No full textThis study aims to identify the factors affecting employer branding and validate a structural model based on methodology combined with an exploratory approach. The present research was a mixed-methods study in terms of its data type. The statistical population included academic experts majoring in human resource management and the expert managers of the human resource branches of Mellat Bank in the qualitative phase and all heads and deputies of Mellat Bank branches in various provinces of Iran in the quantitative phase. Data collection instruments included semi-structured interviews with experts in the first and a 45-item questionnaire distributed among 340 people in the second phases. Qualitative data were analyzed by the content analysis method, while confirmatory factor analysis and structural equations modeling, run in the Amos 26 software, were used for quantitative data analysis. The results of the qualitative phase showed that the factors affecting employer branding included three behavioral, structural, and environmental factors, each of which had sub-factors. Also, the results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the measurement model of each of the three mentioned factors was highly fit. Finally, the results of structural equations modeling clarified that the behavioral factor (with a regression coefficient of (0.601) had the most and the structural factor (with a regression coefficient of (.355) had the least impact on employer branding in Mellat Bank. There is no comprehensive classification of the factors affecting the branding of employers, especially in the banking industry. Therefore, in this approach, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting employer branding and measure the effect of each of these factors in the mentioned industry, which is the main aim of this study

Contextual Factors and the Creativity of Employees: The Mediating Effects of Role Stress and Intrinsic Motivation on Economy and Finance Organization in Tehran
Get PDFCreative frontline service employees may be crucial in ensuring organizational performance. However, scant research has investigated the antecedents of service employee creativity. This research applies Role Theory to enlighten this issue. The findings reveal that: role conflict and role ambiguity have opposing effects on creativity; Role Theory complements Cognitive Evaluation Theory as a mediational mechanism for the influence of contextual factors on creativity; and, against current thinking, contextual factors also affect creativity directly. The results underscore the need to reconceptualize the mechanisms by which contextual factors influence creativity, and suggest how managers can promote creativity through the work environment.

Abstract This present study is descriptive and aims to examine the attitudes of women with disabilities who reside in the city of Tehran toward childbearing. The studied population consists of all married women with disabilities in Tehran (1500 people) based on the results of 2017 National Population and Housing Census in Iran. The sampling method was a systematic sampling method and the size of the sample was determined through Cochran formula through which 300 people were selected as the sample of the study. The required data for the Study were collected through questionnaires. Results of the factor analysis have proved that there is no correlation between the measures of any factor with the measures of other factors and any factor has its own impact on the disabled women’s attitude toward child bearing. According to calculations of the Chi-square test, there is a significant correlation between the attitudes of women with disabilities toward childbearing and economic, social and cultural factors. There is also a significant relationship between the attitudes of women with disabilities toward child bearing and the number of their brothers and sisters as well as their family size. There was a significant relationship between the attitudes of women with disabilities toward child bearing and social welfare, circumferential justice and benefiting from social security. Regression results have shown that demographic factors with over 57%, social factors with more than 69%, economic factors with more than 58% and cultural factors with more than 63% have been effective in determining the attitudes of women with disabilities towards childbearing.
Keywords: Attitude, Disability, Disabled Women and Childbearing.

Stagnation, Regression, Progression - Phasen der Entwicklung lexikalischer Kompetenz im Deutschen als Fremdsprache bei italienischen Studierenden
No full textIl contributo si occupa dello sviluppo delle competenze lessicali, un tema che è sempre stato al centro della didattica delle lingue straniere e che si riflette sempre più spesso negli ultimi due decenni nella ricerca. Tuttavia, gli studi sullo sviluppo delle competenze lessicali nell'insegnamento del tedesco come lingua straniera tra gli studenti (adulti) sono ancora una rarità. L'autrice vorrebbe dare un contributo in tal senso affrontando lo sviluppo della competenza lessicale in tedesco tra gli studenti italiani adulti e presentando i risultati parziali di uno studio a lungo termine condotto con studenti italiani presso l'Università di Cagliari nel periodo 2009-2013, in cui è stato dimostrato un aumento del vocabolario usato nella lingua straniera. Per quanto riguarda l'acquisizione del vocabolario invece, rivela l'importanza di studi a lungo termine, in quanto consentono di determinare in modo esaustivo le competenze dei partecipanti nei test nelle aree di riferimento..The present study deals with the development of lexical competence, a topic which has always been a central topic for foreign language didactics, and which is increasingly reflected in the last two decades at the research level. Nevertheless, studies on the development of lexical competence in German (as a foreign language) teaching among (adult) learners are still a rarity. The author would like to make a contribution to this by addressing the development of lexical competence in German as a foreign language among adult Italian learners and by presenting the partial results of a long-term study conducted with Italian students at the University of Cagliari in the period 2009-2013, in which an increase in the vocabulary used in German was proven. With regards to the acquisition of foreign language vocabulary it also reveals the importance of long-term studies, as they make it possible to comprehensively determine the qualities of the test persons in the corresponding competence area.Für die Fremdsprachendidaktik stellt die Entwicklung der lexikalischen Kompetenz seit jeher ein zentrales Thema dar, was sich in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten auch auf der Forschungsebene zunehmend widerspiegelt. Dennoch sind Untersuchungen zum Aufbau lexikalischer Kompetenz im DaF-Unterricht bei (erwachsenen) Lernern immer noch eine Seltenheit. Die vorliegende Studie möchte gerade dazu einen Beitrag leisten, indem sie die Entwicklung lexikalischer Kompetenzen im Deutschen als Fremdsprache bei erwachsenen italienischen Lernern thematisiert und die Teilergebnisse einer Langzeitstudie vorstellt, die im Zeitraum 2009-2013 an der Universität Cagliari mit italienischen Studierenden durchgeführt wurde, wobei grundsätzlich ein Anstieg des verwendeten Wortschatzes im Deutschen belegt werden konnte. Anhand dieser Studie zum Erwerb fremdsprachlichen Wortschatzes wird außerdem die Wichtigkeit von Langzeitstudien deutlich, da sie es ermöglichen, die Qualitäten der Probanden in dem entsprechenden Kompetenzbereich umfassend zu ermitteln
