Emotional Dissonance Sample Clauses

Emotional Dissonance. This theme reflects the mixture of positive and negative emotions that the faculty members feel towards the institution and which characterise their PC. The passion for teaching is something that really stands out when talking to faculty members. The data suggest that faculty love the subjects they teach and enjoy teaching them to students. They enjoy contributing to the growth and development of others. The participants described teaching to be their life or their dream. They find teaching to be rewarding, and it brings them a sense of pride. The teaching dimension of the job seems to be integrated as part of their self-identity. The classroom is the space where faculty can exercise a high degree of autonomy.

Except for the low pay rate, they find PT teaching to fit with their current life circumstances. They appreciate the value they receive from teaching itself and accordingly do not expect much from the institution. Participant no. 2 also said: “It gives you a greater sense of satisfaction knowing that you – I wouldn’t say even help. I would say educate and transfer knowledge to students who are very eager to know it and apply it. Whenever I see my students working in the insurance risk field, I feel a great sense of satisfaction… A lot of it is self-satisfaction. I get a lot of experience from teaching. I get a lot of knowledge because of continuous research. My skills have improved… I worked for institutions like Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers,...

  • MENTAL DISORDER As defined in the 32 CFR 199.2: For the purposes of the payment of benefits, a mental disorder is a nervous or mental condition that involves a clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that is associated with a painful symptom, such as distress, and that impairs a patient’s ability to function in one or more major life activities.
