“…Among 42 items, eight items asked about their perceived competence in reading and interest in and enjoyment of reading (Marsh, 1990;Marsh et al, 1984;Tourangeau et al, 2009): "I get good grades in reading," "Work in reading is easy for me," "I am good at reading," "I like reading," "I am interested in reading," "I cannot wait to read each day," "I like reading long chapter books," and "I enjoy doing work in reading" (National Center for Education Statistics, 2010). The SDQ has been used to assess reading motivation (e.g., Froiland & Oros, 2014;Karasinski & Anderson, 2017). Specifically, the first three items appear to be closely related to reading self-efficacy (i.e., the belief that one can be successful at reading), whereas the remaining five items measure intrinsic motivation for reading (i.e., willingness to read for the sake of internal purposes of reading), which are two important dimensions of reading motivation recurring in reading research (Schiefele et al, 2012;Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997).…”

This study examined the role of science domain knowledge, reading motivation, and decoding skills in reading comprehension achievement in third-grade students who are English learners (ELs) and students who are monolingual, using a nationally representative data set. Multigroup probit regression analyses showed that third-grade science domain knowledge and motivation for reading, decoding skills, and early attainment of decoding skills were significantly associated with third-grade reading comprehension in both language groups. Also, using Wald chi-square tests, the study showed that the association between third-grade science domain knowledge and reading comprehension was stronger in students who were ELs than in students who were monolingual. These findings suggest that cultivating science domain knowledge is very important to supporting reading comprehension development in third grade, particularly for students who are ELs.

“…Enterprise performance is a multidimensional construct that consists of a firm's operational and financial outcomes (Venkatraman & Ramanujam, 1986), which can be reflected through the owner's personality (Baum & Locke, 2004;Naffziger, 1995). Basically, locus of control is an individual's beliefs in his or her efforts that influence outcomes (Karasinski & Anderson, 2017). For example, managers have knowledge, skills, beliefs, and capabilities to facilitate firm performance (Barney, 1991;Grant, 1991;Tehseen & Ramayah, 2015).…”

This study examined the effects of locus of control, tolerance of ambiguity, vision, persistence, and resilience on entrepreneurial competency, performance, and sustainability among micro-enterprises in Kelantan, Malaysia. Adopting a cross-sectional design, the authors collected data from 403 micro-entrepreneurs. The findings revealed that locus of control and vision significantly influenced entrepreneurial competencies. In turn, entrepreneurial competencies, locus of control, and visionary traits significantly affected micro-enterprise performance. The findings also revealed a positive effect of entrepreneurial competencies and performance on micro-enterprise sustainability. The findings also confirmed a significant mediating effect of entrepreneurial competencies on the relationship between locus of control and vision and enterprise performance. The government and developmental organizations should collaborate to enhance locus of control, vision, and resilience traits in order to facilitate micro-enterprise sustainable performance.

Utilizing Utah state data, the aim of this study is to examine the association between language program types programs (dual language programs [DLI], sheltered instruction [SEI], and English as a second language [ESL]) since first grade and third-grade basic literacy skills of Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs) in the United States. We employ propensity score matching (PSM) to generate matched samples using child and family factors known to be associated with children’s early literacy: child sex, immigrant status, unhoused status, special education status, child met Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) benchmark at start of first grade, as well as family income and parental language (DLI & ESL, n = 380; DLI & SEI, n = 380; SEI & ESL, n = 550). Regression models comparing early literacy outcomes for each matched group indicate small trends, based on effect sizes, in favor of DLI programs when compared to other program types, although differences were not statistically significant. Implications for policy and practice related bilingual education are addressed.
