ZusammenfassungFür viele angehende Lehrkräfte stellt der Einstieg in den Lehrer/innenberuf ein normativ-kritisches Lebensereignis dar, das mit einer erhöhten Beanspruchung einhergehen kann. Um diesen Einstieg – unter anderem hinsichtlich des Beanspruchungserlebens – zu erleichtern, wurde in Deutschland flächendeckend das Praxissemester in das Lehramtsstudium eingeführt, in dem Studierende bei ihren Unterrichtsversuchen von erfahrenen Mentor/innen begleitet werden. Anders als beabsichtigt scheint das Mentoring im Praxissemester aber nicht ausschließlich beanspruchungsabpuffernde Effekte zu haben, sondern ebenfalls beanspruchungsinduzierend wirken zu können. Um diesen differentiellen Effekt des Mentorings aufzuklären, wird im Kontext der allgemeinen Belastungs- und Beanspruchungsmodelle für den Lehrer/innenberuf und aus der Perspektive der Selbstbestimmungstheorie angenommen, dass die Beziehungsform zwischen Mentees und Mentor/innen, wie sie sich unter anderem im transmissiven und konstruktivistischen Mentoring zeigt, einen Effekt auf die positiven und negativen Beanspruchungsreaktionen der Mentees hat, der über die wahrgenommene Basic-Need-Satisfaction vermittelt wird. Zur Untersuchung dieser Annahme wurden 177 Lehramtsstudierende im Praxissemester zu zwei Messzeitpunkten gebeten, sowohl ihre negativen Beanspruchungsreaktionen in Form ihrer emotionalen Erschöpfung als auch ihre positiven Beanspruchungsreaktionen in Form des beruflichen Enthusiasmus einzuschätzen. Außerdem wurde die Basic-Need-Satisfaction der angehenden Lehrkräfte zu beiden Messzeitpunkten sowie das transmissive und konstruktivistische Mentoring aus der Perspektive der Mentees zum zweiten Messzeitpunkt erfasst. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen den angenommenen Mediationseffekt teilweise. So vermittelt zwar die Veränderung der Basic-Need-Satisfaction den Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Mentoringformen und der Veränderung des beruflichen Enthusiasmus vollständig, allerdings zeigt die Veränderung der Basic-Need-Satisfaction keinen Effekt auf die Veränderung der emotionalen Erschöpfung, die ihrerseits jedoch direkt durch das konstruktivistische und transmissive Mentoring vorhergesagt wird.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to report a study in which central propositions from the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory and self-determination theory (SDT) are used to examine the antecedents of performance during practical internships. The central hypothesis of this study was that job resources foster performance through basic need satisfaction and work engagement (sequential mediation).Design/methodology/approachAn empirical multi-source study among Dutch interns and their supervisors in various occupational sectors. The interns reported their level of resources, basic needs satisfaction and work engagement, whereas supervisors rated interns’ task performance (n=1,188 unique supervisor–intern dyads).FindingsThis study integrates insights of the JD-R theory – by examining the relations between job resources, work engagement and performance – with a central premise of the SDT – which maintains that basic need satisfaction is the fundamental process through which employees’ optimal functioning can be understood. The outcomes of the path analyses revealed that satisfaction of needs indeed accounted for the relationship between job resources and work engagement as supposed in the SDT (Deci and Ryan, 2000). Further, the sequential mediated relation between job resources and performance through basic need satisfaction and work engagement corroborates the JD-R theory (Bakker and Demerouti, 2014).Originality/valueAs far as the authors know, this is the first study that examined the sequential mediation from job resources to performance via basic need satisfaction and work engagement, among a large sample of intern–supervisor dyads, including the objective performance rating of their (internship) supervisors.

Based on a study of 132 elementary school students in grade IV-VI found that there is significant parental structure effect on basic need satisfaction (R2 = 0,277, F = 49,704, and ρ = 0,000). Parental structure also has a significant influence on the three components of basic need satisfaction, namely need for autonomy (ρ = 0,000, F = 22,495), need for competence (ρ = 0,000, F = 45,106) and need for relatedness (ρ = 0,000, F = 21,091). Suggestions for research that will conduct further research are expected to undertake research on the influence of parental structures on basic need satisfaction using a wider coverage of respondents. In addition, the researcher proposes to the school to make a psychoeducation program with material related to the role of parental structures on the basic needs of satisfaction.

The role of perceived need support from exercise professionals in improving mental health was examined in a sample of older adults, thereby validating the short Health Care Climate Questionnaire. A total of 491 older people (M = 72.68 years; SD = 5.47) attending a health exercise program participated in this study. Cronbach’s alpha was found to be high (α = .90). Satisfaction with the exercise professional correlated moderately with the short Health Care Climate Questionnaire mean value (r = .38; p < .01). The mediator analyses yielded support for the self-determination theory process model in older adults by showing both basic need satisfaction and frustration as mediating variables between perceived autonomy support and depressive symptoms. The short Health Care Climate Questionnaire is an economical instrument for assessing basic need satisfaction provided by the exercise therapist from the participant’s perspective. Furthermore, this cross-sectional study supported the link from coaching style to the satisfaction/frustration of basic psychological needs, which in turn, predicted mental health. Analyses of criterion validity suggest a revision of the construct by integrating need frustration.

AbstractMaslow's (1954) theory of a hierarchy of human needs has generated little research, perhaps because of the lack of specific, concrete operationalisation of concepts such as ‘psychological well-being’ and basic need satisfaction. The Need Satisfaction Inventory (NSI: Lester, 1990) was developed to measure basic need satisfaction and 157 undergraduate subjects completed both it and the Beck Depression (BDI) and Anxiety Inventories (BAI), as well as Spielberger's (1986) Anger-Expression questionnaire (AX). The latter three questionnaires represent an operationalisation of Spielberger, Ritterband, Sydeman, Reheiserdc Unger's (1995) notion that emotions act as indicators of psychological well-being. The hypothesis that scores on the NSI would be significantly correlated with the BDI, BAI, and AX was supported. Ss also completed the Richins and Dawson (1992) materialism index, and it was hypothesised that if hoarding material goods does in fact represent compensatory neurotic behaviour, then materialism would also be negatively correlated with the NSI. The hypothesis was confirmed, providing further evidence for Maslow's (1970) theory that basic need satisfaction is associated with psychological health. However, in the absence of norms for the NSI, there was no conclusive evidence to suggest that basic needs reside in a consistent, and strict global hierarchy.
