The scales and data were verified for precision and reliability using factor analyses, while the predictors of sexual risk behaviour were examined…

The Role of the Eagala Model in Promoting Psychological Wellbeing in Adolescents

An embedded mixed-methods research design with convenience sampling was used. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group participated in the Eagala intervention. The Ryff Scale of Psychological Wellbeing ( RSPW…
Sustainable person-environment fit and subjective career success
This study examined the relationship between person-environment fit and subjective career success (SCS), as well as the role of personal resilience in that relationship. A convenience sample of 742 employees from various sectors in South Africa (female = 55.3%; Afrikaans language speakers = 64.2%; financial = 23%, wholesale and trade = 15%, education = 10%, business consulting = 10%) participated in the study. The employees completed surveys on s…
The time pattern of remittances and the decay hypothesis
Using a dataset of migrants who migrated to South Africa over the period 1979-2007, we investigate the time pattern of remittances and the determinants of remittances. We find that the level of remittances first increases with the time spent in the host country and later on declines after an estimated 8 years of migration experience and thus exhibiting an inverted-U pattern over time. This finding lends support to the remittance decay hypothesis.…
