Researchers widely explored non-intellective study factors because they play a central role in academic performance and are potentially more modifiable than intellective ones. The scientific literature suggests that the non-intellective factors can be classified into three main areas: self-concept, which refers to self-esteem and efficacy, motivation and emotional reactions; the area of study, related to study dedication and operative skills; and the area of relationships, comprising those with family, fellow students and teachers. Basing on these findings, the C-Comp Scale has been developed and tested in the past, addressed to college students. This study aimed to adapt and test a new version of this questionnaire on high school students. Methods. A pilot study was conducted on 364 Italian high school students to adapt and test the new version of the questionnaire, called the H-Comp Scale. The following study, conducted on 792 Italian high school students, provided further evidence of its reliability, structural validity, and concurrent validity with general self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, and academic performance. Results. The H-Comp Scale showed to possess excellent reliability and structural and concurrent validity. The final version is composed of twelve subscales, aggregated in three areas, with just 48 items: Study (Intrinsic Motivation, Extrinsic Motivation, Time Management, Study Dedication), Self (Learning Assessment, General Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy, Reaction to Failures, Emotional Control), and Relationships (Family Relationships, Fellow Student Relationships, Teacher Relationships). Conclusions. The H-Comp Scale would be a useful and easy-to-use instrument to support school counselors, tutors, teachers, and researchers in exploring different types of non-intellective variables, to better project educational intervention aimed to improve high school students’ academic performance and satisfaction.

AbstractThe high rate of job loss in most crude oil dependent countries, which may be attributed to the recent drop in the price of this commodity in international markets, has intensified the perception of threats associated with potential job loss among the employees who are still employed. Hence, perceived job insecurity, its associated outcome, coupled with how it can be mitigated has become a global phenomenon, which requires the attention of managers and practitioners alike. In this work, we built upon Hobfall’s conservation of resource theory (CRT) to present a research model that links employee’s self-efficacy and gender to the strength or weakness of the relationship between self-esteem and self-perceived job insecurity. Research data were collected from 153 randomly selected Nigerian Bank employees out of 217 drawn from a total population of 509. Based on the results from relevant statistical analysis, it is discovered that, while increase in self-esteem would lead to a significant decrease in job insecurity perception, such significant decrease is, however, not associated with self-efficacy and gender meaning that these variables are not moderators in the self-esteem/perceived job insecurity relationship. In line with these outcomes, we conclude by recommending that managers should focus on developing intervention strategies aimed at improving employee self-esteem with a view of reducing perceived job insecurity. In addition, important areas in need of future research were also identified.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh locus of control, self efficacydan self esteem terhadap kinerja perawat pada RSUD Hasanuddin Damrah Manna.Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 162 orang perawat yang bekerja pada RSUDHasanuddin Damrah Manna dan telah menjadi PNS, karena semua populasi dalampenelitian ini dijadikan sampel, maka metode pengambilan sampel dengan carasensus. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Teknik analisis yangdigunakan adalah regresi linier berganda, koefesien determinasi dan pengujianhipotesis.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari perhitungan persamaan regresi linierberganda dapat diketahui bahwa X1 (Locus of control), X2 (Self Efficacy) dan X3(Self Esteem) mempunyai pengaruh terhadap Kinerja (Y), dengan hasil uji regresi: Y = 10,422 + 0,172X1+0,257X2 + 0,335 X3. Nilai koefesien determinasi sebesardari R square yaitu sebesar sebesar 0324. Hal ini berarti bahwa X1 (Locus ofcontrol), X2 (Self Efficacy ) dan X3 (Self Esteem) berpengaruh terhadap Kinerja (Y) sebesar 32,4 % sedangkan sisanya 67,6% dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktorpenyebab lainnya yang tidak diteliti dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan hasilpengujian dengan uji t, hipotesis yang dibuat membuktikan ada pengaruh. VariabelX1 (Locus of control), X2 (Self Efficacy ) dan X3 (Self Esteem) menunjukkan nilaithitung lebih besar dari ttabel dan nilai signifikansi lebih kecil dari 0,05. Artinya X1(Locus of control), X2 (Self Efficacy ) dan X3 (Self Esteem), memiliki pengaruhyang positif dan signifikan secara partial terhadap kinerja (Y) perawat pada RSUDHasanuddin Damrah Manna. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian hipotesis dengan uji F,nilai Fhitung > Ftabel (25,221 > 3,05) dan nilai signifikan sebesar 0,000 < 0,05 artinyaterdapat pengaruh secara simultan dari X1 (Locus of control), X2 (Self Efficacy )dan X3 (Self Esteem), terhadap kinerja (Y) perawat pada RSUD HasanuddinDamrah MannaKata Kunci : Kinerja Perawat, Locus of control, Self Efficacy, Self Esteem

Goal-setting is an essential tool to improve individual and organizational performance. The study about goal-setting has been done immensely in the past century. However, research on goal-setting is rarely conducted in Indonesia's Public sector, especially in Customs and Excise work environment. A survey of Indonesian Customs is carried out to examine the correlation between individual variables that are self-esteem, work locus of control, self-efficacy, supervisor's support, anticipated reward, and other organizational support with employee goal level selection. 45 merchandise goods-related document analysts and goods inspectors are included in the survey, where a small experiment is administered by asking the respondent to set their target independently. Using the Spearman correlation analysis, the result indicated that only work locus of control has a significant negative association with goal-level selection, particularly promotion and job acquisition subscales. Self-esteem and self-efficacy are found not significantly correlated with goal-level selection, and so are support from supervisors, office environment, and monetary reward.
