The study specifically sought to establish effects of social media on learning behaviour of secondary school students in Moshi Municipality, Tanzania. The study adopted Banduras’ Social Learning Theory and Katz’s User Gratification Theory to inform both the methodology and analysis. The study used the convergent parallel design and correlation design. The target population was 1480 students from 45 secondary schools in Moshi Municipality in Tanzania. The sample size was 5 schools from Moshi Municipality from which 148 participants were selected (125 students, 6 teachers, 10 parents, 5 principals and 3 Municipal Education Officers). The study used structured questionnaire and interview schedule to collect data. The questionnaires were administered on the students and the teachers and interview schedule for principals, parents and education officers. The quantitative data was analyzed using tables and frequencies while qualitative data was coded in narration form, and both were interpreted to answer the questions of the study. Qualitative data findings showed that: the accessibility of the social media influences the learning behaviour of secondary students; wasting of learning time among the students; poor class attendance and potential frauds among students. It also confirmed that poor parenting influences the learning behaviour of students.

The Ethic of Beneficence: A Critical Overview
Authors: Dr. Suhas Shetgovekar  
Published: November 2022

Beneficence is a significant and premier ethical issue that can also be termed as the main goal of any research. It is usually combined with nonmaleficence. Beneficence and nonmaleficence have been included as Principal A under General Principles of American Psychological Association (APA) and imply that any research that is carried out should benefit the participants and should not harm them in any way. Due care needs to be taken in this direction to ensure safety and wellbeing of the participants. Beneficence and nonmaleficence also include safeguarding of the welfare and rights of the participants. The researchers need to be aware about personal (including the physical and mental health of the researcher), financial, social, organisational and political factors that can interfere with ensuring the welfare and safety of the participants. Any research is to be carried out with main goal of benefit to the participants as well as the society in general. However, recently, there has been a shift in this, as many a times research is carried out not for the overall benefit of the participants or the society but for reasons like academic progress and financial benefits. This can lead to research that does not fully contribute the existing fund of knowledge and violates the foremost ethical issue of beneficence and nonmaleficence. A researcher can also come across a number of challenges and dilemmas while practicing beneficence. Some of the challenges and dilemmas that will be covered in this paper deal with autonomy vs beneficence, minimal risk and research with high or moderate risk but high benefits, that can lead to conflict in the researcher about the study. The risk and benefit ratio also needs to be calculated while carrying out any research and the research needs to be designed in such a way as to ensure maximum benefit and minimum risk. Balancing beneficence and nonmaleficence in a research is also a significant challenge faced by any researcher that will be covered in this paper.

Post-test was conducted after two weeks using the same instruments. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result revealed that the mean post-test score of Perceived Stress (X2 = 25.72) was significantly lower than the mean pre-test score of Perceived Stress (X1 =66.04) in the Experimental Group. The participants in the Experimental Group had Positive Ways of Coping as their predominant Ways of Coping, such as accepting responsibility, positive reappraisal, Planful problem solving and seeking social support after hardiness training. The ‘t’ value computed between the mean pre-test scores and the mean post-test scores of Perceived Stress (t =29.513, df-49, p < 0.001) in Experimental Group were statistically significant at 0.001 level. The independent‘t’ test computed between the post-test scores of Experimental and Control Group on Perceived Stress (t =31.68, df-98, p < 0.001) and Ways of Coping (t =19.74, df-98, p < 0.001) were statistically significant at 0.001 level.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore the Job Burnout and Exploitation among Government and Private sector Employee. Burnout is defined as a symptom of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment at work due to work activity (Meshach, 1982). Burnout is a prolonged response to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job, and is defined by the three dimensions of exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy. Wright (1997) proposes a related definition of exploitation though it is not formulated in terms of the concept of rent. In addition to the causal link between advantages and disadvantages of classes, Wright requires that the advantaged class depend on the fruits of labor of the disadvantaged class for exploitation to exist. Thus when the European settlers displaced Native Americans they did not exploit by obtaining an advantage at the expense of Native Americans; they engaged in “no exploitative economic oppression.”The sample consisted of 60 employees from government and private sector in Kheda and Ahmadabad. This includes 30 male and 30 female Government & private sector employees. (Bank/ LIC) The instruments used to measure the variables were: 1. job burnout and 2. Exploitation. The tool used for the research is job burnout scale developed by Zaki Akhtar and exploitation scale by Ramandeep Kaur and Mena Jhamat. Job- burnout scale has 30 statements, out of which 28 are positive and 2 are negative. And exploitation scale has 46 items. Data will be analyzed by‘t’ test. The findings of the study indicated that a major portion of the employee’ population faced moderately low Job burnout and exploitation and the remaining faced moderately high job burnout and exploitation. Experience and gender did not affect the job burnout and exploitation among employee.
