“…Bandura (1997) points out that self-efficacy increases with experience, which often goes along with advancing age, making it more likely for people in old age to show a general high self-efficacy, which is what we found and may distinguish our participants from younger adults tested in former studies (Schwarzer and Renner 2000;Schwarzer et al 2008). Only two studies so far investigated the effect of self-efficacy on the strategy of implementation intentions in younger populations (Koestner et al 2006;Wieber et al 2010). Contrary to these two studies, we assessed self-efficacy as a personality trait rather than manipulating it, which might be related to differences in results.…”

The aim of the present study was to test if a cognitive strategy improves older adults' prospective memory performance in a naturalistic health task. Moreover, it was tested if a possible strategy effect is moderated by individual differences. Therefore, a group of older adults was asked to perform a task taken from the medication adherence literature (i.e., blood pressure monitoring). Half of them were asked to form implementation intentions. Additionally, crystallized pragmatics and fluid mechanics, conscientiousness, self-efficacy, and lifestyle factors were assessed as possible moderators. Results showed a strong positive strategy effect on prospective memory. Moreover, the effect was qualified by a significant interaction and only emerged for participants with low levels in fluid mechanics. No other moderator showed an effect. In conclusion, an enhancing effect of implementation intentions on prospective memory seems to be dependent on individual differences in cognitive capacity and less related to key motivational or personality variables.

“…So, autonomous motivation (intrinsic + identified) was shown to be associated with goal progress far more than controlled motivation (external + introjections). Hence, autonomous motivation which goal self-concordance is significantly positively related to goal progress (Koestner et al, 2006). Such goals are assumed to represent the "best" of people, proactively shaping themselves and their environments to permit further growth and expansion.…”

The research question was how do enterprises produce effective costing practices under challenging operational environment in Palestine? This work aims at making a theoretical contribution about the way businesses adapt product costing to enhance resilience in challenging operational conditions in implementing strategic management planning. This study argues that Traditional Cost Accounting (-TCA) is gradually becoming less relevant in the present climate of global competitive business. Also, financial and nonfinancial information become not reliable for management planning. Such problems become a more urgent priority when the external environment is exceptionally restrictive as the case is under Israeli army occupation in Palestine. Activity-Based Costing (-ABC) that is a newer system that enables managers to cost more accurately, is the system without a business has hindered its commercial viability. This empirical study draws upon a questionnaire survey of ISO 9000 certified manufacturing enterprises. Enterprises in Palestine were shown to improvise, producing their own version of bespoke ABC, termed "pseudo-ABC". The system had tended to display low complexity. Chi-square tests and Cramer's V values show significant variables association in understanding the problems they encountered. "Pseudo-ABC" generated the right information to aid decision-making at a far less cost than standard ABC UK systems

SummaryAim: The decision to quit breastfeeding is strongly influenced by feelings such as physical or psychological fatigue. Research shows that women with higher levels of breastfeeding self-efficacy are able to better cope with difficulties and continue to breastfeed for longer. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the autonomy of a mother's motivation has an effect on her breastfeeding self-efficacy. Furthermore, the study examined the relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and such indicators of well-being as the frequency of experiencing positive and negative emotions, life satisfaction and the occurrence of somatic symptoms. Method:The sample consisted of 93 breastfeeding mothers aged 21 to 42 years. The survey was conducted online. Participants answered a questionnaire measuring their level of autonomous motivation to breastfeed, their breastfeeding self-efficacy, the level of somatic stress experienced, the frequency of experiencing positive and negative emotions, and life satisfaction. Results:The results of the study confirmed that the more autonomous the mother's motivation to breastfeed her baby, the higher her breastfeeding self-efficacy. Self-efficacy turned out to be a significant predictor of the frequency of experiencing positive emotions, negative emotions, and somatic stress symptoms. No relationship was found between the mother's self-efficacy and her reported life satisfaction. Conclusions:Autonomous motivation in breastfeeding mothers has a positive effect on their breastfeeding self-efficacy. The higher the breastfeeding self-efficacy, the more positive the breastfeeding mothers' subjective experiences. High breastfeeding self-efficacy, which has a positive effect on the mother's well-being, may also contribute to longer duration of breastfeeding.breastfeeding, breastfeeding self-efficacy, autonomous motivation, psycho-physical well-being According to recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), breastfeeding (or natural feeding) is the "gold standard" in feeding infants. It is emphasized that breastfeeding is linked to numerous desired health and emotional outcomes, both for the baby and for the mother, bringing a range of social and economic benefits. Importantly, however, these positive effects of breastfeeding depend on its duration. According to the WHO, and other healthcare organizations, the optimal method is exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life, with continued breastfeeding up to the age of 12 months or longer [1][2][3][4].In response to these recommendations and numerous empirical studies supporting the advantages of natural infant feeding, programs and social campaigns have been implemented in Poland to promote natural feeding of in- Autonomous motivation, self-efficacy and psycho-physical well-being in a group of Polish... 59Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, 2016; 3: 58-67 fants.
