When being able is not enough. The combined value of positive affect and self-efficacy for job satisfaction in teaching
Abstract This study examines how good strategies and praxis interplay with positive affect and self-efficacy to determine a teacher's job satisfaction, in the hypothesis that teaching effectively does not in itself guarantee satisfaction: positive affect and self-efficacy beliefs are needed. Self-assessment scales, designed to assess the use of efficient teaching strategies and praxes, self-efficacy in teaching, positive affect and job satisfaction, were completed by 399 teachers. Structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis revealed the mediating role of both positive affect and self-efficacy beliefs in the relationship between teaching strategies/praxes and job satisfaction.
To achieve sustainable using of energy,this paper firstly analyzed the present situation of energy supply and demand in Liaoning Province.Then based on related data from 1995 to 2011,established the simultaneous equation model to make quantitative analysis of the influence factors and the mutual relations between energy supply and demand in Liaoning Province.The results showed that the energy supply impacted the energy demand and energy demand directly impacted the energy economic efficiency.At the same time,energy economic efficiency effected the energy demand through influencing economic growth.In all of the effect factors,economy and population growth made a prominently influence on energy demand,and energy economic efficiency was greatly influenced by the energy conversion rate.
