Examining Small Business Owners’ Psychology, Understanding and Perception of GST: An Empirical Study
Get PDFPurpose - Investigating the realities of financial and managerial accounting in a select number of small businesses is the goal of this essay. The purpose of this study is to learn more about small company owners\u27 perceptions and knowledge of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). From the owner\u27s viewpoint, it is specifically investigated what financial data is gathered, how it is used or not to make business choices, and assesses the success of the small business owners, as well as the part the accountant plays in the process.
Methodology/approach - This exploratory investigation is grounded in a phenomenological paradigm. The owners of 10 small business owners participated in semi-structured interviews with the goal of better understanding organizational behavior as opposed to theory and textbook practice.
Findings - The in-depth examination found a very limited comprehension of accounting information and issues with the financial literacy of these small business owners, and the qualitative data confirmed earlier studies in other nations. The main method for evaluating company success was an informal evaluation, such as how much cash was in the bank since accounting reports were not often made or utilized. Although some company owners sought out more comprehensive business guidance, accountants were engaged for tax services.
Originality/value - It becomes clearer why there could be a discrepancy between the language of textbooks and the reality of accounting practice in small business owners. The implication of this is that small business owners\u27 financial management practices need to be better described in accounting textbooks.  
Exploring the Psychological Impact of Machine Translation on Improving English Vocabulary Proficiency among University Students
Get PDFIn the present era, technology has significantly advanced, making the process of learning English more accessible. Machine Translation (MT) refers to the use of computers to translate documents from one human language to another. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Machine Translation can enhance English vocabulary mastery among university students. The research methodology employed in this study is descriptive qualitative. Vocabulary comprehension is often considered challenging, and many students struggle with it. Learning to master English vocabulary can be difficult due to the complexity of word forms, word choices, and multiple meanings. Google Translate is one example of a program that utilizes multilingual translation processes through online machine translation (MT) methods. The findings indicate that incorporating vocabulary learning strategies in the classroom can enhance university students\u27 vocabulary expansion. Acquiring new vocabulary is crucial for improving language proficiency and advancing to higher competency levels. As a result, researchers are continually exploring the most effective approaches for teaching vocabulary using machine translation
The Psychological Impact of Work Stress on Auditors: Exploring Determinants and Consequences
Get PDFThis research aims to investigate the practical effects of time pressure, work-family conflict, role conflict, role ambiguity, and locus of control on work stress and the behavior of reducing audit quality. The study specifically focuses on auditors from BPK, BPKP, and KAP in the provinces of South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, Maluku, and North Maluku. A total of 133 participants, including junior/staff auditors, senior auditors, audit managers, and audit partners involved in financial statement audits, were selected as the sample. The study adopts an explanatory quantitative approach, using a questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares analysis. The findings indicate that increased time pressure leads to elevated work stress among auditors and contributes to a reduction in audit quality. Furthermore, experiencing higher levels of work-family conflict results in increased work stress for auditors, although it does not directly impact audit quality reduction behavior. Similarly, encountering elevated levels of role conflict intensifies work stress and leads to a higher tendency of reducing audit quality. However, the study did not find a significant relationship between role ambiguity and work stress or audit quality reduction behavior. Moreover, the locus of control influences work stress but does not affect audit quality reduction behavior. Finally, the study reveals a positive association between high levels of work stress and an increased tendency to reduce audit quality
Exploring the Connections between Epistemological Beliefs, Worldviews, and Psychological Self-Efficacy of Preservice Science Teachers
Get PDFThe study investigates the epistemological beliefs of elementary school preservice science teachers (PSTs) and the connections between those beliefs, their epistemological worldviews, and their sense of professional competence. The Science Teaching Efficacy Belief Instrument, the Epistemological World Views Scale, and the Epistemological Questionnaire were completed by 429 PSTs from five major institutions in Asia. Factor analysis revealed four elements of the Epistemological Questionnaire: All-Knowing Power, Simple Knowledge, Certain Knowledge, and Innate Capability. Multiple regression analysis showed that self-efficacy, result expectation, and worldview were significant predictors of "Innate Ability" component scores. Epistemological worldviews were found to be a significant predictor of "Simple Knowledge" scores, while only result expectation significantly predicted "Certain Knowledge" scores. The scores on the "Omniscient Authority" item did not differ substantially based on any of the predictor factors. The findings suggest that PSTs in Asian culture hold multidimensional epistemological beliefs, and while they may have acquired more nuanced views on some aspects, their beliefs on others were less nuanced. Moreover, PSTs believed that recalling scientific ideas and information is essential for students\u27 success when using student-centered approaches to teaching science.The study provides insights into the relationships between epistemological beliefs, worldviews, and self-efficacy in PSTs. It highlights the importance of understanding how PSTs\u27 beliefs and views can impact their teaching practices and students\u27 learning outcomes. The findings suggest that teacher education programs should focus on developing PSTs\u27 epistemological beliefs and worldviews, as well as their self-efficacy, to promote effective science teaching practices

Impact of Educational Qualification, Age and Number of Family Members on Quality of Life of Physically Disabled: A Comparative Analysis of Boys and Girls
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to look at the effects of age, educational level, and the number of family members on the quality of life of physically challenged people, as well as to compare the disparities between boys and girls in this regard. The study used a cross-sectional comparative approach to collect data from 200 physically challenged people, evenly divided between boys and girls, aged 18 and under. The data found that age was positively connected with quality of life, implying that older people had greater physical quality of life while potentially experiencing reductions in psychological well-being and social interactions. Educational attainment was also positively related to quality of life, with higher attainment associated with improved overall quality of life in a variety of domains. Furthermore, the study discovered a negative relationship between the number of family members and quality of life, implying that an increase in family size was connected with a reduction in the quality of life of physically challenged people

Resilience\u27s Impact on the Mental Well-Being of Individuals with Physical Disabilities
Get PDFIntroduction: Physically disabled people\u27s mental health should be a top priority since it has a considerable influence on their general quality of life. Promoting these people\u27s psychological health and general well-being depends on recognizing and addressing the particular difficulties they confront.
Objectives: This study\u27s primary goal was to use route analysis to investigate how social identity, group action, and resilience can help persons with physical disabilities avoid the detrimental effects of being Stigmatized internally. Our concept has two possible outcomes: the first is achieved by Group recognition and group action, and the 2nd is accomplished through resilience.
Methods: A total of 321 Chinese individuals with physical disabilities between the ages of 19 and 84 (45.1% men; mean and SD of age = 46.1 [13.3]) replied to the survey. Through an online poll, data for three months were gathered.
Results: The evaluated model successfully matched the data. We discovered that resilience acted as a mediator in the association between Stigmatized internally and the psychological well-being of persons with physical disabilities. However, neither the social identity nor group activity served as a mediator in our individual relationships between Stigmatized internally and quality of life.
Conclusions: The findings supported the link between Stigmatized internally and poor quality of life among people with physical disabilities. The findings indicate that some interacting mechanisms, including resilience, may help to mitigate the harmful impacts of Stigmatized internally. However, neither the aim of collaboration nor any consequences of affiliation with the group were identified
The Psychological Effects of Social Seclusion on the Mental and Physical Health of Chronic Pain Patients
Get PDFIntroduction: In the past few years, there has been an increase in interest in the consequences of social isolation on the physical and emotional health of those who suffer from chronic pain. Social isolation, which is frequently a side effect of chronic pain, can make the already distressing symptoms that these people endure worse. It is essential to comprehend how social isolation affects an individual\u27s general health in order to create support and intervention mechanisms that are efficient.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to look into how chronic pain sufferers\u27 physical and mental wellness were affected by social isolation.
Methods: There were an overall of 84 people suffering from chronic pain, and half of them were split evenly between the GA-Fitbit (GAF) and GA (GA) groups. All participants filled out a self-reporting scale for social isolation, a mental performance scale, and a multimodal physical well-being scale. The pre- and post-treatment shifts in social isolation were analysed using linear mixed effects modelling, and their connection to gains in mental and physical health were investigated.
Results: Gains in self-reported physical and mental health were similarly large and statistically significant between the two therapies from starting point to the conclusion of treatment.
Conclusion: Chronic pain patients who experience social isolation may benefit from treatments designed to reduce that feeling
