Factors Influencing Employee’s Innovative Self-Efficacy in Architecture Firms: A Comprehensive Review
Innovation is the lifeblood of the architecture industry, driving progress and shaping the built environment. Within architecture firms, the innovative self-efficacy of employees plays a pivotal role in fostering creativity, problem-solving, and ultimately, the success of projects. This comprehensive review article delves into the myriad factors that influence an employee's innovative self-efficacy in architecture firms. By understanding and addressing these factors, firms can harness the full creative potential of their workforce, leading to enhanced design solutions and sustainable growth. The purpose of this research is to systematically examine and comprehensively understand the multifaceted factors that influence an employee's innovative self-efficacy within architecture firms. Innovative self-efficacy, the belief in one's capacity to generate novel ideas and contribute to innovation, is recognized as a critical driver of creativity, problem-solving, and project success in the architecture industry

This systematic review aims to identify and analyze the influential factors that affect the work role transition competency of double-qualified teachers, as well as the challenges they encounter in Gansu Province, China. Double-qualified teachers, who possess both professional teaching qualifications and subject-specific expertise, play a crucial role in the education system. Understanding the factors that influence their work role transition competency is essential for improving their professional development and addressing the challenges they face. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, this study synthesizes the key findings to provide insights into the unique context of Gansu Province
Effects of Cultural Dimensions on Teacher Identity: A Systematic Review
Teacher identity is a multifaceted construct influenced by various factors, including cultural dimensions. This systematic review aims to explore the effects of cultural dimensions on teacher identity. By synthesizing existing literature, we seek to provide insights into the ways in which cultural factors impact teachers' self-concept, teaching practices, and professional development. The review will also shed light on the implications for teacher education and the promotion of culturally responsive teaching. Through a comprehensive analysis of empirical studies, this research seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how culture shapes teacher identity in diverse educational contexts
A Review of Problem-Based Learning on Cognition and Creativity Skills Among Art Student in China
This research article conducts a systematic literature review of problem-based learning (PBL) in art education and its impact on the cognitive and creativity skills of students in China and globally. The concept of creativity education, which refers to the framework, policies, environments, and pedagogical practices used to foster creative thinking, has gained significant attention in recent years. Studies have shown that PBL can lead to increased motivation and engagement among students, as well as improved critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, there are challenges that need to be addressed to effectively implement PBL in art education, such as a lack of teacher training and a need for more research to understand how PBL can be effectively integrated into existing curricula. The article provides insight on the current state of PBL in art education and its potential impact on students' cognitive and creativity skills, offering guidance for future research in this field
Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) Strategies for the Growth of Digital Business in Small-medium Enterprise (SME)
Small and medium-sized business expansion is a dynamic process of development. It grows despite many alterations that exceed its organization, resources, and skills, as well as market demands. Its operations mostly leverage gaps in niche markets and integrate resources. Small and medium-sized businesses can rely on digital platforms to efficiently execute regulations and achieve faster growth in the Internet environment, but consumer and public evaluation is a crucial element in assisting the development of businesses. Consumers and the general public use Internet resources to publish information about businesses, products, and services. The electronic word-of-mouth generated by these evaluation effects not just the purchasing behavior of consumers, but also the enterprise brand value. The influence of electronic word-of-mouth is evident throughout the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. This study examines the mechanism of electronic word-of-mouth and focuses on the application strategy of electronic word-of-mouth in the evolution of small and medium-sized businesses
Does the Use of English-language Questionnaires in Cross-national Research Obscure National Differences?
Cross-national research is plagued by many obstacles. This article focuses on
one of these obstacles: the fact that research in more than one country usually involves
respondents with different native languages. We investigated whether the language of the
questionnaire influences response patterns. More specifically we tested whether responding
in a common language (English) leads to a homogenization of responses across countries,
hence obscuring national differences. We tested this hypothesis with a sample of 3419
undergraduate students in 24 countries. Half the students in each country received an
English-language questionnaire, while the other half received the same questionnaire in
their native language. Three types of questions were included in the questionnaire: questions
about cultural norms and values, questions about characteristics of the ideal type of jobs that
students would prefer after graduation, and questions about the reasons for choosing
particular electives in their studies. Differences across countries were considerably smaller
for nearly all questions when the English-language questionnaire was used. Consequences
and recommendations for cross-national research and management are discussed.
La recherche comparée internationale est jalonnée de multiples obstacles. Cet article se
concentre sur l’un d’entre eux : le fait que les études conduites sur plusieurs pays impliquent
généralement des répondants aux langues maternelles variées. L’objectif est de déterminer si
la langue utilisée dans un questionnaire influence les réponses obtenues. Plus précisément,
l’hypothèse que l’administration d’un questionnaire dans une seule langue commune
(l’anglais) conduit à une homogénéisation des réponses entre pays a été testée, ceci signifiant
donc une atténuation des différences internationales. L’étude empirique a été menée sur un
échantillon de 3419 étudiants dans 24 pays. La moitié des étudiants de chaque pays a reçu le
questionnaire en anglais, l’autre moitié dans leur langue maternelle. Trois types de questions
constituaient le questionnaire : des questions sur les normes et valeurs culturelles, sur les
caractéristiques de l’emploi idéal type que les étudiants aimeraient trouver après l’obtention
de leur diplĂ´me et des questions sur les raisons pour lesquelles ils avaient choisi certains Ă©lectifs
au cours de leurs études. Les différences entre pays se sont avérées être largement inférieures
pour la quasi-totalité des questions quand le questionnaire en anglais avait été utilisé. Les
conséquences et recommandations pour la recherche et le management comparés en milieu
international sont finalement discutées
