The Relationship

The association between students’ academic identity and their academic outcomes has been well-established. The importance of a positive school climate has also been widely documented. However, Black males experience factors that uniquely and collectively comprise their school climate. As such, the purpose of this study was to test the extent to which school climate mediated the relationships between math academic identity and math outcomes of Black males. Bootstrapping mediation analyses were conducted in a sample of students in the 11th grade ( n = 1,106) using data from the High School Longitudinal Study. Results indicated that students’ math identity was positively associated with math scores. Moreover, partial mediation was established, demonstrating that school climate partially explained the relationship between math identity and student outcomes. Implications of these findings for school administrators, teachers, and counselors are discussed.

The Relationship

We examined whether the extent of perceived variability (i.e., consensus) among group members’ shared leadership ratings polarize group performances. Through using data from 39 classes in school settings, we explored the relationship between students’ shared leadership behavior and group performance as moderated by the extent of variability among group members’ shared leadership ratings. Study results, based on hierarchical multiple regression analyses, were consistent with the hypothesized conceptual scheme of moderation in that the slope of the relationship between shared leadership and group performance was stronger (and positive) for classes with high consensus than ones with low consensus. This indicates consensus among group members’ shared leadership ratings polarizing group performance.

The Relationship

In recent decades, police organizations have encountered difficulty in maintaining employees; a large number of police officers are leaving the service early. Using data collected from three police colleges in three different provinces in China, this study examines the mechanism of cadets’ career plan or turnover intention. Specifically, the test of a mediating mechanism in this study demonstrates the extent to which satisfaction mediates the relationship between distal factors and career plans among police cadets. Besides, the test of a moderating mechanism focuses on the possibility that the predictors differ in the relationship with cadets’ career plans by the degree of satisfaction. This study results found that satisfaction had no mediating effect. Instead, results showed that police cadets’ satisfaction is a strong moderator in the link between predictors and their career plans. Implications for recruitment, training, and retention strategies, as well as avenues for future research, are then discussed.

Failure Factors

Construction partnering is commonly touted as a win-win arrangement for project owners and contractors alike. The failure or success of construction partnering arrangements is contingent upon a multitude of influences, many of which can be controlled through careful planning and active project management. This study examines the key failure factors (KFFs) of construction partnering projects based on data collected from a survey of industry professionals in Taiwan. Methods: Factor analysis is performed using data gathered from a survey of industry practitioners operating in Taiwan to identify KFFs and better understand the level of significance of each factor. A total of 15 failure variables (FV) were included in the survey. This study applied Principle Components Analysis to classify groups of crucial FV relevant to construction partnering based on their relative perceived contribution to project failure. Study results confirm that there are four KFFs to partnering failure in construction projects; they are absence of agility, collaboration barriers, partnering barriers, and organizational management barriers. The biggest influencer on partnership failure in construction projects is the association between absence of agility and organizational management barriers, while the next most significant is the relationship between collaboration barriers and partnering barriers. Avoiding failure of construction partnering requires careful planning and management considerations of the four KFFs found.

Abstrak. Salah satu bentuk perilaku yang dapat menurunkan school well being dan membuat iklim sekolah menjadi tidak menyenangkan adalah perundungan. Studi literatur menunjukkan bahwa selain perundungan, place attachment terhadap sekolah ternyata juga mempengaruhi school well being. Peneliti mengajukan hipotesis bahwa place attachment berperan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara perundungan dan school well being. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada 133 orang mahasiswa tingkat pertama dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang mengadaptasi alat ukur school well-being dan place attachment. Selain itu ditanyakan pula pengalaman perundungan responden saat di SMA. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa place attachment berperan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan antara perundungan dengan school well-being; semakin tinggi place attachment maka semakin kuat hubungan negatif antara perundungan dengan school well-being. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa place attachment dapat menjadi penangkal terhadap perundungan. Bagi siswa yang memiliki ikatan dan identifikasi diri yang kuat terhadap sekolah, maka perundungan yang terjadi tidak menurunkan school well-beingnya. Mereka akan tetap merasa nyaman bersekolah walaupun perundungan masih terjadi.Kata kunci: Perundungan, Place Attachment, School Well-being, ModeratorAbstract. One form of behavior that can reduce school well-being and make unpleasant school climate is bullying. Literature studies shows, that besides bullying, place attachment to school also affects school well being. The researcher hypothesized that place attachment acts as a moderator in the relationship between bullying and school well being. Data collection was conducted on 133 first-degree students using a questionnaire adapting the school well-being and place attachment questionnaire. In addition, the questionnaire also asked about respondents' bullying experience when in high school. The results show that place attachment acts as a moderator in the relationship between bullying with school well-being: Higher  place attachment will act as a buffer on bullying.  Students who have strong bonds and identify themself strongly with their schools, their school well-being will not be harmed by bullying. This suggests that students with high place attachment can remain comfortable and happy in school, even though bullying still occurs in their schools.Keywords: Bullying, Moderation, Place Attachment, School Well-being

Pregnant adolescents are a population at risk for dropout and have been found to complete fewer years of education than peers. Pregnant girls’ social experience in school may be a factor in their likelihood to persist, as social integration is thought to buffer dropout risk. Pregnant teens have been found to have fewer friends than their peers, but the academic ramifications of these social differences have yet to be studied. In this study the author examines whether friendship networks are associated with the relationship between adolescent pregnancy and educational attainment. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and multilevel models, the author specifically explores associations between high school graduation and reported friendships, friendship reciprocation, and network centrality. Having more friends and greater centrality in one’s school prior to pregnancy are associated with reduced risk for high school dropout compared with more socially isolated pregnant teens.

The Relationship

Black males face pressures to adopt dominant social roles in relationships based on expectations from family, peers, and teachers. Many stereotypes define their perceived masculinities in coeducational schools, such as different definitions of masculinity received from peers and adults. Enrollment in all-male, majority-Black schools changes nothing. This article discusses how Black males who attend the Pebbles School—an urban all-male public combined middle and high school—constructed, perceived, and negotiated their masculine identities and perceptions of brotherhood. The relationship between masculinity and brotherhood and the intersection of gender and ethnic studies draw upon studies in Progressive Black Masculinity to challenge restrictive definitions of masculinity constructions shared among some Black males, who tend to view masculinity exclusively through a heterosexual lens, which limits discussions of diversity in brotherhood and sexual orientation.
