Abstract Background In the Chinese education sector, educators’ job satisfaction (JoS) is considered critical to educational quality and student outcomes. One critical area of inquiry is the organizational climate (OC) and its impact on JoS, and psychological well-being (PW), with technological influence (TI) moderating effect. Purpose The current study has tried to look at the exact relationship among OC, PW, and JoS for educators working in the Chinese higher education setting. It also discusses the moderating role of TI on OC and JoS. Design/methodology This study uses a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, grounded in post-positivism assumptions. Data collection involved sampling 690 respondents in the Chinese higher education setting via WeChat. Findings The study methodology part included a pre-test, translation validation, demographic characteristics of participants, and results that showed a significant positive influence on JoS for PW and OC. The study also confirms the positive effect of PW on JoS. Moreover, the mediating role of PW within the OC–JoS link is also supported. Furthermore, TI positively moderates the OC–JoS relationship, thus it implies a supportive role of technology in enhancing the educators’ satisfaction. The model indicated that OC, PW, and TI explain 72.4% of the variation in JoS. Conclusion In this respect, the findings offer some practical insights for educational institutions and policymakers to facilitate enhancement strategies for OC, thus recognizing its influence on JoS and the well-being of educators. Understanding how technology can play a moderating role presents the strategic occasion to utilize technological tools for a more satisfying work environment.

All participants in education are impacted by the internet's advanced technology. The responsibilities of both teachers and students will shift from conventional learning to more technology involved in Online Learning (OL). The majority of educational institutes and schools in India have shifted to digital classrooms and OL platforms. Nevertheless, it is determined that the parents' and pupils' perceptions and faith in OL need to be examined, which further signifies the necessity for an adequate understanding of technology and e-learning services. So, this study's goal is to comprehend the consumer's perception including students and parents in India towards perceiving and embracing online schooling services. As of 400 respondents from various socioeconomic classes, the data has been gathered. The outcome was analyzed using a mixed-method approach. According to this study, the online education process was widely accepted and highly satisfied by the majority of Indian parents and children. It also discovered that the trust towards the respondent's OL was yet high and the improvement of a robust digital infrastructure was driven by the rising preference for eLearning, Covid-19, and technological advancement.

In today's dynamic and ever-growing business world, organizations have to adopt every possible move to remain competitive. One such move, organizations have at their disposal, is talent management. Talent management helps an organization to identify and fill the key positions via attracting, developing, succession planning, and retaining the talented individuals to improve its overall performance. This research was intended to investigate the impact of talent management on the innovation performance of an organization. The study assumed that an effective talent management system can improve the innovation performance. Moreover, we were also interested to unveil the underlying mechanism through which innovation performance gets affected by talent management. Hence, we used psychological empowerment as the mediating variable, and knowledge observability as the moderating variables to examine the said relationship. It was a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 1092 respondents. Data was obtained from 24 public sector (general) universities, in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, with the help of a self-administered standardized questionnaire. The results of the study demonstrated that talent management had a significant positive effect on innovation performance. Likewise, psychological empowerment was found to mediate the association between talent management and innovation performance. Moreover, knowledge observability was found to have a moderating (strengthening) effect on the relationship of talent management and innovation performance. The study also provides viable recommendations for managers to improve the innovation performance of their organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The protection of lives and property remains the cardinal responsibility of the government and the hallmark for the existence of critical sectors like education, health, social infrastructure and the entire economy. However, the Nigerian state has experienced an increasing rate of internal insecurity in the Northeastern part of Nigeria, which has significantly negatively impacted the basic education sub-sector between 2014 and 2020 in the Northeast despite the government's efforts to fight insecurity. These internal security challenges have led to the destruction of schools and the abduction of secondary school students and teachers by bandits and Boko Haram in Northeast Nigeria. Systems theory was adopted as the theoretical framework for this study. The expository qualitative method of inquiry was used for data collection, which entails the in-depth acquisition of documentary material, and the data was analysed using the content analysis technique. The study found, among others, that accessibility and affordability of basic education have retrogressed due to the insecurity in the Northeast, which undermines the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in education by 2030. To curb these challenges, the study recommends that the Federal Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the government of Northeastern states, should recruit and train armed education marshals to offer security surveillance in schools.

Theoretical novelty consists in justifying the need to integrate the activities of educational organizations and allocating the organizational structure of an educational organization by type of organization based on knowledge as preferable in an unstable socio-economic environment. Practical significance lies in the fact that a set of measures focused on the development of RTSU is proposed and a vector for the development of educational organizations is formed in the context of their international integration.Conclusions. Scientific and educational cooperation: between Russia and Tajikistan is mutually beneficial for each of the parties. Assessment of the current situation and justification of proposals for the further development of relations between these countries made it possible to identify the vector of their transformations. For Russia and Tajikistan, the connection of education with the changes taking place in each of the countries is important. Since these changes are dynamic, continuous vocational education should play a significant role. For more effective implementation of continuing vocational education, work on career guidance is necessary, which is well combined with a dual education system that provides for close cooperation with companies, as well as the development of additional vocational education that actively responds to changes in the labor market. Positive results can be achieved only in the context of the active development of modern computer technologies, providing for interactivity, visualization, the use of case stages, mini-research, design work, as well as the possibility of hybrid learning. With this approach, the quality of comprehensive interdisciplinary research and development increases. It is recommended to form an organizational structure of an educational organization according to the type of organization based on knowledge, which is preferable in an unstable socioeconomic environment. The basis for the implementation of proposals for the further development of scientific and educational relations between Russia and Tajikistan is social partnership, as an instrument for regulating social and labor relations.

The purpose of the article is to study the direction of training young specialists through the professional development of academic staff in the field of education. The areas that require regular research, updating and professional development from specialists based on the analysis of the areas of work of teachers of higher education institutions were identified. The main key competencies for lifelong learning have been identified. The training courses offered to teachers and academic staff at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv were presented. Skills are proposed for mastering as the main learning outcome for the academic staff of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. The training courses and programs offered by SoftServe have been identified by the monitoring of opportunities for practical training of teachers. For higher education institutions, professional development for academic staff is a mandatory element of the education quality assurance system and can take place through participation in master classes, seminars, trainings, webinars, and workshops. It has been established that academic staff, given the workload and challenges they face in terms of professional development and maintaining mental and emotional health, should receive professional help and support. Professional supervision can be helpful, which can help both individually and within the university. We believe that for academic staff to perform their tasks effectively, higher education institutions should provide them with quality material and technical support, and opportunities for continuous learning and development. A well-designed educational program will be the key to success for its developers, higher education institutions, students, and employers. It is necessary to create an environment of periodic discussion with employers of existing educational programs and their main components, which will allow timely making of important adjustments in response to important problems and topical issues. The principles by which the educational program is developed have been identified. The criteria for self-assessment and accreditation of educational programs have been formed.

Summary: Decision making in public health often happens against the background of scarce resources. The systematic use of economic evaluations can be a main enabler in the alignment of public health goals with budgetary constraints. However, the lack of standardized methodology in terms of costing method and perspective are a critical barrier to the implementation of economic evaluations and the international comparability of results. We present a novel set of 22 reference unit costs (RUCs) optimized for cross-sectoral economic evaluations in Austria suitable for international comparability calculated using the standardized PECUNIA RUC Template. The common framework for costing and reporting, as well as the easy availability of the RUCs will reduce the burden on researchers and policy makers in future economic evaluations. The higher quality, accuracy, transparency and availability of economic evidence for policy design will help to improve the efficiency of public health-relevant healthcare decisions and make it easier for policy makers to bring funding arrangements and decision making across multiple sectors in line with Health-in-All-Policies goals.
