This paper intends to identify the relationship between emotional intelligence, the self-efficacy and attitudes towards work of teachers. The main objectives are as follows: establishing the correlation between the emotional intelligence, teacher selfefficacy and work mentality and general job satisfaction; presenting the differences of the teachers` work mentality and general job satisfaction in terms of different variables (environment, marital status, didactic degree); establishing the existing differences regarding the teachers' work mentality and its dimensions, and general job satisfaction and its dimensions in terms of the emotional intelligence level and in terms of teachers` self-efficacy level Teachers have an important impact upon their student's educational development and also the learning success of the students could be influenced by teachers' attitudes. We try to figure out if there is a correlation between emotional intelligence and teachers' self-efficacy and their attitudes towards work. The sample of our study comprised 575 subjects, teachers, with different ages, different specialities, belonging both to rural and urban area. The results show an image regarding the relationship between emotional intelligence, self-efficacy and work mentality and work satisfaction and could be useful in developing strategies for enhancing the quality of teachers training programs.
Within national pension systems, the role of private pensions tends to become increasingly important. In support of this idea, we recall the conclusion that has been made by research that has taken place over time that the value of private pension fund assets has risen on average by 11.5% annually. The impressive value of assets becomes extremely tempting for investors who see extremely good long-term investment opportunities if we consider the amounts traded. The Romanian pension system has entered a continuous process of change, not always with positive consequences on the level of pensions. The truly significant reforms have only emerged since 2000, being favored by the country's accession to the European Union. Unlike other states, in Romanian the 2008 crisis affected the pension system especially in its public component. Private funds have resisted fairly well the problems that have arisen, partly because of the extremely prudent investment policy. The paper attempts to capture the pressures on pension systems, also making a series of forecasts on future developments in different hypotheses of the economic and social context.
This study aimed to describe the pragmatic function of an Indonesian language teaching in Australia and describe the speech act strategies used by foreign teachers to teach Indonesian in Australia. It employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach to the pragmatic function construction in the classroom context. The data are negatively-constructed speeches of a teacher and students who join an Indonesia language learning program, The Apec Lesson Study Project, in Australia. Data are collected through documentation with extended techniques, listening, and recording. Meanwhile, the data are analyzed by using a method of padan pragmatics. The research results show that the pragmatic functions in Indonesian language teaching in Australia can be estimated into various categories and subcategories of speech acts: (1) combinative speech act, manifested into sub-speech acts asking-praising; and (2) directive speech act, manifested into sub-speech acts asking. These findings show how materials, methods, techniques are combined with speech constructions that are appropriate to the student's level. Meanwhile, the speech act strategy used by foreign teachers is a direct literal speech act strategy.
