Abstract In this study, meta-analytic procedures were applied to determine the gen- eralizability of relationship between job satisfaction and intent leave. The results consistent with hypotheses: leave was significantly different from zero consistently negative. Furthermore, across levels satisfaction, employees a large U.S. federal agency less likely than within private sector organization. Subsequent analyses on studies showed that career stage indicators (age tenure) moderated

The Survey of Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS) is a unidimensional measure the general belief held by an employee that organization committed to him or her, values his her continued membership, and generally concerned about employee's well-being. In interest efficiency, researchers are often compelled use minimum number SPOS items in their studies. This study reports on reliability generalization across 62 published studies using SPOS. Findings suggest mean age sample statistically...

Purpose: To evaluate mindfulness meditation as an antecedent of reductions in stress and increases hope. Method: A quasi-experimental design ( N = 46; group, n 23; comparison 23) using a community sample was used to the impact on path analysis also model directional relationship between participation hope mediated by stress. Results: The data indicated that group exhibited significantly higher lower than group. fully Discussion: support can increase via reduction. results suggest need for...

The psychometric properties of the original 36-item Survey Perceived Organisational Support (SPOS) was examined along with a variety shorter versions currently in use (16 items, eight items and three items). Factor analysis SPOS measure is supportive finding that unidimensional. Correlations among factor scores scale suggest either eight-item or 16-item version would be just as effective but even more efficient. Convergent validity results also indicate similar proportions variance accounted...

This study investigated the effects of brief mindfulness training on caregivers for family members with dementia. Eleven completed 4 hours training. Using mixed methods in a parallel model, survey data were gathered preintervention, postintervention, and 1 month postintervention; qualitative interviews conducted postintervention. Findings include increased acceptance, presence, peace, hope, decreased reactivity caregiver burden resulting from Activity professionals working dementia can be...

Hope has long been viewed as important to individuals attempting overcome obstacles. Overall hope is the combination of one's appraisal capability and determination achieve goals (Agency) identifying viable routes reach them (Pathway) (Snyder, 1994). The main goal this study was examine incremental contribution mentoring among youth on verge leaving care above beyond related personal characteristics placement history. sample included 148 adolescents in residential Israel who had adult...

Child abuse pediatricians continuously encounter trauma experienced by abused children, putting them at risk of secondary traumatic stress (STS), a syndrome with symptoms similar to those posttraumatic disorder.To examine the relationship between trauma, hope, meaningful work, and burnout in child pediatric clinicians.Participants were solicited from Helfer Special Interest Group on Abuse for Medical Professionals listservs. They sent link Web-based survey consisting Oldenburg Burnout...

In this study, we utilized reliability generalization procedures to examine internal consistency estimates across 3 scales measuring the belief in a just world. The distribution of for measures suggest low moderate ranges coefficients. Global Belief Just World Scale (Lipkus, 1991) produced highest average score (alpha = .81) compared (Rubin & Peplau, 1973; alpha .64) and Revised 1975; .68).

Many universities in the United States highlight service as an integral component to their mission. Additionally, a growing pedagogical focus highlights importance of community student development. The current study was investigation factors associated with college intentions engage volunteer service. University students (N = 403) at comprehensive university located southern plains completed anonymous Web-based questionnaire assess attitudes and intentions. Subsequent testing for statistical...

Rape crisis volunteers who provide direct-care services to victims of sexual assault are a much-understudied group. Volunteers crucial role in support nonprofit rape centers, and factors influencing their continued service an important consideration for decision makers. In the present study, authors examined—among providing hospital crisis-line advocacy assault—the training, self-efficacy, social support, experiences with victim blaming as correlates overall satisfaction, affective...

To explore the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and hope, a convenience sample of caregivers bringing in children for medical investigation child abuse at regional advocacy center were surveyed dispositional hope. Hope this had significant negative correlation to subscale "abuse" (r = -.19; p < .05). The hope other subscales "neglect" -.14) "dysfunctional family" -.16) was not statistically significant. An analysis variance performed determine if who have experienced both...

In this article, we present psychometric properties on the 14-item Harvey Imposter Phenomenon (IP) Scale (Harvey, 1981) among a sample of U.S. adolescents (N = 136). Item analyses, internal consistency reliability, and principal components analysis (PCA) were computed to assess reliability factor structure IP scores. Although (e.g., Cronbach's alpha) was reasonably acceptable (alpha =.70), item analyses subsequent PCA suggest concern for content homogeneity composite scores obtained from...
