Purpose Research about the benefit of voice to organizations generally assumes that leaders acknowledge or act upon employees’ ideas when they are voiced, but is it always the case? Drawing on social persuasion theory, the purpose of this paper is to explore what factors shape the effectiveness of employee voice by integrating message, receiver and source characteristics of employee voice into one theoretical model. Specifically, this paper investigates the influence of different types of voice on leader receptivity, and further examines whether the effectiveness of employee voice might be contingent on authentic leadership and employee expertise. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 353 matched employee–supervisor pairs in a two-phase field study. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships among the study variables. Findings Results indicate that leaders respond more receptively to promotive voice than prohibitive voice. Furthermore, leader receptivity is contingent on authentic leadership and employee expertise. The relationship between promotive voice and leader receptivity is more pronounced when employee expertise or authentic leadership is high rather than low; the relationship between prohibitive voice and leader receptivity is significant only when authentic leadership or employee expertise is high. Originality/value This research offers a more holistic explanation for understanding the effectiveness of voice behavior. Specifically, these findings emphasize the important role of voice content in determining managerial response, and underscore the value of receiver and source characteristics in shaping the relationship between voice and leader receptivity.

Research found that self-efficacy has an important role in the development of students’ career cognitive skills. Besides, there still needs further research in self-efficacy, particularly in career readiness. The authors conduct this continuing study is to determine the effect of understanding perceived self-efficacy on student’s awareness in career readiness (mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and emotional arousal). Data collected using a self-report of the Self-Efficacy Scale in Career Readiness (SESCR), semi-structured interview, and observation of student’s behavior between both participants with the high and low level of self-efficacy. In the current study, 100 students involved based on their convenience. Results showed that 66% of participants have a high mastery experience, 69% with high vicarious experience, 76% have a high percentage in social persuasion, and 70% have a high level of emotional arousal to understanding their career readiness. The results also showed perceived self-efficacy predicts student’s awareness of career readiness based on gender.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a percepção de autoeficácia em professores do Ensino Superior e avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Autoeficácia para Professores do Ensino Superior para o contexto brasileiro. Participaram deste estudo 188 professores do Ensino Superior de instituições da rede privada de Minas Gerais. Os professores lecionavam nas áreas da Educação Física, Nutrição, Ciências Biológicas, Geografia, Fisioterapia, Medicina, Análise de Sistemas, Enfermagem, Turismo e Pedagogia. A amostra foi composta por 61,5% de professores do sexo masculino. Em relação à formação, foi predominante a participação de professores com especialização Lato Sensu (52,9%). Todos os professores responderam a Escala de Autoeficácia para Docentes do Ensino Superior-EADES. Os resultados mostraram que a escala está adequada para a avaliação da autoeficácia em professores (α=0,92). Em relação ao quanto os professores se sentem capazes de realizar suas tarefas docentes, foram verificados valores médios entre 5,01 e 5,65, o que representa um alto valor de percepção de autoeficácia pelos professores. Conclui-se que os principais fatores responsáveis pela autoeficácia dos professores são a Satisfação, a Persuasão Social e as Experiências Pregressas. Estes aspectos fornecem uma importante sugestão sobre as possibilidades de exploração destes fatores no que diz respeito às futuras aquisições, programas de formação e pesquisas futuras. Palavras-chave: Validação.

A total of 188 higher education teachers from institutions of the private network of Minas Gerais participated in this study. Teachers taught in the areas of Physical Education, Nutrition, Biological Sciences, Geography, Physiotherapy, Medicine, Systems Analysis, Nursing, Tourism and Pedagogy. The sample consisted of 61.5% male teachers. All teachers answered the Self-Efficacy Scale for Teachers of Higher Education-EADES. Lato Sensu teachers (52.9%), followed by master teachers (34.8%), doctors (9.6%) and graduates (2.7%) predominated. The results showed that the scale is adequate for the evaluation of self-efficacy in teachers (α=0.92). In relation to how much teachers feel capable of performing their teaching tasks, mean values between 5.01 and 5.65 were verified, which represents a high value of self-efficacy perception among teachers. It is concluded that the main factors responsible for teachers' self-efficacy are satisfaction, social persuasion and previous experiences. These aspects provide an important suggestion about the possibilities of exploring these factors with regard to future acquisitions, training programs and future research. Keywords: Validation.

A widespread culture supporting public engagement activities in higher education is desirable but difficult to establish. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this science communication project aimed to enhance culture change in engineering by developing communication skillsets of early-career engineers, particularly supporting female engineers as role models. Engineers received training in storytelling to present at live events, enhanced by peer group social persuasion and vicarious modeling. A science communication coordinator and senior management endorsement removed barriers to participation. Evaluation showed engineers’ self-efficacy levels significantly increased. Qualitative data highlighted a developing culture of engagement but purposive selection of women proved controversial.

The aim of the study was to adjust the measurement model of an instrument of sources of Self-efficacy for Mathematics to sample of university students from Northeast of Mexico and the sex measurement invariance. A second-order modeling was performed, which shows convergent and discriminant validity, which corresponds to the original Bandura theory of self-efficacy and contains four factors: experience in mastery, social persuasion, vicarious learning, and physiological state (emotional activation). There was adequate goodness of fit of the model in the confirmatory analysis. The advantages of the use of this instrument are discussed for its simplicity and ease of applications, qualification, and interpretation, to be used by teachers, tutors, and advisors of mathematics.

This present work analyses the western democracies’ dependence on the mass media that isconcentrated in a few wealthy hands and therefore the development of media mechanisms of social persuasion and control. This analysis proposes that, with television occupying the central role, there is an imposition of a repetitive and omnipresent mass culture that foments automatic reactions and behaviour patterns, turning the message into a reality show full of emotional and dramatic meaning that depends on a single thought that is guided by economic market criteria. Faced with such a panorama the possibility arises of the development of a truly democratic and participatory society that could serve as a means of education and knowledge within the global village.Los que nos dedicamos a la educación, en alguna ocasión hemos utilizado la televisión como recurso curricular. Sin embargo, ¿la televisión es usada realmente como medio de conocimiento, o por el contrario, se ha formulado un sofisticado instrumento de persuasión y control social? No hace mucho tiempo un escritor proponía «algo inaudito»: repensar la democracia, refiriéndose simplemente al hecho de hacer nuestros sistemas políticos parlamentarios más participativos. En esta reflexión, surgían dudas sobre el papel de los medios de comunicación y más concretamente de la televisión, lo cual generaba algunas cuestiones importantes a resolver. Estos interrogantes ya se debatían por autores como Noam Chomsky quien se preguntaba por el tipo de mundo y de sociedad en la que queremos vivir, y qué modelo de democracia queremos para esta sociedad. De este modo, se optaba por la construcción de una senda en la que la participación significativa de los ciudadanos en la gestión de sus asuntos particulares fuera imprescindible junto al desarrollo de unos medios de información libres e imparciales. Sin embargo, ya hace décadas que muchos predecían preocupados el advenimiento de otro tipo de democracia que parecía imponerse, basada en el control rígido de los medios. Este control simplemente tendía a reflejar las concepciones de los grupos dominantes de la sociedad. De este modo, en nuestros modelos políticos occidentales se ha generado no una censura directa, sino una dependencia hacia la estructura de la propiedad de los medios, concentrada en pocas y ricas manos. No obstante, y aquí radica uno de los problemas fundamentales de esta comunicación, es esta estructura empresarial la que incide directamente en lo que llamamos: persuasión. La sociedad del siglo XXI está sutilmente instruida sobre qué es lo que hay que ver, oír y pensar, ya que tras las funciones tradicionales de los medios (formar, informar y entretener) existe todo un control social que intenta legitimar el sistema. Ya hace décadas, la Escuela de Frankfurt, proyectada en la figura de Adorno, definía este panorama incidiendo en el poder absoluto de los medios. Un poder que generaría una cultura contemporánea de masas repetitiva y omnipresente que tendería a desarrollar reacciones automizadas y debilitarían la fuerza de resistencia individual. Pero Adorno no se quedaba en este paradigma, el escritor agregaba que la gente no sólo perdería su capacidad para ver la realidad tal como es, sino que también perdería su capacidad para experimentar la vida, convirtiéndose en ciudadanos cretinizados, deshumanizados y caprichosos. Si aceptamos esta sociología de los medios que cada vez parece hacerse más explícita en la sociedad postindustrial, tendríamos que plantear si en ese control social interviene no sólo la mediación política, sino también la mediación periodística. Si fuera así, estaríamos ante lo que se ha denominado «democracia mediada» o «democracia mediatizada». Sea como fuere, lo cierto es que hoy, la información audiovisual, sobre toda la de la televisión,convierte el mensaje en «un espectáculo de la realidad», llena de sentido dramático o de impacto-publicitario emocional, creando un producto vendible, consumible que está regido totalmente por criterios económicos de mercado. La cuestión fundamental de esta comunicación es preguntarnos: ¿es posible una televisión libre e independiente que fundamente el desarrollo de una sociedad verdaderamente democrática participativa y sirva como vía educativa y medio de conocimiento en la «aldea global»?

<span>This study examined the relationship between mathematics achievement and mathematics problem-solving efficacy sources. A cluster sample of 123 first year prospective teachers of a Philippine higher education institution responded to a 30-item problem-solving efficacy scales and took the teacher-made tests in Mathematics in the Modern World course; namely, Non-Routine Problem Solving and Natures and Numbers Pattern Tracing (NRPS-NNPT), Math Language and Symbols (MLS), and Data Management (DM). The research data was analyzed using Descriptive statistics, Pearson-r and Standard Multiple Regression. On the average, the respondents had satisfactory mathematics achievement. They reported a high level of social persuasion and somatic response and a low level of vicarious experience and mastery experience in mathematics problem-solving. Vicarious experience was directly associated with mastery experience while social persuasion and mastery experience were both inversely related to somatic responses. Among the four problem-solving efficacy sources, only social persuasion significantly predicted mathematics achievement specifically in the areas of NRPS-NNPT, MLS, and DM. Thus, becoming a trusted voice of encouragement and designing a persuasive and optimistic learning environment are highly recommended roles of schools to facilitate students’ mathematics achievement.</span>
