Authors: Jao Joa H. , Buenaventura Viola P. 
Published: November 2022

The main goal of this study is to determine the mediating effect of contextual characteristics on the relationship between work conditions and the performance of TLE teachers in Davao del Sur, Philippines. To determine the mediating effect of contextual characteristics, correlation design employing mediating analysis was employed in this study. Adopted survey questionnaires were given to a sample of N=167 teachers from public secondary schools in the Division of Davao del Sur. The questionnaires were validated by experts contextualizing to the local setting. Regression and Path Analysis were used to determine the mediating effect of contextual characteristics on the relationship between work conditions and the performance of TLE teachers. The findings revealed that the level of work conditions is very high, the level of performance of TLE teachers is high and there was a significant relationship between work conditions and performance of TLE teachers. This significant effect revealed partial mediation. Hence, TLE teachers’ contextual characteristics partially mediate the relationship between work conditions and the performance of TLE teachers.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0587/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
YOUNG LEARNERS’ COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE MORAL EMPATHY USING MOTHER-TONGUE LANGUAGE VERSUS NON-NATIVE TONGUE LANGUAGE
Authors: Heffelfinger Peacocke Louise 
Published: November 2022

This research examines children’s levels of cognitive and affective moral empathic responses in an education setting when using either their mother-tongue (MT) versus their non-native tongue (NNT). This between-subjects, mixed-methods design used a small exploratory sample. Quantitative data was generated through Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright’s Empathy Quotient questionnaire (2008) and qualitative data was generated from two audio-recorded class discussions with the same participants. While clearer research is emerging regarding adult’s diminished cognitive, affective, and somatic empathy levels when using their NNT, there has to date been no similar research with children in a learning context. The study is neither generalisable nor offers statistical significance, but nonetheless suggests that more research needs to be conducted in this area, including isolating variables such as gender and socio-economic status of children using MT versus NNT. Additionally, the implications for fostering empathic concern and empathic action in education systems through greater focus on children’s engagement with visual and performing arts and in reading literary fiction are briefly examined.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0584/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Public education system of Sri Lanka suffers from poor education outcomes and wide disparities in academic achievement across schools, and studies reveal that students’ outcomes are best when the teachers are qualified in both subjects, they are assigned to teach and in pedagogy. At present teacher stress has become a critical issue in the educational field which affects negatively towards classroom climate; teacher student relationship, teacher creativity, teaching methodologies and student outcomes, while a positive classroom climate results in better academic, social, and emotional outcomes for students. Though the studies have revealed that teacher can improve their well-being, as well as the classroom climate and the student outcomes through the use of mindfulness practices which was taught by the Buddha 2600 years ago, any convincing evidence of the influence of both, teachers’ mindfulness and professional skills on classroom climate towards student outcomes in Sri Lanka or any other country cannot be found. To fulfil that gap, this study explored the influence of teachers’ mindfulness and professional skills on classroom climate towards student outcomes in the government schools in Sri Lanka, using pre-test and post-test experimental design. Data was collected before and after 8-week intervention period, from a sample consisted of 230 students and nine teachers of English, that were observed quantitatively. Findings revealed that teachers’ mindfulness and professional skills as two of the most influential factors that decide the student outcomes directly and via classroom climate of a school, that offer valuable recommendations to the education system in Sri Lanka, in order to enhance student academic and behavioural outcomes by taking steps to improve the professional skills of teachers and the mindful living of both teachers and students.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0569/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
CONSULTANCY WORK ABROAD FOR POLICY RESEARCH IN EDUCATION
Authors: Benett Yves 
Published: November 2022

This article is based on the premise that recorded accounts of Policy Research in Education (in less advanced countries) are not sufficiently clear and /or detailed enough about the different Tiers and Stages of the Policy Process that they describe, and about the complexity and diversity of Policy Research. The aim of the article then is to increase awareness of the Policy Process and of Policy Research among researchers and to promote discussions about policy issues among policymakers and among sponsors of Policy Research. The article presents summaries of three Policy Research studies (in Turkey, The Gambia, and Mali, respectively) that draw attention to the above points.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0598/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Wu Mengjiao , Kuwajima Kaoru 
Published: November 2022

The existent research details pedagogical benefits of infographics in enhancing communication, comprehension, learning, and motivation, while more research on the potential educational benefits of using infographics is needed regarding their application in second language acquisition. The aim of this study was specifically to investigate the effects of using infographics as a supplemental teaching tool in EFL classes with a focus on learning outcomes and English learning motivation. The study was conducted in two lower-intermediate English classes at a Japanese university. An infographic of the grammar points of simple past/past continuous was designed and applied as a supplement to the textbook-related content. One class was taught in a textbook-infographic order and the other vice versa. Participants’ understanding of the target grammar points and English learning motivation were measured. The findings suggested that students were able to learn effectively using the provided infographics, but it is more effective to use infographics after the textbook teaching. Students showed higher English language learning motivation after the interventions and a high interest in using infographics in their English language course. Teaching advices on using infographics in EFL classes were discussed.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0258/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p>Cette recherche vise à comprendre, la persistance des comportements d’absentéisme dans l’administration publique du Burkina Faso. Dans l’ensemble les pratiques au sein de cette administration ne diffèrent pas significativement de ce qui se pratique ailleurs sur le continent. Cependant, d’un pays à l’autre il existe certainement des différences. C’est pour cerner ces particularités au niveau du Burkina Faso en matière d’absentéisme que nous avons, pour ce faire, formulé cette hypothèse générale qui vise à analyser les déterminants psycho-sociaux à l’origine de la persistance des comportements d’absentéisme des agents de l’administration publique du Burkina Faso. Notre hypothèse générale a été élaborée en se basant sur les théories de la satisfaction au travail (Maslow, 1943 ; Herzberg, 1966 ; Adelfer, 1969), de l’absentéisme (à travers le modèle de la douleur de Chadwick-Jones, Nicholson &amp; Brown, 1982), de l’adaptation (Johns, 1997) et de la décision mise au point (Steers et Rhodes, 1978). Les résultats obtenus montrent que la satisfaction intrinsèque, n’explique pas l’absentéisme. Toutefois, l’étude révèle que lorsque la satisfaction extrinsèque d’un agent augmente son absentéisme baisse.</p><p> </p><p>This research aims to understand the persistence of absenteeism behaviors in the public administration of Burkina Faso. On the whole, the practices within this administration do not differ significantly from what is practiced elsewhere on the continent. However, from country to country there are certainly differences. It is to identify these particularities at the level of Burkina Faso in terms of absenteeism that we have, to do this, formulate two hypotheses. These hypotheses were developed based on the theories of job satisfaction, particularly those developed by Maslow (1943), Herzberg (1966), Adelfer (1969), but also on the theories of absenteeism through the model of pain (Chadwick-Jones, Nicholson &amp; Brown, 1982), that of adaptation (Johns, 1997) and finally the decision model developed by Steers and Rhodes (1978). The results obtained show that intrinsic satisfaction in no way explains absenteeism, which means that the relationship between intrinsic satisfaction and absenteeism has not been confirmed. However, when their extrinsic satisfaction with an agent increases, their absenteeism decreases. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0951/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PERCEIVED INCLUSIVE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES AND WORK ENGAGEMENT IN CIVIL SERVICE: A CHALLENGE FOR 21 CENTURY LEADER IN THE PUBLIC SECTORS OF MALAYSIA
Authors: Sija Andrew 
Published: November 2022

Leadership in the 21st Century demands a great leader who is inclusive in leveraging knowledge, insights and perspectives in diverse workplaces which can make organizations capture a competitive advantage from changing demographics across the workplace and in the marketplace. It needs a leader to take on the opportunity, new way and understanding of what to do and how to do things differently. To be a great leader in public service, organizations would need to invest in developing them. Despite investing significant resources in the training and development of leaders for their competencies, quality, efficiency and improving organization’s performance, many leaders often feel unprepared to be inclusive. The aim of this study, therefore, is to examine how inclusive leadership challenges foster employee work engagement. Three key leadership challenges (personal leadership, managing and motivating, building and leading a team) were successfully identified by Centre for Creative Leadership (CCL) and measured as significant toward employee work engagement in the selected public sectors in Malaysia. A quantitative study was conducted, and hypotheses were tested on a sample of 240 employees in four divisions using Pearson correlation and Multiple Regressions analysis. The result shows that inclusive leadership challenges were positively associated with work engagement, personal leadership challenges with the unstandardized coefficients Beta value of 0.316 followed by building and leading team challenge with Beta value of 0.206 were supported and stronger predictors in influencing employees’ work engagement in the public sector. This study shows that greater concerns from the employees in the public sector on the quality of the leadership in the 21st Century currently bring daily to work practice. Inclusive leadership is crucial for employee engagement, commitment and performance. This study also contributes both theoretical and empirical value to the public sector in formulating proper strategies for having great leaders to fostering inclusiveness in employees’ work engagement.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0559/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
HUMAN RESOURCES NEW CHALLENGES FOR CANADIAN EMPLOYERS - ANALYSIS OF THE HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM INDUSTRIES STRUGGLING THROUGH 2022
Authors: Ben Messaoud Houssem Eddine 
Published: November 2022

The emergence of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in December 2019 was a wake-up call for the human resources community. In some ways, COVID-19 was a real game changer, but in other ways, it was simply another flashpoint in an ongoing HR transformation. Many have lost their jobs, and employers and their human resources departments have had to adjust to the situation. Some industries succeeded in going through the pandemic while others did not. It is no wonder why many employees have reoriented their careers to other industries, especially those who used to work in tourism and hospitality. Today, these industries are facing more challenges than ever before, and the lack of employees is making the HR job more difficult and, in many cases, impossible to find employees. This paper is about the HR challenges before and after the pandemic. It is aimed at exploring how human resources management has evolved and changed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. From a historical perspective, we will first provide an overview of the history of human resources management in relation to the pandemic and then discuss the contemporary issues that have emerged following the outbreak. Then we will analyze the HR situation in Canada and how the pandemic has affected it and its backdown on hospitality and tourism.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0743/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

The study assessed the levels of human resource aspects, examined performance levels of Child Development Centre (CDC’s) Projects and ascertained the influence of human resource aspects on the performance of CDC Projects in Arua city. It was hypothesized that there was no significant influence of human resource aspects on the performance of CDC Projects in Arua city. The study employed descriptive research designs; data were obtained from 72 respondents through questionnaires, interviews and follow-up interviews. The study revealed that generally, the level of human resource aspects in CDC’s in Arua city was high as shown by a grand Mean of 3.62 (72.4%), and the level of performance of CDC Projects in Arua city was high as shown by a grand mean of 3.78 (75.6%). The study further found out that human resource aspects: staff competences (B=.485; p=.000) and motivation (B=.347; p=.000) significantly influenced the performance of CDC Projects in Arua city while health and safety (B=.002; p=.689) had statistically insignificant influence on the performance of CDC projects in Arua city. However, overall, Human resource aspects (R=.673, R2=.452; P=.000) significantly influenced the performance of CDC Projects in Arua city. The null hypothesis that there was no significant influence of human resource aspects on the performance of CDC Projects in Arua city was rejected because the P-values of 0.000 was found to be less than the level of significance of 0.05. Therefore, it was recommended that CDC Projects in Arua city improve the levels of human resource aspects such as staff competences, motivation, health and safety to further increase their performance. Additional studies are carried out on other factors contributing to 54.8% in influencing the performance of CDC Projects in Arua city.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0457/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Generation-Y (Gen-Y) is the largest generational cohort in the global workforce, surpassing 50 percent in 2020, making them the most influential group to impact work performance. Highly competitive telecommunication companies continuously look for ways to improve employees' work performance. This research focuses on how social media improves the work performance of Gen-Y employees of a telco in Malaysia through social media use, shared vision, network ties, trust, and knowledge transfer. This research discovered an insignificant relationship between social media use at the workplace and work performance. This is because social media is currently not an official workplace tool, and its usage is limited among Gen-Y employees in the telco. It was also uncovered that using social media to act as a tool to gain trust did not influence work performance, even though the telco's primary official communication tool is email and a mobile app for communication and collaboration purposes. Nevertheless, this research uncovered that shared vision, network ties, and knowledge transfer is significant for the telco's Gen-Y employees to enhance their work performance. In conclusion, the telco's management can leverage social media to improve the work performance of Gen-Y employees by developing a social media strategy to provide a suitable framework with proper guidelines, policies, and procedures.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0967/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
DETERMINANTS OF MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES' CHOICE OF MARKET-ENTRY MODE FOR OPERATING IN ETHIOPIA: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
Authors: Imiru Getie Andualem 
Published: November 2022

<p>Multinational corporations must make a difficult decision because their entry strategy is influenced by a number of factors. The purpose of this research is to look into the factors that influence the entry strategies chosen by multinational corporations doing business in Ethiopia. To collect data at a specific time, this study used cross-sectional surveys and an explanatory research methodology. Data from multinational corporations were collected for this study using deliberate sampling methods. In the end, only 120 (or 80%) of the 154 surveys distributed were returned. However, only 112 surveys were used for the statistical analysis, yielding a response rate of 72 percent. To investigate the factors influencing the choice of entry mode, a multinomial legit model was used. The study discovered that, at a 5% level of significance, the size of the firm and the size of the market had a positive and substantial influence on the decision to choose export and intermediate entry over the hierarchical entrance. However, at a 10% significance level, factors such as global experience, market infrastructure, cultural distance, flexibility, and degree of control are favourably and significantly impacting the decision to choose the export and intermediate modes of entrance over the hierarchical modes. The recommendations based on the study's findings consider how the study may affect different stakeholders, such as the Ethiopian government, regional businesses, international firms, and other researchers.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0333/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
