This research article presents a conceptual model of the proposed study involving a relationship between self-efficacy sources and metacognitive reading strategies by employing reading self-efficacy beliefs as a mediating variable. Initially, this paper provides a brief background of the variables involved in the study. Furthermore, it gives an insight into the problems faced by the Saudi Preparatory Year Programme (PYP) students regarding employing metacognitive reading strategies while reading. There are three main research objectives of the current study. Firstly, to determine the correlation between self-efficacy sources and self-efficacy beliefs. Secondly, to determine the correlation between self-efficacy beliefs and metacognitive reading strategies. Lastly, to determine the mediating role of self-efficacy beliefs between self-efficacy sources and metacognitive reading strategies. Additionally, three hypotheses are generated on the basis of the reviewed literature. Lastly, it is hoped that the findings of this study would be beneficial for the students, teachers, policy makers and syllabus designers.

The Relationship

Abstract The intended aim of this research was to identify the connection of Self-Efficacy Sources (SES) and Metacognitive Reading Strategies (MCRS) with Reading Comprehension (RC) by deploying reading Self-Efficacy Beliefs (SEB) as a mediating construct. A correlational design was utilized. Proportionate stratified random sampling was deployed to select a sample of 383 Saudi EFL university learners. Questionnaires and a reading comprehension test were employed to gather the data. Structural equation modelling was used to test the relationships. Results indicated that SES were substantially associated with SEB except physiological state. Moreover, all the three MCRS showed significant and positive association with SEB. Also, SEB were substantially associated with RC. Regarding mediation, it was discovered that SEB mediated the relationship among SES and RC except one source, i.e., physiological state. Moreover, SEB mediated the association between all the three MCRS and RC. This study provides several implications for learners, teachers, and policymakers.

The Relationship

Background: Academic burnout is one of the most important problems throughout all levels of the education system. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between time management and academic burnout with the mediating role of test anxiety and self-efficacy beliefs among university students in 2019. Methods: The study was a descriptive correlation performed by path analysis. The statistical population included all students of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz and 222 of which were selected as the sample of the study using convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Academic Burnout Questionnaire, the Time Management Questionnaire, the test anxiety inventory, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. The proposed model was evaluated using path analysis with AMOS software. Results: A direct and positive relationship was observed between time management and self-efficacy beliefs (β = 0.345, P = 0.0001) and between test anxiety and academic burnout (β = 0.515, P = 0.0001). The relationship between time management and test anxiety (β = -0.586, P=0.001) and between self-efficacy beliefs and academic burnout (β = -0.305, P = 0.0001) was negative. The relationship between time management and academic burnout was not significant (β = -0.051, P = 0.425). The results indicated that test anxiety and self-efficacy beliefs had a mediating role in the relationship between time management and academic burnout (β = -3.964, P = 0.001). Conclusions: According to research results, the proposed model had good fitness and is considered an important step in identifying the effective factors in students’ academic burnout.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of game-product fit on brand advocacy and mediating role of thought favorability in fit and brand advocacy relationship in the context of in-game advertising (IGA) using congruity theory and heuristic systematic model. This expounds the conditions under which in-game brand placements form favorable or unfavorable thoughts about the game and the advertised brand, and following brand advocacy.Design/methodology/approachA total of 144 student-gamers participated in the study. One-way ANOVA and a path analysis were used for hypotheses testing.FindingsResults showed that the high-fit game resulted in higher thought favorability and greater levels of brand advocacy than the low-fit game. Furthermore, results also revealed that thought favorability mediated the relationship of game-product fit and brand advocacy among players.Research limitations/implicationsResearch on IGA is still in its relative infancy, and how gamers respond to brand placements in games has yet to be fully established. This paper’s theoretical implications are primarily in the context of in-game advertising and explain the role played by game-product fit as an originator to thought favorability that further adds value to thought favorability and brand advocacy relationship.Practical implicationsThe study offers important implications for marketers, advertisers, policy-makers in terms of effective game-designing and IGA execution.OriginalitySince very little research has been done focusing on mediating role of thought favorability in game-product fit and brand advocacy relationship in the context of IGA from attention and elaboration perspectives, this paper scores as a pioneering study of its kind in India.
