Amaç: Günümüzde eğiticilerden birer öğrenen yoldaşı olmaları, öğrenmeyi yönlendiren başarılı rehberler olmaları beklenmektedir. Diğer yandan öğrenenlerden de kendi öğrenmelerine yön verebilen, eğitiminin paydaşı olabilen, kendi eğitimi üzerinde söz sahibi olması gereken, öğrenmedeki ihtiyaçlarını gerçekçi biçimde görebilen bireyler olması beklenmektedir. Bu bağlamda öğrenenlerin akademik başarıya yönelimi, motivasyonu, özyönelimli öğrenme gibi özellikleri ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın itici gücü ve hareket noktası öğrencilerinin motivasyonel kararlılık düzeyleri, özyönelimli öğrenme hazırbulunuşluk düzeyleri ve başarı yönelimlerinin belirlenmesi, bunlar arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir.Yöntem: Betimleyici özelliğinin yanında ilişkisel karşılaştırma türünde yapılandırılmış olan bu araştırmada, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dönem I’den Dönem VI’ya 780 öğrenci ile çalışılmıştır. Veriler “Motivasyonel Kararlılık”, “2X2 Başarı Yönelimleri” ve “Özyönetimli Öğrenmeye Hazırbulunuşluk” ölçekleriyle elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici istatistiklerin yanında korelasyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır.Bulgular: Tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin büyük oranda amaç yönelimli olduğu, performans yöneliminin ise nispeten daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin motivasyonel kararlılık düzeyleri orta düzeydedir. Genel olarak özyönelimli öğrenme hazırbulunuşluk düzeyleri yüksektir. Öğrencilerin başarı yönelimi, motivasyonel kararlılık ve özyönelimli öğrenme hazırbulunuşluğu birbiriyle pozitif ve anlamlı ilişki içerisindedir. Öğrencilerin öğrenim gördükleri dönem öğrenme yaklaşma, öğrenme kaçınma, performans kaçınma, ulaşılamayan hedefleri yineleme, öğrenme isteği ve öz kontrol düzeylerini farklılaştırmıştır. Öğrenim görülen dönem performans yaklaşma, uzun vadeli hedefleri takip, mevcut hedefleri takip ve özyönelim düzeylerinde farklılaşma yaratmamıştır.Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin performans amaç yöneliminden çok öğrenmeye odaklı amaç yönelimine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Dönem VI’da motivasyonel kararlılık düzeyi diğer dönemlere göre daha düşüktür. Benzer biçimde en yüksek özyönelimli öğrenme hazırbulunuşluğu Dönem III, en düşük ise Dönem VI öğrencilerindedir. Öğrenme yaklaşma başarı yönelimi ile yüksek düzeyde pozitif ilişki gösteren özellikler öğrenme isteği ve özkontroldür. Öğrenme kaçınma başarı yönelimi ile yüksek düzeyde pozitif ilişki gösteren özellikler performans kaçınmadır. Performans kaçınma başarı yönelimi ile performans yaklaşma yönelimi yüksek ilişki göstermektedir. Uzun vadeli hedefleri takip ile yüksek düzeyde pozitif ilişki gösteren özellikler mevcut hedefleri takip, ulaşılmayan hedefleri yineleme, özyönelim ve öğrenme isteğidir. Mevcut hedefleri takip ile yüksek düzeyde pozitif ilişki içinde olan özellikler ulaşılmayan hedefleri yineleme, özyönelim, öğrenme isteği ve özkontroldür. Özyönelim ile öğrenme isteği ve özkontrol yüksek pozitif ilişki içerisindedir. Öğrenme isteği ile özkontrol yüksek pozitif ilişki içerisindedir. Araştırma bulguları literatür ile benzeşen yönler gösterdiği gibi farklılaşan yönler de sergilemiştir., Aim: Nowadays educators are expected to be learners' companions and to guide directing learning successfully. Moreover, learners are expected to be individuals who can direct their own learning, be a stakeholder in their education, have a say in their own education, and understand their learning needs realistically. In this context, the features of learners such as orientation to academic success, motivation, and self-directed learning come to the fore. The driving force and starting point of this research is to determine students' motivational persistence levels, self-directed learning readiness levels and success orientations, and to examine the relationships between them.Methods This research is designed with descriptive method along with relational method. 780 students from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine, from Term I to Term VI joined the study. The data were obtained with the "Motivational Determination", "2X2 Achievement Orientations" and "Readiness for Self-directed Learning" scales. In the analysis of the data, correlation analysis was used in addition to descriptive statistics.Results: Medical students were mostly goal-oriented while their performance orientation was relatively low. Medical students’ motivational stability level is moderate. Medical students’ self-directed learning readiness level is relatively high. Medical students’ success orientation, motivational stability and self-directed learning readiness are positively and significantly related to each other. Medical students’ approach learning, avoidance learning, performance avoidance, revision of the goals which have not been achieved, willingness to learn, and self-control differ according to the period they study. Medical students’ performance approach, pursuing long-term goals, pursuing current goals and self-direction did not differ according to the period they study.Conclusion: The results of the study showed that medical school students have a learning-oriented goal orientation rather than a performance goal orientation. In period VI, the level of motivational stability is lower than in other periods. Similarly, the highest self-directed learning readiness of students is in Term III and the lowest in Term VI. The characteristics that show a high level of positive correlation with the learning approach are willingness to learn and self-control. Performance approach is the trait that is highly positively correlated with learning avoidance achievement orientation. Performance avoidance achievement orientation and performance approach orientation show a high correlation. Characteristics that are highly positively associated with pursuing long-term goals are pursuing current goals, repeating unachieved goals, self-management, and a willingness to learn. Characteristics that are highly positively associated with pursuing current goals are repetition of unattained goals, self-management, willingness to learn, and self-control. Self-management and willingness to learn and self-control have a high positive relationship. The desire to learn and self-control are in a highly positive relationship. Research findings showed similarities with the literature as well as different aspects.

Objectives The current study contributes to the field's limited knowledge about the sociopolitical consequences of internalized Model Minority Myth (MMM) among Asian Americans. In particular, we examine how the MMM serves as a legitimizing ideology, in which the perpetuation of beliefs about society as fair ultimately maintain racial inequality. Methods Using path analysis with 251 Asian American college students, we tested a model linking internalized MMM (i.e., attitudes towards Asian Americans as achievement oriented and as having unrestricted mobility, compared to other racial minorities) to anti-Black attitudes and opposition to affirmative action for Black Americans. We examined direct effects of internalized MMM on such outcomes, as well as indirect effects through other legitimizing ideologies, including just world beliefs and racial colorblindness. Results Findings demonstrated that greater levels of internalized MMM among Asian American college students predicted greater anti-Black attitudes and opposition to affirmative action. Greater internalized MMM achievement orientation and unrestricted mobility also directly predicted greater just world beliefs and colorblindness. Results from our test of indirect effects showed that internalized MMM achievement orientation and unrestricted mobility both indirectly predicted opposition to affirmative action through colorblindness, and unrestricted mobility also indirectly predicted anti-Black attitudes through colorblindness. Also, achievement orientation and unrestricted mobility indirectly predicted anti-Black attitudes through just world beliefs. Conclusions Our findings have implications for research and practice that promotes awareness of and seeks to challenge the MMM, anti-Blackness, and beliefs about affirmative action among Asian Americans.

El desempeño laboral está siendo estudiada en terrenos que van desde la satisfacción laboral hasta el clima organizacional. Esta situación lo ha distorsionado en un tema que no es abordado como principal objetivo, sino asociada a distintos factores, como: efectividad, adaptabilidad al trabajo, comunicación, relaciones interpersonales, gestión administrativa, rendimiento laboral. Debido a ello, se plantea el objetivo de analizar los artículos científicos latinoamericanos, que se encuentran publicadas en bases de datos ScieLO, EBSCO, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Latindex, REDIB, Redalyc, CLASE, DOAJ, ROAD y Dialnet, de los años 2015 al 2021, basada a temas asociados al desempeño laboral. En la investigación se realizó una revisión sistemática bibliográfica de 27 artículos de países latinoamericanos. Como resultados destacados salta a luz que los temas más estudiados son aquel relacionado al trabajo en equipo ligado a la eficiencia, orientación al logro y los relacionados con los factores antes mencionado que influyen y mejoran el desempeño laboral.

Las empresas afrontan circunstancias internas y de su entorno que explican su permanencia o desaparición en el mercado. Este artículo se propone determinar el valor predictivo de la permanencia en las Pymes dedicadas a la elaboración de productos de panadería y tortillas en el noroeste de México. Se partió de un diseño no experimental y descriptivo causal con muestreo probabilístico estratificado con una muestra seleccionada de 180 propietarios de Pymes localizadas en Hermosillo, Sonora, México. El levantamiento de datos se realizó en los meses de octubre de 2018 a febrero de 2019. Posteriormente, se ensayaron procedimientos de regresión logística para evaluar la capacidad predictiva del factor permanencia. El modelo mostró cómo la toma de decisiones posee una mayor aportación explicativa en la permanencia, seguida de empoderamiento, adaptabilidad, emprendimiento, solución de conflictos y orientación al logro. Se concluye el valor predictivo de la permanencia en función del liderazgo. Finalmente, se enlistan algunos alcances y limitaciones para el sector alimentario local.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the motivations of social entrepreneurs in East Africa to create a social enterprise and their identified links to successful social entrepreneurship in East Africa.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employed a qualitative method by performing thematic analysis on a set of interviews on social entrepreneurs from East Africa who are Ashoka fellows.FindingsThe findings suggest that intense personal experiences linked to past-life events as well as a high achievement orientation towards improving livelihoods and creating impact serve as key triggers for social entrepreneurship. Successful entrepreneurship focusses on system change at national and local levels. Their success is also seen when the social entrepreneurs have achieved their mission and are no longer needed; thus, they become irrelevant. The paper discusses the implications of these findings on the model used for sustainable social entrepreneurship in East Africa.Practical implicationsBased on an exploratory research on Ashoka fellows, the study adds insight to their motivations and success which can be used in a wider scale study of the same.Originality/valueThe authors advance the scarce empirical research on East African social entrepreneurs, link success factors of social entrepreneurship to a recent framework on motivation to engage in social entrepreneurship and stimulate further research in the area. The study contributes to the literature on social entrepreneurship by linking success factors of social entrepreneurship to a recent framework on motivation to engage in social entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship has become very popular in the recent times and people are pursuing opportunities for new venture creation in different sectors. The phenomenon of “female entrepreneurship” is gaining wide popularity worldwide and now the interest of women in carrying out entrepreneurial activities is also increasing owing to the female empowerment in societies. The female entrepreneurs are highly affected by social, personality and institutional factors that motivate and encourage them in their entrepreneurial activities. The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of social support, financial support, entrepreneurial knowledge and achievement orientation on female entrepreneurial intention along with the mediating impact of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. For this purpose, the data was collected from 311 respondents from China and 311 from Pakistan through the administration of questionnaire. SPSS and AMOS were used for analysis and structural equation modelling has been used. The results have suggested that in case of China, all independent variables have significant impacts on female entrepreneurial intention but in case of Pakistan, financial support does not have the significant impact on female entrepreneurial intention. On the other hand, in case of China, the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy is significant in all cases, but in case of Pakistan, this mediating role is not significant in case of entrepreneurial knowledge.

This research is a quantitative discretive research. According to Sugiono (2010), quantitative descriptions are research by drawing a conclusion from the data tabulated in the form of frequency distribution tables. The location of this research is at PT Mitra Beton Mandiri (MBM), Pekanbaru Riau City. The sample sample is 67 people. The results showed bbased on the total average value of the leadership recapitulation results, it is known that the respondent's response to the statement on the leadership variable is agree with the average value of 3.95%. From these data it can be seen that the leadership is good. Based on the average value of the performance recapitulation results, it is known that the respondent's response to the statement on the performance variable is in agreement with the average value of 4.00%. From these data it can be concluded that the employee's performance is good. Based on the results of the recapitulation of the leadership variable with the lowest average score for the tenth question with an average score of 3.83, which is for the achievement orientation indicator. Based on the results of the recapitulation of performance variables with the lowest average score for the eleventh question with an average score of 3.90, namely for the Communication indicator.

IGNITE, a high school-based programme, was developed for high ability underachievers using the Achievement Orientation Model (AOM), Maker Model, and Bibliotherapy in a mainstream setting. This paper reports on the effects discovered while implementing the programme over the course of 2 years. Year 7 (13 year olds) and Year 9 (15 year olds) students were trained to use the two interventions, incorporating one of these interventions to challenge their learning in the classroom. The programme for each cohort lasted approximately 10 weeks. Identification alone appeared to increase academic self-efficacy for many of these underachievers. Students were empowered by the student agency involved which supports many of the AOM’s assertions, in particular, environmental perceptions and goal valuation. The interventions, Maker Model and Bibliotherapy, should be used concurrently to produce self-directed students and reduce underachievement in high ability students as they appear to target different factors in the Achievement Orientation Model.

Mentoring is related to young adults’ career planning. The present study attempts to examine whether the perception of future work selves could be a critical mediating mechanism underlying the relationship between the reception of mentoring functions and job search behaviors. Moreover, we also investigated the moderating role of achievement orientation on this relationship. We tested our hypotheses with a time-lagged research design. Results indicated that psychosocial mentoring was related to future work selves, and future work selves were associated with job search behaviors. Future work selves mediated the relationship between psychosocial mentoring and job search behaviors. Moreover, achievement orientation moderated the direct and indirect effects of psychosocial function on job search behaviors. Specifically, the aforementioned relationships were stronger when achievement orientation was high compared to when achievement orientation was low. Important theoretical and practical implications for mentoring and career research are discussed in the current study.

This paper aimed to gauge the MUET students’ report-writing dispositions and achievement orientation as well as examine the influence of selected demographic variables on these two variables. The research was conducted on two groups of MUET students (79 students) in a government secondary school in Kuching. The findings indicated that the multi-item writing disposition and achievement orientation were reliable. These two variables were having a weak association. The report-writing dispositions of the surveyed MUET students were generally low, but their achievement orientations were satisfactory. The demographic variables had significant influences on their report-writing disposition, but not their achievement orientations.

Purpose This study aims to identify the competencies of small- and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) entrepreneurs in the software sector and the perceived level of attainment in each competency. It also examines whether these competencies and their levels affect business turnover and growth (in terms of business scale and duration). Design/methodology/approach To accomplish this purpose, the study took a quantitative approach, involving a survey of 33 SME entrepreneurs, which was then processed using statistical tests, including chi-square test, Kruskal–Wallis test and ordinal regression. Findings There were four findings of the study. Firstly, software SME entrepreneurs need 17 competencies, with high levels of soft competencies being required and average levels of technical competencies. Secondly, there are significant differences in perceived levels of customer service orientation (p = 0.089) depending on the scale of the business and in perceived levels of project management (p = 0.087) depending on the duration of the business. Thirdly, customer service orientation (p = 0.031) and project management (p = 0.01) both have a significant influence on business revenues. Fourthly, there were significant gaps in perceived levels of competency (p < 0.05) in achievement orientation, customer service orientation and project management. Originality/value There is existing research that conducts competency mappings at the managerial level in large-scale organizations; however, this sort of research in relation to SME entrepreneurs is still lacking. The present study seeks to fill this gap. It also maps integrated entrepreneurial competencies, including soft and technical competencies; a focus that is lacking in previous studies.

This article examines historical context shaping the achievement gap while considering school choice. Students in low performing districts are often labeled as unmotivated or not achievement oriented. These assertions are upheld by citing attendance rates, graduation rates, and achievement data. This research article demonstrates that a sample of students in a low performing district has similarly aligned attitudes and self-reported behaviors related to achievement and success as a neighboring affluent district. Differences appear when students reflect upon safety and resources. This article demonstrates that public education works when the right resources are in place; so why push minorities out of their neighborhood schools toward charters and magnets rather than bolster and make equitable the existing system?

Genc, Volkan/0000-0001-5887-0568, WOS: 000521185600001, Purpose the purpose of this paper is to provide guidance regarding the satisfaction of customer needs in the competitive restaurant industry. Restaurants have seen a transformation in employees' labor, changing from primarily physical and mental to emotional and aesthetic dimensions. in this study, the effect of managers' emotional and social competence (ESC) on the aesthetic labor of service and kitchen employees has been investigated. Design/methodology/approach Empirical data was collected from employees and managers of a restaurant chain. Structural equation modeling was the main analytical tool used to assess the results. Findings the findings indicated that managers' ESC affected the aesthetic labor of their service (aesthetic traits (AT), aesthetic requirements and service encounters) and kitchen (AT, aesthetic creativity and aesthetic harmony ) employees. Achievement orientation and adaptability were among the dimensions of emotional competence that contributed the most to aesthetic labor. the most significant elements of social competence were inspiring leadership and conflict management. Practical implications - the study suggests that managers can improve the aesthetic performance of their employees by using their ESC. Originality/value This is the first study of this kind to include kitchen employees while considering the effects of restaurant managers' ESC on aesthetic labor. the findings indicate the importance of the ESC of managers in improving the aesthetic labor of employees.

Purpose of the study: Human resources are the main factor of competitive advantage in an organization, so the quality of employees becomes essential. This study aims to identify distinctive competencies for managerial and non-managerial levels in the fashion industry. Different job level needs a different level of skills and it shows the variation in training needs. Methodology: This research was done using qualitative studies with structured literature review and semi-structured interviews with managers as a preliminary stage. The primary research was done through a survey method using questionnaires distributed to 200 employees in a fashion company. Result: The result shows that there were nine different competencies needed by managerial and non-managerial level, namely (1) Achievement orientation, (2) Concern for order, (3) Information seeking, (4) Relationship building, (5) Developing others, (6) Teamwork, (7) Team leadership, (8) Analytical thinking, and (9) Sense of humor. Besides, it was found that both positions need Entrepreneurial thinking and Innovation management competencies at a similar level of importance. This similarity shows that all levels of employees must own the intrapreneurship spirit in the company because the product and business innovation can come from all employees. Applications of this study: Differences in competency requirements at managerial and non-managerial levels will have an impact on variations in the needs pf employee training and development. For example, in achievement orientation competency, training for the managerial level is directed not only to meet targets but to the possibility of creating new business opportunities. Novelty/Originality of this study: The result of the literature study shows that many previous studies have identified competency models in the creative industries. Still, only a few have identified in detail the differences in intrapreneur competency needs at managerial and non-managerial levels.

Physical attractiveness is increasingly framed as a meritocratic good that involves individual benefits, such as higher wages or success in the partner market. Investing in one’s physical appearance is thereby seen as a means to increase one’s human capital. While the positive effects are well documented, its counterpart, the dark side of physical appearance, has received much less attention from social science research. This article sheds light on the negative effects of physical appearance using a theoretical framework based on the cultural sociology of Bourdieu, integrating both structure and agency perspectives. Using data from the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) from 2014, we demonstrate that unattractiveness is socially stratified by economic, cultural, and social capital. The article highlights the relevance of cultural factors (e.g. forms of cultural capital and cultural practices) for the analysis of the interplay between physical appearance and stratification as well as the relevance of physical appearance for cultural sociology.
