The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem in the Relationship Between Perceived Ethnic Discrimination and Continuance Commitment of Migrant Workers.

This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination by migrant workers (applicants for international protection) and continuance commitment, and to analyze whether this relationship is mediated by self-esteem. In addition, it aims to contribute to the literature on the organizational outcomes of perceived ethnic discrimination. This research was conducted through a questionnaire survey of 411 migrants who applied for international protection in Turkey. As a result of the study, perceived ethnic discrimination was found to be a predictor of continuance commitment and self-esteem. In addition, it was observed that self-esteem has a mediating role in the relationship between perceived ethnic discrimination and continuance commitment. The results offer important implications for organizations and organization managers on how migrant workers should be managed and which issues require specific attention. The application of the study on migrant workers and the examination of these variables provide important contributions and practical implications to the literature. In addition, this is a rare study that examines the mediator model with the variables specified in the model using social identity theory, which has not yet been widely covered in existing literature.

Authentic Leadership and Improved Individual Performance: Affective Commitment and Individual Creativity's Sequential Mediation.

Authentic leadership has become increasingly important in the literature, attracting the attention of many scholars in the last decade. This study adopted an employee-centered perspective to guide its examination of the relationship between authentic leadership and individual performance and investigation of the sequential mediation of employees' affective commitment and individual creativity. An analysis was conducted of data collected from 214 employees working in different business sectors. The results reveal a statistically significant positive relationship between authentic leadership and employees' workplace performance, which are both directly connected and indirectly linked through the two proposed psychosocial mechanisms. The findings thus indicate that authentic leadership reinforces workers' emotional connection with their organizations, thereby increasing their individual creativity and, subsequently, promoting better on-the-job performance. This study presents new and significant results since, on the one hand, it relied on a sequential mediation analysis of variables and, on the other hand, integrated the four main constructs into a single model. The proposed model displays the chain of effects between authentic leadership, affective commitment, individual creativity, and employee workplace performance. Implications for organizational management are discussed.

Professores leigos x professores habilitados

O principal objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o impacto dos programas de qualificacao dos professores sobre os estudantes, a escola, a comunidade e os orcamentos municipais. Este estudo envolve 34 escolas de tres diferentes municipios abrangendo 44 professores de primeiras series, 389 estudantes e 33 pais de alunos. Dados estatisticos e historicos foram coletados a fim de analisar a evolucao da qualificacao de professores da escola de primeiro grau em Sergipe e o impacto da qualificacao dos professores sobre o orcamento municipal. Observacao em sala de aula e questionario para estudo do perfil dos professores; teste de Linguagem e Matematica para uso com os estudantes e entrevistas com os pais foram os procedimentos usados. De acordo com a analise de covariancia, a variavel 'qualificacao do professor' se coloca como a mais significante - diferencas foram encontradas no desempenho de alunos preparados pelo programa Logos II. Contudo, a 'idade dos estudantes' e 'anos de experiencia de ensino' foram tambem consideradas importantes. Este estudo mostra claramente que o curriculo da Escola Normal precisa ser revisado e revitalizado; e a transferencia da responsabilidade da escola de primeiro grau para o municipio precisa ser realizada.
