Kompetenstransfer handlar om att överföra sin kunskap och kompetensfrån en situation till en annan. Tidigare forskning har belyst transfer i en utbildningskontext men inte i en kontext av arbetsbyten. Syftet med studien var att se om variablerna: self-efficacy, karriärplanering, samt personlighetsdraget samvetsgrannhet har ett samband medkompetenstransfer i en kontext av omställning och byte av arbete. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av en webbaserad enkätundersökning och urvalet bestod av 62 personer som erhölls av ett omställningsföretag. Resultatet från en hierarkisk regressionsanalys visade att karriärplaneringsvariabeln karriärbyte hade ett signifikant samband med kompetenstransfer; personer som inte bytt bransch upplever mer kompetenstransfer än de som bytt bransch. Denna studie fann inte att variablerna samvetsgrannhet och self-efficacy var viktiga för kompetenstransfer vid arbetsbyten. Flera studier med ett större underlag behövs för att kunna dra mer pålitliga slutsatser huruvida dessa variabler spelar roll eller inte.

Most low-achieving students continue to perform poorly throughout school. However, not all students remain on this achievement trajectory; a subset of initially low-achieving students appear to break this achievement pattern. This phenomenon is called academic resilience, a student’s capacity to overcome prior academic difficulty. The proposed study investigates low-income, low performing sixth-grade students, who will be classified into three groups based on their academic improvement in eighth grade: resilient (large improvement), buoyant (moderate improvement), and nonresilient (little or no improvement). The purpose of this study is to examine the differences among resilience groups on Bandura’s (1997) sources of self-efficacy as a function of sex and ethnicity, using a 3x3x2 MANOVA. The implications for the proposed study suggested the development of an intervention to cultivate the four sources of self-efficacy for low-performing students in order to increase academic resilience. This report also includes an evaluation plan, which outlines the essential components from a theoretical intervention program, a logic model for this program, and the proposed method to measure the reported outcomes. / text

Bakgrund: Långvarig smärta är ett vanligt förekommande problem och bidrar till lidande för den det drabbar, samt för med sig stora kostnader för samhället. Multimodal rehabilitering (MMR) sker i team utifrån ett biopsykosocialt synsätt och är en lämplig rehabiliteringsform för personer med långvarig smärta. Detta betyder att förutom fysiologiska aspekter omfattar behandlingen kognitiva, psykologiska, beteendemässiga och arbetsrelaterade komponenter. Syfte: Att utvärdera effekten av MMR för patienter med långvarig smärta inom primärvård avseende upplevd aktivitetsbegränsning, self-efficacy, samt sömnkvalitet. Metod: Studien hade en jämförande kvasiexperimentell design. Redan insamlad data via självskattningsformulär från 50 patienter analyserades efter MMR jämfört med före. De mätinstrument som användes var Pain Disability Index, Self-efficacy Scale samt två frågor om sömn. Resultat: Patienternas upplevda aktivitetsbegränsning minskade signifikant efter rehabiliteringen och self-efficacy ökade signifikant. Inga skillnader i sömnen kunde ses efter MMR jämfört med före. Slutsats: MMR i denna form förbättrade patienternas upplevda aktivitetsbegränsning och ökade self-efficacy, men avseende sömnkvalitet framkom ingen skillnad. För att bättre kunna möta och behandla sömnproblem hos smärtpatienter föreslås förbättringar i innehållet i MMR angående de behandlingsmodaliteter som erbjuds.

The present study examined interrelationships between attachment levels, relationship efficacy, career decision-making self efficacy, and life satisfaction. Concepts from social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) and attachment theory (Bowlby, 1973) were integrated to provide a framework for the current study. A conceptual model was proposed and tested to answer the research question: does relationship efficacy and career decision self efficacy fully or partially mediate the relationship between attachment and life satisfaction? This model was constructed to test mediational effects of career decision making self efficacy and relationship efficacy between the variables of attachment and life satisfaction. An alternative model was also developed to test for a direct relationship between attachment and life satisfaction (i.e., in addition to the indirect paths through the mediational variables). Structural equation modeling methods were utilized to test the model. Results indicated an adequate fit for both the primary and the alternate model. Findings indicated that relationship efficacy and career decision self efficacy partially mediate the relationship between attachment and life satisfaction. Theoretical, research, and practice implications are discussed in relation to the findings. Methodological limitations to the study and future directions are offered. The study concluded that adult attachment is a fundamental source of efficacy information and operates as a critical component in people's perceptions of their efficacy in the domains of relationships and career decisions, both of which impact life satisfaction. An integrated model based on social cognitive theory and attachment theory contributed to existing knowledge and may help generate future research. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
