“…As they argue, when people engage themselves in a variety of activities socially, they feel relaxed and more connected to the community, and these processes lead to more control and autonomy throughout life. It is proposed that the connection between context-oriented attributes and learners' mental necessities impacts class engagement (Chen et al, 2021 ). The educator plays the role of a contextual facilitator of fulfilling learners' needs.…”

Language learning achievement depends on student engagement which is at the center of attention these days. To assist students to become autonomous and independent learners, providing a social and supportive context is beneficial through autonomy-supportive and interaction. When learners are given the freedom to make choices about their education, they are likely to feel more enthusiastic and engaged. Moreover, learners' academic and social practices are largely influenced by educators, who play a major role as social agents and the function of the educators as the most dominant figures is the cornerstone of the language classroom. As there is a dearth of studies that have considered teachers and student interactions among all other effective issues and their significant effect on students' autonomy and engagement from the perspective of self-determination theory (autonomy support), the present review endeavors to focus on teacher-student interaction from the social perspective and their effects on student engagement in EFL classrooms. Subsequently, some implications are presented to elucidate the practice of teachers, students, teacher educators, materials developers.

“…Moreover, in social cognitive theory, Bandura (1982) highlighted self-efficacy as a measuring instrument for the person by himself through multiple sources which provide information to the person. These judgments enable the employees to cater their choice patterns as well as responding to multiple environmental issues (Chen, Bao, & Gao, 2021;Demir, 2020;Liu, 2019;Musenze et al, 2021). The employees with higher self-efficacy have been found to have higher level of commitment, engagement as well as potential towards their organizational roles within which they are working (Chan, Ho, Ip, & Wong, 2020).…”

“…Perceived self-efficacy is dependent upon the appraisal of the person done by himself which is based on the expectancy and anticipation that a person considers to happen (Bandura, 1986). Chen et al (2021) defined self-efficacy as the judgment of the employees about their own skills in order to perform their job-related assignments which enhance their cognition as well as confidence. The study illustrates that the employees with high self-efficacy are found to be more motivated to exert their fullest extent of capacity, energy as well as they devote more time to accomplish their work responsibilities relative to their jobs.…”

Career adaptability is a key resource for adapting to and transitioning into careers. However, gaps are found in the research on career adaptability. This study examined whether proactive personality, future‐proofing, psychological capital, and technology readiness predict career adaptability and whether career adaptability mediates the relationship between these predictors and career motivation. The data from 455 Malaysian recent university graduates found career adaptability to mediate the relationship between all predictors and career motivation. They positively affected career adaptability, which in turn, increased career motivation. While, in the presence of predictors of individual characteristics, technology readiness was not significant in predicting career adaptability, it predicted career motivation. The study recommends enhancing career adaptability and personal traits through interventions and training, stressing the importance of integrating technology into higher education to promote career motivation and readiness for adapting to the future work environment.
