The Value Of Deliberative Democratic Practices To Civic Education, Brooke M. Shannon
The Value Of Deliberative Democratic Practices To Civic Education, Brooke M. Shannon
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
The causal relationship between measures of deliberative democratic practices and quality of citizen participation were examined using selected variables from the International Association for the Evaluation of Education Achievement's (IEA) 1999 Civic Education Study (CivEd). Logit regression for survey data was used to analyze whether a causal relationship existed between two indicators of deliberative democratic practices and a total of four measures of both current and expected student participation using data from three countries, the United States, England, and Australia. One independent variable, the degree to which students believed their teachers encouraged discussion of controversial political or social issues, had …
The Relationship Between Burnout And Engagement: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Gene Michael Alarcon
The Relationship Between Burnout And Engagement: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Gene Michael Alarcon
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
Researchers have purported that burnout and engagement measure the same three latent constructs, energy, identification, and efficacy at work, but few have actually researched the theory (Maslach & Leiter, 1997; Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004). Burnout has been consistently related to workplace demands such as emotional labor (Brotheridge & Grandey, 2002; Brotheridge & Lee, 2002). The current study investigated whether burnout and engagement are comprised of energy, identification, and efficacy in a sample with high demands for emotional labor. A confirmatory factor analysis suggested that burnout and engagement might in fact be separate second order latent constructs comprised of only two …
Cognitive Ability, Job Knowledge, And Stereotype Threat: When Does Adverse Impact Result?, Mark V. Palumbo
Cognitive Ability, Job Knowledge, And Stereotype Threat: When Does Adverse Impact Result?, Mark V. Palumbo
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
This research compared the efficacy of a cognitive ability test and two types of job knowledge tests for predicting job performance. Further, I examined job knowledge as a mechanism through which cognitive ability affects performance. Finally, I examined both types of tests relative to specific propositions from stereotype threat theory. Specifically, I examined the propositions that perceptions of the tests may cause mean score differences between Blacks and Whites and compared the effects of test perceptions relative to both test types. Results demonstrated that job knowledge accounted for significantly more variance in task performance than cognitive ability. Furthermore, job knowledge …
