A conceptual model including conscious awareness, positive psychological capital, personality traits and entrepreneurial intention is suggested with the purpose of providing a deeper understanding on the premises of entrepreneurial intention. Data is gathered from students studying in North Cyprus universities for the purpose of testing the suggested model (n= 400). The gathered data is analysed with SPSS 23 and AMOS programmes. The findings of the analysis show that entrepreneurial intention is positively influenced by conscious awareness, positive psychological capital and personality traits. Moreover, it has been observed that positive psychological capital and personality traits play an intermediary role the effect of conscious awareness on entrepreneurial intention. The findings of the research can be of benefit for both researchers and practitioners. The present study not only provides information on entrepreneurial intention but also helps administrators to increase their awareness by presenting administrative recommendations.

The Covid-19 pandemic emerged amid the transformations created by technological advances in working life and has led to the peak of remote and hybrid working settings worldwide. The present study aims to focus on the mediating role of job satisfaction regarding the relation between remote working and life satisfaction. The sample of the study consists of 415 white-collar workers living in different regions of Turkey, with at least an undergraduate degree, and has remote-working experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. SmartPLS 3 package program was used in the analysis of the data. As a result, we found that only skill development and organizational support dimensions of the remote working attitude affect job and life satisfaction. Also, we found that job satisfaction has a partial mediating role between skill development and life satisfaction. However, in the case of the relationship between organizational support and life satisfaction, job satisfaction emerged as a full mediator.

The surrogacy phenomenon has existed since ancient biblical times in which the barren Sarrai offers her maid Hagar to her husband Abraham to have a child with her. This relationship formed between Hagar and Sarrai, created conflicts that exist to this day. This article was written as part of the doctoral thesis, and aims to present the nature of the relationship that exists between the Israeli intended mothers and the Israeli surrogates, the intended mothers who have chosen to apply for surrogacy outside the country’s borders, and examine the relationship between the surrogates who were all Israelis to the Israeli intend mothers. The subject was explored in sociological aspects, according to Symbolic interaction Theory, which is a sociological theory that was presented to the American sociology by George Herbert Mead at the 1920s. The method that was approach is the qualitative method. The present study comprised of 70 women residing in Israel. The women’s ages ranged between 22 and 64 (M = 36.59, SD = 8.53). The women were sampled from two different groups. The first group comprised of 34 intended mothers who underwent a surrogacy process (41.4%). The second group comprised of 36 surrogate mothers who have undergone a pregnancy for other couples (51.4%). Analysis of the content done on the data collected from the interviews revealed two main themes - Emotions and Values involved in the interaction between the intended mother’s and the surrogate. This study opens the door to a variety of emotions and values that involve and guide the interaction between the two groups of mothers and allows a rare glimpse into the depths of the souls of women who are unable to have a child and women who are willing to fulfill another woman’s dream and, thus, sometimes, their altruistic aspirations.

Special education teachers face various difficulties due to the uniqueness of their work, and these can impact their school culture. On the other hand, if given an opportunity or a resolution, like the Sociological Teachers Teaching Yoga (STETY) intervention program, this could increase the staffs’ sense of self-efficacy, thus affecting the school culture. This paper presents the findings of a research aiming to characterize teachers’ self-efficacy and school culture by participating in a group for a period of a ten-week yoga program. Qualitative research methods have been used for collecting and analyzing the data from 65 participants in total. The findings show that the Sociological Teachers Teaching Yoga (STETY) intervention program has impacted the participants’ self-efficacy and, therefore, the school culture.

Trust building depends both on therapeutic alliance construction and the quality of the intervention. Although trust-building has received much attention in the literature, there are hardly any validated tools to assess it. In order to cover this gap, the main goal of this work is to present a psychometric inventory for measuring both the skills for building a therapeutic alliance and the skills for intervention through a mediation process. 170 subjects, mediators and clients, voluntarily participated in the validation study. An advanced approach by means of psychometric networks was used to estimate and test the two-factor hypothesized model: 1) Skills for building a therapeutic alliance, and 2) Skills for the intervention in the mediation process. An Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA) with the Triangulated Maximally Filtered Graph (TMFG) was implemented for estimating the inventory latent network with all items. Further bootstrapping techniques were used for assessing the latent structure stability. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) over the best fitted EGA model was applied with a robust estimator (WLSMV). Reliability analyses for the best-fitted model were also implemented. Results indicated a stable and well-fitted two-factor latent network model, which was also confirmed by CFA: (2scaled = 216.84, df = 169, p = .008, RMSEA = .039, CFI = .986, TLI = .984). All reliability indices for the two-factor model obtained adequate values (above .80) and all items provided adequate psychometric behavior. This new inventory can be useful for developing improvement professional practice training programs, and also for enriching mediation-related higher education curricula.

The aim of research is to explore the perception of replacing the family welfare empowerment (Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga or PKK) to be a women’s cooperation based on community. The main activities in PKK focus on family health support such as vaccination for babies, saving turns (arisan) and any issues related to family care. The PKK has developed in the Indonesian community which changes the membership majority to women. The PKK is a unique organization, because it is not legalized but it is permitted by the government to be set among citizens. However, there is one of ten main PKK activities that develop cooperation. A cooperation can develop a member’s economy through a main business which is based on the member’s deals. It is important to have some grounding in what social capital is, and how online social capital is both similar and different from it. In both instances, social capital involves social networks, with online social capital having the added dimension of residing within the structural ecosystem of digital networks.

Although the concept of remote working is not new, and it has been in use for a while, billions of people and workplaces were caught in surprise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to full-scale lockdowns people got stuck with their family members. And in a very short time they were expected to set up home-offices and continue working. Balancing family relations with daily work schedule was hard for many. Drawing on a sample of instructors, this study investigates how people felt and dealt with it. Homogeneous purposive sampling technique was employed. The authors contacted with people from their network and asked them to fill in the online questionnaires. The people contacted also help to reach others in their network and consequently a total of 435 people participated. Most of the sample is comprised of university instructors (44.4%); followed by secondary school (22.8%), primary school (18.6%), and high school teachers (14.3%). We developed a theoretical model based on boundary theory and study the relationships among eWork-Life interferences with technostress and psychological well-being. The results supported our hypotheses and we found that timely IT assistance might decrease the felt technostress. Implications and further study suggestions are made accordingly.

The aim of this article is to describe and discuss the key challenges of social and healthcare services in Slovakia, focusing on the Integrative Elderly Care Model as part of a changing welfare state. It also examines the opportunities and challenges related to the transformation of community-based social and healthcare services. The Slovak welfare state has undergone several revisions during the last decade; so too has the elderly care sector, which is a combination of public and non-government organisations. Elderly citizens, however, remain in a precarious situation. The trend toward marketisation and re-familiarisation of elderly care ‘go towards the EU average’, indicating an increase in public social expenditure directed towards aging.

Objectives of this study are to investigate the effect of workload on turnover intention and burnout and the mediating role of burnout in the effect of workload on leaving.COVID-19 pandemic leads to highly challenging work conditions for healthcare workers including nurses who mostly work at the front-line accompanying patients. This research was conducted in a private hospital with a Joint Commission International (JCI) certificate in Istanbul of Turkey between January and March 2021. 247 nurses comprising 91% of the nurse population in the hospital have been included. Workload had positive effect on burnout (β=0.51, 95% CI [0.287, 0.441]) and turnover intention of nurses (β=0.31, 95% CI [0.322, 0.603]). Burnout had a positive effect on turnover intention (β=0.54, 95% CI [0.932, 1.32]) and a mediating role in the effect of workload on turnover intention (β=0.41, 95% CI [0.302, 0.530]).Our finding indicated that increased workload is associated with increased levels of burnout and turnover intention of nurses. Furthermore, burnout has a positive effect on mediating the turnover intention.

Research on leadership has been a fascinating area among Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management researchers for the impact leaders make. The study adopted a qualitative case study method and conducted interviews with 26 managers from the top, middle, and lower management levels of BRAC. However, there was a cluster of behaviors and traits displayed across the levels, and we termed it as an inspirational style of leadership. We have also identified four dimensions of NGO success as perceived by the leaders: work orientation, culture and governance, operational aspect, and HR practices. The First findings, of this study, identify a unique leadership style i.e., inspirational leadership style. Second, it identifies the specific leadership attributes that exist in a successful NGO. Third, it provides glimpses into the organizational structure and governance of a successful NGO. Fourth, the NGO effectiveness parameters developed that can be used and validated as a measurement tool by quantitative researchers.
