Background: Sexual satisfaction is one of the factors affecting the continuity of marital relationship and satisfaction with this relationship. Regarding this, the present research was conducted to develop a model of Iranian sexual satisfaction in terms of marital adjustment, marital quality, and marital conflict. Materials and Methods: This applied exploratory study was conducted during 2018-2019 using a qualitative method and data-based approach. The data were collected using in-depth interviews. After the interview, the obtained data were subjected to inductive analysis. In other words, there was no previous conceptual framework for coding and categorization, rather the analysis was performed freely and according to the coding technique of data theory. To assess the validity of the content of the subject matter, the table of contents was submitted to six faculty members of psychology who were familiar with qualitative research and sexuality issues, who confirmed the content validity of the identified themes. Results: Based on the results, the final model of the research consisted of eleven different themes, including seven stimulants, namely preparation, sexual preferences, sexual representation, cognition, attitude, sexual behaviors, and sexual consequences, and four preventive factors, namely cognitive impediments, emotional barriers, barriers to behavior, and environmental barriers. Conclusion: Recommendations for couples to obtain sexual satisfaction must be based on both stimuli and barriers as identified in this research.

Insight Into

Factors affecting faculty decisions in the conventional university setup in Saudi Arabia for participating or not participating sin Web-based instruction (WBI) were investigated in this study. Incentives and barriers to WBI, faculty attitudes, and participants’ demographic information were also explored. The study was aimed to investigate the attitudes of the faculty members at three Saudi universities toward WBI in an effort to describe the current status of WBI in the Saudi higher education system. In addition, results of the study could also provide the Saudi universities and the faculty with insight into factors affecting adoption of WBI. Finally, since there have been few implementations of WBI across the country, it was important to explore how WBI is currently used in Saudi universities and to determine critical factors that could affect the implementation of WBI.

The purpose of this study was to examine motivational factors affecting the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the educational practices of faculty members at a university in Jordan. A quantitative approach was used in which 35 participants completed a questionnaire. They were faculty members who were teaching in the first semester of the 2016–2017 academic years. The participants reported limited use of ICT for educational purposes. The most significant motivational factors they reported were internal and personal ones related to the direct benefits of ICT in terms of enhancing their teaching practice, enhancing students’ learning, and improving their job satisfaction. External factors including physical and moral motivational factors, as well as university support and encouragement, had a moderate influence on the participants’ use of ICT for educational purposes. Recommendations are presented based on the findings.

The Impact

As academic activities and research performances become important criteria in evaluating the quality of a university, research activities have received a special concern from universities. The key questions are what prompts faculty members to do research and how to motivate them. In order to answer these questions, it is necessary to examine the factors affecting the research motivation, then measure the impact of these factors on the faculty members' research motivation. In this study, the authors employed the expansive expectancy theory proposed by Chiang & Jang to investigate key factors that motivate faculty members to conduct research. The regression results on data collected from a survey on 475 faculty members at universities in Hanoi showed that faculty members are motivated by the intrinsic instrumentality factor (INTIN), financial value factor (FINVA) and expectancy factor (EXPECT – the factor that yields controversial results in previous studies). These findings suggest that the research motivation of lecturers has a positive correlation with academic degree, administrative position and has no relationship with age and gender.

Adopting new technologies in Jordanian universities, namely cloud services, represents change in practices that needs to be investigated, as it is expected to face resistance in adoption by faculty members and staff that are used to old practices. A dedicated questionnaire was constructed based on the UTAUT model in order to identify the factors affecting the behavioral intentions leading to use new technologies. Five Jordanian universities participated in this study, and the results showed that there is a high behavioral intention (BI) among staff and faculty members to use cloud services and solutions within their workplace. This research showed that there are factors positively affecting the adoption of cloud services in Jordanian universities, and negative factors have been identified too. University management and staff members needs to be introduced to these factors in order to have better judgement on the future investment and practices of using new technologies.

The growth of sport management has led to concerns about the quantity and quality of candidates for faculty positions. In addition to trying to recruit recent doctoral graduates, many programs focus on recruiting established faculty members. This study examines factors affecting the willingness of sport management faculty to accept new positions, and the likelihood of leaving their current positions. While the likelihood of leaving was not high, objective factors such as salary and location were important to those willing to take a new position. Subjective factors such as fit within the program and quality of faculty in the program were also important, whereas several factors were less important (e.g., recruiter description, recruiter approach, and leadership opportunities). Results confirm that attracting faculty in sport management is challenging and universities must consider a combination of strategies to attract them.
