“…Further, the EFA model had only one factor with an eigenvalue greater than 1an indication to retain a single factor (Kaiser, 1960). Also, Cronbach's alpha value reliability score for the construct was 0.78, implying good internal consistency of the four items (Santhanam and Srinivas, 2019;Hair et al, 2014). Thus, factor analysis confirms the presence of a one-factor component structure, and reliability analysis indicates good scale reliability.…”

PurposeWhile cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, over 80% of the cases could be prevented through early lifestyle changes. From the perspective of quality management in healthcare, this may offer an effective prevention window if modifiable CVD risk factors are identified and treated in adolescence. The purpose of this research is to examine the negative emotions in adolescents and determine if it independently increases CVD risk later in life.Design/methodology/approachLongitudinal data from 12,350 participants of the Add Health study, which conducted a multi-wave survey for 14 years from adolescence (Wave 1) through adulthood (Wave 4), were used to test the research hypothesis. Four items (perception of life, self-reported depression, perceived loneliness and fearfulness) reflective of adolescent negative emotion were identified from the Wave 1 questionnaire, and factor analysis was conducted to confirm the hypothesized structure. The outcome variable, 30-year adulthood CVD risk category (high or low risk), was estimated using biomarkers, biological data and other factors collected during the 14-year follow-up in Wave 4. A logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the impact of adolescent negative emotions on adulthood CVD risk after adjusting for common risk factors such as sociodemographic characteristics, socioeconomic status and medical conditions in adolescence.FindingsThe results indicated adolescent negative emotion to be significantly associated with CVD risk category (p-value < 0.0001), even after controlling for common risk factors. A unit increase in the level of adolescent negative emotion increased the chance of being in the high CVD risk group in adulthood by 8% (odds ratio = 1.08 ± 0.03).Practical implicationsHealthcare providers and organizations could capitalize on the research findings by screening for negative emotions early in life through individual and societal interventions. The findings also provide an opportunity for implementing quality improvement initiatives to deliver robust preventive care, which, in turn, could improve the overall population health, reduce healthcare costs and improve care quality.Originality/valueAlthough previous studies showed a strong link between adolescent physiological factors (e.g. obesity) and adulthood cardiovascular disease (CVD), the association between adolescent outlook/attitude (negative emotion) and CVD risk has not been examined.

“…Research and practice have acknowledged the importance of working individuals for organisational and business success for a long time. On the research side, evidence exists that a committed workforce that is more likely to engage in learning leads to improved business performance (Cillo et al, 2019), and other organisational performance indicators such as decreased turnover intention (Santhanam & Srinivas, 2019). Work identity, job satisfaction, competence acquisition, as well as commitment and engagement of blue-collar workers are critically connected to the societally shared and culturally anchored picture of their jobs as well as the employment-structuring institutions such as recruitment regimes, remuneration schemes and control systems (Pries, 2010).…”

Context: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has attracted increasing interest in recent years due to its potential to address productivity and equity challenges, such as better employment prospects, as outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite the potential of such programmes, the enrolment rate in vocational training at upper secondary level in Mexico is 38.2%, i.e. below the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average of 45.7%. This raises the question of possible reasons for the low enrolment rate. Approach: Based on the assumption that attitudes towards non-academic work are culturally anchored in Mexican society, which also shapes the educational and career aspirations of younger generations, the project named Cultural Practice of Non-academic Work in Mexico (KuPraMex), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), investigates social representations of non-academic work in Mexico. This is done through the analysis of artefacts such as films, murals, etc., as these are part of the tangible culture of a society. As materialised products of human activities or cultural practices, artefacts can be understood as objectifications of social relations and conditions. Therefore, in this context, it is assumed that through the analysis of cultural artefacts, a deeper understanding of how non-academic work is thought, felt, and valued in Mexican society will emerge.Findings: It has been found that the topic on non-academic work is often associated with informality. Moreover, the representations and narratives in cultural artefacts often show that non-academic work, apart from office work, is physically challenging but cognitively undemanding. In terms of access to a company, social networks seem to have enormous relevance. Hierarchies seem rigid and opportunities for promotion limited. However, narratives with more positive attributions regarding non-academic work can also be identified, which state that young people experience a habitus transformation through work. Conclusion: Nevertheless, non-academic work in Mexico seems to lack prestige, which may affect young people's educational and career aspirations and choices. This could mean that those who can afford it prefer to pursue a career in tertiary education rather than opt for a TVET programme. At the macro level, the mentioned lack of prestige could hamper attempts to offer such programmes.

“…However, it's important to understand why employees had intention to leave in order to prevent it from happening and reduces its impact on the organization. Previous studies have proven that turnover intention is a good surrogate indicator of actual turnover (Kumar et al, 2018;Santhanam & Srinivas, 2019& Cohen et al, 2016. Consequently, if an organization faces a situation in which it needs to decrease employees' intention to quit; it needs to manage and understand the factors affecting employee commitment.…”

This study examines the turnover intention factors and its effect on extension officers’ job performance in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study used stratified sampling technique to select 80 extension officers of the Agricultural Development Project in the 4 zones of Ondo State. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. The results show that extension officers rated level of job performance, emotional intelligence and organizational commitment as high while job satisfaction and leadership member exchange as low. Significant and positive correlation (p<0.01) existed between each variable and work performance. Regression analysis results showed that emotional intelligence, job satisfaction, and leadership member exchange were significant turnover intention factors that affect job performance. The R2 value of 0.731 indicates that the three (3) factors gave 73.1% explanation of the variance in extension officers’ job performance. The results also suggested that emotional intelligence (?=0.734) was the most important turnover intention factor that have effect on job performance, followed by job satisfaction and leadership member exchange. Hence, emotional intelligence, job satisfaction and leadership member exchange should be taken into consideration as turnover intention factors that affect job performance among the extension officers. This study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship of turnover intention factors to job performance and will add to existing body of knowledge in the domain of managing extension officers’ in the agricultural industry, thereby increasing job performance and productivity in the agricultural sector. Keywords: Extension Officers, Intention, Job Performance, Turnover.
