Using path analysis, we examined the direct effects of students' perceptions of assessment tasks on self-efficacy, and the indirect effects through the students' perception of task value. Data were collected from 2,137 school students in Oman. Their perceptions in terms of congruence with planned learning, authenticity, student consultation, transparency, and diversity were measured using Alkharusi's (2013) Arabic version of Dorman and Knightley's (2006) Perceptions of Assessment Tasks Inventory. Task value and self-efficacy were measured using items from Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, and Mckeachie's (1993) Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. Results showed that congruence with planned learning and authenticity had direct effects on self-efficacy. Student consultation and diversity affected self-efficacy indirectly via task value. Transparency had a direct positive effect on self-efficacy. Therefore, students' perceptions of assessment tasks had both direct and indirect effects on their self-efficacy and their perception of task value.

Instructional teaching quality facilitates learning and promotes affective, motivational, behavioral and cognitive development of students. It was analyzed the role that instructional teaching quality, task value, self-efficacy and boredom on attention in class have. Argentinian university students (N = 454, 84% women) completed self-reports that measured the variables under study. The path analysis showed that only one of the four models analyzed showed a good fit to the data and explained 54% of attention in class variance. It was found that instructional teaching quality predicts task value, academic self-efficacy and boredom in class; task value and academic self-efficacy affect boredom and attention in class, while academic self-efficacy influences on task value; and boredom is the strongest predictor of attention in class. Instructional teaching quality, task value and academic self-efficacy added indirect effects on boredom and attention in class. In this way teacher’s behavior and student motivation are fundamental in reducing boredom and increasing attention in class.

As important situational factors in the workplace, challenge stressors play an important role in stimulating employee creativity. This study used self-efficacy and emotional exhaustion as intervening processes to delve into the impact of promotion and depletion mechanisms of challenge stressors on employee creativity. According to the theory of resource conservation, the study explores the moderating effect of learning and relaxing at work on the promotion and depletion mechanisms of challenge stressors. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis was conducted to analyze the effect of a combination of factors on employee creativity. A total of 240 valid paired-samples were collected from employees of three enterprises in information technology, finance, and evaluation services industries. This study drew the following conclusions. Challenge stressors have a direct positive effect on employee creativity, self-efficacy and emotional exhaustion have partial mediating effects on the relationship between challenge stressors and employee creativity, learning positively moderates the relationship between challenge stressors and self-efficacy, and qualitative comparative analysis reveals three configurations that improve employee creativity.

The Impact

In this article I consider two consequentialist positions on whether individuals in affluent countries ought to purchase Fair Trade goods. One is a narrow argument, which asserts that individuals should purchase Fair Trade goods because this will have positive direct effects on poverty reduction, by, for example, channelling money into development. I argue that this justification is insufficient to show that individuals should purchase Fair Trade goods because individuals could achieve similar results by donating money to charity and, therefore, without purchasing Fair Trade goods. The second position has a wider focus. It notes both the direct effects of purchasing Fair Trade goods and possible indirect effects, such as the impact this might have on other individuals. I argue that certain actions, of which Fair Trade is one example, will be more likely to encourage individuals who would not otherwise contribute to poverty reduction to contribute and that this may produce additional positive value. Although space prohibits specific conclusions about Fair Trade, I note that considerations of this kind could give us reason to purchase such goods beyond those that issue from the direct effects of doing so and that, as such, they are crucial for determining whether individuals should purchase Fair Trade goods.

Positive Effect

We analyzed the impact of performance appraisal purpose on employees' proactive behavior, and explored the roles of psychological ownership and self-efficacy as mediators in this relationship. We conducted a survey with 512 employees of enterprises in 4 cities in China. The results of analysis of the data collected showed that an evaluative performance appraisal had a negative influence on the employees' proactive behavior whereas a developmental performance appraisal had a positive influence. Psychological ownership and self-efficacy were found to have an intermediary role between performance appraisal purpose and the employees' proactive behavior. Self-efficacy had a significant positive effect on psychological ownership. Implications of these results for theory and management practice are discussed.

The Impact

In the last 25 years the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has evolved into a venue where some of the most contentious questions related to religion in European society are addressed. This article focuses on the grassroots level impact of the ECtHR in the domain of legal status of religious minorities. In light of scholarly debates questioning the direct effects of courts on the issues they address (i.e., legal reform and policy change), the research on which this article is based explores the nature and extent of the Court’s indirect effects on the legal status of religious minorities: how and to what extent does the ECtHR impact upon religious minorities in terms of their conceptions of, discourse around, and mobilisations pursuing their legal status-related rights? This question is addressed through results of empirical qualitative research conducted at the grassroots level in four country cases – Greece, Italy, Romania and Turkey.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) mendeskripsikan kemampuan literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA; (2) mendeskripsikan dampak perbedaan kebijakan sistem zonasi terhadap kemampuan literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA; dan (3) mendes­kripsikan hubungan antara literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA. Penelitian survei ini melibatkan 346 siswa dari Kota Banjarmasin dan 321 siswa dari Kota Palangka Raya. Kedua kota tersebut memiliki kebijakan zonasi yang berbeda. Pengumpulan data dila­kukan me­lalui tes dan angket yang telah memenuhi kriteria valid dan reliabel. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa literasi matematis siswa di Kota Banjarmasin dan Kota Palangka Raya berada pada kategori ren­dah, sedangkan self-efficacy siswa pada kedua kota berada pada kategori sedang. Tidak terdapat per­bedaan yang bermakna pada rata-rata literasi matematis antara siswa di Kota Banjarmasin dan Palangka Raya. Namun demikian, terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna pada rata-rata self-effi­cacy antara siswa di Kota Banjarmasin dan Palangka Raya. Kebijakan zonasi di Kota Palangka Raya menyebabkan perbedaan rata-rata literasi matematis siswa pada sekolah kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Sedangkan kebijakan zonasi di Kota Banjarmasin menyebabkan perbedaan rata-rata self-efficacy siswa pada sekolah kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Terakhir, terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan (meskipun lemah) antara literasi matematis dan self-efficacy siswa kelas XI SMA di Kota Banjarmasin dan Kota Palangka Raya (r = 0,194). Mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of students in terms of differences in zoning system policies.AbstractThis study aimed to (1) describe the mathematical literacy abilities and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students; (2) describe the impact of differences in zoning system policies on the mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students; and (3) describe the relationship between mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students. This survey involved 346 students from Banjarmasin City and 321 students from Palangka Raya City, Indonesia. The two cities have different zoning policies. The data was collected through tests and questionnaires that met the valid and reliable criteria. The data analysis technique used was descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that students’ mathematical literacy in Banjarmasin and Palangka Raya City was in a low category, while self-efficacy in both cities was in the medium category. There was no significant difference in the mean of mathematical literacy of students in Banjarmasin and Palangka Raya City. How­ever, there was a significant difference in the mean of self-efficacy of students in Banjar­masin and Palangka Raya City. The zoning policy in Palangka Raya City causes differences in the mean of mathematical literacy of students in high, moderate, and low category schools. In contrast, the zoning policy in Banjarmasin City causes differences in the mean of self-efficacy of students in high, medium, and low category schools. Lastly, there was a significant positive correlation (al­though weak) between mathematical literacy and self-efficacy of eleventh-grade senior high school students in Banjarmasin and Palangka Raya City (r = 0.194).
