ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional regulations, stress, and job security concern towards and self-efficacy among academic leaders in Amman Arab University. The presented sample for analysis included 30 questionnaires distributed among academic leaders. The study instrument is a questionnaire that consists of four parts: demographic information, emotional regulations' items, stress items, job security concern items, and self-efficacy items. The study found that emotional regulations and stress as main study factors significantly impact on self-efficacy;while it is found that job security concern has no significant relationship with self-efficacy. In addition, it is also found that the following dimension of emotional regulation (rumination) significantly affects self-efficacy. On other hand, it is found that self-blame, receptivity, and re-evaluation have no significant impact on self-efficacy. This study provides further insights for organizations on how to adapt such factors to fit different national and cultural contexts. Further studies are recommended to investigate the effect of these factors on context with looking at the effect of unexpected event such as COVID 19. © 2023 Otjivanda Presse.Essen.

ABSTRACT
Background: In the Netherlands, pharmacists are not qualified to vaccinate. KNMP would like to advocate for this qualification. In order to do so, it is important to know the attitude of Dutch community pharmacists towards vaccination qualifications, the willingness to be trained to vaccinate and towards a possible different scenario: pharmacy-based vaccination by a nurse. Purpose(s): To assess the attitude of Dutch community pharmacists towards vaccination qualification of pharmacists, the willingness to be trained to vaccinate and the attitude towards pharmacy-based vaccination by a nurse. Method(s): We developed a questionnaire and spread it by email to all KNMP members. Result(s): Sisty-six percent (66%) of the responders were positive about vaccination qualification of pharmacists (17% neutral and 17% negative), and even 78% were willing to be trained to vaccinate (ten percent neutral and 12% negative). On the other hand, only 34% was positive about pharmacy-based vaccination by a nurse (27% neutral and 39% negative). 95% of the responders were community pharmacists, of which 12% were hospital-based community pharmacists, five percent were hospital pharmacists and five percent were other pharmacists. The total number of respondents was 60, that is a response rate of two percent. Conclusion(s): We have a positive impression of the attitude of Dutch community pharmacists towards vaccination qualification of pharmacists and the willingness to be trained to vaccinate. This is a much more popular scenario than vaccination by a nurse who could vaccinate in the pharmacy. Because the total response to the questionnaire was low, we cannot be sure whether this is representative of Dutch community pharmacists or not. We considered sending the questionnaire again after the COVID-19 crisis, to gain higher response.
