The objective of the present study is to empirically examine the effect of knowledge sharing and trust on psychological capital and emotional intelligence (EI). The study also investigates the relationship between psychological capital and EI on organizational excellence. The role of gender as a moderator is examined in these relationships. The survey data were collected from 792 faculty members from three premier higher educational institutions from the southern part of India. After checking the psychometric properties of the survey instrument, data were analysed using hierarchical regression. The results obtained demonstrate that (a) knowledge sharing is significantly and positively related to psychological capital and EI, (b) trust is significantly and positively related to psychological capital and EI, (c) psychological capital and EI are significantly and positively related to organizational excellence and (d) gender moderated the relationship between (a) knowledge sharing and psychological capital, (b) knowledge sharing and EI, (c) trust and psychological capital, and (d) trust and EI. The implications for management are discussed.

Faculty-entrepreneurs started their business using savings and personal money.  Over time, with an insufficient amount of capital and to maximize business operation, faculty-entrepreneurs incur debt. Findings on financial literacy, financial capability, financial management, and faculty's financial well-being were very low and negative. So far, there is a dearth of studies that have been conducted on financial leverage, particularly on the faculty who are engaged in business. Financial leverage refers to the source of business capital used in the form of equity and debt. The paper explored the level of financial leverage in terms of equity and debt of faculty of higher educational institutions when they are taken as a whole and grouped according to age, sex, and gross monthly business income. Likewise, it determined the difference in the level of financial leverage in terms of equity and debt when teachers are grouped according to the aforementioned demographics. Also, it explored the relationship between equity and debt.  Likewise, it determined the result of financial leverage in their investment practices.

Language assessment is widely discussed by specialists in applied linguistics and higher education. A growing body of literature has investigated the selection of appropriate scoring scales to be used in different teaching contexts. Given the significance of assessment in higher educational institutions, the article considers main approaches to testing language skills. It is explained that in the norm-referenced approach, students’ scores are shown in the relationship to other students in the group, university, or country. In the criterion-referenced approach, learners’ skills are assessed against a set of specific criteria. The article discusses the scoring scales for language assessment. Specifically, the holistic marking is based on the lecturers’ overall impression of the language assignment. University teachers assess language tasks analytically when they address each criterion separately. The article provides several recommendations for language teachers and increases awareness about the importance of developing marking scales for ensuring quality assessment in the university.

Introduction. The important factors affecting health and performance of young people are the conditions of education, in particular, a comfortable microclimate in the classrooms of higher educational institutions. Materials and methods. In view of the urgency of this problem, an analysis was made of the microclimate parameters of educational organizations of different profiles (Ufa city, the Republic of Bashkortostan). 294 classrooms were studied in 22 buildings of 4 leading universities in Ufa. A total of 3,822 measurements were taken to determine the parameters of the microclimate. The analysis of ionizing radiation in the aerial environment of classrooms. There was performed determination of radon and its affiliated products content. In order to assess the conditions and lifestyle of students of 4 higher educational institutions of the city of Ufa, we conducted an anonymous survey of 1,820 students of I and IV years of education. Results. The average temperature in the classrooms of all universities studied was 23.9±0.09 C. The average relative humidity in all classrooms was 34.2 ± 0.42%. Analysis of ionizing radiation (radon and its daughter products decay) in the aerial environment of the classrooms and sports halls located in the basement determined that the average annual equivalent equilibrium volumetric activity of the radon daughter products (EROA ± Δ222Rn) ranged from 28 ± 14 to 69 ± 34.5 meter, which meets the requirements established by SanPiN. Conclusion. The hygienic assessment of the microclimate parameters of educational institutions of various profile revealed a number of deviations from the regulated norms. The results indicate the need to control the parameters of the microclimate, both from the administration of universities, and from the professors. According to the results of the study, recommendations were prepared for the management of higher educational institutions in Ufa.
