This exploratory study aims to identify the prevalence of organizational cynicism among early career psychiatrists in Lithuania. In order to achieve the purpose, the following research questions were raised: What is the prevalence of organizational cynicism among early career psychiatrists in Lithuania and how does organizational cynicism differ depending on the sociodemographic characteristics of these specialists? All early career psychiatrists employed in Lithuanian health care institutions were invited to participate in the study, and 56 of them filled out questionnaires. The obtained data were processed using descriptive statistical methods. Significant differences in indicators of organizational cynicism were identified depending on the respondents’ place of study. In addition, organizational cynicism varied by specialty: psychiatry residents had the highest mean scores; while child and adolescent psychiatrists, had the lowest. The study provides valuable insights into understanding the nature of organisational cynicism in terms of dispositional, cognitive, affective and behavioural cynicism. The obtained findings may contribute to the development of further research by promoting targeted interventions to address cynical attitudes towards work among early career psychiatrists.

This study investigated the impact of treasury management practices on financial performance of the banking sector in Nigeria. Treasury management has become a crucial component of the financial performance and sustainable growth of banks. Consequently, difficulties with treasury management practices have an immediate impact on the banking industry and financial system as a whole, which can have an indirect effect on the economic growth and development of the nation.

This paper examines the effectiveness of the pilot emotional intelligence programme with individual coaching interventions in enhancing the psychological capital, creative self-efficacy, well-being, and life satisfaction of entrepreneurship students. The study, involving 16 students from an entrepreneurship academy, shows that these interventions have a positive impact on these psychological aspects, both immediately after the sessions and in the long term. The results indicate a strong interconnection between psychological capital and its components and well-being, and to a lesser extent, with creative self-efficacy.
