This paper examined association of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and career resilience with the responses of 171 United States Army personnel making the transition to civilian jobs. Specifically, the study addresses whether personality traits are related to the appraisal of the transition from Army to civilian life and to how individuals plan to manage the transition to yield employment success. Self-esteem, self-efficacy, and career resilience were the personality variables examined. Only self-esteem and career resilience were related to harm appraisals of the transition. None of the personality variables were related to use of coping strategies. Limitations of the study and suggestions for research are provided.

The Impact

This article demonstrates that the impact of role models (RMs) on students’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention is moderated by their entrepreneurial experience and personality variables such as self-esteem and locus of control. 276 students enrolled in an entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) were exposed to either a positive or a negative sensitisation message by alumni who became entrepreneurs to test its impact on the students’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Findings indicate that students with entrepreneurial experience, high self-esteem and internal locus of control are less impacted by entrepreneurial role models. We discuss the relevance and effectiveness of role models in EEPs.

Post Test

Burn-out result from exposure to chronic work stress, of which the caregivers and nurses are most exposed to this risk. That is why we conducted a descriptive-experimental study which is based on the quantitative approach which aims to describe the prevalence of burnout among our target population (the nurses of both public health institutions of the hospital of Sfax) and the indicators (self-esteem, coping strategy, locus of control, motivation, satisfaction, sense of self-efficacy, life orientation by a sense of coherence) that influence this syndrome and also to evaluate the effectiveness of a therapeutic program proposed and applied in this research on the reduction of the frequency of burnout. The hypotheses stipulate that there is a significant difference between the pre-test data and data collected at post-test among nurses in the experimental group. The results of our descriptive study show that 37.4% of participants suffer from high emotional exhaustion, 59.4% suffer from high depersonalization and 48.5% suffers from a sense of lack of fulfillment in their work. 31% have a degree from low to very low self-esteem, (72.5%) of participants with low levels of self-efficacy feeling an average motivation (being 50.3%) to low (being 44.8%) with 68.1% of a low amotivation, (44.8%) with a low extrinsic motivation, (47.3%) have low intrinsic motivation, (70%) are neither satisfied / nor dissatisfied, 32% have a low sense of coherence, 52.9% use coping strategies focused on emotion and (56.4%) seeking social support while (75.3%) use weakly coping strategies focused on problem solving, a majority of them uses an external attribution (44%) due to colleagues (42%) due to the superior, and also (42%) due to chance. The results of the experimental study responded generally to the research hypotheses given that they have shown significant differences between the two groups of nurses (experimental -control) post-test pre-test, which affirms the effectiveness of treatment program in reducing burnout and improving indicators.

IntroductionStress affects the development/course of schizophrenia. Inefficient coping may influence functioning.ObjectiveAssessment of experienced stress, self-efficacy, self-esteem and coping strategies in schizophrenia.MethodsStudy group: 33 schizophrenic in-patients and 27 healthy subjects. Scales: clinical symptoms - PANSS, HDRS; stress-related - experienced stress (SES), self-efficacy (GSES), self-esteem (RSES), coping strategies (COPE).ResultsPANSS, HDRS scores (mean ± SD): 49.2 ± 16.2, 10.1 ± 7.6. Table 1 shows SES, GSES, RSES scores, Table 2 - coping strategies (only significant differences). Inter-variable correlations were found: SES-PANSS (r = 0.56, p < 0.001), SES-HDRS (r = 0.69, p = 0.01), RSES-HDRS (r = -0.39, p = 0.02), COPE14-PANSS (r = 0.38, p = 0.03), COPE14-PANSS-P (r = 0.45, p = 0.008).[Stress, self-efficacy, self-esteem (mean score ± SD)][Coping strategies (mean score ± SD)]ConclusionsHigher experienced stress, lower self-efficacy and self-esteem were found in schizophrenic patients. Stress and coping strategies may affect/result from clinical symptoms. “Passive/avoiding” coping strategies were more frequent in schizophrenic patients.

Uzimajući u obzir osobne i okolinske prepreke, osobe sa stečenim fizičkim teškoćama prolaze kroz mnoge stresne situacije. U radu se ispituju strategije suočavanja koje rabe studenti s tjelesnim teškoćama. Cilj je ispitati korelaciju između uvjerenja o sebi i svijetu (samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i nadanje) i strategija suočavanja kod studenata s fizičkim teškoćama. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 111 studenata sa stečenim fizičkim teškoćama uključujući ozljede kralježnične moždine i različite druge teškoće s kralježnicom. Provedeno je kvantitativno, transverzalno istraživanje i primijenjene su poljske inačice sljedećih instrumenata: Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE) (Wrześniewski, 1996), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) (Dzwonkowska et al., 2008), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES, Schwarzer, Jeruzalem) (Juczyński, 2001), Basic Hope Inventory (BHI) (Trzebiński and Zięba, 2003b). Provedene su analize deskriptivne statistike, korelacije (Pearsonov koeficijent korelacije) i regresijska analiza. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da uvjerenja o sebi i svijetu imaju prediktivnu funkciju u objašnjavanju strategija suočavanja koje rabe studenti s fizičkim teškoćama. Također otkriveno je da uvjerenja kao što su samopoštovanje, samopouzdanje i nadanje pomažu u objašnjavanju variranja pojedinačnih strategija suočavanja, s obzirom na intenzitet i prirodu korelacije. Konačno, nizak postotak objašnjene varijance strategija suočavanja kod studenata s fizičkim teškoćama upućuje na važnost drugih varijabli koje nisu uključene u ovo istraživanje. Rezultati se promatraju u kontekstu prethodnih istraživanja.
