We examined the relationship of perceived parental psychological control (PPC) to aggression and whether this relationship could be accounted for by indirect effects through need satisfaction and motivation for revenge. In our mediation models with need satisfaction, perceived PPC consistently shows indirect effects on aggression via the relatedness component of need satisfaction in all models, but not via the autonomy and competence components. Further, in a mediation model with vengeance only, psychologically controlled children reported greater motivation for revenge, which then predicted more aggression. In path models with the three needs and vengeance added in the later step, indirect effects through first thwarted need satisfaction and vengeance are significant, and the indirect effect via relatedness is most consistently significant. The results suggest that perceived PPC thwarts need satisfaction and motivates people to yearn for revenge, which facilitates aggression. Our findings can shed light on the mechanisms through which PPC facilitates aggression.

Structurally relationship of variables is important in deeply analysis of path models, but the process of effect distribution must be concerned. In this situation, one or more variable would be a mediator variable which assessing effect of an independent to a dependent variable. We studied the simple mediation model that is one of path analytical models which contain of one independent variable, dependent variable and mediator variable. A necessary component of mediation is effectiveness that is a statistically significant indirect effect, formal significance tests of indirect effects are early conducted by Sobel (1982). According to sequential regression analysis on a simple mediation model, a mediator variable come after an independent variable exist in the model, the contribution of upcoming variable to the model could be obtained. We argue the importance of investigating empirical relationship between the significance of indirect effects and sequential contribution of mediator variable with a normal theory approach using Microsoft Excel simulation tools developed by Myerson (2000). We find that the higher contribution of mediator variable to the model, the more effectiveness is. This result comes up with three level correlation of independent and dependent variable which each 1000 times iteration that gives relatively immediate information about the recent empirical relationship between the significance of indirect effects and sequential contribution of mediator in the simple mediation models.

Abstract. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of employee strengths use with thriving at work by proposing a moderated mediation model. Data were collected at two time points, spaced by a 2-week interval. A total of 260 medical staff completed strengths use, perceived humble leadership, self-efficacy, and thriving scales. The results of path analysis showed that strengths use is positively related to thriving, and self-efficacy mediates the relationship of strengths use with thriving. In addition, this study also found perceived humble leadership to positively moderate the direct relationship of strengths use with self-efficacy and the indirect relationship of strengths use with thriving via self-efficacy. This study contributes to a better understanding of how and when strengths use affects thriving.

  The question that the research seeks to answer is the relationship of good supervisory administrative reports to achieving the goals of the organization, and helping managers to show the spirit of work interest in making their administrative decisions and taking those decisions away from their personal aims and interests. The scientific and applied importance of research appears in an attempt to shed light on the importance of internal control and its correct scientific and technical reports in developing and maximizing the benefit of the organization.   The researcher applies his hypotheses to the municipality of Al- Bireh- Palestine as an applied case and studies the monitoring reports from the beginning of 2013 until the beginning of 2020 and the violations that were shown or not shown by the supervisory reports in some of the decisions taken at the time and whether the weakness of these reports had a role in the growth and increase of violations and deviation from the regulations and the policies in place at the time or not. The research assumes in general that the more supervisory reports are prepared in a wrong way technically and administratively, with the knowledge or ignorance of the source of those reports, the more deviation the administration and its decisions are from the course, objectives, laws and policies set for this organization.

In recent years, the average age of workers has risen. Because of that, work ability is reducing in many sectors, especially in a public context. Given the above, it is necessary to investigate the individual and organisational resources that can play a role in the protection of work ability. This study investigates the work ability of administrative workers, examines selection, optimisation, and compensation (SOC) as a form of mediation between job control and work ability, and explores the relationship of job control, age, work ability, and SOC strategies via moderated mediation models. The findings indicate that job control, SOC strategies, and age correlate to work ability, but the effect of these factors is different. Job control and SOC strategies are positively related to work ability, and job control positively relates to the use of optimisation and compensation. However, only optimisation and compensation strategies mediate the association between job control and work ability. Finally, age moderates the effect of job control on work ability. The findings suggest that interventions, such as SOC training, promotion, and job control, may help to sustain work ability among elderly administrative workers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between perceived coaching behavior (autonomy-supportive and controlling), communication, coach–athlete relationship, and athlete burnout. The study participants comprised 347 Korean active collegiate athletes from 10 sports. The results of the final model indicated that autonomy-supportive coaching was positively related to communication, whereas controlling coaching was negatively related to communication. Communication was positively related to coach–athlete relationship and was negatively related to athlete burnout. Autonomy-supportive coaching was significantly related to both the coach–athlete relationship (positively) and athlete burnout (negatively), whereas controlling coaching was only related to athlete burnout (positively). Coach–athlete relationship was negatively related to athlete burnout. Significant indirect effects were observed. The bootstrapping results indicated that the relationship between autonomy-supportive and athlete burnout was mediated by team communication and the coach–athlete relationship. The study findings enhance our current understanding of the relationships between perceived coaching behavior and athlete burnout and shed light on the important roles of team communication and the coach–athlete relationship in the relationship.
