Relationship Of Emotional Intelligence To Workplace Stress And Burnout In Behavior Analysts, Elia Santos

Student Dissertations

The experience of stress leading to burnout is at an all-time high in the field of behavior analysis. Increasing job demands for board-certified behavior analysts (BCBA) put newly minted BCBAs at a higher risk of burnout. The problem is that BCBAs only receive technical and clinical training to become certified. Yet, their emotional intelligence (EI), which is associated with stress and burnout, had never been examined. The purpose of this quantitative, associational study was to investigate the relationships between EI, workplace stress, and burnout in BCBAs. The theoretical framework for this study was based on Goleman’s (1995) theory of EI. …

Effects Of Self-Determination Theory (Sdt)-Based Instructional Strategies On Learner Engagement In Asynchronous Online Discussions (Aods), Qi Wu

Dissertations - ALL

Abstract Learner engagement is a malleable state influenced by various contextual factors. Prior research has identified several elements that affect engagement, including learning styles, course perception, computer self-efficacy, and a sense of presence. Furthermore, it is imperative to consider both learner engagement dimensions and environmental affordances when investigating learner engagement. This study, grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), investigates the effects of SDT-based instructional strategies on learner engagement in asynchronous online discussions (AODs). The primary aim is to examine how these strategies, designed to support learners perceived psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competence, affect behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dimensions of …

Sinaya: A Philippine Journal for Senior High School Teachers and Students

“Others, please specify” is a common option in demographic questions, like when asking respondents’ religious affiliation, that provides them “a text box to self-identify.” This study focused on the said context as it indicated the minority status of non-Catholic students in a predominantly Catholic school and underscored the distinct lived experiences of these students. The relatively small representation of non-Catholic senior high school students studying in Catholic schools piqued curiosity and prompted the need for a deeper examination of their lived experiences. This study aspired to contribute to the development of religious studies in the Philippines, particularly for non-Catholic students …

Predicting The Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (Ocbs) Of Junior High School Teachers, Alfonso B. Astudillo Iii

Sinaya: A Philippine Journal for Senior High School Teachers and Students

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational effectiveness. This study examines the predictors of OCB among junior high school teachers in the local educational context. Utilizing a quantitative approach, stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify situational and dispositional variables that predict OCB. Seventeen predictors, including situational variables (type of school, organizational climate, and organizational justice) and dispositional attributes (sex, job satisfaction, work motivation, and personality traits), were analyzed. The findings reveal that while the initial hypothesis was not fully supported, specific variables significantly predicted OCB. Teacher job satisfaction emerged as a significant predictor of …
