The Relationship between Multiple Conflicts and Supporting Innovation and Mediating Role of Resistance against Change, Organizational Trust and Psychological Empowerment among the Employees of Keshavarzi Bank in Western Azerbaijan of IranBehnam Marandi, Mohammad Hassani, Alireza Ghalei
pp. 2019-2031 | Article Number: ijese.2017.134
Abstract This study aimed to examine the relationship between multiple conflicts and supporting innovation and mediating role of resistance against changes, organizational trust and psychological empowerment among the employees of Keshavarzi Bank in Western Azerbaijan of Iran. This study is correlation using descriptive methods and structural equation modeling. Statistical population included 627 employees of Keshavarzi Bank in Western Azerbaijan. Using Morgan Table and stratified random sampling, the sample size of 366 people was obtained. To gather data, standard questionnaires were used. Using Chronbach Alpha, reliability values of organizational trust (0.92), psychological empowerment (0.70), resistance against change (0.82), multiple conflicts (0.82), and supporting innovation (0.90) were estimated. To evaluate the relationship between latent and measured variables in the conceptual pattern, structural equation modeling was used. Results showed that the correlation coefficient between multiple conflicts and resistance against change is positive and significant. Also, multiple conflicts and empowerment are significantly and negatively correlated. A positive correlation was found between trust, empowerment, and their likely consequences, supporting innovation and a negative correlation with resistance against change. Thus, multiple conflicts could predict innovation with the mediation of psychological empowerment and resistance against change, indicating the importance of concerning multiple conflicts and the resulting climate from it in work environments.

Research of Social Appearance Anxiety and Self-Efficacy of the Students Entered University by Special Talent ExamMustafa Vural, Nurgül Keskin & Yaşar Çoruh
pp. 2063-2071 | Article Number: ijese.2017.138
Abstract This research is performed to investigate the social appearance anxiety and self-efficacy of the students entering the university with special talent exams from different fields. Survey method and relational research aimed at collecting data to identify the specific characteristics of a group are used in the study. Questionnaire technique which is frequently used in the survey method is used as a data collection technique in the study. The research group constitutes the students who entered Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University by a special talent exam. A total of 156 students, as 53 women and 103 men, attending to the School of Physical Education and Sports, Departments of Art Teaching and Music Teaching, are participated in study voluntarily. In the evaluation of the data; descriptive statistics such as frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation and t-test, 2x2 Variance Analysis (ANOVA) and correlation tests are used as the statistical method. As a result of the analyzes performed; it is found that the social appearance anxiety of the students are moderate and their self-efficacy levels are over the middle. It is determined that self-efficacy and social appearance anxiety do not differ according to gender, but self-efficacy and social appearance anxiety differ according to the departments. According to another finding obtained; it is concluded that the self-efficacy perceptions of the participants do not differ according to classes and their social appearance perceptions differ according to the classes.

pp. 2073-2087 | Article Number: ijese.2017.139
Abstract This study aimed at explaining and identifying desirability indictors and components of educational space of multi-grade classes comparing current situation of educational space of these classes with desirable indicators; for this purpose, the combined approach- qualitative with exploratory type and quantitative with descriptive-analytical type- was used. Statistical population of study consisted of experts and teachers of multi-grade classes in prosperous and Non-prosperous provinces; these members were selected using purposeful sampling method. Semi-structured interview was used as research instrument in qualitative part and current situation was observed in descriptive-analytical method based on indicators and components of educational space of multi-grade classes. Coding and categorizing applied to analyze data obtained from interviews. To determine reliability of data, extracted categories were given to interviewees. Findings indicated that desirability components of educational space in multi-grade classes consisted of color, light, audio pacification, ventilation, classroom arrangement, area, auxiliary facilities, cooling, heating, computer and instructional materials. Moreover, findings showed that multi-grade classes in prosperous provinces was at optimal level in terms of color, light, audio pacification, ventilation, heating, and computer facilities while this criterion was at average level in terms of classroom arrangement, area, auxiliary facilities, cooling, and instructional materials. Multigrade classes in non-prosperous provinces were optimal in terms of light and ventilation while at lower than average level in terms of other indicators.

Achievement level of Science Process Skills of Junior Secondary Students: Based on a Sample of Grade Six and Seven Students from Sri LankaC. T. K. Tilakaratnea & T. M. S. S. K. Y. Ekanayakeb
pp. 2089-2108 | Article Number: ijese.2017.140
Abstract Science proces skills are vital for the development of formal thinking ability of students for the betterment of a country. The aim of this study was to assess the level of understanding of basic science process skills (BSPS), among the grade six and seven students. The sample consisted of 3183 grade six students and 3289 grade seven students from one of the educational zones of Central Province of Sri Lanka. This sample symbolizes very rural, less privileged schools to super grade well equipped schools. A test was used to measure the level of understanding of BSPS and the research was conducted as a quantitative research. The data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that the majority of the students in both grades, achieved a medium level of understanding of BSPS. However, results for both grades, indicated that there are statistically significant differences in the level of understanding of BSPS between the medium of instruction (English and native languages) as well as between national and provincial schools. In addition, gender too plays a similar role for sixth graders. Nevertheless, no relationship was identified between the understanding level of SPS and gender for seventh grades.
