“…carelessness and lack of professionalism) are not tolerated (Smith, 2013). Third, a widely accepted belief holds that it would be better not to tolerate errors for people to better learn from them (Demetriou, 2011). Previous literature suggested that intolerance of errors: enables people to focus on internal attribution, and cognitive efforts on thorough error analysis; and produces negative emotions which enable one's learning motivation (Zhao, 2011).…”

Purpose On the basis of conservation of resources theory, the purpose of this paper is to propose a framework linking an organizational factor, organizational error tolerance, with employees’ psychological well-being through gains of psychological resources: perceived organizational support (POS) and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE). Design/methodology/approach Across three-wave data collected from 220 hotel frontline employees, this study tests the proposed model using structural equation modeling through AMOS. Findings Employees’ perceived organizational error tolerance positively influenced their psychological well-being through significant sequential mediation effects of POS and OBSE. Practical implications This study contributes to the existing literature of psychological resources, positive psychology and error management by providing insights into how organizational practice in error situations can be positively related to employees’ psychological well-being. Originality/value This paper identifies error-related organizational practices as precursor of individual psychological well-being and explores the non-work-related outcome variable of error management for the first time. The examination of the linkage between organizational error tolerance and employees’ psychological well-being via the underlying mechanism of psychological resources provides the insight into how resources dynamics play important roles in influencing employees’ psychological well-being.

“…Student diversity is another aspect that complicates the problem. The influence of factors such as ability, effort and task difficulty on students' success, and hence on course planning, is culturally determined (Demetriou, 2011). With such complexity, it becomes difficult to make appropriate decisions when building student-customized course plans, especially for non-expert advisors.…”

“…In such cases, it is the responsibility of academic advisors to carefully analyze each individual case, taking into consideration all influential factors, while having the students at the center of the analysis process. It is crucial that students are then given a sense of control over their current situation and a sense of responsibility of their academic performance (Demetriou, 2011).…”

Purpose This paper aims to support academic advising, which plays a crucial role in student success and retention. The paper focuses on one of the most challenging tasks involved in academic advising: individual course scheduling. This task includes not only careful planning for different courses over several semesters according to students’ preferences and goals but also must conform to many student constraints and administrative regulations, some of which may rely on student-specific cases.. Design/methodology/approach This paper introduces a novel approach that tries to provide meaningful support to decision makers involved in the course scheduling problem. The approach uses optimization algorithms to perform a pro-active analysis of the impact of different problem aspects and eventually suggests a balanced study plan that tries to satisfy both student preferences and advisor recommendations without violating any constraints. Findings An initial application of the proposed system is used to discuss its benefits. Originality/value The paper introduces a novel approach that uses optimization techniques to support making efficient decisions during the academic advising process.

“…This study refers to Fritz Heider's theory of social attribution. This attribution theory was proposed by a psychologist, Fritz Heider, who focused on events encountered by ordinary people in their lives and whether they relate the results of these events to internal or external factors (Demetriou, 2011). The theory explains that individual behavior from the internal factor includes traits or characters, attitudes, and others.…”

This study examines lecturers' behavioral changes in using a learning management system (LMS) during the COVID-19 pandemic at Tadulako University. This research used a qualitative approach, and the population was lecturers of Tadulako University selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Then, the collected data were analyzed using several stages, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed changes in lecturers' behavior in Tadulako University in using LMS for distance learning. Based on internal factors, the changes can be seen from lecturers' willingness to improve their skill in using the LMS through the internet and YouTube and learn how to use LMS from other lecturers who have mastered it. Based on external factors, changes occurred due to pressure to implement LMS in distance learning as the pandemic worsened. The applicable policies and circular letters require lecturers to use LMS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
