This study seeks to determine the impact of working from home policies due to COVID-19 restrictions towards work-life balance and job stress, and the effect of work-life balance and job stress on job satisfaction during the pandemic. It also approached the possibility of workload as a moderating variable between WFH and work-life balance, and WFH and job stress. Changes during the pandemic caused a difference in working conditions employees must adapt to. Using a regression analysis including 200 respondents of Indonesian employees, the results confirmed the relationships between WFH to work-life balance and job stress, and work-life balance and job stress towards job satisfaction. Workload did not have a moderating effect between WFH towards work-life balance or job stress.

Empirical research shows the existence of a relationship between the electoral behaviour of citizens and their economic condition. The economic voting theory explains that in periods of economic growth citizens-voters reward the government considered the author of their well-being; on the contrary, in times of crisis, the population punishes it. The peculiarity of these studies, based on the analysis of secondary data designed for other primary purposes, is to have national territorial dimension, where the percentage of votes collected by government/opposition parties in political national elections is associated to the country’s macro-economic indicators (for example, GDP or unemployment rate). Nevertheless, up to now, only few scholars have analysed this relationship at local level, due to the lack of local statistical data on citizens’ economic conditions. This study tries to fill this gap. It is conducted in the city of Rome, to understand whether the electoral behaviour of Roman citizens changes in function of their economic hardship, in each of the 15 Municipalities of the capital city of Italy. To this end, two different data sources are integrated: Electoral Statistical Office of Rome and Italian Revenue Agency. The results offer empirical evidence to strengthen the local relation between electoral behaviour and economic conditions.

This research aimed to examine the mediating role of financial executive function in the relationship between subjective financial knowledge or self-confidence in one's financial knowledge and financial well-being. A quantitative design was used, with a descriptive and correlational scope. The scales of subjective financial knowledge, financial well-being and financial executive function was applied to 554 university students from Temuco, Chile. The results show that subjective financial knowledge has an indirect effect on the financial control dimension of Financial Well-being, mediated by organization and planning of the executive function scale. Likewise, it was found that subjective financial knowledge had an indirect effect on the dimension of having financial stress through the planning dimension of the executive function scale. It is concluded that it is important to strengthen organization and planning to improve financial well-being, which could be done from an intervention based on financial literacy.

The aim of papers is to describe and discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the traditional approach in undergraduate nursing education in Israel. The lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced an abrupt transformation from the face-to-face educational approach to ERT (Emergency Remote Teaching) in tertiary education in general and in undergraduate nursing education in particular. The current research was part of a mixed-method doctoral study that explored the implementation of a new nursing core curriculum mirroring social change in Israel. This particular section was based on in-depth interviews of 14 heads of nursing schools and nursing departments in colleges and universities. The content data analysis was performed on in-depth interviews. The interviews were conducted between March 2019-January 2021, after the release of the draft version of the new nursing core curriculum. Half of the interviews were completed after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and so relevant to the current discussion. These interviews included additional questions about the transformation to ERT and adjustments for this made in nursing education institutions. The content analysis revealed the theme that exposed the different ways that nursing education programs in Israel were managed during the COVI-19 pandemic. Findings are presented and analyzed. The categories emerging from this theme related to different coping patterns with ERT, consequences, coping with clinical practice challenges and with online examinations and lessons learned. The paper discussed the impact and the perceived necessity of various online platforms. The findings demonstrate that Israeli nursing educators learned to overcome the main barriers to distance learning. This process was largely engendered by the COVID-19 pandemic that forced them to face and manage the situation. The lessons learned equipped them with valuable tools to adjust nursing education to 21st-century demands.

This study aims to find Indonesian workers' decision whether to continue Working from Home (WFH) in the future by measuring how well their job satisfaction is fulfilled by the fulfillment of work-life balance and work motivation. The data from this study was collected from 208 office workers respondents who underwent WFH for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic by distributing an online questionnaire in Indonesia. The study results indicate that office workers feel that work-life balance and work motivation directly affect their job satisfaction. In conclusion, Indonesian workers choose to continue their WFH in the future due to the increase in their job satisfaction during WFH.

The appearance of unaccompanied migrant minors in our communities and the impact they have had on Spanish society, and vice-versa, is a phenomenon of outstanding educational importance, as it has brought into public awareness issues such as child vulnerability and focused our attention on the legal, social and educational policies and resources that are meant to materialise an inclusive, democratic and just society. Around these young people, mainly from the Maghreb and therefore identified with Islam, society has created an image that serves to bolster many Islamophobic, xenophobic and racist discourses emanating from the media and the ideologies of Spanish far-right political parties. This is achieved by generalising the criminal conduct of some migrant youths, by depersonalising them as human beings and by linking news about them to vicarious emotions such as mistrust and the feeling of menace. Recognising the importance of this phenomenon, in this article we present the results of a study aiming to identify and analyse the main stereotypes, attitudes and prejudices that Barcelona secondary-school students have towards unaccompanied migrant minors (MENA in their Spanish initials). To this end a questionnaire based on the Overcoming Prejudice Scale (Etxeberria, Murua, Arrieta, Garmendia & Etxeberria, 2012) was administered. Our findings showed that high-school students hold certain prejudices and stereotypes that should be tackled in order to promote the integration and inclusion of unaccompanied migrant minors and to ensure a culture of peace among young people.

Excellent teachers who provide excellent educational quality educate students with both skills and virtues. Teachers face various emotional problems; they not only work with labor, intellect, and affection, but also have to show appropriate emotions under increasing pressure to create a rational and warm organizational climate in schools. Teachers’ hard work is the emotional labor load. The university teachers in Bangkok, Thailand participated in this study. A total of 480 copies of the questionnaire were distributed. After removing invalid and incomplete ones, 437 copies were remained valid, with a response rate of 91%. The research results showed that a university that fails to meet the teachers’ satisfaction and expectations can result in teachers’ low well-being and job satisfaction as well as teaching inefficiency which seriously lowers the effectiveness of the university and university teachers are medium and high emotional labor workers who consume large amount of emotion and labor in their workplaces, therefore, they can easily show burnout, teaching apathy, and even physical and mental exhaustion under excessive use of emotions, and 3. a university leader who is willing to find a solution to the teachers’ emotional labor load can help them correctly manage their emotions to obtain a high level of well-being and job satisfaction. According to the results it can be discussed that the current study is expected to help in terms of increasing the number of emotion management courses and channels for releasing teachers’ emotional labor load, avoiding emotional dissonance, and promoting teacher efficiency.

In light of the increasing interest in academic integrity, this paper investigates how students from three major Romanian universities conceive academic integrity. We build up an argument of dependency of such definitions on existing academic culture, and on how fast universities, faculties, or fields of study grow with respect to number of enrolled students. The findings reveal that definitions of academic integrity offered by BA students were largely confused, with some of the students being completely unable to focus on the topic. The variation in definitions depends on the size and recent history of the department and university. The universities that experienced recent growths were found have students less likely to focus on academic integrity. The department size plays a buffering role through the inertia of organizational culture and increase in department size leads to better knowledge of academic integrity. Notably, no or very little impact was found across the fields of study in the patterns of defining academic integrity. Policy makers and academic leaders should therefore be aware that in fast-growing universities, academic integrity needs careful instillment among students, and promoting it in terms of knowledge might be rewarding for the health of the organization.

Taiwanese university educators’ efficacy is traditionally associated with the belief in aligning teaching and learning outcomes. However, existing research on teacher efficacy involving modern university educators is limited. We bridge this gap by exploring university educators’ perceived efficacy and the factors that influence those perceptions. We surveyed teachers from a national university in southern Taiwan using the Teacher Efficacy Scale and interviews about the source of efficacy beliefs. We obtained 74 survey responses and descriptive statistics and analysis of variance were performed. During the interviews, four qualitative data sets were collected, and we analyzed the data using a continuous comparison analysis method. Generally, participants had medium- to high-levels of perceived efficacy; however, levels differed by gender. Efficacy scores were also higher in course design, technology usage, and classroom management, compared to instructional strategies and learning assessments. The main sources of efficacy perception included mastery experience, role models, student-teacher relationship, professional growth, and student support. Our findings suggest several strategies for follow-up research to promote university educators’ sense of efficacy.

This article presents empirical research that aimed to determine the direction and strength of the relationships between emotional contagion and organisational identification. Our study examined the effect of aviation sector employees’ emotional contagion levels on organisational identification and the moderating role of career characteristics, such as age differences and seniority, in this effect. Data collected from 296 aviation employees were analyzed using SPSS 25 and SPSS Process Macro programs for determining moderating effects. The findings revealed that emotional contagion has a positive and significant effect on organisational identification. It has been determined that individuals’ age and seniority differences have a moderating role in the effect of emotional contagion on organisational identification. The fact that the scope of the research is a single sector and organisation hinders the findings’ generalizability. Additionally, the cross-sectional design limits the ability to explain the cause-and-effect relationships between psychological factors. The results proved that positive emotions affect individuals faster than negative emotions and are more effective on OI. Hence, the establishment of an organisational climate dominated by feelings of love and happiness and devoid of feelings of fear and anger is recommended for managers seeking to foster OI. By revealing the implicit relationships among the concepts with empirical evidence, we aim to fill a significant gap, particularly with respect to organisational psychology, and to represent new insights to scholars and practitioners.
本文提出了实证研究,旨在确定情绪传染和组织认同之间关系的方向和强度。我们的研究考察了航空业员工的情绪传染水平对组织认同的影响,以及年龄差异和资历等职业特征在这种影响中的调节作用。使用SPSS 25和SPSS Process Macro程序对296名航空员工的数据进行分析,以确定调节效果。研究结果表明,情绪传染对组织认同具有积极而显著的影响。已经确定,个体的年龄和资历差异在情绪传染对组织认同的影响中起着调节作用。研究范围是一个单一的部门和组织,这一事实阻碍了研究结果的可推广性。此外,横断面设计限制了解释心理因素之间因果关系的能力。结果证明,积极情绪对个体的影响比消极情绪更快,对OI更有效。因此,建议寻求培养OI的管理者建立一种以爱和幸福感为主、没有恐惧和愤怒感的组织氛围。通过用经验证据揭示概念之间的隐含关系,我们旨在填补一个重大空白,特别是在组织心理学方面,并为学者和从业者提供新的见解。
