Abstract

The study investigated Psychological Capital and Flourishing as Predictor of Work Engagement among Private Secondary School Teachers in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Teaching is a very unique field which remains a means of building knowledge and skills in students for the purpose of functionality in the society. This study examined psychological capital and  flourishing as predicting factors when it comes to coping with work, as it is believed that human resources and psychological strengths assist with improving an employee's work engagement. Research data for this present study was collected through the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), Flourishing Scale (FS) and the Work Engagement Questionnaire (UWES-17). A sample of 224 teachers was selected for the study. The data was then analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Independent T-Test and Multiple Regression Analysis are the test statistics employed. The study found that psychological capital and flourishing does influence work engagement amongst private secondary school teachers (R= .682a; F= 95.885; P < .000). The study concluded that high level of work engagement among teachers lead to many positive outcomes for an individuals, including increased productivity, job satisfaction, and retention.

Abstract

This study examined the roles of self-efficacy and stress in influencing test anxiety among students from selected secondary schools in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. Specifically, it explored how students’ beliefs in their academic abilities and the stress they experience during their academic journey contribute to anxiety before, during, and after assessments. A descriptive survey design was adopted, involving 250 students from eight schools. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the Revised Test Anxiety Scale (RTA), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Standard Stress Scale (SSS). Regression analysis revealed that self-efficacy significantly predicted test anxiety (β = 0.956, t = 51.43, p .05), as did stress (β = 0.252, t = 4.10, p .05). The joint analysis showed that self-efficacy (β = 1.834, t = 49.55, p .05) and stress (β = -0.009, t = 0.015, p .05) together accounted for 91.4% of the variance in test anxiety. These findings highlight the complex psychological interplay, suggesting that while self-efficacy is generally protective, in certain high-pressure contexts it may paradoxically relate to higher anxiety. The study recommends that teachers and parents foster students’ self-efficacy by promoting realistic goal-setting, providing constructive feedback, and reinforcing their strengths.KEY WORDS: self-efficacy; stress; test anxiety; secondary school students; academic pressure

Abstract

The study examined the predictability of working conditions on the well-being of employees of selected broadcasting organisations in Southwestern Nigeria. It also assessed the differences in the well-being of these employees based on their form of ownership. A research questionnaire comprising of standardized instruments: the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and the Work and Well-being Outcome Scale were used to generate data from the respondents. A sample of 412 employees in the eleven selected broadcasting organisations participated in the study.  This study made use of both descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequencies, means, multiple regression, least squared difference, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to analyse data. The results indicated that working conditions which is a compendium of various organizational factors within the selected broadcasting organizations significantly predicted employees’ well-being of the selected organizations. Differences were also found in the well-being of employees of federal, state, and privately-owned broadcasting organisations as these employees are exposed to different physical and psychosocial work environments based on the level of structure and organization of tasks, activities, and the physical and human resources available to these organizations. The study concluded that having pleasant working conditions can play a crucial role in the retention of satisfied and loyal employees and the promotion of their all-round well-being.
