Teachers’ occupational well-being in relation to teacher–student interactions at the lower secondary school level
2023
This study investigated the relation between teachers’ occupational well-being and the quality of teacher–student interactions in lower secondary schools in Finland. Teachers (N = 48) self-rated their occupational well-being in terms of engagement, stress, job demands, and emotional exhaustion. Teacher–student interactions in classrooms were video-recorded and coded with the Classroom Assessment Scoring System. The results of multivariate regression analyses showed that teachers who reported higher work-related stress were observed with a lower quality of emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support when controlling for background factors. It is proposed that the obs…

It also did so by examining whether the identified subgroups differed with respect to teachers’ self-reported occupational stress and emotional exhaustion as well as with respect to work-related resources such as the individual resource of work meaningfulness and the leader-level resource of the leader–follower relationship. The participants in the study were 321 Finnish elementary school teachers. The data were collected in spring 2021, that is, at the time when the COVID-19 pandemic was present, yet there were no nation…

Moreover, the dissertation analyzes the factors that create and reduce third sector employee well-being. Based on Statistic Finland’s …

Intimate relationship and its significance for eudaimonic well-being in young adults
2020
BackgroundPrevious studies indicate that being in a relationship has a beneficial effect on the physical and mental health and also significantly affects the quality of life.

In this research we intended to estimate the significance of these variables for the sense of wel…
Relationships Between Career Indecision, Search for Work Self-Efficacy, and Psychological Well-Being in Italian Never-Employed Young Adults.
2017
Although different studies have investigated career choices as cognitive acts of decision-making, non-cognitive components also play an important role. The study tries to develop an empirically based model of career decision-making process linking cognitive (search for work self-efficacy - SWSE) and non-cognitive (psychological well-being - PWB) components. In particular, the study investigates, among 148 never-employed Italian young adults, to what extent the relationship between SWSE and career indecision in terms of lack of readiness (LoR) can be explained by their common relationship with PWB. Results highlighted that SWSE is negatively associated with LoR when considered in absence of …
Deciding on the direction of career and life : personal goals, identity development, and well-being during the transition to adulthood
2017
Humans make efforts to manage their lives, and they do this by setting goals and making decisions. When they commit to their decisions, they construct their identity. This research aimed to study young people’s personal goal contents and appraisals, and how these constructs were related to identity and career identity development and subjective well-being. The theoretical basis of this research comprised the life-span model of motivation (Nurmi, 2004; Salmela-Aro, 2009), the conceptualisation of phase- adequate engagement (Dietrich, Parker, & Salmela-Aro, 2012), and the dual-cycle model of identity development (Luyckx, Goossens, Soenens, & Beyers, 2006; Luyckx et al., 2008). The data for th…

2019
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija apkopot šobrīd zināmo informāciju par subjektīvo labklājību, fizisko aktivitāti un ķermeņa tēla uztveri. Ne mazāk svarīgi bija izprast fiziskās aktivitātes līmeņa un ķermeņa tēla uztveres ietekmi uz subjektīvo labklājību. Kā arī mērķis bija ievākt datus, izmantojot aptaujas, lai noskaidrotu vai pastāv statistiski nozīmīga saistība starp subjektīvo labklājību un ķermeņa tēla uztveri un fiziskās aktivitātes līmeni. Pētījumā piedalījās 148 brīvprātīgie respondenti vecumā no 16 līdz 53. Visiem respondentiem tika veikti subjektīvās labklājības mērījumi izmantojot Apmierinātības ar dzīvi skalu (SWLS) (Diener et al., 2006). Kā arī katram tika veikti fiziskās aktivitātes…
