The population of older adults is a global problem that poses a serious threat to mankind. However, the aging process is inevitable. Aging contributes to a high burden of multimorbidity worldwide, particularly among the elderly. Multimorbidity can lead to a decreased quality of life, increased healthcare utilization, and higher mortality rates. Effective self-management is crucial for individuals with multimorbidity to manage their conditions, reduce healthcare costs and improve their quality of life. Nonetheless, self-management can be challenging for elderly patients. They need to employ self-motivation, lifestyle modification, and emotional resilience to promote self-management. This study aims to explore the perceived benefit of cultivating self-motivation, lifestyle modification and emotional resilience among elderly patients with multimorbidity, which will facilitate improvement of health outcomes and quality of life. A qualitative interpretative phenomenological study using in-depth interview guide with 30 purposively sampled elderly patients with multimorbidity was conducted. The study took place at the University Teaching Hospitals – Adult Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyse the data. Three themes that included self-motivation, lifestyle modification, and emotional resilience were developed. The study concluded that elderly multimorbidity patients need to develop a positive attitude towards self-management if they are to achieve the best health outcomes and improve their quality of life. Novelty was demonstrated by this study being one of its kind that seeks to cultivate self-motivation, lifestyle modification and emotional resilience to strengthen patient participation in their own care.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has increasingly been recognized as a pivotal factor in enhancing business performance by fostering improved leadership, effective team collaboration, and strategic decision-making. As organizations evolve in an ever-changing, complex environment, the ability to recognize, understands, and regulates emotions-both on an individual and collective level-becomes integral to success. EI positively impacts various business outcomes, including productivity, innovation, employee engagement, customer loyalty, and profitability. By drawing on existing literature, empirical research, and insights from organizational leaders, this paper explores the significant contributions of EI to business performance. It delves into the mechanics of how EI influences leadership behavior, team dynamics, and decision-making, while emphasizing the essential role it plays in shaping organizational culture and values. Furthermore, this study provides actionable recommendations for integrating EI into leadership development programs, team-building exercises, and organizational strategies to optimize business performance, drive competitive advantage, and foster a sustainable work environment. Through fostering EI, organizations can nurture a workforce that is not only more resilient but also better equipped to navigate challenges, collaborate across functions, and contribute to longterm business success.

Emotional Intelligence (EI), is a soft skill and can be understood as the capacity to recognize, understand, manage, and utilize emotions positively of oneself and of teams. In contemporary times high-levels of Emotional Intelligence (EI) a characteristic associated with Transformational leadership has emerged as a pivotal factor in navigating interpersonal dynamics, enhancing motivation, building team cohesiveness and effectively resolving conflicts to create cohesive, collaborative workplaces. Through a comprehensive review, this paper explores how managers with transformational leadership having high Emotional Intelligence (EI) levels foster resilience, enhance communication, strengthen team dynamics and resolve conflict. It presents case studies from leading international well-known companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson that have adopted EI and how that has impacted their success. This paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how emotional intelligence can be leveraged to become a driving force for innovation and achievement of organisational success in modern day organisations.

Small organizations have not prioritized assessing a manager's level of emotional intelligence before selection or promotion thus they are ill-prepared to provide proper training to bring awareness to the importance of the role of emotional intelligence in leadership. The purpose of this Action Research study was to examine and develop the role of emotional intelligence in leaders at a small financial organization in Massachusetts, USA. Participants and data collected in both cycles of this study consisted of ten employee participants varying in age from 26 to 75 and varying in job role categories between admin, specialist, or executive through individual employee interviews, 2 focus groups, and 10 document reviews. Action steps of establishing a set of core organizational values and using those values to develop a 360-degree performance feedback framework were designed, implemented, and evaluated in Cycle 2 to continually instill the assessment of emotionally intelligent traits and abilities in the organization. Findings included emotional intelligence being assessed as abilities, the perception of effective leadership varying based on employee preferred leadership styles, employee morale maintained or increasing with emotionally intelligent leaders, and training emotional intelligence to improve with a consistent feedback structure through the 360-degree performance review format. Implications for the organization are continued enforcement of organizational core values and evaluating the use of the values-based 360-degree framework to foster continuous feedback.

Introduction. The students’ academic goals along their learning process and their stay in a university could be of interest to the university teachers, because such information should guide teachers on how to motivate their students. Furthermore, there appear to be relevant to know if their academic goals are stable among students in a specific degree or not, for example among physiotherapy students, and if academic goals vary depending on each particular undergraduate group. Objective. To analyse the evolution (3-years follow-up) in terms of academic goals in year-2 Physiotherapy students at University of Vigo. Method. Prospective study. The Spanish version of The Skaalvik goals questionnaire (1997) was used. This scale access 4 types of academic goals: task goals (TG) (centred on to learn and to increase knowledge), self-enhancing goals (SEG) (centred on to show a better performance than the others did), self-defeating goals (SDG) (centred on to see poorer skilled in the eyes of t...

The present study is an attempt to study the Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health among athletes and nonathletes. In this study, some qualitative analysis was done on the sample by asking them to fill up the questionnaires of Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health. The sample comprised of 15 athletes and 15 non athletes. Statistical method applied on the data was t-test along with standard deviation. Emotional Intelligence Scale is developed by Anukool Hyde, Sanjyot Pethe and Upinder Dhar and Mental Health Scale is developed by Dr. Kamlesh Verma. There is a significant difference between athletes and non-athletes on both Emotional Intelligence and Mental Health which shows that athletes have higher Emotional intelligence and better mental health than non-athletes because athletes are involved in sports and physical activity that may represent resources, that don't only contribute to an increased wellbeing but also to an improved self-concept as a cognitive representation of athlete's mental health-status.

Introduction. In the past two decades, increased attention has been given to the importance of non-cognitive factors in learning, and in academic, social and professional success. There are two quite interrelated variables that influence behavior when facing stress in the academic context, resilience and coping strategies, and only recently have they received attention in the university context. Method. A total of 117 university students took part in the research, which used the EEC coping and CD-RISC resilience scales. Descriptive and association analyses as well as MANOVAs were performed in order to confirm students' profile of resilience and strategies for coping with stress, to observe the type of relationship between the two constructs, and to analyze the possible effect of gender and type of university on their resilience and coping strategy profile. Results. The research reveals medium-high scores in resilience, and general use of problemfocused coping strategies. Not only is the connection between variables important, but gender and type of university were shown to have effects on tenacity, spirituality, self-instructions, action directed at the causes, positive re-appraisal and firmness, and religious support. Discussion and conclusions. The research provides evidence that there is a connection between resilience and coping strategies, and offers important information about how some indicators of the two can be influenced by gender and context, such as the type of university. Further inquiry into these questions is needed, and they may be especially interesting for university admission and guidance departments.

People always quote, “We are all the same.” Is this really the case? For us human beings, are we really the same with no slight difference? When we say “same”, it is about the way we communicate, our etiquette, our lifestyle, and our emotions as well. This quote is just flawed in a specific perspective, especially when we examine our way of learning language and how we get motivated and most importantly, motivate ourselves; we are the opposite of the same! For this purpose, it becomes a major essentiality to inspect or investigate the theoretical anatomy of “motivation” in second language acquisition and learning. This paper offers to throw light on the essence of motivation and mainly „selfmotivation‟ as a catalyst to reach linguistic self- confidence and therefore self-competence in linguistic communication. This quantitative research scenario examined the contribution of Egyptian EFL learners‟ motivation, self- motivation, and linguistic self-confidence in their proficiency, as w...

Introduction. The relevance of studying the emotions of employees in organizations is due to the economic and psychological crisis, as a result of which many managers are trying to cope with their stress at work and, in some cases, their job duties remotely.
The study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and individual characteristics of self-actualization in managers of a large trading company.
Materials and methods. Forty employees from various trade organizations took part in the study. The following methods were used: the emotional intelligence assessment technique (N. Hall) and the self-actualization test (SAT) (E. Sjostrom). Spearman rank correlation method was used.
Research results. A reliable direct relationship between self-motivation and contact was obtained (rs = 0.460; p ≤ 0.05). Self-motivation, defined as managing one's emotions, determines a person's ability to quickly establish contacts with people and communicate.
The feedback of self-motivation and self-esteem was revealed (rs = -0.555; p ≤ 0.05). According to the respondents' evaluations, social success is not affected by a person's ability to manage emotions and feelings.
An inverse relationship of empathy and self-esteem was also revealed (rs = -0.463; p ≤ 0.05). Respondents believe that empathy with others can hinder the achievement of social success, recognition, and self-esteem.
Conclusion. Emotional intelligence of employees: contributes to developing their leadership skills, increases stress resistance at work, job satisfaction, motivation, interest in organizational learning, reduces emotional exhaustion and fatigue, and is a means of conflict resolution. All this has a positive effect on the company's efficiency.

Workers of all organizations need to be satisfied to facilitate their input towards the attainment of organizational goals. Construction workers like all other workers need this sort of satisfaction enables them give off their best. The purpose of this study was to analyze and find out the factors influencing the job satisfaction of construction workers who were working in private construction firms in Bangladesh. Data were collected from building construction workers of different private construction firms in Dhaka city. A total of 144 construction workers were interviewed randomly with a structured questionnaire. To meet the objective of this study individual bivariate analysis and factor analysis of job satisfaction of building construction workers are considered here. The Cronbach's "Alpha" reliability estimate for the 30 items was 0.897. This study worked with six main factors with twenty one dimensions related to job satisfaction. Out of which four factors such as motivation, working environment, human relations, and supervision by supervisor are moderately correlated to job satisfaction scoring 0.679, 0.555, 0.650 & 0.615 respectively. The findings indicate that 95% of the respondents are male and confirms the fact that the construction workers of this sector are male dominated. The age distribution of respondents that majority of respondents 71 (49.3%) out of a total 144 are aged between 21-30 years. It is evident from the study that regression model is able to express 63% of total variation. Human relations, motivation, working environment, and supervision by supervisor are the most influencing factors in framing job satisfaction of building construction workers since coefficient beta scores 0.323, 0.284, 0.276, & 0.235 respectively. So the management should focus on the above mentioned issues for making the workers happier with their job.

Literacy adult courses are traditionally delivered as synchronous face-to-face courses. Mobile technology introduced into literacy education enables a blended approach to learning by allowing for time and place flexibility. Literacy Uplift is a research project that aims to define design guidelines and principles for a mobile adult literacy learning system. Tabuenca, Kalz, Drachsler, and Specht (2015) explore the importance of tracking and monitoring time devoted to learning with mobile tools and their effect on selfregulated learning. Their work shows that there is a positive correlation between self-regulated learning and monitoring study-time, as well as between self-regulated learning and study-time planning. These authors also noticed that complexity of the tool has a negative impact on a learner's ability to use and integrate the tool into their schedule, hence forfeiting the benefits of the monitoring. With tools such as Experience API (xAPI) integrated into the system, time monitoring and logging can be done automatically without additional actions from the learner beyond giving one-time permission. Time spent on learning as well as other learner analytics can be visualized using various tools. These tools can not only show individual progress, but can also present the learner's situation within the context of a group when possible. Such information, combined with positive reinforcement through notifications and reminders, can be very motivating. As reported by Tabuenca et al. (2015), notifications and reminders have a positive impact on learner results. These authors suggest that notifications containing learning analytics and generic tips on self-regulation may positively influence time management skills and, as a result, improve the learner's ability to incorporate learning episodes into everyday life. Such reminders create occasional "stop and think" moments that, if containing adequately contextualized messages, can support learners in the capacity of learning to learn, especially when these notifications are combined with suitable visualizations. Tang and Kay (2014) claim that rewards and reward schedules are powerful techniques that can engage users in self-monitoring and reflection. Providing possibilities for the learner to see how they do in comparison to other learners in their course can encourage the learner to selfmonitor more closely, and develop the habit to maintain this behaviour over time (Zichermann & Cunningham, 2011). In this presentation, we analyze the design guidelines for a mobile adult literacy learning solution, focusing on the self-regulation and self-motivation elements required for successful learning using a blended learning approach. The analysis also points to potential technological solutions that can support implementation of these guidelines. Time tracking and reminders, visualization tools, and gamification elements as motivation and guidance tools in self-regulated learning are also discussed.

The old schoolyard/street game of HIT-THE-PENNY that we played as kids was definitely a boredom breaker, as well as a "teaching skill" that was unbeknownst to us. If you're not familiar with the game, here's how it goes: Find 2 sidewalk boxes, both players stay behind their respective lines at the back/end of the boxes. Place the penny in the middle, or the line/groove separating the boxes. Use a rubber ball and try to hit the penny. 21 point wins. If you hit the penny and it flips from heads--->tails, or tails--->heads, you receive 2 points, otherwise, all "hits" are 1 point. One rule: Leaning in, moving closer to the penny from above, is not allowed. This can get out of hand because a player can just stretch him- or herself out and almost be right on top of the penny--not fair. Where does EI fit into this little game? You need a whole lot of concentration and emotional control, or self-regulation, to keep your hand steady and throw the ball. In simple terms, you have to keep your nerves or emotions in check. A shaky hand won't score many points, and as the game winds down, and the score gets close, players need the emotional control to throw the ball and "connect." And isn't this true about learning in the classroom: you need your focus or focusing skills and your emotions have to be steady, calm, balanced, so you can learn. Unfocused and uncontrolled emotions aren't a recipe for learning--and for taking tests. With hit-the-penny you have a game that teach crucial skills for learning and learning how to learn.

The Townsend Emotional Intelligence Inventory (TEQ-i®) is developed to measure Emotional Intelligence and has application for both personal development as well as effective workplace functioning. Emotional Intelligence is a form of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor your own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide your thinking and action.
The TEQ-i® measures a range of emotional intelligence facets and provides a detailed perspective of your existing emotional competence levels. The TEQ-i® then provides a detailed emotional competence development guideline based on your identified emotional intelligence strengths and challenges. Because abilities such as being able to handle frustration, controlling emotions, and getting along with other people (emotional competence) matters much more than IQ and technical skills, combined, the Townsend Emotional Intelligence Inventory identifies your emotional competence gaps and provides targeted development direction for optimal functioning in the workplace and society.
The questionnaire was developed by Dr Gary C. Townsend of Skillworx Africa (Pty) Ltd and is based on the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organisations Emotional Intelligence Framework.

The benefits of self-regulated learning have been confirmed. However, research is still pending on motivational self-regulation. We studied the use of attainment value and cost strategies in a study sample of 821 secondary education students. Our results showed that the students made considerable use of both strategies, that these strategies correlated positively with each other, that females made a significantly greater use of the cost strategy, and that greater use of each of the strategies was associated with a distinct multiple-goal student group. The results also enabled us to construct a general explanatory model of these strategies based on academic goals and self-efficacy, and independent of students’ sex or multiple-goal group.

Reading is about inner-motivation, visualization, "mind-movies," feelings, thoughts, and students' connected real-life experiences to the words in front of him/her. As a non-traditional educator for many years, I don't believe we can make Johnny read by putting a ton of books on his reading list. "Making" him/her read--no way, there's no motivation, just dread, frustration, and apathy. In my experience, the motivation to read has to come from the inside out, not the outside in. You won't create life-long readers by piling book after book on children. I had a father who said to me on open-school night: "I don't understand, I buy my son books all the time and they fill up his room, but he doesn't pick one up and read it." I teach my students about the inner processes of reading: the mind's eye that visualizes the words read from a page; a silent inner reading voice that reads the words from a page that become mental image pictures on an imaginary TV screen in the mind's magic reading theater, and from those images feelings, thoughts, ideas, and experiences are triggered, creating a depth to reading, where children are "avatars," navigating of this rich inner landscape totally created inside, and by, the reader. The cartoon shows this idea of making Johnny read by the shear amount of books on a reading list. All the child wants to do is speed read through the list to complete the immense, unrealistic assignment, creating, in my opinion, an unmotivated, distracted, and bored reader.

The Contemplation Music Writing Project is all about kids searching inner experiences while listening to music. The music soothes them inside so they can visualize events in their lives--both positive and negative--and contemplate, write about, and discuss them with classmates and teacher. The students' responses, or "contemplations," ranged the gamut from real-life experiences to fantasies, dreams, memories, and reflections. After practicing contemplation throughout the school year the kids learned to express themselves honestly, directly, and sensitively. As you read their writings, you can imagine the depth and intensity our post-discussions took. Usually we completed 100 or more contemplations by the end of the year. The children always appreciated contemplation after lunch because they knew they could chill, listen to some sounds, and write about their lives and feel inner peace afterwards. One result of this original type of writing was the effects/affects it had on the overall classroom environment--both academically and existentially. In simple terms, contemplation brought classes together.

This article was written about my book, MOTIVATING TEEN AND PRETEEN READERS: HOW TEACHERS AND PARENTS CAN LEAD THE WAY (Rowman & Littlefield Education). It describes the transformational process the minute you open up a book to read, e.g., visualization, where words are changed into mind-pictures, feelings, thoughts, and experiences. The article also explains how a passion-based Q & A technique about reading processes and reading life experiences can develop, improve, and expand a child's self-or-inner-motivation to read. The diverse, creative, and open-ended questions trigger a search into what I call, the "reading self," and takes you on a one-year journey into reading life. The purpose of the questioning technique is to get kids thinking about reading and its effects/affects on real life experiences. "Let the questions help you discover the real story of your reading self, mind, and world. You will amaze yourself by what you find out."

I've been on both ends: as a classroom teacher and basketball coach, and physical education teacher. And there are connections between academic and sports skills. Some examples are: concentration/focus, awareness and mindfulness, self-regulation (emotional intelligence), feeling, thinking (critical/creative), recall, motivation, attitude, resilience, self-and-other communication (social-and-emotional learning).

Reading is a tough sell these days because kids have so many distractions, which includes just getting distracted while they read, losing concentration for all sorts of reasons, and not being motivated intrinsically, or from the INSIDE OUT. To help out teachers in the sadly forgotten area of motivation, I compiled a list of "sparks" to inspire adolescent readers with creative ideas and questions. They can be use as meaningful downtime motivators, and if presented over the course of a school year, would have positive effects/affects on the cyber psyches of today's children. Use these TRIGGERS or catalysts to jumpstart an inner-motivation to read, where students draw their own conclusions, make judgments and decisions about their reading independently, without someone "making" them enjoy reading.

Reading is about an INSIDE FEEL, an inner motivation, where a child reads because s/he wants to read. By asking kids to read quantities of books to make her/him a better and an inspired reader, will not make Johnny or Jane a "reader." In my opinion, as an educator, you have to show children the landscape of inner worlds created by writers and show/help him/her navigate them via visualization. Let them re-create these internal worlds of writers in their minds and imaginations and they will "get the picture(s).

Getting employees to work smart or do their best is a prime concern in every business organization. The organizations might have been using the traditional techniques for motivating their employees in order to improve their performance. Those techniques provide more importance to extrinsic motivational factors and largely depends on the managers' ability to effectively manipulate or influence those extrinsic factors. The article attempts to explore the idea if maintaining a status quo would really help manager to get the best output from the employees or could there be any other suitable alternative to achieve business goals. Since the motivation driver and needs of the work force have been changing a great deal in the contemporary business scenario, we need to rethink and make an assessment of the millennial generation. The article makes an attempt to review the scope of self-motivation and its role in improving the performance of the employee. The assumption here is that intrinsic motivation is a must to survive and grow and the management may have a very
