Filipino domestic workers have been known to endure various challenges inherent to overseas employment, which may contribute to elevated psychological distress and suicidal behavior within this population. However, existing mental health programs are deemed insufficient due to their lack of long-term effectiveness and tailored approach. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the psychological data of female Filipino domestic workers with a history of suicide attempts and identify the psychosocial factors of suicide characterized by egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic suicide in pursuit of developing an effective mental health program. Archival research was employed, involving female Fili... More >

Digital connectivity in the aviation industry can foster an ``always-on'' culture, creating workplace telepressure, defined as the urge to respond to work-related messages immediately. Drawing on Conservation of Resources Theory, we examine whether job burnout mediates the association between workplace telepressure and turnover intention using survey data from 201 employees in China's civil aviation industry across multiple occupational categories. Results show that workplace telepressure is positively associated with job burnout, and that job burnout fully mediates the relationship between workplace telepressure and turnover intention. Psychological detachment serves as a key boundary condi... More >

This study moves beyond average price effects to examine systematic heterogeneity in how consumers cognitively construct meaning from ambiguous prices in credence-based professional services. We propose a dual-anchor framework---comprising the External Normative Reference Anchor (ENRA) and the Internal Value Identification Anchor (IVIA)---and validate it using survey data from 676 psychological counseling consumers. Factor and cluster analyses identify three distinct segments: Normative Anchors, Value Identifiers, and Cognitively Ambivalent consumers. These segments differ significantly in price-quality beliefs and selected perceived barriers (stigma and price sensitivity) but not in short-t... More >

Employee turnover remains a critical challenge in labor-intensive service industries such as logistics. Drawing on social exchange theory and the job demands–resources (JD–R) model, this study examines the relationship between organizational justice and turnover intention, with occupational burnout as a mediating mechanism. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 428 logistics employees in China, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping techniques. The results indicate that organizational justice is negatively associated with both occupational burnout and turnover intention, while burnout is positively related to turnover intention. Furthermore... More >

Singapore’s primary and secondary science education is widely recognized for its high performance through systemic reform. The synergistic innovation of its curriculum philosophy, textbook content, and assessment mechanisms warrants in-depth investigation. In terms of curriculum philosophy, Singapore has accomplished a value shift from being “driven by national needs” to “serving life and society,” embodying holistic education as scientific practice through the “3‘IN’” framework. The construction of textbook resources has transcended the boundaries of traditional print media, establishing a four-in-one ecosystem comprising “textbooks, activity books, digital platforms, an...

Rapid social transformation in metropolitan regions has significantly reshaped crime dynamics, particularly in large urban centers such as Delhi. Understanding whether crime escalation reflects structural social change or random fluctuation is crucial for policy formulation. This study investigates the relationship between social transformation and crime escalation in Delhi within the broader national context of India over the period 2010-2020. The analysis employs a quantitative time-series and econometric framework, including trend analysis, regression modeling, correlation, elasticity estimation, and structural diagnostics. Secondary data are obtained from the National Crime Records Burea... More >

South Korea's ascent as a video game titan is not a simple narrative of state-led industrial success. This paper analyzes the dualistic nature of the Korean government's game policy, from the post-financial crisis ``informatization'' drive and the foundational Game Industry Promotion Act, to restrictive regulations such as the ``Shutdown Law'' and debates on game addiction. The core argument is that this paradoxical policy environment—simultaneously fostering innovation while imposing social controls—created unique evolutionary pressure. This pressure inadvertently accelerated the industry's pivot to mobile platforms, refined hyper-competitive monetization models, and drove an aggressive... More >

Examination environments across Pakistan's university-affiliated college sector are designed to uphold fairness, integrity, and student dignity. However, systemic gaps in invigilation governance including absent standardized procedures, limited invigilator training, and inadequate accountability mechanisms allow arbitrary administrative practices to persist unchecked, harming student performance and psychological well-being. This mixed-methods study investigates repeated, unjustified search practices and documentation checks during formal examinations, documenting their ethical and procedural implications within Pakistan's broader examination governance framework. Data were gathered through... More >
