Determinants of Refugee Entrepreneurs’ Psychological Well-being: Examining the Roles of Psychological Capital, Subjective Entrepreneurial Success, and Need Satisfaction
Personality Characteristics as Predictors of Temporary Labor Migration Intentions and The Moderating Role of Family Influence: A Case of Prospective Ugandan Female Migrant Domestic Workers to Saudi Ar…
With the rising number of temporary migrant workers, there is growing scholarly interest in understanding the factors shaping labor migration intention. This study examined the role of personality characteristics in predicting labor migration intention as housemaids among prospective female migrant domestic workers from Uganda to the Middle East. Personality characteristics included the Big Five factor model, which categorizes personality into fi…
The mediating effect of individual beliefs between self-testing knowledge and HIV self-testing use
Background : HIV self-testing has been introduced as a secondary mode of testing in most countries as a way of counteracting the barriers associated with the traditional clinic-based method of testing. As the entry point into the HIV care cascade, testing signifies a unique contribution in the fight to end HIV by 2030. However, in Uganda, the uptake of self-testing services remains contested, especially in low-skilled communities. Using the healt…
A workplace-based HIV self-testing intervention as a determinant for self-testing knowledge, beliefs, and use among unskilled workers in Wakiso Uganda
Efforts should be directed toward advocating for frequent knowledge sharing about self-testing such as this study has provided among unskilled working populations in Uganda. Organizations, alongside HIV testing implementing partners, should awaken people operating in risky environments and those engaging in risky sexual acts on the threat of succumbing to HIV as this greatly increases HIVST and repeat testing
Self-testing knowledge and beliefs on HIV self-testing use in central Uganda
The government of Uganda and its implementing partners have made significant investments in HIV self-testing (HST) services to reduce clinic-related barriers to HIV testing. However, although HSTs have been around for a reasonable time, their uptake, especially among unskilled working individuals, has remained suboptimal, which threatens the efforts to achieve the 95-95-95 UNAIDS goals to end HIV by 2030. This study set out to examine whether kno…
The Only way is up? How Different Facets of Employee and Supervisor Perfectionism Help or Hinder Career Development
Although the double-edged nature of perfectionism is widely acknowledged, little is known about how it shapes employee career development. By combining two field studies, we provide a multiperspective insight into the relevance of both employee and supervisor perfectionism for employee career development. While we expected self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) to have an ambivalent role for career development, we proposed that socially prescribed per…
Serially mediated effects of psychological inflexibility on quality of life of refugees in Uganda during coronavirus pandemic
The unexpected outbreak and rapid spread of COVID-19 necessitated radical and stringent control measures, consequently changing how people live globally. To vulnerable populations like refugees, who were already living a disrupted life, the outbreak of COVID-19 and accompanying control measures complicated their living conditions and drastically affected their mental health and, consequently, their quality of life. The current study aimed to test…
Associations of psychological inflexibility with posttraumatic stress disorder and adherence to Covid-19 control measures among refugees in Uganda: The moderating role of coping strategies
Career success in the University setting: Examining the role of narcissism facets
The purpose of this research is to examine the association of narcissism facets with subjective and objective career success, as well as the impact of the professional field. Data from 282 employees of a German university – both scientists and administrative staff – who completed an online survey were analysed. Results showed a significant negative relationship between vulnerable narcissism and career success. The associations of the grandiose na…
Cultural differences in geographic mobility readiness among business management students in Germany and Spain ahead of graduation
Given the increased internationalization of organizations and economies of scale concentrated in urban centers, graduates are often expected to relocate for their first job. Based on Hofstede’s model and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), we examine the effects of cultural dimensions (individualism-collectivism and uncertainty tolerance) as well as subjective norms (parents’ and peers’ attitudes towards geographic mobility) on readiness for geogra…
