“…However, the results indicated no increase in students’ understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Sayani et al (2019) surveyed 206 undergraduate students from different majors in the United Arab Emirates to understand perceived benefits of their participation in case competitions. The top five perceived cognitive benefits included thinking conceptually, considering multiple perspectives, identifying relevant problems, thinking critically and being aware of multiple solutions.…”

“…Despite their global popularity, research around case competitions is limited and “nascent” (Sayani et al , 2019, p. 1). Much of the published research studies around case championships represent reflections (Heysbert, 1993), comments (e.g.…”

“…Only a handful of empirical studies have emerged since (e.g. Damnjanović et al , 2018; Proud et al , 2017; Sayani et al , 2019). The majority of these and earlier empirical studies focus on skill development; however, they do not directly explore links between case participation and any career-related concept.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between participation in case competitions and career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) of university students.Design/methodology/approachThe sample included 273 Russian university students; 109 (40%) of them had never participated in case competitions, whereas 164 (60%) participated at least once in case competitions related to business, management and economics. Data were collected via an online survey that included the CDMSE scale–short form. Descriptive, correlation and linear regression analyses of data were conducted to test five hypotheses.FindingsThe research study showed a significant difference in CDMSE between those who had never participated in case competitions and those who had participated at least once. However, the study did not show a significant influence of participation in case competitions on the level of CDMSE. The results also indicated that the level of CDMSE could be explained by the participants' work experience, career choice status and age, as well as the highest level achieved during participation in case competitions.Research limitations/implicationsThe study provides limitations and implications for future research as well as practice, including career centers and career counselors, university faculty, organizers of case competitions and recruitment specialists in organizations.Originality/valuePrior research suggests that participation in case competitions helps students’ transition into the workplace. Despite their global popularity, empirical research on case competitions is very limited and focused primarily on skill development. This study contributes to the knowledge base by exploring links between case participation and CDMSE.

Affective and cognitive factors play significant roles in influencing students’ learning performance. However, limited studies exist that examine the latent interactions between these factors and students’ learning performance. This study applied a meta-analytic approach to examine the relationships between affective and cognitive factors and students’ learning performance through the selected publications. We identified 18 affective and cognitive influencing factors related to student learning achievement/performance. It was found that academic performance was significantly impacted by learning scores, future aspirations and goals, peer support for learning, and family support for learning. A moderate impact was observed for cognitive benefits, skill development, self-regulation, values, knowledge, character, self-belief, attitudes and beliefs, affective benefits, motivation, optimism, and behavioral engagement. A weak influence was observed for control and relevance of schoolwork and self-efficacy. The discussion and limitations of this study have also been provided in the last sections.
