Headteacher visibility and teacher perceptions of headteacher trustworthiness: A comparison of the Ugandan context to existing theory     

Pamela R. Hallam  David M. Boren  Julie M. Hite  Steven J. Hite  Christopher B. Mugimu 《International Journal of Educational Development》2013

Students perform better academically in schools with high levels of trust. Yet school leaders primarily responsible for building cultures of trust may not know how to effectively build trust. This research examines how visibility of Ugandan headteachers is related to teachers’ perceptions of headteacher trustworthiness. Using grounded theory, we interviewed 28 Ugandan secondary school teachers in eight schools in Mukono District, Uganda. Findings indicate teachers’ perceptions of headteacher relational trustworthiness were related to headteacher visibility, with perceptions of both relational and competence trustworthiness being moderated by teacher and headteacher personal characteristics. Findings are comparable to U.S.-based research.  相似文献   

Sustainable support: a case of the role and deployment of teaching assistants implementing a unique early literacy intervention     

Gill Johnson 《Education 3-13》2018,46(7):729-740

The role and deployment of teaching assistants (TAs) (paraprofessionals) have changed significantly over the past decade; TAs in England hold greater responsibilities in terms of their wider role in classrooms and, specifically, in relation to their support for children with literacy difficulties in a primary school context. The impact of their role has been both questioned and challenged; nevertheless, in relation to literacy support, their role is widely valued by schools, and evidence exists that there is a positive impact on attainment. This paper reports on a case study of an early literacy intervention implemented by TAs which, it is argued, provides a positive model of TA deployment and literacy intervention implementation. It is also argued that this model of intervention offers a scaffold to the TAs themselves, who are then far better placed to scaffold the literacy learning of children with individual needs.  相似文献   

Trust-building in the mentoring of students of color     

Anne Chan 《Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning》2018,26(1):4-29

Trust is a vital component of mentoring, particularly when protégés are people of color who have experienced racism and discrimination. My findings are part of a larger study that culminated in the formulation of a theory of multicultural mentoring. Trust was found to be foundational for successful multicultural mentoring relationships. In my study of how mentors establish trust with graduate protégés of color, the following mentor practices were found to promote trust: listening, maintaining excellent communication, having a holistic understanding of the protégé, self-disclosing, using humor, being willing to discuss race and culture, acknowledging mistakes, and behaving with integrity. The mentors not only worked to establish interpersonal trust, they also attended to institutional and sociocultural trust concerns that impacted their protégés. Considerable time, skill, commitment, and effort are required for mentors to establish trust with protégés of color. Recommendations for the provision of mentor support are provided.  相似文献   

Conceptualizing the impact of corruption in national institutions and national stakeholder service systems on e-government maturity     

《International Journal of Information Management》2019

Research linking corruption and e-government maturity has mainly focused on the impact of e-government on corruption, and a vast majority of studies among them indicate that e-government can effectively lower the level of corruption in a country. As opposed to this well-developed stream of research, we explore and contribute to another potential but under-developed stream of research: the impact of corruption on e-government maturity. Drawing on the institutional perspective to construe corruption, we argue that corruption in three basic national institutions (political, legal, and media) and two national stakeholder service systems (business and citizen systems) in a country can hinder its e-government maturity. Specifically, we propose a holistic framework that conceptualizes the negative influence of corruption in national institutions and national stakeholder service systems on e-government maturity by drawing on five key theoretical perspectives—agency theory, control theory, theory of X-inefficiency, rent-seeking theory, and trust in institutions—grounded in corruption and information systems project management literature. The proposed conceptual framework is expected to (1) guide future empirical research on “corruption–e-government” phenomenon by providing rich theoretical explanations; and (2) offer a comprehensive strategy for practitioners and policymakers dealing with e-government projects and initiatives.  相似文献   

Emotional intelligence: The key to mitigating stress and fostering trust among software developers working on information system projects     

《International Journal of Information Management》2019

The successful accomplishment of information systems development (ISD) activities is reliant on the efforts of developers, who are largely responsible for creating the required system artefacts. Developers encounter numerous obstacles in their efforts to successfully complete activities, such as the need to develop software within highly-complex broad-ranging projects. These problems increase levels of stress, which subsequently affect developers’ ability to self-regulate their feelings and understanding. However, only scant attention has been paid to their personal skills and competency in overcoming these issues. This study therefore aimed to bridge this gap by exploring the impact of developers’ emotional intelligence on stress, trust, and performance. Our empirical results show that emotional intelligence mitigates stress and fosters trust among software developers working on information system projects. Additionally, role ambiguity increases the effect of stress on performance.  相似文献

随着人际信任研究的不断发展,家庭因素与青少年人际信任的研究重点已由最初的家庭外环境变量(如家庭结构、家庭经济状况等)逐渐扩展并聚焦在家庭内环境变量(如教养方式、亲子依恋).近年来该研究领域开始深入探讨其它因素在青少年教养方式与青少年人际信任之间所起的中介作用,以及青少年的人格、其他环境因素等变量与家庭因素的交互作用.最后总结了该领域研究的最新趋势和以往研究的不足.  相似文献   

诚信心理学研究的理论思考     

吴继霞  黄希庭 《西南师范大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2010,(6):7-12

诚信问题历来被人们所重视,但从心理学角度进行诚信的研究则只有很短的历史,我国心理学界关于诚信心理的研究尤其如此。诚信心理学研究的现状呈现出诚信概念的内涵不断拓宽、诚信心理结构研究结果的多样化和研究方法的单一性等特点。诚信是一种人格特质,还是中国人的行事风格;诚信因个体的差异性及有限理性、特质与状态的争论、外显与内隐的心理过程等问题的存在,给其进一步研究带来困难。因此,未来对诚信心理的研究宜采取质性研究的思路和量化研究的多维视角进行进一步的探索和突破。  相似文献

Political Discussion,Political News,and Internet Use: Factors of Media Trust in South Korea     

Hyunjung Kim  Yoon-jung Choi 《Communication Research Reports》2017,34(3):211-220

This study examines political and communicative factors predicting trust in mainstream newspapers and television by analyzing a set of survey data collected in South Korea. The results show that supporters of the opposition party are less likely to trust the mainstream news media than supporters of the ruling party. Daily Internet use negatively predicted trust in media only for nonpartisans. However, for supporters of the opposition party, daily Internet use moderated the interaction effect between political discussion and exposure to political news on trust in media.  相似文献
