Teachers, particularly those employed in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) system, suffer from physical and mental stress. The combination of an excessive workload and a lack of appreciation leads to job burnout and job discontent. Over 70% of ECE teachers worldwide report feeling burned out at work. It is necessary to look into the causes of stress and how it affects teacher work burnout. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between occupational stress and burnout among Early childhood education teachers. The current study, which mostly focused on ECE teachers and their difficulties associated with occupations, studied the impact of work stress on job burnout. Through the use of a questioner and the cluster sampling technique, information was gathered from 100 ECE teachers. The findings of this study will assist in understanding the problems and stress experienced by ECE teachers and in developing a plan to improve their working conditions.

This study examines the cause of evil and the emergence of serial killers' personalities, focusing on Jeffrey Dahmer and Javed Iqbal. Central to this investigation is the debate over whether killers are born evil or shaped by their experiences, highlighting the interplay between nature and nurture in creating notorious criminals. The research explores psychological, cultural, and societal influences on deviant behaviors, incorporating criminology, sociology, and forensic psychology insights. Additionally, it critiques the media’s portrayal of serial killers and its impact on societal perceptions, questioning the media’s role in shaping and understanding evil. By closely examining Dahmer and Iqbal through multiple lenses, this study promotes a deeper understanding of the complex processes underlying  criminal behavior and challenges cultural narratives that may perpetuate evil.

As review-based research, this study uses Anthony Giddens's agency and structure approach to highlight youth engagement in sociological and psychological research in Pakistan. 22 research papers were sampled through keyword search, while the data were analyzed with the reflexive thematic analysis by Braun and Clark(2019). The researcher's bias has been reduced through reflexivity and independent review by PhD-level reviewers. Findings show that multifaceted barriers, such as lack of funding, lack of interest of stakeholders, lack of culture of engaging youth in research, and ethical dilemmas, work as barriers to youth engagement in sociological and psychological research in Pakistan. The benefits of engaging youth in sociological and psychological research in Pakistan include developing leadership skills, understanding of local social problems, and developing a knowledge-based system for sociological and psychological knowledge. Finally, stakeholders, NGOs, and governmental organizations can play an important role in engaging youth in sociological and psychological research in Pakistan.

The psychological contract, an implicit agreement shapes employee-employer relationships within organizations. The study investigated the psychological contract's impact on job satisfaction among Medical Laboratory Professionals (MLPs) in Kenya's public health sector. A response rate of 98 (92.7%), for 106 MLPs surveyed with quantitative data analyzed using SPSS version 29. Pearson’s correlation coefficient results indicated that employee obligations, employee entitlements, employer obligations, and delegation were significantly associated with job satisfaction (p<0.001), accounting for 57.7% of the dependent variable's variation, with a model fit of 31.70. Multiple regression analysis revealed that employee obligations (p-value =0.578) insignificantly influenced job satisfaction. Delegation (β = 0.362) had the strongest positive and significant association with job satisfaction, employee entitlements (β = 0.351), and employer obligations (β = 0.253), with employee obligations indicating a negative association. A combination of psychological contract elements (obligations and entitlements) and structural elements (delegation) constitute the key drivers for improving job satisfaction.
