Where we used the Correlation Analysis, the test about Homogeneity of Variance (Levene); Hypothesis HP4: Gender Q2 influences Q15 Are you invited to any kind of meetings? Where a single-factor dispersion analysis is used-One Way ANOVA, Correlation Analysis. The survey showed an interesting picture in terms of gender.

Background and purpose: According to the importance of managerial skills in both public and private pharmacies, this study aimed to investigate the managerial skills of technical officers of pharmacies in south of Iran. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 124 technical officers and 113 personnel working in the pharmacies in Shiraz in 2017. A researcher-made questionnaire was developed containing demographic questions (age, sex, and work experience), place of study, pharmacy ownership, and type of pharmacy, and 17 other questions to evaluate the managerial skills of the technical officers from their own self-assessment and their personnel viewpoints. The validity of the questionnaire was verified by experts, and its reliability was confirmed by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.85. Data was analyzed applying SPSS23 through descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney, and Chi-square tests (α=5%). Results:  This study showed that from the perspective of the personnel working in pharmacies, the skill of “time management” was in a desirable condition, and the skill of “conflict management” was in an undesirable condition. Based on the results of the self-assessment of technical officers, their managerial skills were significantly related to gender, age, work experience, and pharmacy ownership. Accordingly, the female technical officers under 30 years of age, with a work experience of less than 16 years, who were working in public pharmacies assigned better scores to their managerial skills. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is necessary to improve the managerial skills of technical officers specially their ability of conflict management through appropriate training, and examine the impact of demographic factors and the characteristic of pharmacies on their managerial skills.

The article presents the results of experimental work on consulting support of professional practice of a teacher, which introduces local innovations. These innovations are initiated by teachers who need advice on developing a project to implement them in their professional activities. Innovative changes developed by the teacher infringe the order in the implementation of existing professional practice, which leads to the need for its technologization. The presented circumstances actualize consulting support as a form of teacher training directly at the workplace. The purpose of the research stated in the publication is to identify the impact of consulting support on the formation of competencies of consulted ones on the implementation of local innovations developed by them in their own professional practice. Consulting support of technologization by teachers-clients of their own professional practice, after the introduction of local innovative changes, was implemented in a mixed type, combining offline and online formats. The authors of the publication propose to evaluate the success of participants in consulting support for the products developed in its process: the project of technologization of professional practice and the program for its implementation. The obtained data were statistically processed using the parametric method of variance analysis. Statistical processing of the data obtained confirmed the effectiveness of this approach. Professional growth and motivation of educational institution specialists are regulated with statistical accuracy by consulting, which acts as an educational management practice. The consulting on the development of local innovations should be carried out continuously to support the teacher's strategically significant needs, and not just their fragmentary situational requests.

The forces of globalization and subsequent trade across the borders have necessitated the firms to have their presence across the globe to meet the needs of their customers. The employees or expatriates will be sent on assignment to different countries for a period of time ranging from few weeks, months to years. This sudden exposure to the different environment not only makes these expatriates vulnerable to cultural shocks, but also may significantly affect their job performance. Their failure to acclimatize to the foreign conditions will not only hurt the confidence, career and life of the expatriate, but it will also cost a lot to the company. The present paper aims to understand of the process of expatriate adjustment in the Indian Information Technology (IT) industry by examining demographic variables and few organizational variables of expatriate’s adjustment process. A structured questionnaire was distributed to the expatriate employees working in 50 IT companies in the Silicon city, Bengaluru. The study uses Chi-square test and linear regression for testing the hypotheses and found that there is a significant influence of demographic variables like gender, work experience and length of assignment on acclimatization of expatriates to their host country culture. The findings of the study proved that there is a significant relationship between demographic variables and the cultural acceptance of the expatriates. Hence, it is suggested that multinational companies should create an enabling environment within the organizations to make international assignees compatible and comfortable with different cultural values and inculcate cultural acceptance to make them successful in their international assignments.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
