From the moment the Republic of Serbia declared a state of emergency in the summer semester of 2019/2020, higher education institutions (HEIs) used various teaching models from Distance Learning Systems (DLS), online platforms and modern information and communication technologies (ICT), to sending materials via student e-mails and notifications via faculty portals. Using survey research as a method, the paper describes the experiences of teachers and associates at HEIs in Serbia (780 respondents) regarding the efficiency of provided education services. In this article, we used the method of content analysis and participatory observation, as well. We analysed the attitudes of teachers and associates apropos the efficiency of providing educational services through the work from home (WFH) model and distance learning (DL) and other models used in response to COVID-19 epidemiological measures in education. During the WFH setup, we looked for factors that affect educational efficiency. When it comes to the statistical technique, factor analysis was selected. Technology, managerial support, and work–home conflict are all expected to impact process efficiency, so these were the first criteria considered when selecting potential factors. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used as the extraction method, and the Varimax rotation method was also used. We discarded all factors with eigenvalues below one. Four factors caught our attention: School management support, Family–work conflict, Home infrastructure, and Technology choice. The results showed that F1 (School management support) is positively correlated to F2 (Family–work conflict) and efficiency and negatively correlated to F3 (Home infrastructure). Conversely, F2 is negatively correlated to F3 and positively correlated to efficiency. The F4 factor shows no significant correlations to other factors.

The article analyzes the theoretical foundations of professional training of future English teachers by means of distance learning in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Poland. The use of distance learning tools in the training of future English teachers, psychological aspects of distance learning, changing the role of the teacher, the theory of multilateral education are the subject of active research by scientists. The research of Polish scholars highlights the methodological and didactic features of the training of future English teachers by means of distance learning. The importance of innovative forms and methods in the training of future foreign language teachers is revealed. The need for constant monitoring of the learning environment in the lifelong learning process is emphasized. It is noted that the global informatization of soci-ety and the rapid development of information and communication technologies place new demands on edu-cation. The directions of research singled out by Polish and Ukrainian scientists in the process of informatiza-tion of education are generalized.The expansion of international relations and the growing interest in learning foreign languages as a means of communication encourages European countries, in particular the Republic of Poland, to reform and improve the special professional training of English teachers in both traditional and alternative forms of ed-ucation. The works analyzed in the bibliographic analysis are an important source of information for a com-parative analysis of the training of future English teachers in distance learning in order to justify ways to use constructive ideas of the Polish experience of distance learning in higher education in Ukraine

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Trotz einer hohen Zahl an Abschlüssen in der Humanmedizin ist in Deutschland immer häufiger von einem Ärztemangel die Rede. Ein Grund ist die schwierige Vereinbarkeit von Kliniktätigkeit und Familienleben, die vor allem Ärztinnen als Hauptgrund für die spätere Arbeit im nicht-kurativen Bereich nennen. Ziel der Arbeit Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Einfluss des Elternstatus von Ärztinnen und Ärzten auf ihre Karriereentwicklung und das Belastungserleben am Ende der Weiterbildung. Darüber hinaus betrachtet werden die Auswirkungen von befristeten Arbeitsverträgen und erlebter Unterstützung durch den Partner auf das Belastungserleben. Material und Methoden Es wurden die Daten der KarMed-Studie, welche sich mit Karriereverläufen von Ärztinnen und Ärzten während der fachärztlichen Weiterbildung beschäftigt, ausgewertet. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der querschnittlichen Analyse des Erhebungszeitraums von Oktober 2015 bis Mai 2016. Zu diesem befanden sich 433 StudienteilnehmerInnen am Ende ihrer Weiterbildung. Eingesetzt wurden u. a. die Fragebögen Work-Family Conflict und Family-Work Conflict Skalen. Ergebnisse Ärztinnen mit Kind unterbrechen die Weiterbildung fünfmal häufiger als ihre Kolleginnen ohne Kind und achtzehnmal häufiger als Ärzte mit Kind. Ärztinnen mit Kind sowie Ärzte mit Kind weisen signifikant höhere Werte auf der Family-Work Conflict Skala auf, Ärztinnen ohne Kind hingegen höhere Werte auf der Work-Conflict Skala. Bei Ärzten zeigt sich kein signifikanter Unterschied auf der Work-Family Skala. Weder ein befristeter Arbeitsvertrag noch die Verteilung von Kinderbetreuung zwischen Ärztinnen/Ärzten und ihren Partnern/-rinnen haben einen signifikanten Einfluss auf das Belastungserleben zur Folge. Schlußfolgerung Es besteht ein Bedarf die Konflikte, die aus dem Familienleben auf das Arbeitsleben wirken insbesondere für Ärztinnen in Weiterbildung zu reduzieren.

Purpose of the Study: The primary objective of this study was to investigate work-family and family-work conflicts and the nature of these conflicts among teachers in schools of Southern Punjab, Pakistan, from the perspective of their gender and marital status. Moreover, this research also examined the difference between work-family and family-work conflicts among teachers. Methodology: This study used both descriptive and survey research designs. A questionnaire comprising 22-items work-family and family-work conflict scales was used. The researchers administered the tool to 422 elementary teachers from forty (40) schools of the three districts of southern Punjab, Pakistan, who were randomly selected using both multistage clusters and the stratified sampling techniques. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for analyzing the data. Main Findings: This study found that teachers hardly believe that their workplace tasks create hurdles in performing their family roles. Likewise, the study found that teachers hardly believe that their family responsibilities create any hurdles in performing their tasks at work. The study further found that female teachers’ family is more affected by their work engagements than male. Applications of this study: The results of this study will be helpful for teachers, counsellors, managers, and policymakers in developing programs that are likely to reduce work-family-work conflicts among teachers of elementary schools. Novelty/Originality of this study: Work-family-work conflicts among teachers in schools of Southern Punjab, Pakistan, have not been addressed from the perspective of their gender and marital status.

<p>The issue of married women who work as academic lecturers is important to be studied. They are demanded to preserve their independence and increase intellectuality which then may decrease when they have children. This study aimed to examine whether positive spillover can reduce work-family or family-work conflict so as to improve psychological well-being. The subjects, who were screened with a random sampling technique, were 429 female lecturers working in universities in Riau.  Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple regression. The result showed that respondents have low psychological well-being and better family-work positive spillover. Multiple regression analysis showed that family-work positive spillover and family-work conflict simultaneously influenced psychological well-being. Therefore, it can be concluded that female lecturers prioritize completing home tasks over others, which reduces their psychological well-being at the workplace.</p>
