BACKGROUND: Nursing is a profession in the health care sector that is pivotal and solely focused on serving humanity. With having to carry that burden, issues regarding mental health among nurses have been increasing. Stress is often encountered by nurses in the workplace which eventually leads to burnout. Initial evidence suggests that a positive or an increase in psychosocial wellbeing increases job satisfaction. The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between psychosocial wellbeing and job satisfaction. Moreover, it aimed to examine the significant difference in psychological wellbeing and job satisfaction when considering age. METHODS: Utilizing Correlational design, 100 registered nurses were purposively sampled from a public hospital in Baguio City, Philippines. Psychosocial wellbeing was measured using Carol Ryff’s Psychosocial Wellbeing Questionnaire, and job satisfaction were measured using the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Paul Specter.  The statistical treatment used was Pearson correlation and t-test to address the research questions. RESULTS: The study showed that there was a low positive significant relationship between psychosocial wellbeing and job satisfaction. There was no significant difference in psychosocial wellbeing and job satisfaction when age was considered.   DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The results of the study showed that registered nurses have high psychosocial wellbeing which makes them have high job satisfaction at their work environment. The study recommends that more studies should be done to identify factors influencing psychosocial wellbeing, job satisfaction, resilience-oriented training for the nurses are suggested to enhance resilience and protect the nurses from extensive stress and burnout as well as to benefit the organization with lower turnover rates and higher nurse-patient outcome.

The study revisited the political culture of millennials, promising citizens, and leaders of the country. It described and explored the perceptions and outlooks of millennials towards knowledge, involvement, and values as attributes of political culture.  The study was a descriptive survey and correlational design.  The study revealed that most millennials depend on TV and social media as sources of political information and consider integrity, honesty, intelligence, and experience to vote for a candidate in an election. Meanwhile, there is a significant difference among the three political attributes as shown in the computed F-value of 56.94; millennials have the highest level of attributes in political values compared with political knowledge and involvement. Interestingly, the result indicates no significant difference between the male and female levels of political attributes. On the other hand, the computed F-value of 3.05 showed an apparent significant difference in political attributes of millennials when grouped according to religion. Generally, millennials have a high level of political attributes; this indicated that despite that millennials were in the midst of the fast-changing world brought by media and technology, they stay active citizens as seen in their political values that remain highly intact.

<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aimed to explore the perceived factors that influenced the success and challenges experienced when taking licensure examination among Bachelor of Science in Criminology graduates of a state university in the Philippines who failed in the Criminologist Licensure Examinations (CLE). Descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to analyze quantitative data, and Colaizzi’s descriptive phenomenology was used for the thematic analysis of qualitative data. The quantitative findings revealed that home and family factor has a high influence on the success in CLE, while student factor, school factor, review center factor, and personal factor have average influence. Further, ten clusters of themes emerged as factors that influence the success in CLE. Among them were interest and focus on the program, and availability of qualified and dedicated faculty. Among the themes that emerged as challenges were lack of preparedness for the exam because of one’s work, and personal and social pressures. There is a significant difference on the respondents’ perception towards the factors that influence the success in CLE when they are grouped according to sex. Regarding the challenges associated with preparing for and taking the CLE, a significant difference is only observed when respondents are grouped according to their civil status. Generally, married respondents have higher weighted means than the single ones. This implies that the identified challenges affected married respondents more than the single ones. These results can be used to make policies and initiate programs that would enhance graduates’ success in the exam by providing appropriate interventions and early remediations.</p>

Estimation of life satisfaction is an important indicator of mental health. In families where one member needs intensive care and attention, many mental health parameters start to decline, even life satisfaction. In line with that, we conducted research with a goal to explore the role of marriage quality, job satisfaction, altruism, age, education, and gender in life satisfaction in individuals that have a family member in need of intensive care or additional support (N=98) and individuals that who do not have (N=793). The instruments used were the DAS scale, a combination of the Altruism scale and Alzam scale. Life satisfaction and job satisfaction were evaluated on 10-point scale. All participants were married or in a romantic relationship at the time of research. It showed that there is a significant difference in life satisfaction between these two groups of individuals – a lower level of life satisfaction was identified in a group of individuals that has a family member in need of intensive care. Important predictors of life satisfaction in the first group of individuals were job satisfaction and risks for marriage stability, and in the second job satisfaction, partner agreement and age. Life satisfaction is higher among people who have a university degree and/ or higher education than those who have completed high school in both groups. In both groups, job satisfaction represents an important predictor of life satisfaction. Still, we noticed differences when it comes to the quality of marriage – risks of marriage stability decrease life satisfaction in a group that has a family member in need of intensive care, whereas agreement with partner contributes to life satisfaction in the second group of participants.

The right to self-determination is central to the current debate on rational suicide in old age. The goal of this exploratory study was to assess the presence of self-determination in suicidal institutionalized elderly persons. Eleven elderly persons with serious suicidal ideations were matched according to age, sex, and civil status with 11 nonsuicidal persons. The results indicated that suicidal persons did not differ from nonsuicidal persons in level of self-determination. There was, however, a significant difference between groups on the social subscale. Suicidal elderly persons did not seem to take others into account when making a decision or taking action. The results are discussed from a suicide-prevention perspective.

Subjective Career Success

Despite the rich literature on the antecedents of career success, the success criterion has generally been measured in a rather deficient manner. This study aims to operationalize and measure career success of rural to urban migrant laborers in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam by developing an integrated index. The Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) with a combination of both reflective and formative constructs is applied. Employing the primary data of 419 migrant laborers in a survey conducted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 2015, the hierarchical model confirms the statistically significant contribution of objective and subjective components to the career success index. Compared to objective career success, subjective career success has a stronger effect on the index. Five dimensions of career success are distinguished including: 1) job satisfaction, 2) career satisfaction, 3) life satisfaction, 4) other-referent criteria and 5) promotion. The first four and the final one are categorized as subjective career success and objective career success respectively. Among the four dimensions of subjective success, job satisfaction, career satisfaction and life satisfaction share lesser weights than success using otherreferent criteria in the model. This finding implies that other-referent criteria play an important role when people evaluate their career success. The index shall provide a general picture of the career success of rural to urban migrant laborers in Ho Chi Minh City and give an empirical result for further micro-research on career success determination.
