This article explores community well-being (CWB) outcomes of institutional trust (and distrust) through entrepreneurship in the context of a refugee-hosting society in Turkey. Existing studies show the positive relationship between institutional trust and quality of life (QOL) as well as entrepreneurship and QOL in subsistence contexts. This research, however, explores the relationship between institutional (dis)trust and entrepreneurship on a path to CWB with a special emphasis on refugee and local interactions in the marketplace. Three different paths to the QOL of refugees and/or locals are presented, but only two lead to CWB outcomes encompassing both refugees and locals. Consideration of refugees and locals as both consumers and business owners provides perspective on the interplay between social trust and institutional trust in a socio-culturally heterogeneous subsistence context. The article also discusses implications for theory and practice.

PPsychologycal well-being affects mental health, social functioning, interpersonal relationships, health, and adaptability. There are several factors that influence psychologycal well-being, such as meaning, purpose in life, and religiosity. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the regularity of praying with psychologycal well-being in the 2016 class year students at the Faculty of Usuluddin and Religious Studies of UIN Raden Intan Lampung. The hypothesis proposed in this study is that there is a relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the regularity of praying with psychologycal well-being in students. The subjects in this study were students in 2016 at the Faculty of Islamic Studies and Religious Studies of UIN Raden Intan Lampung totaling 70 people taken by propotionate random sampling technique. Data collection methods in this study used three psychological scales namely the psychological well-being scale with 33 items (α = 0.889), the scale of meaningfulness of life with 25 items (α = 0.843) and the regular scale for praying with 49 items (α = 0.958). The data that has been collected is then analyzed using multiple regression analysis techniques assisted by the SPSS 21.0 for Windows program. The results showed that Rx1.2y = 0.530 with a value of F = 13.082 with p = 0.000 (p <0.01) which means the hypothesis is accepted that there is a significant positive relationship between the meaningfulness of life and the regularity of prayer with psychologycal well-being in students with R2 = 0.281. The ability of life and regular prayers contributed 28.1% to psychologycal well-being. The second result with rx1y = 0.302 with p = 0.011 (p <0.05) which showed a significant positive relationship between meaningfulness of life with psychologycal well-being in the 2016 class year students at the Faculty of Usuluddin and Religious Studies of UIN Raden Intan Lampung. The third result with rx2y = 0.518 with p = 0,000 (p <0.05) which shows a significant positive relationship between the regularity of prayer and psychologycal well-being in students.

The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between creativity and personality among college students from a variety of major fields of study. Indicators of creativity were ratings of written stories, lists of personal hobbies, and scores on the Creative Personality Scale (CPS; Gough, 1979). Personality was assessed broadly using the NEO‐Five Factor Inventory (Costa and McCrae, 1985) as well as measures of depersonalization, intolerance of ambiguity, faith in intuition, and problem‐solving styles. The results showed a positive relationship between openness to experience and all creativity measures. Moreover, high scores on intuition and extraversion were the best predictors for creativity as measured by the CPS. Story creativity was predicted by low scores on conscientiousness. Depersonalization was not significantly related to creativity. The results of this investigation confirm and extend previous research in demonstrating a close association between creativity and specific personality traits. Future research should clarify the nature of the creative personality across individuals of differing levels and domains of expertise. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Coping may explain why being cyberbullied affects children’s well-being differently, though previous studies are inconclusive. This survey among 325 children focused on the role coping strategies may play in the relationship between cyberbullying and depressive feelings and health complaints. Being cyberbullied was measured with the Cyberbullying Questionnaire, general coping with the Utrecht Coping List, and cyberbullying-specific coping with a questionnaire developed for this study. Health complaints were measured with the Short Questionnaire for Experienced Health and depressive feelings with the shortened Children’s Depression Inventory. The results showed that 18.8% of the children were bullied by mobile phone and 24.1% through the internet. Correlation analyses showed strong relationships between victimization, coping, depressive feelings, and health complaints. In the regression analyses conducted in all children, victimization, general emotion-focused, and problem-focused copings had main effects on depressive feelings and health complaints; emotion-focused coping interacted with victimization in health complaints. Simple slope analyses of children with high scores on emotion-focused general coping showed a stronger positive relationship between victimization and health complaints. Regression analyses of only cyberbullied children showed that only emotion-focused cyber-specific coping was associated with more health complaints and depressive feelings.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of the way of doing work for the relationship between workload and workaholism during COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 668 employees working in different Lithuanian organizations participated in a study. A sample included employees who worked in the workplace (n = 331), as well as those who worked completely from home (n = 337). The levels of workaholism were measured using DUWAS-10 (Schaufeli et al., 2009). Workload was assessed with the help of the Quantitative Workload Inventory (QWI; Spector & Jex, 1998). It was revealed in a study that the higher levels of workload experienced by employees were related to the increased workaholism. It was further found that the positive relationship between workload and worka­holism was stronger in the group of complete remote workers. Overall, the findings support the idea that remote work is an important variable increasing a risk for workaholism especially for those employees who experience a heavy workload. Therefore, the ways of doing work must be considered when addressing well-being of employees.

And Task

The involvement of employees with their activities in the work environment can instigate higher levels of commitment to the organization in which they work. Employee commitment can be instigated by adequate levels of internal communication (Walden et al., 2017). In view of the growing concern with the commitment and engagement of employees, managers responsible for internal communication need to know the communication processes so that they can develop strategies that contribute to the construction of engagement (Welch, 2012). The engagement of individuals at work is frequently addressed in the literature as to its effects, but its background is little explored, especially in specific fields, such as in the public area. Thus, this study analyzes the influence of internal communication on task performance, mediated by the engagement of public servants. The study was carried out by means of a survey with 84 civil servants on active duty from a State Secretariat located in the Southern Region of Brazil. After data collection, analyzes were carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling technique, based on Partial Least Squares (PLS), which demonstrates the relationships between multiple variables and respective constructs. The estimation of structural equations was analyzed using SmartPLS 3. The results of the analyzes show a significant and positive effect of internal communication on engagement, which supports the confirmation of hypothesis H1, that there is a positive relationship between internal communication and engagement. This result is consistent with empirical studies that consider that internal communication inspires engagement (Karanges et al., 2015; Verčič & Vokić; 2017). According to Abdullah and Antony (2012), communication induces employees to realize its importance in the organization and to contribute to the organization's strategies and results, as long as they are aware of the strategies and expected results. There was also a positive association between engagement and task performance, which confirms the hypothesis H2, that there is a positive relationship between engagement and task performance. This result corroborates the findings of Shantz et al. (2013), who found a potential mediating role for employee engagement in the relationship between work design and performance, and that employee engagement positively influences task performance. A positive association was also found between internal communication and task performance, which confirms hypothesis H3. This result is in line with the findings of Tsai et al. (2009) and Abugre (2011), that internal communication can be a determinant of task performance. The literature recognizes the need for adequate levels of communication between management and its employees, in view of its positive effect on the performance of employees' activities (Tsai et al., 2009; Neves & Eisenberger, 2012; Rajhans, 2012). The structural model also confirms the partial mediating effect of the engagement variable in the relationship between internal communication and task performance, which supports H4. These findings are consistent with the assumptions of the literature, which considers that internal communication can improve employee performance through engagement, however, when internal communication is performed inappropriately, it can contribute to employee disengagement (MacLeod & Clarke, 2009). These results contribute to the literature by revealing positive and significant effects of internal communication and engagement in the performance of public servants' tasks, until then constructs analyzed in a dissociated way and generally in different fields of this study. They can also contribute with those responsible for internal organizational communication in the elaboration of strategies that instigate engagement and high performance of public servants' tasks.
