Motivation To Transfer

Transfer of training has turned out to be a major issue for the banking industry and the desire of successful transferability of training content can be actualized by motivating the trainees to transfer their learned skills. Therefore, this study highlighted the less studied variables from organizational factors (i.e. organizational and supervisor support) and trainee’s characteristics (i.e. self-efficacy) to develop a model for motivation to transfer. For the purpose, data were collected from 388 banking employees and the hypotheses were investigated by means of structural equation modeling using AMOS. The study found both organizational and supervisor support as contributing factors towards motivation to transfer through self-efficacy. The study has implications for the banking sector to cope with this emerging issue.

The Relationship

Purpose Relationship between self-efficacy (SE) and employee job performance (EJP) is of vital importance for organizations but remains unclear. A more comprehensive understanding demonstrated that perceived workplace support (PWS), motivation to transfer (MT) and transfer of training (TT) had mediating effects on the relationship between SE and EJP. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Empirical data were garnered from 250 alumni of the Engineering Faculty, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, Thailand through a questionnaire requesting 62 answers. A research outline was proposed, with structural equation modeling utilized to test the framework, determine the direct influence of SE on EJP and also any indirect influences on EJP through PWS, MT and TT variables. Findings SE increased EJP through enhancing PWS, MT and TT. In addition, PWS, MT and TT were determined as partial mediator factors of SE on EJP. Originality/value Empirical evidence was presented as two mechanisms that helped to explain the effect of SE on EJP. To enhance EJP, organizations should consider contributions associated with SE, PWS, MT and TT when designing and implementing transfer training for effective EJP.

Abstract Background: Tobacco hazard is known as one of the most critical public health problems. Nurses could and should help patients to quit smoking. However, the lack of tobacco cessation education of nurses at medical school leads to the absence of behaviors helping smokers to quit. The analysis of the factors that influencing the nursing interns to help smokers to quit provide evidence for nursing school to administer tobacco cessation education to facilitate more behaviors of smoking cessation in future nurses.Method: To explore the interaction and the effect coefficient among the influencing factors of the 5As behaviors of nursing interns in helping smokers to quit provide and to provide evidences for the tobacco cessation education, a questionnaire based on the PRECEDE theory was developed with consideration of predisposing factor, enabling factor and reinforcing factor. Random Cluster Sampling was used to conduct a survey in 13 teaching hospitals selected from 29 in Chongqing to assess the 5As behaviors of all nursing interns. A structural equation model was established to test the path and effect coefficient of their 5As behaviors.Results: The survey investigated 1358 nurses, and the model fitted well with the data. The tobacco cessation education, one of the enabling factors, imposed max effect on the 5As of nursing interns directly（β=0.542，p<0.001） and indirectly（β=0.38，p<0.001）through self-efficacy. The reinforcing factors ( smoking cessation environment) imposed direct effect (β=0.305，p<0.001）and indirect effect on the 5As of nursing interns through attitude changes. Predisposing factors including self-efficacy influenced the 5As directly, while attitude（β=0.001，p<0.05）and knowledge（β=0.008，p<0.05）of tobacco cessation implied indirect influence on the 5As through self-efficacy change. Conclusion: Tobacco cessation education was the major factor that influenced the nursing interns’ behaviors of helping patients to quit smoking. Enhanced responsibility of smoking cessation education and skills training of clinical teachers can prompt them to actively help patients to quit smoking, actively instruct students the knowledge and skills of smoking quit to increase students' behavior of helping smokers to quit.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate work engagement as a mediator of the impacts of supervisor support and self-efficacy on quitting intentions, and examine self-efficacy as a mediator between supervisor support and work engagement. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 177 call center employees in Malaysia. The aforesaid linkages were tested through structural equation modeling. Findings As hypothesized, self-efficacy mediates the relationship between supervisor support and work engagement, while work engagement mediates the impacts of supervisor support and self-efficacy on quitting intentions. Originality/value Though work engagement is on the decline and employee turnover is on the rise, no attention has been given to investigating the impacts of supervisor support and self-efficacy simultaneously on call center employees’ work engagement and quitting intentions so far. Therefore, the study aims to fill in this void.

The Impact

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.

Crc Screening

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) disproportionately affects Vietnamese Americans, especially those with low income and were born outside of the United States. CRC screening tests are crucial for prevention and early detection. Despite the availability of noninvasive, simple-to-conduct tests, CRC screening rates in Asian Americans, particularly Vietnamese Americans, remain suboptimal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the interplay of multilevel factors – individual, interpersonal, and community – on CRC screening behaviors among low-income Vietnamese Americans with limited English proficiency. Methods: This study is based on the Sociocultural Health Behavior Model, a research-based model that incorporates 6 factors associated with decision-making and health-seeking behaviors that result in health care utilization. Using a community-based participatory research approach, we recruited 801 Vietnamese Americans from community-based organizations. We administered a survey to collect information on sociodemographic characteristics, health-related factors, and CRC screening-related factors. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to identify direct and indirect predictors of lifetime CRC screening. Results: Bivariate analysis revealed that a greater number of respondents who never screened for CRC reported limited English proficiency, fewer years of US residency, and lower self-efficacy related to CRC screening. The SEM model identified self-efficacy (coefficient = 0.092, P < .01) as the only direct predictor of lifetime CRC screening. Educational attainment (coefficient = 0.13, P < .01) and health beliefs (coefficient = 0.040, P < .001) had a modest significant positive relationship with self-efficacy. Health beliefs (coefficient = 0.13, P < .001) and educational attainment (coefficient = 0.16, P < .01) had significant positive relationships with CRC knowledge. Conclusions: To increase CRC screening uptake in medically underserved Vietnamese American populations, public health interventions should aim to increase community members’ confidence in their abilities to screen for CRC and to navigate associated processes, including screening preparation, discussions with doctors, and emotional complications.
