Although prior literature has generally focused on the important role of customers' negative feedback in shaping employees' behaviour, these just mentioned the one-sided effect on the cognition or emotion of employees only briefly. However, previous studies has not provided an in-depth discussion of whether customers' negative feedback has both positive and negative effects. Based on the CAPS, we constructed a dual-path model of the impact of customers' negative feedback on job crafting via cognitive and affective paths, discussed the moderating effect of error management climate. A two-wave survey design is used to examine these assumptions with data collected from 392 front-line employees in various tourism and hospitality companies. As anticipated, we found that customers' negative feedback can play a double-edged sword role in each of the two paths, while error management climate moderated this dual-path mechanism. Overall, we conclude by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of our findings.

Neoliberal multiculturalism is a racialization process that works as a unifying discourse for the rationalization of neoliberal policies. Invoking state multiculturalism, e.g., “diversity” or “equity,” neoliberal multiculturalism is officially antiracist. Official antiracism portrays multiculturalism as being at its core while limiting discussions of race and racism to sanctioned racial discourses. We show how the ideology of neoliberal multiculturalism manifests in TNTP curriculum designed for NYC Teaching Fellows who teach students of color in lower-income urban public schools. We highlight three official antiracisms, namely, ethic of multiculturalism, categories of difference as legitimate knowledge, and controlling what counts as a race matter.

This study explored employees' green brand understanding in realizing green brand citizenship behavior. We propose a model, and data were gathered from 356 Wang Steak's employees in Taiwan. The findings proved the role of green brand understanding on enhancing green brand identification and green brand citizenship behavior. Regarding the effect of green brand identification on green brand love, the finding suggest that green brand identification positively impacts green brand love. In addition, the result identified employees' voluntary green brand behaviors via green brand identification and green brand love.

Teachers play a pivotal role in Blended learning (BL) implementation. However, there is limited literature on the impact factors of teacher acceptance and long-term willingness toward BL in the military college. To address this gap, this paper presents a conceptual model of teachers’ factors for BL-based instruction based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. Drawing from a sample of 103 teachers, this paper showed that effort expectation (EE), social influence (SI), self-efficacy (SE), and pleasure motivation (PM) have significant positive impacts on the adoption and long-term willingness of BL. In contrast, performance expectation (PE) seems to have limited appeal for teachers in terms of adopting and long-term willingness toward BL. The influence of Facilitate Conditions (FC) is considered insignificant. In the end, the paper concludes with research recommendations along six dimensions to improve policy on teachers’ adoption and long-term willingness to use

To improve students’ lack of creative thinking and innovative approaches,this paper proposes to improve the cultivation of innovation ability in higher education institutions by using TRIZ（Teoriya Resheniya Izobreatatelskikn Zadatch,Theory of the Solution og Inventive Problems） innovation theory.Incorporating the ideas of TRIZ theory in the teaching of theory,to provide students with abilities to identify problems, analyse problems and solve them creatively in their studies or works, and to solve problems encountered in the practical design process.Create the corresponding “design model library” for the proposed problem base，designing innovative teaching solutions to provide additional solutions to teaching implementation and conceptual design.The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the practicality of TRIZ theory in teaching can improve teaching effectiveness and innovative entrepreneurial thinking.

This study aimed to explore the immediate effects of smartphone-based social media use on table tennis performance variables such as reaction speed, stroke execution accuracy, and focus. A total of 14 young athletes, consisting of 7 males and 7 females (10.86 ± 1.83 years; 2.43 ± 0.65 years of experience in table tennis) participated in a randomized and counterbalanced quasi-experimental study divided into two groups: (a) social media group (SMG) and (b) table-tennis videos group (TTVG). The study assessed four variables: Stroop Test, reaction speed, a specific table tennis test, and focus (Toulouse-Piéron Test). The results indicated significant pre- and post-differences in hits, errors, and total points for both groups (p< .01), with no significant differences between groups in the three field tests. In conclusion, a 30-minute exposure to either game-related videos or social media stimuli in children led to improved scores, hits, and errors in the Stroop Test. These results suggest that acute exposure to virtual stimuli, regardless of type, enhances inhibitory control and attention abilities

This study explores the association between war, opium, and GDP per capita in Afghanistan during wartime (1978–2022). The war has had a positive impact on both opium cultivation and GDP per capita. A one-year war with an average of 16,777 battle deaths increases opium cultivation by 0.92% and GDP per capita by 1.04%. Similarly, external supporters are predicted to increase opium cultivation by 1.86% and GDP per capita by 0.28%. In addition, every 21 million population is estimated to increase the likelihood of opium cultivation by 9.66% and reduce the GDP per capita by 5.95%. Moreover, a 1% increase in each official development aid and liberal democracy index increases the GDP per capita by 0.62% and 0.49%, respectively. Arguably, the GDP per capita is predicted to rise by 0.78% for every 142,000 hectares of opium cultivation and to decrease by 0.25% for every 1% increase in the executive corruption index

Objective: to verify and compare the quality of life of informal caregivers of children during and after cancer treatment; to correlate quality of life with age and socioeconomic level of the family. Methods: eight caregivers of children who were undergoing cancer treatment participated, and eight caregivers of children after cancer treatment. For evaluation, WHOQOL-bref and Brazil Economic Classification Criteria (CCEB) were used. Results: there was no significant difference between the quality of life of groups I and II (p=0.550). Group II stood out in the social domain for presenting a good rate (76%) compared to group I (64.9% - regular rate). When correlating the caregivers’ quality of life and age, it was found that in group I, advancing age positively influenced the quality of life index (r = 0.813; p= 0.014). There was no correlation between socioeconomic classification and quality of life in group I (r= -0.497; p= 0.210) and in group II (r =-0.023; p= 0.956). Conclusion: informal caregivers have a regular quality of life index. The increasing age of caregivers of children in treatment had a positive influence on the quality of life index. The socioeconomic level did not interfere in the participants’ quality of life.

This paper analyzes the impact of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s strategy of appointing military officials to high-level positions in the federal executive branch on public opinion about the Armed Forces. Despite a rigorous recruitment process in the public bureaucracy, Bolsonaro navigated his government with support from ideologically extreme bureaucrats. The study investigates the systematic approach of increasing military personnel’s presence in the government and examines the hypothesis of declining trust in the Armed Forces and its positive association with mistrust in Brazilian democracy. The research draws on data from three waves of the Brazilian survey “A Cara da Democracia” to demonstrate that trust in the Armed Forces declined during Bolsonaro’s tenure. The data also indicates that dissatisfaction with Brazilian democracy is indicative of lower trust in the Armed Forces, and this relationship is growing stronger over time.

The over-all objective of this study is focused on gaining a deep, nuanced understanding of how senior high school students experience, express and apply their character strengths, with emphasis on how these strengths manifest in their lives, the role they play and the impact they have on their well-being and personal growth. Additionally, this research examined how senior high school students draw upon character strengths to cope with adversity and to explore the narratives of resilience and growth that emerge from these experiences.

Purpose: Women make essential contributions to the workforce in the United States but still hold a minority of senior leadership and chief executive officer positions in healthcare. The goal of this explanatory quantitative survey study was to measure the extent to which there are differences in the motivation to attain leadership positions between men and women. Methods: A stratified, random sample of 219 men and women employed in the healthcare industry were surveyed using the Motivation to Lead (MtL) questionnaire, a validated survey model that measures three leadership motivational factors. The data was analyzed using quantitative analysis. Principal Findings: Significant gender differences in motivation to lead were found in areas related to self-efficacy, prior leadership experience, and personality traits of extraversion and individualism. There were no significant gender differences in motivation to lead related to personality traits of collectivism, agreeableness, and emotional stability.

Our paper analyses commonly utilized team interventions and highlights where these remain applicable for hybrid teams. Drawing on interdependence theory, we argue that current team interventions tend to build high levels of task interdependence, encouraging ‘let’s collaborate ASAP’, which may contribute to an ‘always on’ culture. We then recommend novel interventions for hybrid teams focusing on goal and knowledge interdependence and embracing work uncertainties in Industry 4.0. These interventions come from Automation / artificial intelligence, Sociology, and Accounting, complementing those from organizational Psychology. We conclude that teams should still ‘collaborate ASAP’, but with interdisciplinary interventions rather than ‘always on’ urgency.

Abstract : Guerrilla war is regarded as one of the most prominent political events in Bolivia because it coincided with a period of uprisings and political and civil disturbances that accompanied the general dissatisfaction with the repressive government policies closely linked to the United States, which created an ideal environment for the Guerrilla movement, accordingly, Che Guevara decided to wage a Guerrilla war in Bolivia because he believed it was a region where he could achieve his aspirations by exporting the revolution to other parts of Latin America . This plan caused a reaction in United States circles accordingly, the American administration took various means to face the communist tide threat to maintain the balance of world powers on the one hand and to protect its strategic interests in Bolivia on the other .

The article is an original write up which emerged due to the recent upheavals in the Higher Education (HE) in India. In spite of the reforms and restructuring to pave the way for implementation of NEP 2020 in higher education, the HEIs in India are in news for all the wrong reasons. The suicide cases and subsequent cognizance of the same by the judiciary of India is a matter of grave concern. The declining well-being of the stakeholders involved in the affairs of Higher Education and apologetic state of affairs in admission, examination and teaching learning is placing India nowhere on the world map of Education. The article speaks about three missing points which needs to be addressed urgently. The first missing link talks about a dignified, eminent and visionary leader, the second is about the power struggle between the administration & the academia and third the students who becomes the guinea pig for all the trials and tortures that emerges as a result of continuous conflict, dissatisfaction and discontent. Finally, the paradoxes pertinent in Higher Education needs to be resolved at the supersonic speed with ultimate precisions if we as Indians wish to tell the world that we have the best education system of the world and there is no better place than India for educational tourism.

High school teachers’ understanding and recognition of the examination questions affect the quality of teaching. Three dimensions constitute the test acceptance: high school teachers’ recognition of the difficulty of the Chinese Mathematics College Entrance Examination, recognition of innovative question types and satisfaction of students’ answer questions. Through questionnaires and interview surveys, teachers’ recognition of the examination questions was analyzed comprehensively. There are significant differences in the recognition of test difficulty and innovative question types among teachers from different regions and different ages. Based on the connection between teaching and examination, this paper puts forward some discussions on mathematics teaching in senior high school and Chinese Mathematics College Entrance Examination questions.

The study sought to integrate prior empirical work examining educational inequities endemic to Michigan’s public education system and education influencers’ perception of school funding, including officials with responsibility and decision-making authority over school resources. With this phase of the work, specific tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the combination of CRT and Critical Policy Analysis (CPA), the empirical work focused on policy-level analysis to problematizing challenges associated with racial equity relative to public school finances. The degree to how education stakeholders perceive equity within Michigan’s school funding system. The survey results underline the disconnect between perception and reality.
