Experience of Using Bifactor Models to Reduce the Effects of Social Desirability on the Normative Questionnaire of Universal Competencies

One of the significant lack of questionnaires is a scores distortion for the measured constructs, associated with the social desirability effects. An even greater threat to the validity of decisions is social desirability in high-stakes evaluation, such as selection for a position. Moreover the issue of the relationship between different components of social desirability and the most frequently measured personal constructs remains debatable. In the material of the author's normative questionnaire of universal competencies, an approach is considered for making adjustments to the final scores for measured constructs using the developed scales of egoistic and moralistic social desirability. Also discussed the prospect of using statement formulations that are neutral to social desirability or express the most positive degree of measured indicators.&#x0D; The empirical basis of this study is data gathered within a pilot conducted in the spring of 2022, during which data were obtained from 579 respondents in 49 measurable competencies. The analysis was aimed at assessing the quality of the developed scales of social desirability and modeling of each of the universal competencies scales was carried out with the inclusion of a scale of social desirability. The data were analyzed in the framework of structural modeling - confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using bifactor models for each of the measured competencies.&#x0D; According to the results of this study, the use of the scale of egoistic social desirability as a measure for adjusting factor scores for the competencies has generally satisfactory psychometric statistics, but there is concern about the relatively large measurement error. The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of this approach and other practices that are most often used to reduce the effects of social desirability in the academic and business environment.&#x0D;

The Law Applicable to Digital Representations of Off-chain Assets

This chapter aims to critically examine the conflict-of-laws implications of asset tokenisation, i.e. the progressive and increasing use of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) to represent, manage, track and transfer real world assets. While the analysis is grounded on current DLTs applications and the current state of the law, it is also largely prospective. Both intra-systemic and inter-systemic dimensions are considered, as issues of the legal nature of tokens and their localisation are strongly intertwined. Also, the possibility to monetise poorly liquid assets appears to largely account for the keen interest showed by economic actors in the tokenisation of assets. It is argued that legal systems should take due account of this new reality and adapt both substantially and at the conflict-of-laws level to secure rather than hinder transactions. Various proposed solutions and alternatives are scrutinised to conclude that both substantive private law and conflict of laws should focus on where the risks of asset tokenisation concentrate, i.e. the moment of transmutation of the underlying assets into tokens and vice versa. Concrete proposals are made, but political and policy decisions will remain a key necessity.
Should Crypto-Asset Regulation Be Technology-Neutral?

Almost every legislative project on crypto assets defends the principle of technological neutrality. This principle is based on three arguments. Future-proofing protects against the risk of change or obsolescence. Impartiality protects against the risk of discrimination between economic actors making different technical choices. Functional equivalence means that the same business leads to the same rules, even when that business is served by different technologies and processes. But bringing the principle to the fore may also hide some unease with the technicality of the subject. Implementing the technology-neutrality principle into legislation is proving tricky. National legislators are tempted to adopt vague or clumsy legal definitions, or to rely on industry regulators to sort out the details. The lack of clear definitions complicates the writing of operational rules. Some lawmakers use the legacy legal framework as the basis for amendments with the result that the new one is rather skewed toward legacy technologies than actually neutral. Applied too literally, the technology-neutrality principle may leave some issues unaddressed with too much discretionary power on supervisors or judges. Legal uncertainty may be just shifted rather than reduced. Investors may not see technology-neutrality as an end in itself if it compromises the very profitability of a DLT-specific investment. Finally, with respect to Private International Law, applying technological neutrality within national law while seeking harmonisation of crypto-asset regulation with that of other jurisdictions looks like squaring the circle…
Proprietary Rights in Digital Assets and the Conflict of Laws

The law governing rights with third party effect (proprietary rights, rights in rem) in digital assets has been a point of controversy for some time, in particular with regard to crypto assets. Crypto assets exist on distributed ledgers and therefore cannot be ‘located’ in the way tangible assets can, but they cannot readily be qualified as ‘rights’ either. This has led legislators and organisations worldwide to develop a broad range of different solutions with regard to the determination of the applicable law. Broadly speaking, proposed solutions can be divided into two groups: the first group of solutions (‘party-oriented’ solutions) takes the location of the current holder, transferor or security provider as the connecting factor, or the location of an intermediary holding the assets in custody for the holder, transferor or security provider, or the law governing the agreement with the intermediary. Advantages of these solutions include their simplicity and the legal certainty they provide for bulk transactions where the identity and location of the parties is known. Disadvantages include complications in the context of chains of assignments, joint holders, and changing locations, and of course generally unknown identity and/or location of the relevant party. The second group of solutions (‘asset-oriented solutions’) seeks to achieve uniformity of results within one and the same class of assets, trying to ‘locate’ a particular crypto asset in accordance with a choice of law made with regard to the whole class of assets or the whole ledger (elective situs) or some other objective criterion characterising the whole class of assets (such as the seat of the issuer). Any solution will normally end up with a waterfall of connecting factors, so the pivotal point is what should be at the top and at the bottom of the waterfall.
International Insolvency Law and Cryptocurrencies

That the legal nature of cryptocurrencies does not fit into a comprehensive definition is already known. On the one hand, EU case law, albeit for tax purposes, has categorised bitcoin as a means of payment (European Court of Justice, judgment of 22 October 2015, C. 264/14). On the other hand, the highest European banking authority, with the opinion of 12 October 2016, reiterated that “virtual currencies do not qualify as currencies”. These latter words stand up in defence of that State’s patent, theorised by Georg Simmel (in Philosophy of money), concerning the monopoly right to coin money. Yet, this antinomic contradiction is only illusory, as with Directive 843/2018/EU, the European legislator restated that virtual currencies are: a digital representation of value that is not issued or guaranteed by a central bank or a public authority, is not necessarily attached to a legally established currency and does not possess a legal status of currency or money, but is accepted by natural or legal persons as a means of exchange and which can be transferred, stored and traded electronically. On the basis of these considerations, in the first part of this chapter the authors try to outline the current legal framework of cryptocurrencies with regard to their qualification as property. This contribution also focuses on the analysis of the recent proposal of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council, on Markets in Crypto-assets, and amending Directive (EU) 2019/1937. This legislative draft is part of the Digital Finance package (made up of 4 draft laws), with the aim of “ensuring that the EU embraces the digital revolution and drives it with innovative European firms in the lead, making the benefits of digital finance available to European consumers and businesses”. The Commission therefore goes beyond the wait-and-see approach, aiming at uniformisation of the discipline inherent to crypto assets at a supranational level. In this context, the second part of this chapter tackles the issue of the solvency of a debtor with digital assets from a European transnational perspective, especially in light of the discipline laid down by EU Regulation 848/2015. Specifically, it relates how the legal qualification of digital assets, especially concerning cryptocurrencies, will affect the claim of virtual assets owners against the insolvency estate. This analysis then focuses on the debated matters of the insolvency of cryptocurrency exchange platforms and e-wallet service providers (applicable law, jurisdiction, recoverable assets), also relating to insolvency proceedings case-law. The authors thus attempt to relate the issues concerning insolvency, ordinarily connected to the application of national law, with the Blockchain and its decentralisation.

Decomposing Difficulty of Reading Literacy Test Items

The current study investigates the question of test difficulty decomposition depending on the characteristics of items (such as: format, belonging to the type of text to which the item belongs) and the reader's actions required to answer it (search for information in the text, simple conclusions, complex conclusions, critical interpretation of the text). The sample of the study consisted of fourth grade elementary school students in Krasnoyarsk, who completed the computerized test of reading literacy "Progress" in the spring of 2022. Research method: psychometric modeling using the LLTM+e model. Research hypothesis: the decomposition of item difficulties will help to prove that the reading actions required to complete the tasks will form a hierarchy of difficulties similar to traditional taxonomies (B. Bloom), that is, reading skills aimed at analyzing, synthesizing, interpreting information will give tasks greater difficulty than simple conclusions, and those, in turn, will make tasks more difficult than the reader's actions to find information in the text. The results show that the assignment of items to the group of reader's actions is a significant factor. The size of the effects does not allow us to speak of a strict hierarchy, but when other attributes are controlled, the tasks for information retrieval in an explicit form are easier for students than the tasks for complex conclusions and for critical understanding of the text.
Ethical Leadership and Employee Creative Performance: Discussing the mediating role of Employer Feedback Environment in Software Houses of Pakistan

Purpose: The basic purpose of this study was to explore employee creative performance, the contextual issues in the form of the leader’s style, and the feedback environment established by the leader in the Pakistani context. This study has presented a mechanism model for an understanding predictor of employee creative performance with the help of various theories. Methodology: Data was collected and analyzed from software houses registered in PSEB from 320 leader-employee dyads. Our research design was correlational. To reduce the common method biases, data was collected from two sources: leaders and their subordinates by sending the online questionnaire. To measure the uni-dimensionality and validity of construct EFA was performed through SPSS. Further, to assess the common method biases Heterotrait-Monotrait Ratio (HTMT) was used. SEM was used to compute, analyze, and prove relationships of proposed hypotheses and model fitness. CFA was used to confirm the theoretical measurement model, on AMOS 24 by using the rotated factor analysis. Finding: To sustain in this era of the competitive global business environment, organizations can stimulate employee creative performance by focusing on contextual and subjective variables. As per the findings, contextual factors like feedback environment associated with the leader regarding his style should be ethical, have a vital position in an organization for improving creative performance among employees. Specifically, the current study owns its justification and contribution to the literature and practical implications in various ways. Conclusion: The study indicates that the ethical style of leadership has a strong positive (+) association with the creative performance of employees as well as with the employer feedback environment. Also the employer feedback environment has partial mediation among ethical leadership and employee creative performance.

CULTURAL-BASED READING MATERIALS FOR VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL: STUDENTS’ NEED ANALYSIS

English instruction provided in vocational schools (SMK) possesses distinct characteristics when compared to English instruction in general schools. Considering the vocational schools' objective of preparing students to compete effectively in the workforce, it becomes necessary to adapt the instructional materials to cater to the students' specific needs. This research aims to identify the requirements of students in developing culturally-based English reading materials, as assessed from the perspectives of both students and teachers. A combination of questionnaires and interviews was employed to gather the necessary information. A comprehensive analysis, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative aspects, was conducted on the collected data. The findings of the needs assessment unveiled the following key points: 1) students continue to face difficulties in understanding what they read; 2) there is a demand for descriptive texts; 3) English reading materials should be integrated with content relevant to other subjects; and 4) no English reading materials currently exist that consider the students' local culture, specifically the Prabumulih culture. To fulfill these requirements, it is imperative to create supplementary reading resources that incorporate local culture, align with the students' reading proficiency, and support the subject matter effectively.
