The Influence of NCS-Based Curriculum on Learning Satisfaction of the Beauty Related Sector Learners for Job PROTECTION -Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Learning Immersion-

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-directed learning strategies on e-learning pre-learning focusing on the flow experience.Methods: A structured self-report questionnaire was used to measure learning outcome achievement, pre-learning satisfaction, learning persistence, flow experience, and self-directed learning strategies. Data were collected from September 3~7, 2018. Participants were 150 nursing students studying at a university in D city. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple linear regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program.Results: The flow experience had a partial mediating effect between self-directed learning strategies and pre-learning satisfaction (β=.73, p<.001). Also the flow experience had a partial mediating effect between self-directed learning strategies and learning outcome achievement (β=.17, p=.020) and learning persistence (β=.24, p=.001).Conclusion: Results suggest that flow experience has a positive effect as a mediating effect in the relationship between self-directed learning strategy and pre-learning satisfaction, learning outcome achievement, and learning persistence. Therefore, it is necessary to identify education methods that include flow experience with self-directed learning strategies.

Abstract: In recent years, transformational leadership as a health-related factor has become a focal point of interest in research and practice. However, the pathways and mechanisms underlying this association are not yet well understood. In order to gain knowledge on how or why transformational leadership and employee well-being are associated, we investigated the mediating effect of the work characteristics role clarity and predictability. The study was carried out on 618 employees working in the health-care sector in Germany. We tested the mediator effect using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that role clarity and predictability fully mediate the relation between transformational leadership and negative indicators of well-being. These results give credit to the notion that work characteristics play an important role in identifying health-relevant aspects of leadership behavior. Our findings advance the understanding of how to enhance employee well-being and have implications for the design of leadership-related interventions of workplace health promotion.

Basic Tenet

This survey study focused on the attitudes of Russian-speaking minority youth (N = 132) toward other immigrant groups living in Finland. Along with testing the basic tenet of the contact hypothesis in a minority-minority context, the mediating effect of intergroup anxiety and the moderating effect of perceived social norms on the contact-attitude association were specified by taking into account the identity processes involved in intergroup interactions. The results indicated, first, that the experience of intergroup anxiety evoked by a negative intergroup encounter was reflected in negative outgroup attitudes only among the weakly identified. Second, negative contact experiences of minority adolescents were found not to be reflected in negative attitudes when their ethnic identification was attenuated, and when they perceived positive norms regarding intergroup attitudes.
