The purpose of this study was to examine whether spirituality at work moderates the direct and indirect (through burnout) effects of quantitative and emotional job demands on turnover intention among teachers. The sample consisted of 952 Polish primary and secondary school teachers. Burnout mediated the relationship between both types of job demands and turnover intention. In the model with quantitative job demands as an independent variable, spirituality at work moderated the second stage path of the indirect effect, i.e., the relationship between burnout and turnover intention (b = −0.022; SE = 0.004; p < 0.001; β = −0.14). In the model with emotional job demands as an independent variable, spirituality at work moderated the first and second stage paths of the indirect effect, i.e., the relationship between emotional job demands and burnout (b = −0.001; SE = 0.001; p = 0.032; β = −0.05) and the relationship between burnout and turnover intention (b = −0.020; SE = 0.004; p < 0.001; β = −0.14). In both models, the indirect effect of job demands on turnover intention through burnout weakened as spirituality at work increased. The results of the study support the inclusion of spirituality at work as a subcategory of personal resources in studies using the job demands-resources model.
The aim of this article is to present the influence of physical activity on human development. The relationship between the somatic sphere and the psyche has been evidenced, and some alarming results of research on physical activity have been discussed. In the subsequent parts of the article, basic terminological distinctions are presented, along with the recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for physical activity and people’s motives for engaging in sports. The article discusses the psychopedagogical effects of physical activity, including its developmental, preventive and corrective outcomes. The results of the research unquestionably confirm that physical activity promotes a holistic human development and is an important component of the educational process.
Introduction: Individuals with psychosis spectrum disorders may be negatively affected by exclusion and rejection. It is important to answer “why”? This article presents social representations of schizophrenia in Polish society. Aims: The study’s aim was to examine the properties of the sixty-item questionnaire on attitudes, attribution and beliefs about schizophrenia in the Polish sample and to compare the results with the results obtained in the English-Chinese sample. Methods: The study included 398 participants (aged 19–74); all were working persons. Furnham and Chan created the questionnaire, a tool containing 60 items describing general beliefs about schizophrenia, causal explanations in the etiology of schizophrenia, as well as beliefs about the role of hospitals and society in the treatment of schizophrenia. Factor analysis (PAF) was carried out separately for three parts of the tool. Results: The structure of the questionnaire that was obtained on the Polish sample differs from that obtained on the English-Chinese sample. Some factors remain similar. Reliability analysis based on Cronbach’s Alpha values reached satisfactory levels in most of the factors revealed. Conclusions: The questionnaire is a reliable tool for examining social representations of schizophrenia. The Polish sample does not show punitive inclinations, does not attribute negative traits to schizophrenics, and does not agree to creating social distance.
The article presents the problem of cheating in Polish schools. 1,070 students of high schools were examined. The aim of the research was to establish relationships between amotivation, external motivation, introjected motivation, motivation based on identification and internal one, and cheating, help to cheat and reluctance to help to cheat. The results show that amotivation, introjected and internal motivation are predictors of cheating. Only the external motivation turned out to be the predictor of help to cheat; on the basis of internal motivation it is possible to anticipate reluctance to help to cheat.
