This study conducted a quantitative study with 433 questionnaires (M=208, F=225, Mage=21.6) on the situations of university students' career planning. Correlation analysis, difference analysis and cluster analysis (K-means algorithm and Pam algorithm) were used with SPSS statistics software to understand their status in four indicators-self-understanding, status assessment, career exploration and decision action.

The purpose of this study is to equip new management trainees with practical stress coping techniques and enhance their self-efficacy in stressful work situations. To develop a systematic coping training programme, the study reviewed empirical studies and used Anshel (1990)'s COPE approach and Lazarus and Folkman (1984)'s Goodness-of-fit Model as frameworks for psychological coping techniques and instruments. The study's coping training programme, called Coping Effectiveness Training Intervention, includes specific techniques, timelines, and follow-up actions. The study begins by introducing the programme's design from a pragmatism perspective and then justifies it based on the literature review. The study provides practitioners with a scientific coping training framework for use in real business settings to enhance trainees' self-efficacy, help them adapt to their new working environment, and improve their job performance.

Study design: Orienting with the empirical literature review, this study employs the case study method to incorporate some exclusive transformational leadership techniques into the practical issues of the case.
Findings: This study revisits the literature to demonstrate the positive relationships between the 4I's of transformational leadership and the intermediate outcomes of team performance, and finds some distinctive transformational leadership techniques to cope with the managerial problems of the case company during its business transition.
Originality/value: This study contributes to formulating an original theoretical framework on transformational leadership and team performance, and employing a series of distinctive intervention measures to enhance the team performance of the case company. The practical contributions may be generalized into the wider education service sector.

She perceived that her choking situation might be a result of debilitative anxiety, poor focus, low confidence, and a lack of perceived control. To prevent choking and improve her ability to focus during pre-performance, the author orients with the Cognitive-behavioral Approach, and employs the Cognitive-Behavioral Consultation Model throughout her intervention in different phases. The followup evaluation of the mental skills and the intervention effectiveness such as the Reflective Questioning and CSAI-2R questionnaire are also employed. It is implicated that the pre-performance routine intervention program can be generalized to a wilder scope of populations in sport with similar situations. Future research can consider tracking the player's performance and making relevant refinements for the intervention program.

Continuous stress may lay negative impacts on educators' work performance and psychological state (Hughes et al., 2019). However, there are no studies on stress whilst working virtually for educational advisors during the CoVID-19. Therefore, understanding stress in the lockdown environment is important to support them in coping. A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted. Following snowball sampling, 12 interviews were conducted (Male=7, Female=5, M age =31.74) from the UK and China. The six phases of thematic analysis were employed to analyze the data. The interviews identified the sources of educational advisors' stress from colleagues, clients, families and personal environment that laid negative consequences on their work and life, such as ineffective work, anxiety and low mood, etc. A series of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies, such as boundary management, were raised for them to cope. Underpinned by Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, the findings highlighted the educational advisors' stress experiences and raised practical coping strategies at personal, organizational and family levels to defend against their stresses whilst working virtually.
