Predictive Validity Of Person-Environment Fit On The Hiring Desirability Of Software Engineers, Lucija Velican
Predictive Validity Of Person-Environment Fit On The Hiring Desirability Of Software Engineers, Lucija Velican
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Person-environment (P-E) fit, particularly in recruitment, has gained significant attention, expanding beyond the traditional focus on job-applicant compatibility to include alignment with team and organizational dynamics. Despite its importance, there is no consensus on how to effectively measure this fit, which limits its predictive power for employee outcomes. This quantitative correlational study addressed this gap by examining the predictive validity of congruence between candidates’ psychological characteristics and various facets of the work environment among software engineers. Drawing on Schneider’s attraction-selection-attrition model, the study examined congruence at multiple levels (candidate-team, candidate-leader, and candidate-role) and its influence on hiring desirability. Secondary data …

Teachers’ Perspectives Regarding Achievement Gaps For Low Socioeconomic Status Special Education Students, Julius Njabebuh
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The problem addressed was that academic achievement gaps existed for low socioeconomic status (SES) family special education students among special education students in United States schools. This problem was important because it negatively affected equity in education as low SES community special education students lagged behind more affluent community special education students. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate secondary teachers' perspectives on how low SES influenced learning for special education students from such communities, thereby creating an achievement gap for the students. The theoretical framework that supported the study was Bandura's social cognitive learning theory. The research …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Social workers, clinicians, and mental health professionals commonly work to positively influence their client’s lives. Social workers specifically abide by the principle of pursuing social change for vulnerable populations. As suicide remains one of the top mental health concerns worldwide, the suicide-loss population continues to grow. Suicide loss is a social problem that affects all cultures and impacts individuals and communities. The suicide-loss population is vulnerable with seemingly limited research-based interventions and resources. The research addressed how clinicians describe the availability and benefit of community resources at each system level. This study was guided by systems theory, which allows clinicians …

Exploring South Texas Teachers’ Perceptions Of Challenges Implementing Blended Learning Into Their Classrooms, Lisa Mischelle Watts
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Blended learning (BL), also known as hybrid or flipped classroom learning, is a method that involves both traditional face-to-face teaching and online media instruction. The problem experienced in South Texas school districts (STSD), despite research showing evidence of the BL model’s benefits, is that some teachers are struggling to implement BL into their classrooms. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore STSD teachers’ perceptions of the challenges and support needed to incorporate BL into their classrooms. The conceptual frameworks that supported this study were Davis’s technology acceptance model and Bloom’s digital taxonomy. For this basic qualitative design, six …

Barriers And Facilitators To Culturally Appropriate Cancer Health Education For Kenyan Immigrants In Washington State, Rael Kobe Odengo
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Access to culturally linguistically appropriate services, such as cancer information in languages other than English that consider a group's cultural beliefs, traditions, values, and practices, is increasingly recognized as a global health communication priority. However, African immigrants face significant barriers to accessing these resources, making it difficult for them to make informed healthcare decisions. Grounded in the conceptual framework of the Andersen behavioral model of health care utilization and the social determinants of health, the purpose of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators to accessing culturally appropriate cancer health education by Kenyan immigrants in Washington State. The …

Home And Community-Based Case Manager Job Satisfaction During The Covid-19 Public Health Emergency, Timothy Frederick Conroy
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
There is limited information on the impact on Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) case managers’ job satisfaction as COVID-19 policies altered the way their jobs were performed. Many HCBS case managers in the United States experience high levels of turnover and burnout, resulting in difficulty maintaining appropriate service levels. Public health emergency (PHE) policies used to limit exposure of high-risk community-based individuals to COVID-19 resulted in various adjustments to traditional job responsibilities. The purpose of this research was to qualitatively study the impact of HCBS policy changes on the job satisfaction of HCBS case managers prior to and throughout the …

Staff Education To Use The Mental Health Risk Assessment Tool, Nkeiruka Okwuoma Okonkwo
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Suicide/self-harm continues to be one of the most common sentinel events that could result in significant harm or death especially among mental health patients (Mills et al., 2020). Environmental hazards seem to be the primary contributing factor in patient suicide and self-harm cases. Thus, patient suicide remains a safety concern, especially in mental health facilities. It is important that nurses have the knowledge to prevent, identify, assess, and respond appropriately whenever they encounter patients at risk for suicide/self-harm. This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) staff education project focused on educating staff on how to use the Mental Health Environmental Risk …
