EFFECTS OF EFL STUDENTS’ USE OF METACOGNITIVE STRATEGIES IN EXTENSIVE READING TASKS ON THEIR READING PERFORMANCE AND ATTITUDES
Authors: Duong Uyen Do Thanh , Nguyen Khang Duy 
Published: November 2022

Reading plays important role in teaching and learning a second language as in reading, information is acquired and processed before learners can reach the final goal of English learning – communication. Extensive reading is a helpful way to develop students’ reading habits. A quasi-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design was conducted in the Vietnamese educational context to investigate the effects of students’ use of metacognitive strategies on intermediate learners’ reading performance and attitudes. The results indicated positive changes in learners’ performance and attitudes, especially in higher-order thinking ability. Thirty-two participants from the convenient sampling method attended a 10-week reading course with metacognitive strategies embedded in extensive reading tasks. The scores from tests showed an improvement in reading comprehension ability and higher-order thinking application. The data from the questionnaire and semi-structured interview contributes to the positive attitudes toward students towards reading activities. This study has discovered the significant effects on the awareness of learners and afterwards cognition thinking. Learners have achieved a higher level of cognitive reading, critical reading and positive attitudes towards reading activity.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0552/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE EFFECT OF ELECTROLYTES AND ENERGY DRINKS CONSUMPTION ON ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE – A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Authors: Tambalis Konstantinos D. 
Published: November 2022

The major aim of the current narrative review was to present the current scientific knowledge on the potential effect of electrolytes and energy drink consumption on athletic performance and make recommendations for safe consumption. Athletes appreciate the need to consume fluids before, during, and after exercise as well as the significance of hydration by using drinks or/and energy drinks containing carbohydrates, salts, caffeine, taurine, and other ingredients. Energy drinks are considered by many athletes and/or exercisers to promote, in addition to high levels of energy, important hydration during exercise. The high levels of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere combined with intense exercise of the athlete increases the fluid requirements to avoid a possible risk of thermal disturbances. It is recommended that at least 4 hours before the start of the sports effort, the athlete should consume 5-7 ml of fluids per kilogram of body weight. During exercise that lasts more than 40 minutes, the creation of personalized hydration strategies is proposed. The athlete should try to drink fluids to replace, at least to some extent, enough of the fluid lost through sweat so that the total fluid deficit for a training session or competition is kept at no more than approximately 2% of body mass (an average of 200 ml per 20 min of exercise). During exercise lasting more than 1 hour and causing fatigue, athletes are advised to consume a carbohydrate source that is rapidly converted to blood glucose, while, sodium should be included in fluids consumed during exercise lasting more than 1-2 hours. The main ergogenic nutrients in most energy drinks appear to be carbohydrates and/or caffeine and taurine. The ergogenic value of caffeine on mental and physical performance is well established. Consuming energy drinks 10-60 minutes before exercise can improve focus, alertness, anaerobic performance, and/or aerobic exercise performance. Higher calorie energy drink intake may promote weight gain if the energy intake from its consumption is not carefully assessed as part of total daily energy intake. Children and adolescents should consider using energy drinks only with parental consent and after considering the number of carbohydrates, caffeine, and other nutrients contained in energy drinks.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0333/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Employee retention is a strategy of retaining talented employees with a specific end goal to meet business targets. Employee turnover is a symptom of deeper issues that have not been resolved. Hospitality Industry in Nigeria has faced several issues, including poor employee retention and low staff motivation. Part of the reasons for the poor employee retention and high turnover in the Hospitality Sector was owning to issues that border on green human resource management practices and green work life balance, and the inflexible nature of their job. Other certain reasons for poor employee retention include low pay, lack of development opportunities, and bad working conditions with greater efforts by staff and fewer receivables. Therefore, this paper examines the effect of green human resource management practices, green work life balance on employee retention of selected hospitality firms in Lagos and Ogun States, Nigeria. The data collected through the primary sources (questionnaire) were analysed using inferential statistics employing regression analysis. The study revealed that Green human resource management practices, green work life balance (green performance management, green employee relation, green disciplinary management, work family balance and work health balance) had a significant and positive effect on employee retention in hospitality firms in Lagos and Ogun states, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.540, F (4, 669) = 176.897, p &lt; 0.05).<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0939/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
SELF-MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEE RESEARCH OUTPUT IN SELECTED PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN OGUN STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Oba-Adenuga Olusegun Adeleke , Asikhia Olalekan U. , Akpa Victoria Ozioma 
Published: November 2022

The academic staff of universities plays a very important role in terms of the growth and development of nations’ economies. They make a positive contribution to the growth of a nation and are generally seen as the basis by which the needed high-level manpower or a country's development could be achieved. Despite the enormous contributions of the university sector, it is observed that their performance level especially in Nigeria is low compared to that of other nations. This is evident in declining research output. This challenge has been attributed to a variety of factors, including poor self-management. This study examined the interaction between emotional intelligence and employee performance in selected private universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. A research survey was employed in this study. The population was 1464 full-time academic staff of selected six private Universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling, stratified sampling and simple random sampling techniques were adapted to obtain a response from all the cadres of the academic staff. The sample size of 308 was determined using Raosoft calculator. A structured and adapted questionnaire went through validity and reliability tests with Cronbach Alpha ranges between 0.728 and 0.954. The inferential statistics employed Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient to test the hypothesis of the study. The study revealed that self-management had significant relationship with employee research output (r (296) = 0.803, p &lt; 0.05). This study concluded that self-management affects employee research output in selected private universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that private universities should continue to improve their academic staff’s personal development skills in order to help improve their organization's personal development. This can be achieved through sending their academic staff to conferences/workshop, seminars, and training programmes.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0955/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
WORKPLACE INJUSTICE AND THE PLACE OF THE VICTIM; THE ANTECEDENTS OF TALK ABOUT WORKPLACE INJUSTICE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BAMENDA, CAMEROON
Authors: Arrey Mbayong Napoloen , Fomba Emmanuel Mbebeb , Tiendem Nicodemus 
Published: November 2022

Purpose: This study examines the role of a victim of workplace injustice in their own recovery process. It asks: can victims recover from the negative effects of a fairness violation, and more specifically, can talk, that is, conversation with others, aid such a recovery process? This study argues that such victims of workplace injustice will be motivated to reduce this distressing condition, to repair their relational selves, via talk. It is argued that this state of threatened relational need will lead to both emotional and cognition talk via anger. Methodology/Design/Approaches: A repeated cross-sectional survey was carried out at two time points separated by six weeks. The data and analyses for this study came from the first survey, with a replication of the results conducted with the second time point of data to examine the validity of the findings. The sample for this study used 166 employees of the University of Bamenda. The average age of participants was 43 years (SD = 15.66), and their tenure with the company was on average 7.94 years (SD = 7.33). Sixty percent (60%) of the participants were Female. Findings: The study uncovered antecedents and consequences of talk; anger and thwarted justice needs were found to trigger talk, with an interaction between emotion and cognition talk driving victim-centred outcomes of rumination, self-affirmation and active solutions. Research Limitations: It should be noted, that the present study is perhaps best assessed by cross-sectional design rather than separating predictor and criterion variables over separate time periods. The issue lies with the nature of talk – conversations unfold soon after an event. Too much temporal separation leaves a researcher open to missing the fundamental intricacies of conversation that occurs and perhaps artificially inflating the links between injustice, needs and talk. Originality: This empirical research is the first of its kind to be carried out within the context of the victims of injustice at the University of Bamenda. The study area is unique as no related research has been carried out within the University of Bamenda. As such, if the findings of this study are implemented within the study area, the present study will be one step towards a greater appreciation of workplace injustice as experienced through the eyes of a victim, providing impetus to the integration of both organisational justice and talk as fields of enquiry.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0567/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
EXTRINSIC FACTORS INFLUENCING THE JOB MOTIVATION OF PUBLIC SECTOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN NAKURU COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Githatu Grace Watiri 
Published: November 2022

Diverse factors provide indicators of job motivation challenges amongst healthcare workers. These factors include the high level of employee turnover. For example, in 2017, an estimated 700 doctors quit employment in government-run hospitals. Additionally, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Union (KMPDU) estimated that up to 2,300 doctors had left devolved sector employment between 2014 and 2016 for private sector engagement or further education abroad. Moreover, the various groups of healthcare workers including doctors, nurses, and clinical officers have held numerous industrial strikes against their employers. Consequently, this study seeks to study the factors influencing job motivation in the healthcare public sector. The study is based on Herzberg’s 2-factor theory that splits factors affecting employee job motivation as extrinsic and motivating factors. The study used a descriptive research design and the target population was health workers in Nakuru County Public health facilities including doctors, clinical officers, laboratory technicians, pharmacists and nurses. The study population was 1756 respondents. The sample size of this study, using Taro Yamane’s (1967) formula, was 326 respondents. The correlation between diverse factors and job motivation was examined. The study found a strong positive correlation between extrinsic factors and job motivation (r = 0.633, p value = 0.000). The regression analysis results revealed that a unit increase in extrinsic factors is associated with a 0.318 increase in job motivation levels.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0968/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

COOPETIÇÃO APLICADA A PEQUENAS E MÉDIAS EMPRESAS: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA / COOPETITION APPLIED TO SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Baptista Nuno 
Published: November 2022

<p>Assiste-se a um crescente interesse na academia por investigação sobre coopetição, um conceito que descreve uma situação particular na qual empresas que simultaneamente competem também cooperam. O interesse acadêmico por este tema aparenta derivar da natureza paradoxal do conceito que integra duas lógicas contraditórias e do facto de a coopetição se ter tornado parte integrante da estratégia de várias empresas de referência a nível internacional. Apesar do interesse contemporâneo pelo tema, que justificou uma série de revisões de literatura, deteta-se ainda uma escassez de investigação de síntese focada no caso específico das pequenas e médias empresas. Este estudo consiste numa revisão narrativa da literatura, precedida por uma análise bibliométrica, que explora as razões potenciais que podem levar as pequenas e médias empresas a coopetir. A revisão efetuada confirma o potencial da coopetição como estratégia para lidar com alguns dos desafios enfrentados pelas pequenas e médias empresas, nomeadamente a sua imaturidade e as fragilidades que resultam da escassez de recursos. Contudo, a revisão indica que estas empresas enfrentam riscos significativos ao adotar este tipo de estratégia e que decorrem da possibilidade oportunismo pelos parceiros, fuga de conhecimento e segredos do negócio e apropriação da maior proporção do valor criado pelos parceiros. </p><p> </p><p>There is an increasing attention in the academy for investigation about coopetition, a concept that describes a situation in which companies simultaneously engage in cooperation and competition. The interest in the topic appears to be related with the paradoxical nature of the concept, that integrates two opposite logics, and the fact that coopetition has become part of the strategy of various leading multinational companies. Despite the contemporary appeal of the topic, that justified several review studies, there is still a shortage of research focused on the particular case of coopetition involving small and medium size companies. This study consists in a narrative literature review coupled with bibliometric analysis that explores the potential reasons that lead small and medium size companies to coopete. The results of the study confirm the suitability of coopetition as a strategy to deal with some of the challenges faces by small and medium size companies, including the lack of experience and shortage of resources. However, the literature indicates that these companies face significant risks when adopting coopetition that drive from the possibility of opportunistic behaviors from coopetition partners, knowledge and business secrets leakage and unbalanced value appropriation from partners. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0647/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

<p>The decision to spend a great holiday in Egypt relies on different factors to be analysed. As visitors increasingly rely on online customer evaluations, booking reviews, Word of Mouth, and past experiences, the risk of choosing the wrong hotel after considerable effort can ruin their holiday. The various risk associated with choosing suitable accommodation for consumers is an important area for hospitality to monitor. Unlike other industries, from risk assessment to compliance, there is no one industry standard or regulatory framework to guide methodologies in the hospitality industry. As a result, consumer risk perception and its effect on purchase behaviour are essential to tourism and hospitality business management. Hence, the study objectives were to measure the impact of various risk types associated with the hospitality industry on consumer repeat purchase behaviour. The results indicated that three types of risks significantly negatively affect the repeat purchase decisions to spend the holiday in the same hotel. Family travellers are keener on financial risk than other travellers. The study has a managerial and academic contribution to how to deal with such types of risks. </p><p> </p>A decisão de passar umas ótimas férias no Egito depende de diversos fatores a serem analisados. À medida que os visitantes confiam cada vez mais em avaliações de clientes on-line, avaliações de reservas, boca a boca e experiências anteriores, o risco de escolher o hotel errado após um esforço considerável pode arruinar suas férias. Os vários riscos associados à escolha de acomodações adequadas para os consumidores são uma área importante para a hospitalidade monitorar. Ao contrário de outros setores, desde a avaliação de riscos até a conformidade, não há um padrão do setor ou estrutura regulatória para orientar as metodologias no setor de hospitalidade. Como resultado, a percepção de risco do consumidor e seu efeito no comportamento de compra são essenciais para a gestão de negócios de turismo e hospitalidade. Assim, os objetivos do estudo foram medir o impacto de vários tipos de risco associados ao setor de hospitalidade no comportamento de compra repetida do consumidor. Os resultados indicaram que três tipos de riscos afetam significativamente negativamente as decisões de compra repetidas para passar as férias no mesmo hotel. Viajantes em família são mais interessados em riscos financeiros do que outros viajantes. O estudo traz uma contribuição gerencial e acadêmica sobre como lidar com esses tipos de riscos.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0927/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Published: November 2022

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in the Malaysian economy. The success of SMEs is critical for Malaysia's total economic progression, both nationally and globally. Conducting business online is one of the opportunities social media has provided entrepreneurs. SMEs often lack the means to conduct in-house marketing operations or hire a skilled marketing consultant. Social media is a massive dialogue that everyone can join. With social media, businesses have the added advantage of following statements and replying instantly. While there is much literature on social media marketing methods, there is not much information on how businesses might utilize social media to enhance profits. There is little academic research into the elements that drive social media use and its impact on SMEs in Malaysia. This research aims to develop an understanding of improving the use of social media as a marketing tool in SMEs and address its relationship to brand awareness, consumers' engagement, word-of-mouth, conversion rate, and effectiveness. For this quantitative study, data was collected using questionnaires conveyed to SMEs engaged in online marketing activities. The survey yielded 177 valid responses. The findings of this study indicate that word-of-mouth and engagement were insignificant. However, brand awareness and conversion rates were significant. This result is significant for SMEs in emerging markets as it allows them to establish their marketing presence and enhance brand equity.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0811/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
OPTING WITHIN TRANSLATION STRATEGIES IN LITERARY TEXT TRANSLATION AMONG UNDERGRADUATES
Authors: Gavrilović Žana , Kurteš Ognjen 
Published: November 2022

This article epitomises different approaches to translation and explores the results of the application of the most commonly used translational strategies in literary text translation in an academic context, among the third-year students of the undergraduate studies of English and Chinese and English at the University of East Sarajevo. After the relevant theoretical background, the empirical part of the article offers the presentation and discussion of the most commonly used translational strategies in reference to particular structural elements in a literary text, proper nouns restructuring and culture-specific items adaptation. The premise was that the restructuring of specific translation units was carried out with the application of literal translation, original form retention and paraphrasing, along with the possible deviations from the text faithfulness. The text-based approach and convenience sampling method showed that the most complex part was to restructure the omitted introductory elements in subordinate clauses, time/tense variations in back-shifted clauses in indirect speech and the choice of the most proper strategy in the restructuring of proper nouns (particularly toponyms). Further focus was on the examination of intercultural mismatch and translational restructuring of the source language-specific cultural items. As for the restructuring of proper nouns, the respondents mostly opted for foreignisation, considering the option to be the safest ground.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0587/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
