Similar innovative idea was also given by Howard Gardner (1983) in the theory of multiple intelligences, where human intelligence was differentiated into specific 'modalities', rather thanjust perceiving intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Human Ecological Systems Theory bestowed by Bronfenbrenner (1979) discribes that there are five various ecological systems arranged from the closest to the individual to the farthest and these systems directly or indirectly affects the human development. By considering above facts, the present study was designed to study the alliance of naturalistic intelligence with various human ecological factors affecting it. To accomplish this aim, in the present study, standardized Multiple Intelligence Assessment Tool developed by Kaur (2006) was directed on a study sample consisting of 200 students from higher secondary schools of both areas of Mahendergarh (Haryana), i.e., rural and urban. Results revealed that none of the human ecological variables were having significant association with the naturalistic intelligence of young adolescent girls.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126539696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Life satisfaction among the elderly has become an important issue in geriatric care. The available literature shows that it is affected by various physical, emotional, social and mental conditions. The satisfaction of the elderly with life depends on subjective and objective variables.

Less research attention has focused the moderating roles of work engagement on the connections of organizational citizenship behavior and workplace commitment to occupational burnout, especially in Nigeria where manpower deficit created by the migration of healthcare workers is on the increase. This study, therefore, investigated the extent to which organizational citizenship behavior and workplace commitment are connected with occupational burnout, and how work engagement moderates such relationships in 191 healthcare workers (55 males; 136 females), sampled from 3 public hospitals in Ondo State, Nigeria. The ages of the participants averaged 34.56 years (SD = 8.52). Results of the hierarchical multiple regression indicated that organizational citizenship behavior was significantly related with increased level of occupational burnout. Work engagement was significantly related with reduced level of occupational burnout in healthcare workers. Workplace commitment was significantly connected with increased level of occupational burnout. Results of moderation test revealed that when interacted with work engagement, organizational citizenship behavior and workplace commitment were related with reduced level of occupational burnout. To sustain the efficiency and well-being of healthcare workers (especially those who engage in extra-role behaviors & are psychologically attached to the organization's goals), management of public hospitals should enhance the work engagement level of employees in order to effectively manage their level of occupational burnout.","PeriodicalId":228398,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of positive psychology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117084264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
