INTRODUCTION: Throughout history, humans have always been prone to diverse experiences with different consequences. Consequently, a wide range of reactions is inevitable due to the different effects of these events on each person despite the same conditions. Therefore, it is indispensable to manage the physical and mental impacts of these events based on their magnitude. The present study aimed to assess the role of learning positive personality traits in the promotion of generational resilience and health. METHODS: This applied research was conducted based on a comparative-causal design. The statistical population included 98 female high school students in Kerman who were selected by purposive sampling. The NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1985), the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1997), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience scale (CD-RISC) (2003) were used to collect the needed data. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test and regression analysis. FINDINGS: Based on the obtained results, learning exerted a significant effect on the promotion of the studied variables. Awareness and training on these strategies would be of great help in the development and improvement of resilience and health, as well as purposeful management of emotions in emergencies in people of all ages, especially the youth. CONCLUSION: As evidenced by the results of the present study, it can be concluded that learning and developing positive personality traits significantly reinforce them and lead to the enhancement of the resilience and health of the next generation.

Reikšminiai žodžiai: vidinė motyvacija, pasitenkinimas darbu, slaugytojai, profesinė veikla. Darbo tikslas: ištirti, kaip vidiniai motyvaciniai veiksniai susiję su slaugytojų pasitenkinimą darbu lemiančiais veiksniais. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Tyrimo imtį sudarė 186 slaugytojos, dirbančios ligoninės chirurginiuose (94 respondentės) ir terapiniuose skyriuose (92 respondentės). Slaugytojų amžius svyravo nuo 23 iki 61 metų (vidurkis 42,4 ± 8,9 metų). Aukštąjį universitetinį išsilavinimą turėjo 40, neuniversitetinį aukštąjį – 60 slaugytojų, likusios – įgijusios aukštesnįjį išsilavinimą. Tyrimui naudota anketinė anoniminė apklausa, surinkti demografiniai, socialiniai slaugytojų duomenys. Pasitenkinimas darbu tirtas naudojant P. E. Spector pasitenkinimo darbu klausimyną („The Job Satisfaction Survey“, 1997), o profesinės veiklos vidiniai motyvai tirti naudojant Profesinės veiklos motyvacijos klausimyną. Rezultatai. Bendras pasitenkinimo darbu rodiklis parodė, kad slaugos darbuotojų pasitenkinimas darbu yra vidutinis (gauta balų suma 123,69, o skalės vidurkis – 126 balai). Slaugytojos yra labiau patenkintos geru vadovavimu, bendradarbiais, darbo pobūdžiu ir komunikacija, mažiau – atlyginimu, karjeros galimybėmis, papildomomis lengvatomis, galimais apdovanojimais ir darbo sąlygomis. Svarbiausias profesinės veiklos vidinis motyvas – asmenybės įsitvirtinimas darbe. Išvados. Slaugytojų bendras pasitenkinimas darbu yra vidutinis. Esant didesniam slaugytojų amžiui, darbo stažui ir krūviui, pasitenkinimas darbu siejamas su geresniu atlyginimu, papildomomis lengvatomis, o jaunesnio amžiaus slaugytojų – su karjeros galimybėmis, santykiais su bendradarbiais. Svarbiausias profesinės veiklos vidinis motyvas yra įsitvirtinti kolektyve, kuris ypač stiprus aukštesnįjį ir aukštąjį neuniversitetinį išsilavinimą turinčioms bei dirbančioms chirurgijos skyriuose slaugytojoms. Profesinio meistriškumo motyvai svarbesni aukštąjį universitetinį išsilavinimą turinčioms slaugytojoms. Kuo stipresnis asmenybės įsitvirtinimas darbo kolektyve, tuo didesnis pasitenkinimas darbu ir jo pobūdžiu. Silpnesnė asmeninio įnašo ir profesinio meistriškumo vidinė motyvacija didino pasitenkinimą bendradarbiais, lengvatomis ir apdovanojimais.

Structural models of personality traits, particularly the five-factor model (FFM), continue to inform ongoing debates regarding what personality attributes and trait domains are central to psychopathy. A growing body of literature has linked the constructs of the triarchic model of psychopathy (boldness, meanness, disinhibition) to the FFM. Recently, researchers developed both item and regression-based measures of the triarchic model of psychopathy using the NEO Personality Inventory–Revised—a popular measure of the FFM. The current study examines the correlates of these two FFM-derived operationalizations of the triarchic model using data from the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study. The two approaches had strong convergent validity coefficients and similar patterns of criterion-related validity coefficients. Meanness related to greater personality pathology characterized by exploitation of others and poor attachment, whereas disinhibition related to indicators of greater negative affect and poor behavioral constraint. Boldness related to reduced negative affect and greater narcissistic personality traits. Although the item and regression-based approaches showed similar patterns of associations with criterion-variables, the item-based approach has some practical and psychometric advantages over the regression-based approach given strong correlations between the meanness and disinhibition scores from the regression approach.

Nurses have long working hours with high psychological burdens. In addition, in the emergency department, nurses are required to quickly adapt emotionally. The aim of this study was to describe and relate emotional intelligence (EI) skills of emergency nurses, their body mass index (BMI) and sleep quality. For this purpose, a cross-sectional was carried out in which the perceived emotional intelligence test and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index were applied. Sixty-two emergency nurses (48 women and 14 men) participated. The results indicated that the majority of them present adequate levels of EI, with no differences by gender. Younger nurses showed a better ability to feel, express and understand emotional states than the older ones, while the ability to regulate emotional states occurred in the opposite way. Nurses who have been working for several years showed a better ability to regulate emotions than those with less experience. Those who were overweight grade II and obese type I expressed their feelings better, also the regulation of emotional states decreased as weight increased. Finally, it has been observed that the quality of sleep of emergency nurses is significantly altered, and that this lack of sleep may affect their ability to process emotions.

The primary concern of this paper is to investigatethe extent to which three variables (i.e. personality traits, demographic variables, and job satisfaction) are interrelated with each other and what effect they have on each other in relation to the UK retail sector. The four different types of retail stores i.e. Tesco, Primark, Ikea and WH Smith were selected for survey purpose to minimise the class biasness.Total 300 close-ended questionnaires were distributed and 220 responses were obtained.The findings reveal that ‘Neuroticism’ is negatively associated with job satisfaction as well as with ‘Extraversion’. However, it is positively correlated with other three personality groups including ‘Agreeableness’, ‘Conscientious’, and ‘Openness’. On the other hand, ‘Openness to experience’ has a negative relationship with ‘Agreeableness’.It is also found from the ranking analysis that employees with ‘Agreeableness’ and ‘Conscientiousness’ personalities are more successful in their career and consequently they are more satisfied with their jobs.
