Abstract This study aimed to explore the mediating roles of self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation on the relationship between teacher autonomy and teacher job satisfaction. Data were from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018), with a sample of 3131 junior high school teachers (female = 2337; male = 794) from Shanghai, China. The mediating effect was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that teacher autonomy was positively associated with teacher job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and intrinsic motivation. Both self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation were associated with teacher job satisfaction. Self-efficacy was associated with teacher intrinsic More >

Abstract This study constructed a moderated mediation model to examine how the social support received by teachers is associated with their work pay fairness perception in relation to their job satisfaction and job performance. Data were collected from 2411 preschool teachers in China (female = 98.01%; mean age = 29.12 years, SD = 6.28 years). These data were analyzed using structural equation modelling, bootstrapping and latent moderate structural equations. The results indicated that teachers’ perception of pay fairness is directly associated with self-rated job performance. Additionally, pay fairness perceptions have an indirect effect on higher job More >

Abstract Background: Employment can support the recovery of individuals with Severe Mental Disorders by promoting autonomy, reducing hospital admissions and associated costs, fostering social connections, and providing structure to their daily lives. The objective of this pilot study was to analyse job satisfaction and perceived social support in people with severe mental disorders who are users of an Employment Guidance and Support Service in southern Spain. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional pilot study was carried out with a sample of 39 workers with mental disorders from the province of Huelva (southern Spain) who were users of the… More >

Abstract Background: This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of the association between job satisfaction and stress or depressive symptoms of employed persons with disabilities (PWDs) based on the data from the 1st to 8th Pannel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED). Methods: After excluding missing values, data on 1614 participants at baseline (1st wave) were analyzed using the chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) model for data from 1st to 8thPSED. Results: It was found that for each one-unit increase in the job satisfaction score, the stress scale decreased by 0.004 (B: −0.004, 95% CI:… More >

Abstract The success of teachers in professional environments has a desirable influence on their mental condition. Simply said, teachers’ professional success plays a crucial role in improving their mental health. Due to the invaluable role of professional success in teachers’ mental health, personal and professional variables helping teachers succeed in their profession need to be uncovered. While the role of teachers’ personal qualities has been well researched, the function of professional variables has remained unknown. To address the existing gap, the current investigation measured the role of two professional variables, namely job satisfaction and loving pedagogy, More >

Abstract This study aimed to determine the association and predictive capacities of job satisfaction, workplace stress, work motivation, and self-esteem on state of mental health of caregivers of children with disabilities in South-West Nigeria. The self-determination theory provided a theoretical framework for the study. A closed-ended paper-pencil questionnaire tagged ‘Mental Healthiness Scale for Caregivers’ was used for data collection from 241 caregivers of children with disabilities. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive of frequency count, simple percentage and mean as well as inferential statistics involving Pearson product moment correlation and Binary Logistic Regression at 95% confidence More >

Abstract Introduction: Surgical trainees experience high rates of depression and suicidal ideation (SI). However, there remain a gap in knowledge on the drivers of depression and SI in trainees, especially within the field of urology.
Materials and methods: We conducted a national study of urology trainees using a 50-item questionnaire in May 2018. The survey included demographic, depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)), burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)), and quality of life (QoL) questions.
Results: Overall, 37 (17.6%) endorsed depression; 24 residents endorsed SI (11%). SI was higher in those with depression (p < 0.001). Burnout was also higher among… More >

Abstract Complexities in organizational and economical environments have lead psychologists, management scholars, and economists to investigate the multi-dimensional essence of job satisfaction. Unfortunately, existing studies are based on exact data, whereas relevant information is imperfect. To deal with imprecise and partially reliable information, Zadeh proposed the concept of a Z-number. In this paper we consider the Z-number valued rule based model to represent the relationship between job satisfaction and the facets/factors influencing job satisfaction. A real-world job satisfaction index evaluation problem is used to illustrate the suggested approach More >
