Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) UWES was developed by Schaufeli and his colleagues (Schaufeli et al., 2002). Schaufeli was working in the occupational health psychology unit at Utrecht University. He argued that work engagement is the assumed opposite of burnout (Schaufeli et al., 2002). UWES is closely related to the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) (C. Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996; Christina Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1986). The Maslach-Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) was…

You hear the cheers and screams from the crowd. You can smell the hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pretzels, and popcorn from the concession stands. The marching band playing loud to match the noise and energy of the crowd. This memory…
Many herbicides and pesticides are thought to be involved in teratogenic, or embryonic development disturbing, mechanisms. Therefore it is important to study the effects of these chemicals on humans and wildlife in the event of contact or contamination. Case-Control Study of Maternal Residential Atrazine Exposure and Male Genital Malformations by Agopian in 2012 is one study that examines an herbicide, atrazine, in relation to birth defects of male genital development. Atrazine is one of the…
To determine if mood state changed from pretest to posttest a paired samples t-test was calculated on mood state. Mood state changed from pretest (M=27.7, SD=5.8), to posttest (M=30.1, SD=4.8), t (43) = -4.8, p = 0.00. To test the hypothesis that HAI increases mood, a one way ANOVA was calculated. As displayed in table 1, the effects of conditions had no significant difference on mood in people, F (2, 42) = 1.5, p = 0.23. To test the effect of species, a 2 (species) x 3 (condition) factorial…
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to see if there is a link between the birth weight and gestation of newborn babies with smoking mothers and non- smoking mothers. The significance of this investigation is to find a relationship between the two as it might help with health benefits. The features in the investigation are the relationship between the two sets of data between the birth weight and the gestation period of smoking mothers and non-smoking mothers. Part A: The median for the…
However, even though this is the population from which a sample was taken for the research, it may be assumed that ultimately the goal of the study is to define the population as all workers in Taiwan, for purposes of extrapolation of the data. Additionally, only respondents holding a full-time job were selected for the analysis in order to highlight the potential effects of work/family conflict (Lu et al., 2011). Description of Data and Descriptive Statistics A wide variety of data was…
Article 1: Some Determinative Factors for Teachers’ Job Motivation Step 1: Identify the question: As it pertains to the teacher-learning environment, what are the potential factors that contribute to teachers’ job motivation? Step 2: Choose a sample or samples of analysis: 201 Romanian teachers from across all educational levels were selected to complete the three qualitative questionnaires (DM, SP, and MM). 161 females and 40 males were graded on a seven-point Likert scale. Seniority in…
