Irrational career beliefs in agricultural education students, demographics, impacts, and rational career education intervention

“…To reiterate, previous studies suggested that students with career-related problems can be assisted [38] using rational-emotive techniques to surmount irrational beliefs [39] . In addition, the present study corroborates previous studies that showed the effectiveness of REBT principles and techniques in alleviating the career-related problems, [20,21,40–42] decrease career decision-making anxiety, [28] and change and defeat irrational career beliefs [43,44] . Career education as adopted in this study has been found to be effective in building positive career behaviors and tendencies, thereby enhancing career engagement and development.…”

“…Given the growing career indecision and occupational maladjustment which irrational career beliefs have caused in most developing countries, past literature has blamed it on limited psycho-educational interventions that can combat negative ideological beliefs about life including the world of work.

Improving work-life balance among administrative officers in Catholic primary schools

“…Other past studies which have also shown the therapeutic benefits of rational emotive behavior interventions in reducing dysfunctional thinking and improving occupational and family health of study participants, [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] give credence to our research. To this end, Catholic education authorities could consider using the CRREBT programme to promote WLB among their teaching staff.…”

Testing the Efficacy of Family Health-Model of REBT on Family Values and Quality of Family Life Among Parents of Children with Visual Impairment

“…In a related study, Malhotra et al (2012) indicated that the existence of a child with disability negatively affects family relationship and wellness.
