The Ministry of Education Malaysia aims to develop an educational system that is capable in improving achievement and innovation. This goal requires high commitment and precision from all parties, especially teachers that play the main role in educational institutions. Thus, a positive school climate will produce high-quality human capital, while self-efficacy acts as a driving force to pursue the goals. The effectiveness of these two elements enhances the commitment of teachers in order to ensure the success of educational institutions. This study was developed to examine the relationship between school climate and teacher commitment, as well as the indirect relationship through self-efficacy as a mediator construct. Teachers were selected randomly from 18 high-achievement secondary schools in Kelantan, with a total of 360 respondents. A cross-sectional survey method was applied to collect data. The questionnaire consisted of 44 items. The IBM SPSS software was used to analyze the correlation and regression tests. The Pearson correlation analysis confirmed positive and significant relationships between the three variables, namely the weak correlation for school climate and commitment (r=.24, p<.01), as well as between school climate and self-efficacy (r=.23, p<.01). In contrast, the correlation was high between selfefficacy and commitment (r=.85, p<.01). Regression analysis for the effect of school climate on teacher commitment showed that R2=.06, p<.01 was significant. The beta value showed that the school’s climate contributed β=.24 (24%), significantly affecting commitment. Multiple regression analysis of school climate and self-efficacy on teacher commitment confirmed that R2=.72, p<.01 was significant. However, beta values showed that school climate contribution decreased to 0.05 (5%) and did not significantly affect commitment as the self-efficacy predictor was included in the regression model. The beta value showed that self-efficacy contributed 0.84 (84%), significantly influencing commitment and acting as a full mediator variable for school climate and teachers’ commitment. The finding of this study proposes significant school climate relationships to enhance teachers’ self-efficacy and commitment. This study also contributes significantly to the theory and the extension of knowledge by explaining the role of school climate in enhancing teachers’ commitment, as well as highlighting the mediator role of self-efficacy that has a significant effect on teacher commitment as well. Therefore, the school administrators should provide a better, condusive school climate to encourage higher self-efficacy among teachers, through self-confidence in group guidance, student assignments, innovative education and attitude towards homework. As a result, teachers could have more opportunity to develop their commitment to schools.

A positive school climate will produce high-quality human capital, while teachers ’commitment is a driver to achieve goals. A conducive school climate can increase the commitment of teachers in ensuring the success of educational institutions. Therefore, the study was developed to examine the relationship between school climate and teacher commitment. Teachers were randomly selected from 18 high-achieving secondary schools in Kelantan, with a total of 360 respondents. A cross-sectional survey method was applied to collect data. The questionnaire consisted of 44 items. IBM SPSS software was used to analyze t-test, correlation, and regression. The t-test analysis obtained differences based on study variables according to gender. The results of the analysis show that the level of climate is different based on the gender of teachers. Findings of Pearson correlation analysis confirmed a positive and significant relationship of weak correlation variables for school climate and commitment (r = .24, p <.01). Next, regression analysis of the influence of school climate on teacher commitment showed that R2 = .06, p <.01 was significant. The beta values indicated that school climate contributed 0.24 (24%), which significantly influenced commitment. The findings of this study suggest a significant relationship of school climate to increase teachers ’ self-commitment. This study also makes a significant contribution to the theory and expansion of knowledge by explaining the role of school climate in increasing teacher commitment.

The Relationship

Teaching and learning (TnL) is an important process that contributes to student academic achievement. While the effectiveness of TnL depends on the effectiveness and commitment of teachers. Thus, this study aims to identify the relationship between self-efficacy and teacher commitment in moderate performing secondary schools in the state of Kelantan. This study uses a quantitative approach in the form of a cross-sectional survey involving 351 respondents of teachers from 18 schools involved. The research instrument consisted of a set of questionnaires consisting of 20 items for teacher self-efficacy and 13 items related to teacher commitment. The study data were analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 25 which involved Pearson correlation analysis. The findings showed that there was a significant strong relationship between teacher self-efficacy and teacher commitment (r = 0. 85, p <0.1). This shows that the level of self-efficacy of a teacher has an effect on teacher commitment. When the teacher has a high level of self-efficacy, then the level of their work commitment will also increase. Therefore, school administrators must ensure that teachers and staff in their schools are always exposed to courses and workshops to strengthen self-efficacy so that their level of self-efficacy is always at a high level. The findings of this study can be used as a guide to school administrators and teachers in organizing continuous teacher professional development strategies towards strengthening the level of self-efficacy of teachers, which in turn high work commitment among teachers can also be produced. The findings of this study also provide a meaningful contribution to educational practitioners in strengthening the ethics of teacher professionalism through the important elements of self-efficacy and teacher commitment towards enabling the teaching profession in schools to realize educational excellence.

This study aims to investigate the impact of parental career behaviors on undergraduate student’s career exploration and the mediating role of career self-efficacy. In the literature it is suggested that some social and individual factors facilitate students’ career exploration. Therefore, parental career behaviors and career self-efficacy is considered as predictors of student’s career exploration attitudes within the scope of the study. In this respect, data which are collected from 405 undergraduate students having an education on tourism and hotel management field by the survey method are analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The results of the study indicate that parental career behaviors which are addressed support; interference and lack of engagement have a significant effect on student’s career exploration behaviors such as intended-systematic exploration, environment exploration and self-exploration. In addition, it has been found that one of the dimensions of parental career behaviors addressed as a lack of engagement has a significant effect on career self-efficacy levels of students. However, research results indicate that student’s career self-efficacy has a significant effect on only the self-exploration dimension. On the other hand, career self-efficacy has a partial mediating role between lack of engagement attitudes of parents and career exploration behaviors of students.

Background: The majority of patients living with chronic pain faces several challenges; therefore, factors affecting their adaptation to the disease to provide appropriate therapeutic methods and meditation and relaxation therapy should be identified. Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between perceived burdensomeness and psychosocial adjustment, and the mediating role of pain self-efficacy. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted on 240 patients with chronic pain referred to the orthopedic centers in Ardabil in 2019 selected by convenience sampling. Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale, Pain Self-efficacy Questionnaire, and Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire were used for data collection. Also, Pearson correlation and multiple regressions were used for data analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS V. 19 and AMOS V. 21. Results: The findings confirmed the negative and direct effect of perceived burdensomeness (β = -0.11 and P < 0.01), as well as the positive and direct effect of pain self-efficacy (β = 0.86 and P < 0.01) on psychosocial adjustment. On the other hand, perceived burdensomeness (β = -0.32, P < 0.01) had a negative and direct effect on pain self-efficacy. The indirect effect of perceived burdensomeness and pain self-efficacy on psychosocial adjustment to illness was also confirmed. Conclusions: According to the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the feelings of pain self-efficacy mediate the relationship between perceived burdensomeness and psychosocial adjustment in patients with chronic pain. That can also be important for the patient and their caregivers in relation to other chronic illnesses. Chronic diseases can also affect patients and their caregivers.

The study investigates the mediating role of e-commerce through organizational and environmental factors with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) performance. The study follows a cross-sectional survey method approach. The study’s theoretical foundation is based on the resource-based view (RBV) and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. The current research identifies four manufacturing SMEs’ strata based on participation in the country’s exports using a stratified proportional random sampling technique. The research questionnaires were distributed among 700 top and middle-level managers of manufacturing SMEs. The data were analyzed by applying partial least square structural equational modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationship between the exogenous, mediator, and endogenous variables. The finding reveals that top management support and competitive pressure have a significant positive impact on the use of e-commerce direct and mediation. At the same time, the adoption cost and government support have an insignificant impact on e-commerce usage. This study results can be used to enhance the use of e-commerce in Pakistan’s manufacturing SMEs to improve the country’s overall exports.

Objective. Little research is available on the predictive factors of self-efficacy in college students. The aim of the present study is to examine the role of alexithymia, anxiety, and depression in predicting self-efficacy in academic students. Design. In a cross-sectional study, a total of 133 students at Babol University of Medical Sciences (Medicine, Dentistry, and Paramedicine) participated in the study between 2014 and 2015. All participants completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (CASES), and 14 items on anxiety and depression derived from the 28 items of the General Health Questionnaire (28-GHQ). Results. Pearson correlation coefficients revealed negative significant relationships between alexithymia and the three subscales with student self-efficacy. There was no significant correlation between anxiety/depression symptoms and student self-efficacy. A backward multiple regression analysis revealed that alexithymia was a negative significant predictor of self-efficacy in academic students (B=-0.512, P<0.001). The prevalence of alexithymia was 21.8% in students. Multiple backward logistic analysis regression revealed that number of passed semesters, gender, mother’s education, father’s education, and doctoral level did not accurately predict alexithymia in college students. Conclusion. As alexithymia is prevalent in college students and affects self-efficacy and academic functioning, we suggest it should be routinely evaluated by mental physicians at universities.

Compliance Behaviour

The aim of this study is to clarify the role of social factors on individual taxpayers’ tax compliance behaviour in Malaysia. Studies with similar topics express the fact that there still exists a gap in thedeveloping countries that impact the decision making on tax compliance. Malaysia is a multi-racial and cultural country with social factors to impact on tax compliance. Some of the factors impacting are cultural impact, political affiliation, and religiosity, which are considered to be playing an important role in individual tax compliance behaviour. The researcher used a survey method of research design. For that the population targeted was the individual taxpayers across Malaysia. A sample of 419 respondents had been taken for this study, using a convenient sampling method. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis had been employed to analyse the data. The outcome of the study reveals that changes in government policies, referral groups, the role of LHDN, and political affiliation are the main important variables that determine individual taxpayers’ tax compliance behaviour. This paper studied social factor variables, which finally fills the gap that existed in the literature and helps tax administration to develop effective compliance risk treatment.
