Exploring the professional values and educational needs of future and practicing mental health specialists is required to develop effective measures aiming at improving their skills and interest in their work. Our aim was to explore professional values and educational needs of mental health specialists in Russia. We conducted a survey that captured socio-demographic data, professional characteristics, professional values, and educational needs. Fisher's exact test, logistic regression, and the k-means cluster analysis were used in our statistical analysis. The survey included 133 participants, 71% of whom had completed their postgraduate education. The following items were mentioned as important professional values by the respondents: "Job opportunities", "Stimulation of intellectual activity", and "Work-life balance". The most popular options for educational activities were English language (63.4%), the principles of evidence-based medicine (63.4%), and developing skills for conducting scientific research (59.4%).In comparison with practicing specialists, respondents who had not yet completed their postgraduate education were more interested in developing their curriculum vitae (39% vs. 60%, p=0.044) and communication skills (49% vs. 77%, p=0.0048). Compared to male respondents, female respondents were more interested in developing skills in conducting scientific research (47 vs. 70%, p=0.0165).A cluster analysis showed that specialists who attached more importance to almost all professional values, in comparison to those who did not, were more interested in activities aimed at developing their research skills (64% vs. 41%, p=0.0287), learning about the principles of evidence-based medicine (70% vs. 41%, p=0.0063), and participating in journal clubs (39% vs. 11%, p=0.0193). The present study suggests that job opportunities, intellectual stimulation, and work-life balance are the most important professional values for future and practicing mental health specialists. These findings might be used as a basis for developing educational activities for mental health specialists.

Today, a number of universities and colleges offering security education has been growing rapidly for last couple of years. Most universities have adequate facilities and labs to provide hand-on experience in security courses, but some universities and colleges that initiated security courses do not have equipments and space to offer hand-on experience for the students. This is challenge for distance learning students, who reside long distance from the universities, since they are not able to receive adequate hand-on training and this may cause limited job opportunities after their graduation. Even if universities provide students with distance education those who reside long distance from the universities, students will face difficulties in job opportunities after their graduation. In this paper, we introduce our feasibility study on three-tier web portal system for distance education focusing on cyber security laboratory for students, schools, and industry. Industry as prospective employers will be one of users of the three-tier web portal system. Universities will be interacting with industry and students in delivering hands-on experience and state-of-the-art knowledge of security that will be one of strong points in education service delivery to improve students' job opportunities and efficient method of recruiting and hiring high quality workforce.

Rural and isolated areas such as those found in northern Ontario are often underserved with respect to occupational therapy. These areas present special problems for those involved in recruitment and planning recruitment programs. While it is generally recognized that practice in these areas can be both stimulating and rewarding, little is known about what factors might influence occupational therapists to choose these areas for job sites. It was the purpose of this study to investigate factors affecting job site selection and retention among occupational therapists in northern Ontario. Seven potential factors were explored: family proximity, place of origin, lifestyle, fieldwork placements, job opportunities and recruitment tours. These became the basis for the development of a questionnaire which was sent to all facilities employing occupational therapists in northern Ontario. The responses of twenty eight therapists (70%) indicated that the factors affecting job site selection were, in descending order: lifestyle, job opportunity, partner's employment and family proximity. The results also indicated that the factors influencing recruitment and retention differ. Based on the findings, recruitment efforts should focus on emphasizing the attractive features of the north and perhaps on people with family in the north. Retention incentives should include money for equipment, space, continuing education, travel, better salaries, links to educational resources and fieldwork placements.

To promote diversity within the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, we must identify factors that influence or hinder historically underrepresented minority (URM) students' persistence to degrees in STEM. We documented potential factors that influence students' persistence in an undergraduate biology program and created a 14-item, Likert-scale instrument. We recruited 137 undergraduate biology majors at a Hispanic-serving institution in Texas to report which factors they found influential in their decision to remain enrolled in their degree programs. We used a modified social cognitive career theory model of career choice to guide interpretation of the reported influences and identify patterns in responses. We documented three highly influential factors for all students: personal motivation, potential learning experiences, and job opportunities with the job opportunities showing a significant difference (P=0.036) between White and URM student groups. We also found a trend (P=0.056) indicating White students were more influenced by role models and mentors than URM students. Our findings suggest that personal motivation and potential job opportunities are the most influential factors driving students to seek educational opportunities that could lead to STEM careers. However, access to a diverse pool of role models also has the potential to provide positive impacts on student persistence in STEM.

This study was conducted to assess the perceived level of job satisfaction of Part time Instructors in Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College concerning their motivation level. The research identified the profile of the respondents concerning their age, sex, civil status, salary, educational attainment, length of service and number of trainings and seminars attended. This study aimed to evaluate motivation in terms of physiological needs, safety and security needs, social needs, self-esteem needs, self-actualization needs, work itself, advancement and job satisfaction in terms of salary and benefits, job opportunities, work recognition, working condition and supervision and among part- instructors in Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College. The study used descriptive and correlation research design. It involved the one hundred fifty-four (154) Part-time Instructors of the six campuses of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College This study used survey-questionnaire composed of three parts to gather the data needed. The first part of the questionnaire includes the profile of the Part-time Instructors of ISPSC which served as the respondents. The second part of the questionnaire consists of the level of motivation and the third part is about the Job satisfaction of the respondents. The questionnaire was collected for tabulation. Mean, standard deviation, pearson correlation coefficient, chi-square test for independence, one way annova were used to analyze the data. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: Demographic factors such as age, sex, civil status, length of service, salary and education level varies, thus, do not significantly influence their motivation and job satisfaction. Secondly, while Part-time Instructors exhibit high motivation in areas like social connections and career advancement opportunities, their motivation in physiological and safety needs is moderate. Thirdly, they express satisfaction with job opportunities and recognition but show lesser satisfaction with salary and benefits, suggesting room for improvement in compensation packages. Moreover, the study emphasizes the strong link between motivation and job satisfaction, highlighting how motivated part-time faculty tend to be more engaged and resilient. Overall, the consistently high levels of motivation and job satisfaction across ISPSC campuses reflect a positive organizational climate and effective management practices, with potential for further enhancement through fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment. The recommendations presented to the college cover a range of aspects to enhance Part-Time Instructors' experience at ISPSC. First, it is suggested that salary increases or modifications be made, maybe based on merit, in order to address particular issues raised by employees. Transparency and clear communication about such modifications should be prioritized. Second, it's critical to emphasize open and honest communication on the causes of any delays in salary, benefits, and perks. Clarity regarding compensation guidelines and career progression prospects should also be provided. Thirdly, it's important to keep work schedules flexible to meet the needs of part-time instructors in terms of both their personal and professional obligations. In order to improve teaching abilities and career advancement, it is also stressed how crucial it is for part-time faculty members to participate in organized professional development programs that include workshops and advice from seasoned faculty members. Finally, the need to continuously address motivation and job satisfaction among part-time faculty is emphasized, suggesting a focus on both addressing concerns and highlighting positive aspects of the work environment to cultivate a supportive and satisfying workplace culture.

Economic development and urbanisation have prompted many Chinese parents to move from rural to urban regions for better job opportunities. Their children, who remain behind in rural regions, become left-behind children (LBC). With absent parents, children and adolescents are unable to maintain the secure attachment required for healthy social and emotional development, increasing the risk of mental illness. This study aimed to compare risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation in LBC and non-LBC in China. Greater risks for poor mental health outcomes including worse depression, loneliness and anxiety have been identified in LBC in cross-sectional studies. Previous studies have also identified higher prevalence of bullying victimization, poorer school performance and worse school attendance amongst LBC. Findings indicate that prolonged separation from parents put LBC at greater risks of poor mental health. Policy changes to allow children to migrate with their parents and policies to reduce inequalities in job opportunities between urban and rural regions are needed.

The globalization of the higher education has resulted in the rise of private universities in Malaysia. As it is the aim of the country to be an international hub for higher education, the role of lecturers has become pivotal in the success of this industry. Literature has indicated that internal push factors such as role stress factors and attraction to various external factors may have a significant effect on employees’ turnover intention. This study examines the impact of three internal push factors--role overload, role ambiguity, role conflict--and four external pull factors--job opportunity, compensation, working location, and university image--on lecturers’ turnover intention. Data were obtained from 401 lecturers of private universities via self-administered questionnaires and were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results of this study reveal that internal role overload, role ambiguity, role conflict and external working location have a significant relationship with lecturers’ turnover intention respectively. The findings indicate that internal push factors play a much more significant role than external pull factors on lecturers’ turnover intention. Implications of the research findings were discussed.

This thesis evaluates the factors that freshman engineering students at the University of Louisville are taking into consideration when deciding on their major within engineering. The outcome of the research is expected to help to shape the syllabus of the ENGR 110 course, which is a mandatory class for all freshman engineering students. ENGR 110 is comprised of course lectures, department presentations, and company presentations. Currently, both the department and company presentations are held outside of course times. The influential factors identified by this research may help shape the course so that these factors are discussed thoroughly about each major as an aid to the decision-making process. The researcher distributed a survey and conducted interviews to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The researcher then analyzed the quantitative data using non-parametric tests and the qualitative data using a constant comparative method. Based on this analysis, the researcher concluded that there was a low level of confidence in major selection exemplifying the need for ENGR 110 to discuss the different majors within engineering and spend time discussing the differences between them. The researcher also concluded that the most influential factors in deciding upon a major are job opportunities, potential for societal contributions, and personal interests. From these conclusions, the researcher recommends that the presentations be held during class time, that the presentations continue to be posted on Blackboard to refer back to, and that the course place emphasis on the job opportunities and potential for societal contributions in each major.

Using the Current Population Survey between 1996 and 2018, this paper investigates the role constraints to migration might play in explaining racial/ethnic disparities in the labor market. The Delta Index of dissimilarity is used to illustrate a greater distributional mismatch between race/education specific workers and jobs among minorities relative to white non-Hispanics. Regression analysis then shows that this mismatch is consistent with minorities being less responsive to changes in the distribution of job opportunities. However, minorities are more responsive when the growing job opportunities are located in areas with greater same-racial/ethnic representation, suggesting that social constraints might play a role in the observed distributional mismatch. The analysis focuses on 25-54 year old men.
