This paper aimed to explore the variables that influenced the intention to quit the teaching profession among vocational teachers. Moreover, the researchers examined the differences in the perception of the levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction among vocational teachers in Thailand. The target population comprised vocational teachers from public colleges in Thailand with a total number of 29,915. The stratified random sampling technique was used for selecting the samples. The data collection involved self-report surveys from 510 vocational teachers from 55 vocational colleges in Thailand's metropolitan, north, northeast, east, and south. Correlation and regression analyses were used to examine the possible relationships among the variables and identify the significant variables. The findings reported that emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were moderate while personal accomplishment was at a high level. Job satisfaction was the strongest predictor of the intention to quit. In addition, three components of burnout influenced the intention to quit among the vocational teachers: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. For the implication, this study recommended a practical application in the dimension of policy improvement concerning teachers' welfare. It emphasized the need to develop programs supporting teachers' mental health to reduce burnout and increase job satisfaction.

<p>This paper investigates the factors contributing to Generation Y employees’ intention to quit in the business process outsourcing sector (BPO) in Malaysia from four different perspectives: personnel dimensions (work overload, role ambiguity and job stress), job attitudes (satisfaction with pay and organizational commitment), work-life conflict and organizational strategies (training, career planning and empowerment). A structural equation modelling approach was employed to identify the variables that significantly affect the intention to quit. Using Amos 18, data collected from 164 Generation Y employees in the BPO sector were used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that intention to quit one’s job is explained by lack of training, lack of empowerment, organizational commitment, and lack of career planning. Also, role ambiguity and satisfaction with pay exert negative indirect effects on the intention to quit one’s job through organizational commitment. Additionally, job stress has no impact on the intention to quit one’s job. This study is considered to be among the few attempts to address the reasons behind Generation Y employees' intention to quit.</p>

Quitting Smoking

To identify factors affecting current smokers' intention to quit smoking and factors associated with successful quitting among ex-smokers in Hong Kong. A cross-sectional survey of Chinese patients attending medical and surgical Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOPCs) of public hospitals in Hong Kong, using a structured questionnaire. Results of the 642 respondents, 21% were current smokers, 9% were ex-smokers and 69% were non-smokers. 74% of the smokers reportedly received quitting advice from doctors. Among the current smokers, past quitting attempts, receiving information from sources other than doctors, believing that doctor's advice was useful, believing that all smokers should quit smoking and a positive attitude towards quitting were associated with intention to quit. Among those who had attempted to quit, being older (aged 50 or above), being retired / unemployed and consuming more than 10 cigarettes per day were associated with successful quitting. We found that advice from doctors on quitting smoking did not have any impact on Chinese smokers quitting or future intention to quit and reflect the inadequacy of advice given by Hong Kong doctors. The predictors of intention to quit and successful quitting identified in the study could be used to design future smoking cessation services. Asia Pac J Public Health 2004; 16(2): 115-120.

Drinking Frequency

This study aimed to identify people at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) using the Framingham risk score (FRS) and to examine their willingness to modify their lifestyle. A descriptive correlational study with 1229 participants, aged 30–74 years, without cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases who visited a health examination center in South Korea was conducted. Of 1229 participants, 455 were identified as high risk for CVD with an FRS of 10 or higher. A logistic regression analysis confirmed age, sex, muscle training, and weekly drinking frequency as predictors of intention to quit smoking; age, smoking, and waist to height ratio (WHtR) as predictors of intention to quit drinking; sex and WHtR as predictors of intention to engage in physical exercise; and hypertension and body mass index as predictors of intention of muscle training. People at high risk for CVD lack willingness to modify their lifestyle, and aggressive, customized intervention is needed to promote lifestyle modification.
