The Antecedents of Work-School Conflict and Work-School EnrichmentRobertson, Katelyn 26 February 2021 (has links)
The cost of higher education is rapidly increasing on both a global scale (Creed, French & Hood, 2015), and in the local South African context (Calitz & Fourie, 2016). This rise in costs has seen a commensurate increase in the number of university students who work, largely as a means to fund the increasing cost of their higher education (Butler, 2007; Cinamon, 2016; Owen, Kavanagh & Dollard, 2018). These working students are frequently referred to as non-traditional students in the academic literature. The psychological experiences of non-traditional students who work is a pertinent and expanding area of interest for multiple stakeholders (Owen et al., 2018). These experiences can be classified through the constructs of Work-School Conflict (WSC) and Work-School Enrichment (WSE), which refer, respectively, to the negative and positive aspects of the work-school interface (Butler, 2007). The antecedents of WSC and WSE experiences amongst nontraditional working students have to date not received any empirical attention in the South African research literature. This study aims to address this gap by contributing to the national body of knowledge in this area. The measures used were secondary self-report survey data completed by post-graduate university students who are simultaneously engaged in paid work (N=330). Multiple regression analyses indicated that time demands, job demands and social support from work explained a significant proportion of WSC; whilst job-school congruence and social support within the work context were statistically significant predictors of WSE. Moderation analyses revealed that social support at work influenced the relationship between job demands and WSC, whilst employee role saliency significantly interacted with job-school congruence to influence WSE. The results of this study are aligned to international work-school research findings, which support the additive model of job characteristics as antecedents to WSC and WSE. These results also provide deeper insight into the less explored moderation effects of work resources and demands interacting to influence WSC and WSE. Theoretical, management and educational implications of these findings are considered in relation to the existing literature.

Another facet is to compare the results of the research conducted with the results of the research "How to increase the number of children in hockey clubs?" The last aim is to perform a regression analysis of the obtained research results. Methods: The research carried out in this diploma thesis mainly uses elements of quantitative research methods. The questioning of the public was carried out by means of a written questionnaire survey. Other methods used in the diploma thesis were the comparison method and the regression analysis method. Results: The thesis brings an uncharted view of the real financial and time demands of ice hockey in the youth categories in the Czech Republic. Interested public see ice hockey as a financial and time-consuming sport. Another integral part of the diploma thesis is to compare the results of the research conducted with the results of the research "How to increase the number of children in hockey clubs?" These results present a comprehensive view of the whole issue. The regression analysis then showed the growing trend of the financial and time demands of this sport...
