The current article deals with the interesting phenomenon of mismatch between an academic graduate's field of education and their field of occupation (a phenomenon known in the literature as horizontal-mismatch or job-field underemployment), and its impact on the individual's career satisfaction. Some studies regarding the broader phenomenon of underemployment suggest that graduates might temporarily accept an underemployed job in order to avoid unemployment and obtain some work experience, but even though most of the relatively scarce articles on the subject suggest it is usually an involuntary phenomenon, almost none of them specifically focus on the case of job-field underemployment. 310 Israeli academics with almost-equal gender representation participated in this study. A statistically significant negative correlation has been found, according to which, the greater an individuals’ level of job-field underemployment, the lower their career satisfaction level. The main conclusion of the present study is that the individuals’ quality of job-field fit appears to be a very significant component in their career perception: The individual, being rational, will invest in a specific field of education in order to integrate into the labor market accordingly. Therefore, this phenomenon is not desirable for the individual, and it requires more informed career planning by the individual in order to avoid experiencing this phenomenon in the first place. At the macro-economic level, this requires better labor-market adjustments between the supply of labor and the demand for jobs.

Abstract.Emotional intelligence is a set of skills that enable the individual to manage their own emotions and those of others, making it easier to achieve established objectives and create wellbeing at organizational, academic and personal level. Job satisfaction is a positive emotional assessment of work experience that is related to the productivity and well-being. In this regard, the aim of this study was to analyze to what extent emotional intelligence can increase job satisfaction. To achieve this goal are counted with a mixed sample of 377 workers (M = 172, F= 205) in public and private companies of Portugal, that answered a questionnaire previously validated by other authors, which mediates the three main variables of study: emotional intelligence, organizational stress and job satisfaction. The results obtained through the Pearson correlation tested the hypotheses in the expected direction with significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and organizational stress and a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. Emotional intelligence workers anticipated job satisfaction R multiple = .332, R2 = .111, F (6, 370) = 7.66, p <.001, the most significant variables as predictors of emotional intelligence, Auto - courage (? = .184, p = .001), and Empathy and emotional contagion (? =.141, p = .016).Keywords: Emotional Intelligence and Job Satisfaction.Resumen.La inteligencia emocional consiste en un conjunto de habilidades que permiten al individuo manejar sus propias emociones y las de los demás, por lo que es más fácil alcanzar los objetivos establecidos y crear bienestar a nivel organizacional, académico y personal. La satisfacción laboral representa una valoración emocional positiva sobre la experiencia de trabajo, que está relacionado con la productividad y el bienestar. En este sentido, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar hasta qué punto la inteligencia emocional puede aumentar la satisfacción laboral. Para llevar a cabo este objetivo se contó con una muestra mixta de 377 trabajadores (M = 172, F = 205) de empresas públicas y privadas de Portugal, que respondieron a un cuestionario previamente validado por otros autores, que medía las dos variables principales de este estudio: inteligencia emocional y satisfacción laboral. Los resultados obtenidos a través de la correlación de Pearson probaron la hipótesis en la dirección esperada, una correlación positiva significativa entre la inteligencia emocional y la satisfacción laboral. La inteligencia emocional de los trabajadores anticipa la satisfacción laboral R múltiplo = .332; R2 = .111, F (6, 370) = 7.66, p < .001, siendo las variables más significativas como predictores de inteligencia emocional, el Auto–coraje (? = .184, p= .001) y, la Empatía y el contagio emocional (? = .141, p = .016).Palabras claves: inteligencia emocional y satisfacción laboral.

The relationship between certain dimensions of career anchors, job perceptions and quality of work life. The career anchors and job perceptions of a sample of 258 employees in various types of organizations (private, semistate and state) were examined. A significant link was found between the respondents' career anchors and corresponding job perception; after which a test for differences in quality of working life between the fit and non-fit group was carried out. It was only for those respondents whose dominant career anchor was job security that significant differences (p < 0,5) were found and the fit group had a significantly higher score. The implications of these findings on career planning for the individual and the firm are examined.   Opsomming Die loopbaanankers en pospersepsie van 'n steekproef van 258 werknemers in verskillende tipes organisasies (privaat, semi-staat en staat) is ondersoek.

The tourism industry requires that increasing attention be paid not only to the quality of products and services but also to the quality of the human resources that constitute one of its major assets, since tourism is essentially a people-centered service industry. As such, a high-quality skilled workforce will ensure greater competitiveness and innovation, improved job prospects, repeat tourist visits, and economic growth in South Africa. This study aims to establish how tourism graduates perceived their abilities in terms of knowledge and skills and how the tourism industry evaluated tourism graduates' actual abilities in terms of knowledge and skills within the tourism industry. The researchers adopted a sequential, explanatory mixed-method that entails combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The researchers conducted a quantitative survey of a purposive sample of 561 managers, supervisors, and owners of tourism industry establishments, as well as tourism graduates exposed to the industry and those working in the tourism industry. Semistructured interviews were also conducted with 12 participants who were purposively selected. This study found that the tourism industry experiences graduates as being comfortable with technology, having a professional appearance, as well as outgoing—their three top actual abilities. However, graduates were perceived to lack entrepreneurial skills. In addition, work experience, negotiation skills, and career planning were among the lowest ranked actual abilities of tourism graduates. Actual knowledge and skills gaps indicate a lack of the educational expertise required, as it underpins the curriculum in a tourism qualification and adds extensive value to the tourism industry when recruiting, training, and developing staff.

Quality Of Research

Through academia, professional disciplines seek – whenever possible – to base their actions on theory rather than fact and historical practices. This serves to improve certainty and place curricula, research, and practice on the best footing in terms of knowledge and quality. This emphasis extends to the workplaces in which professionalised disciplines are learned and practised. In healthcare, great importance is placed upon evidence-based findings to support clinical practice. Although subject to ongoing debate, the quality of research is assessed against a yardstick that culminates in a ‘gold-standard’ of clinical trials and systematic reviews. What healthcare professionals do, should, whenever possible, be based upon evidence, not ritualised practices and missives, such as “I was trained this way” and “This is how we do things here”.How to cite this article: Jones P.

Any relationship of any nature with whoever we relate to each other is needed trustworthiness or credible. The reality in the life of many cases that resulted in a loss of trust caused by the individual can not be trusted. Everyone wants to be a person who can be trusted, but not everyone can become a person who can be trusted, even more rare because it can be said that the most serious challenge to become a person that can be trusted is against yourself, because the necessary humility and courage release selfishness, and fight for the truth. This article draws empirical studies and literature, which explains about the elements needed to become a person that can be trusted. Elements of credibility related to the integrity of the character: integrity and intent, while related to the competence: capability and result, and how to improve the quality of these elements, so that eventually you can become a person who can be trusted.

Professions aimed at helping and supporting a person in a difficult situation, with their traditions and principles of assisting activities, have existed since ancient times. The main purpose of the helping professions is to improve the quality of life of the person who sought help and to activate his inner potential. The importance of existential problems and their solution in the way of the professions plays a special role, since only a harmonious person who has reached agreement with himself and the outside world can fully open up in the profession. Despite the individual specifics of each profession; regardless of the direction of his work, the helper must have not only a certain set of personal qualities and a proper level of professional knowledge, but also an understanding, awareness and acceptance of the level of responsibility that he bears for what is happening in the work process. The study describes the relationship of future aid specialists to existential problems, professional responsibility and future profession.

This article reviews and summarizes two decades of empirical literature concerned with both direct and moderating variable-based analyses of the relationship of organizational stress with job satisfaction and job performance. Moderating influences of various constructs operationalized at the individual, group and organizational level of analysis are classified and then reviewed systematically. An evaluative summary of this research suggests that although there have been significant improvements in the analytical methods employed to investigate such phenomena, much of this research still does not consider the role of reciprocal relationships that evolve over time. We provide four guidelines for improving the quality of both theoretical rigor and methodological robustness in this important area of organizational inquiry.

O conhecimento das características individuais tem grande importância no processo de ensino. Dentre essas características, a personalidade dos professores que trabalham com a Educação a Distância (EaD) é um fator que pode interferir na qualidade desse processo. Os objetivos do estudo foram analisar os traços de personalidade dos professores atuantes na Educação a Distância; verificar a relação das tarefas e funções exigidas com as características individuais e verificar como os professores se veem quanto à sua personalidade e a sua relação no desempenho das diferentes tarefas pedagógicas nos ambientes virtuais. Seis professores responderam a dois questionários: o primeiro para definir o seu traço de personalidade; o segundo, para verificar a relação da personalidade com as tarefas pedagógicas interativas. Os resultados indicaram que os professores extrovertidos optaram por tarefas com maiores demandas sociais e professores introvertidos apresentaram maiores pontuações em tarefas com demandas cognitivas. Além disso, a maioria dos professores acredita que suas características individuais podem interferir no desempenho de suas atividades. Apesar das poucas diferenças significativas, pode-se concluir que o trabalho numa equipe de Educação a Distância pode ser melhorado por meio do conhecimento dos traços de personalidade de cada professor, com tarefas sendo realizadas de acordo com suas características.Palavras-chave: Extroversão, Introversão, Personalidade, Educação a Distância. The Relation of Interactive Educational tasks with the Personality Traits of Teachers Working with Distance EducationAbstract The knowledge of individual characteristics is very important in the teaching process. Among these characteristics, the personality of teachers working with Distance Education (DE) is a factor that can affect the quality of this process. The purposes of this study were to analyze the personality traits of teachers working with Distance Education; verify the relation of tasks and functions required by this education model with the individual characteristics and examine how teachers see themselves as your personality and your relationship in the performance of different educational tasks in virtual environments. Six teachers answered two questionnaires: the first to check the personality trait; the second, to verify the relationship of personality to the interactive educational tasks. The results indicated that extrovert teachers chose jobs with greater social demands, and introvert teachers had higher scores on tasks with cognitive demands. Moreover, most teachers believe that their individual characteristics may interfere with the performance of theirs activities. Despite the few significant differences, it can be concluded that the work in a Distance Education team can be improved through knowledge of the personality traits of each teacher, with tasks being performing according to their main features.Keywords: Extroversion, Introversion, Personality, Distance Education.
