“…It is very important for the management of TVET HLIs to keep up a good service quality and corporate image since it will affect the level of students' satisfaction. Students as customers are the major concern for an educational institution, and the satisfaction of them shows the success or failure of the institution's operation (Abasimi & Xiaosong, 2016;Austin & Pervaiz, 2017). Service quality and corporate image are important constructs in determining satisfaction (Bapat, 2017).…”

The respondents of this study were final year students from TVET HLIs in Malaysia. Using proportionate stratified sampling and followed by convenience sampling method, 431 questionnaires were distributed to nine higher TVET institutions. From that, 398 questionnaires were used for data analysis using SPSS version 22 and SmartPLS 3.0. The measurement model showed that the constructs were reliable and valid. Meanwhile, the structural model showed that there is a direct and significance relationship among all constructs. Two mediators were tested in this research which were service quality and corporate image. Bootstrapping procedure indicated that there was a direct and significant effect between latent constructs. The mediating test statistically showed that there was a partial mediation of student satisfaction and corporate image on the relationship between Sallaudin Hassan et al. 94 service quality and student loyalty. This research recommended that TVET HLIs should improve the level of service quality, corporate image, and satisfaction to ensure student satisfaction and loyalty.

“…Studies conducted showed ties between an individual's satisfaction with life and personality traits [48]; academic performance [49]; emotional intelligence [50] and intrinsic motivation [51]. Furthermore, a number of studies found connections between a teachers' satisfaction with life and job satisfaction [52]; organizational isolation level [53]; burnout Level [54], creativity, profundity, willingness for teamwork, level of forethought and appreciation [55]; and social support [56]. In light of these studies it can be assumed that a teachers' satisfaction with life is interlinked with a number of variables related to their professional life.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive role of happiness and a teachers' level of satisfaction with life, on their classroom management profiles. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Classroom Management Profile Inventory have been administered to 384 teachers employed in state-run secondary education institutes in the districts of Ankara city. According to t-test results, there was a significant difference between the satisfaction with life and authoritarian classroom management profile, with respect to gender. One-way variance analysis (ANOVA) results exhibited that with respect to seniority no difference was detectable between happiness and a teachers' level of satisfaction with life and their classroom management profiles. Findings from a correlation analysis put forth a positive relationship between happiness and a satisfaction with life, and an appreciative classroom management profile, whereas a negative relationship was detected in relation to an indifferent classroom management profile. Findings from multiple regression analysis indicated that happiness and satisfaction with life are significant predictors of appreciative and indifferent classroom management profiles. At the end of this research some suggestions have been offered to elevate the happiness and satisfaction of teachers in general.

“…This may mean that the features of Turkish society such as prudent child-rearing and prudent economic activities are reinforced by curriculums. Considering the other variables related to prudence, it is thought that this situation may contribute to the life satisfaction of students (Abasimi, Gai, & Wang, 2017). While self-regulation, another character strength related to the virtue of temperance, were identified as one of the least possessed character strengths among people living in 75 different countries (McGrath, 2015), it drew attention as the second most common character strength in LSCC.…”
