AbstractWe examined the role of task-, self- and other-approach achievement goals and enjoyment as antecedents of creative self-efficacy and the influence of creative self-efficacy on divergent thinking scores among children from Mexico. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires measuring achievement goals, creative self-efficacy, enjoyment and divergent thinking skills. We used Structural Equation Modelling to test our hypotheses, treating the variables as latent. Results showed a positive influence of other-approach achievement goals and enjoyment on creative self-efficacy. The influence of creative self-efficacy on divergent thinking scores was not significant. The implications of our results are discussed.

Abstract. This paper analyzes the relationship between self-efficacy, work support, family support, and life satisfaction and it also explores the mediating role of work-to-family enrichment and family-to-work enrichment. The participants (n = 568) were from different occupational groups including high technology organizations, hospitals, schools, factories, and government. The correlation analyses and structural equation modeling were performed to explore the relationship existing between the variables. It is found that there exists a positive relationship between self-efficacy, social support, and life satisfaction. Work family enrichment partially mediates the relationship between the studied antecedents and consequences. The work indicates that organizations need to consider ways to not only reduce conflict, but also increase enrichment, which will drive the main outcome variable of overall life satisfaction of the employees.

This paper, focusing on students of Islamic studies in public universities, was conducted to investigate the role of imaginational, intellectual, and emotional overexcitability in the creative Islamic personality. Also, the influence of self-efficacy and the creative environment on these three forms of overexcitability and the Islamic creative personality in public universities were examined. The sample comprised 396 Islamic students from 13 universities. The following instruments were used: the overexcitability (Imaginational, Intellectual, and Emotional) subscales, Creative Environmental Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, and Islamic Creative Personality Scale. The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results revealed the following: (1) Increases in intellectual and emotional overexcitability lead to the enhancement of the Islamic creative personality. (2) An enhancement in creative self-efficacy leads to the enhancement of the creative personality. (3) An enhancement in the creative environment leads to the enhancement of the Islamic creative personality. (4) Self-efficacy and the creative environment mediate the effects of intellectual and emotional overexcitability on the Islamic creative personality.  Keywords: Environmental Creativity, Overexcitability, Personal Creativity, Self-Efficacy.

This study aims to investigate the impact of parental career behaviors on undergraduate student’s career exploration and the mediating role of career self-efficacy. In the literature it is suggested that some social and individual factors facilitate students’ career exploration. Therefore, parental career behaviors and career self-efficacy is considered as predictors of student’s career exploration attitudes within the scope of the study. In this respect, data which are collected from 405 undergraduate students having an education on tourism and hotel management field by the survey method are analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The results of the study indicate that parental career behaviors which are addressed support; interference and lack of engagement have a significant effect on student’s career exploration behaviors such as intended-systematic exploration, environment exploration and self-exploration. In addition, it has been found that one of the dimensions of parental career behaviors addressed as a lack of engagement has a significant effect on career self-efficacy levels of students. However, research results indicate that student’s career self-efficacy has a significant effect on only the self-exploration dimension. On the other hand, career self-efficacy has a partial mediating role between lack of engagement attitudes of parents and career exploration behaviors of students.
