Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Social media has created a new type of celebrity form (influencers), which is defined as people who are famous on social media and have many followers. Companies currently depend on influencers to send their marketing messages to the audience, and to increase the marketing ROI, it is important to target the right influencers.
Purpose: This research focused on social media influencers’ impact on consumer purchase intent and showed whether gender difference of consumers or influencers had any effect on those decisions. The research also included the age of consumers and the product type to know if they had any effect.
Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to obtain the required information; two focus groups were conducted to get the names of 80 influencers, and an online questionnaire was used to collect the data, formula of the sample size by Krejcie and Morgan (1970 as cited by Kasomo, 2001) was used to determine study sample of 387 respondents.
Results: The results indicated that male influencers impact male consumers more than female consumers, while female influencers impact female consumers more than male consumers. Age of consumer does not affect the gender-based impact results. In addition, the results indicate that only few influencers have more impact on specific product type, thus, influencer’s impact based on product type is not so common.
Recommendations: It is recommended for the companies to find influencers who are having a lot of impact on a specific product type that matches the product they want to promote, and to select the influencer based on the customers they are targeting, if companies are targeting female customers, they should look for popular female influencer, and if they are targeting male customers, they should look for popular male influencer.

Nowadays, Personal care products grow rapidly every year even in a red ocean industry. With changes in this digital era, personal care companies have to innovate in order to survive and grow. One of the ways is the use of digital marketing. There are many ways to do digital marketing and one of the popular methods is social media influencers. However, with so many new influencers on social media, marketers find it challenging to choose the right influencers to promote their products because not every influencer brings a significant impact. Choosing the wrong influencers could cause the business to lose money and harm the image of a product or a brand. On the other hand, choosing the right influencers may lead to the popularity of the product and an increase in sales. Based on that, this research is focusing on the influencers from the consumer’s point of view, in order to know the type of influencers that fit with the product offered. This research is based on literature study that describes Influencer credibility has a positive impact on consumers' purchase intention, attitude towards products, and advertising.

Fashion retailers are increasingly using influencer marketing to build a consumer-brand relationship. However, influencer marketing remains an understudied area, and choosing from among traditional attractive celebrity influencers and expert influencers remains a conundrum for marketers. Hence, this research examines the comparative effectiveness of an attractive celebrity influencer, vis-à-vis an expert influencer on online consumer-brand engagement, further resulting in an online impulse purchase. The moderating role of impulse buying tendency between online consumer-brand engagement and online impulse purchase is also examined. Using survey data from respondents following fashion influencers, the author tested the proposed hypotheses using structural equation modeling. The findings indicate that attractive celebrity influencers exhibit a significant effect on online consumer-brand engagement, which further leads to online impulse purchase. The findings also establish the moderating effect of impulse buying tendency and the mediating role of online consumer-brand engagement.

Full textAbstract:
Objective - This paper conceptualizes a novel theoretical model of consumer mimicry of various types of influencers and associated behavioral outcomes. Design – This model was conceptualized after a thorough literature review and gap analysis. Moreover, prominent and underrepresented concepts from the literature were integrated to develop the novel model synthesized in this paper. Findings – Many facets of social media influencers have been studied in extant literature. These include source and content characteristics along with marketing strategies and sponsorship disclosures. However, most studies examine influencers from a broad perspective without refinement. Influencers are grouped into four categories based on their following and expertise: mega, macro, micro, and mini-influencers. Such categorizations are rarely reflected in the existing literature. Moreover, consumer mimicry of influencers and the consumer well-being aspects have been largely understudied. Policy Implications -Choosing the right influencer is challenging. Therefore, recognizing which types of influencers evoke consumer mimicry (and which don’t) will ease the selection process. This will increase the efficiency of influencer marketing campaigns run by marketers and brands. Originality - This is the first paper to incorporate all four types of influencer categories into a theoretical model. Subsequently, the largely scarce concept in SMI research, consumer well-being, has also been incorporated to ensure followers' welfare.

Full textAbstract:
The number of elderly influencers on Instagram is increasing. When analyzing a sample of corresponding posts, it is noticeable that fashion, especially fancy or vintage fashion, plays a central role. By choosing extraordinary looks, elderly influencers, whose age is by no means concealed, communicate self-determination and independence from the opinions of others – both also in connection with life experience. Their followers consider them as cool and empowering: this way, they can positively influence society’s perception of elderly people, take away younger recipients’ fear of aging, and act as role models. However, a noticeable divide emerges, as the elderly influencers are apparently well-educated and presumably also wealthy and enjoy good health. In social comparison, many of those of the same age would probably perform poorly. Therefore, it can be concluded that elderly influencer may be beneficial to their recipients and to society as a whole, but that addressing the social conditions that enable old people to live a fulfilled life is largely ignored.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how today’s new type of opinion leaders, “Citizen Influencers” (CIs), persuade their followers by exploring which characteristics contribute to their persuasiveness. Design/methodology/approach Combining theories within opinion leadership, celebrity endorsement, product placement and user-generated content (UGC) five source characteristics – namely, expertise, trustworthiness, likeability, similarity and familiarity – are investigated using fashion as an example. A longitudinal netnographic study of ten CIs and their UGC and six focus groups with followers of specific CIs on Instagram are conducted. Findings All five characteristics contribute to the persuasiveness of CIs with trustworthiness as the main contributor. CIs persuasiveness lies in their unique ability to encompass two opposing qualities simultaneously: being attainable and relatable like ordinary consumers; being taste leaders with superior, celebrity-like status. Research limitations/implications Only qualitative studies within the fashion category have been conducted, wherefore the relative weight between the two qualities cannot be quantified. Practical implications When choosing a CI, managers may consider: the amount of followers per CI as an indicator of influence; similarity between follower and CI as it provides the basis for trust; and the CIs personal universe on their Instagram profile as it leverage the meanings associated with the brand. Originality/value The key driver of CIs persuasiveness is their trustworthiness which mediates and amplifies the effect of the other four characteristics. CIs’ persuasive power rests upon the balancing act of being relatable and aspirational.

Innovative forms of digital communications using blogging, vlogging, etc. have led to wider recognition and acceptance of social media influencer marketing by business entities. The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) generated by food blogging, that has an impact on consumers when they seek out the reviews by social media influencers to make dining decisions. More precisely, the study identifies four independent variables; The expertise of Source (EX); Popularity of Source (PO); Convenience of Information (CO) and Familiarityof Source (FA); and examines its impact on consumers’ Intention to Purchase (IN). The study starts off with a discussion of the coming of digital marketing communication, allowing traditional word of mouth marketing to evolve into the electronic word of mouth. The study followed quantitative methodology and the data was gathered using self-administered questionnaires. 353 usable responses were received, and the data were statistically analyzed using SPSS. The results show that the consumers’ the intention was strongly impacted by the familiarity of source and convenience of information, while the correlation is low for the expertise of source and popularity of source. The findings fill in the lack of studies in this area, specific to the food and beverage industry in the geographical context, and provide marketers a clearer picture of what is being valued by the consumers when they seek out opinions by the social media influencers. This in turn helps their decision-making when choosing food bloggers as part of their social media marketing strategy.

Social media platforms have had a significant impact on the public image of sports in recent years. Through the relational dynamics of the communication on these networks, many users have emerged whose opinions can exert a great deal of influence on public conversation online. This research aims to identify the influential Twitter users during the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships using different variables which, in turn, represent different dimensions of influence (popularity, activity and authority). Mathematical variables of the social network analysis and variables provided by Twitter and Google are compared. First, we calculated the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient among all users (n = 20,175) in pairwise comparisons. Next, we performed a qualitative analysis of the top 25 influential users ranked by each variable. As a result, no single variable assessed is sufficient to identify the different kinds of influential Twitter users. The reason that some variables vary so greatly is that the components of influence are very different. Influence is a contextualised phenomenon. Having a certain type of account is not enough to make a user an influencer if they do not engage (actively or passively) in the conversation. Choosing the influencers will depend on the objectives pursued.

Abstract Research purpose. Currently, the Internet is used by almost 5 billion users worldwide, of which 80% actively use at least one of the social networks. And marketing managers are well aware of this fact, as they had to switch to a new way of attracting potential customers. One of these methods is also influencer marketing as a form of marketing communication. In influencer marketing, the emphasis is placed on influencers with a significant impact on the community on which marketing activities and campaigns can be oriented. It is a method of non-violent and natural promotion of a product or brand, which acts on the consumer as a natural part of the space in which it is located. Especially one generation of consumers, Generation Z, is considered to be the target segment for influencer marketing due to their digital skills and inclination to social networks. The main aim of the article is to determine the impact of influencer marketing on the decision-making process of Generation Z. This also includes providing the theoretical background and analysis of influencer marketing from the viewpoint of Slovak and foreign authors. Design / Methodology / Approach. General scientific methods were applied for the processing of the data as well as mathematical-statistical methods to evaluate the data collated from the results of the questionnaire survey and to statistical hypothesis testing. The important source for secondary data was scientific research, annual company reports, statistical databases, and published professional publications. In order to find out the impact of influencer marketing on the decision-making process of Generation Z, a questionnaire survey was conducted. Findings. A successful marketing campaign on social media in cooperation with influencers requires the correct selection of the influencer according to their follower base, profile focus, credibility or reach, which is measured by Engagement rate. The number of followers is not as significant as the relationship that the creator has with their fans. When choosing an influencer, it is also necessary to take into account the way they promote products, ask them for originality and creativity, and prefer long-term collaborations to one-time contributions. These steps can bring a lot of benefits to the company, from which it will subsequently profit. Based on the analysis and results of the questionnaire survey, it is thus clear that the implementation of influencer marketing in marketing communication of Slovak companies targeted at Generation Z brings many benefits, including building relationships with Generation Z, increasing their loyalty and improving the company image. Originality / Value / Practical implications. Finally, measures for effective influencer marketing usage targeted at Generation Z are proposed, and its benefits are highlighted.

Trading Platform with Binary Obsi or choosing one of the two is a platform that is considered by OJK to be more similar to numbers, where this refers to Law number 10 of 2011 concerning amendments to Law 32 of 1997 in this law there is an article that can ensure that the practice of Binary Options is not in accordance with what is regulated by the law, but binary options trading can circulate rapidly because the owners of the binary options platform use the services of influencers to spread the platform. which results in trading in the form of Binary Options, the legality of which cannot be ascertained in Indonesia. This raises new legal problems in the form of activities recommending platforms that do not have legality in Indonesia and are prohibited by the OJK, this is binding on those who carry out recommendation activities or are often referred to as stock pompoms. Stock pompom activities are rampantly carried out by public figures who are known to the public who do not pay attention to the legality of Binary Options trading, as for several parties who collaborate with application owners and take advantage of the failures of Binary Option players. The approach method used is a normative legal research method, namely legal research conducted by examining library materials or secondary data. The approach used is the invitation approach, the approach and the conceptual approach. This journal finds several issues that need the government's attention, such as the need for special laws governing binary options applications in the gambling or fraud category, special rules regarding influencers who get commissions called affiliates, as well as strict rules for influencers to make recommendations, also educating the public so that they are not easily influenced by what activities are found on social media

Attempts to find central “influencers,” “opinion leaders,” “hubs,” “optimal seeds,” or other important people who can hasten or slow diffusion or social contagion has long been a major research question in network science. We demonstrate that opinion leadership occurs only under conventional but implausible scope conditions. We demonstrate that a highly central node is a more effective seed for diffusion than a random node if nodes can only learn via the network. However, actors are also subject to external influences such as mass media and advertising. We find that diffusion is noticeably faster when it begins with a high centrality node, but that this advantage only occurs in the region of parameter space where external influence is constrained to zero and collapses catastrophically even at minimal levels of external influence. Importantly, nearly all prior agent-based research on choosing a seed or seeds implicitly occurs in the network influence only region of parameter space. We demonstrate this effect using preferential attachment, small world, and several empirical networks. These networks vary in how large the baseline opinion leadership effect is, but in all of them it collapses with the introduction of external influence. This implies that, in marketing and public health, advertising broadly may be underrated as a strategy for promoting network-based diffusion.

AbstractHelpful reviews are like good movies or a good novel: if you’re hooked right away, you stay and remember. No matter how short, a review tells a story in much the same way as a novel. If you want to persuade, it should start with something dramatic and sensational or the key takeaway, rather than saving the best elements for the end. Narrative elements can change the way reviews influence people, and media literacy can go a long way. Social media influencers and professional reviewers should now also know that they are better off investing in creative writing or storytelling courses than choosing to analyze experiences factually. Further, software developers should learn to distinguish useful reviews from less helpful or relevant ones. With such skills, they can structure platforms in ways that make writing transporting, helpful, persuasive reviews as easy as possible and can develop algorithms that favor real and useful reviews.

AbstrakPlatform Trading dengan Obsi Biner atau memilih satu di antara dua, merupakan platform yang dianggap oleh OJK lebih mirip dengan nomor, dimana hal ini merunjuk pada Undang-undang nomor 10 tahun 2011 tentang perubahan atas undang-undang 32 tahun 1997 didalam undang-undang ini terdapat pasal yang dapat memastikan praktik Binary Option tidak sesai dengan yang diatur oleh undang-undang tersebut, namun trading opsi biner dapat beredar dengan pesat karena para pemilik platform opsi biner menggunakan jasa para influencer untuk menyebarluaskan platform tersebut. yang menakibatkan Trading dengan bentuk Binary Option belum dapat dipastikan Legalitasnya di Indonesia. Hal ini menimbulkan masalah hukum baru berupa kegiatan merekomendasikan platform yang tidak memiliki legalitas di Indonesia serta dilarang oleh OJK, hal ini mengikat bagi pihak yang melakukan kegiatan rekomendasi atau kerap disebut dengan pompom saham. Kegiatan pompom saham marak dilakukan oleh para figur publik yang dikenal oleh masyarakat yang tidak memperhatikan terlebih dahulu mengenai Legalitas dari perdagangan Binary Option, Adapun beberapa pihak yang mekaukan Kerjasama dengan pemilik aplikasi dan mengambil keuntungan dari kegagalan para pemain Binary Option. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif, yaitu penelitian hukum yang dilakukan dengan cara meneliti bahan pustaka atau data sekunder. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan undangan, pendekatan pendekatan dan pendekatan konseptual. Jurnal ini menemukan beberapa masalah yang perlu menjadi perhatian pemerintah seperti yang dibutuhkannya undang-undang khusus yang mengatur mengenai aplikasi opsi biner masuk dalam kategori perjudian atau penipuan, aturan khusus mengenai influencer yang mendapatkan komisi yang disebut afiliator, serta aturan ketat terhadap influencer untuk melakukan rekomendasi , juga edukasi kepada masyarakat agar tidak mudah terpengaruh kegiatan apa yang ditemukan di media sosial.Kata Kunci: Opsi Biner, Afiliator, Trading, Judi, Penipuan, Platform AbstractTrading Platform with Binary Obsi or choosing one of the two, is a platform that is considered by OJK to be more similar to numbers, where this refers to Law number 10 of 2011 concerning amendments to Law 32 of 1997 in this law there are an article that can ensure that the practice of Binary Options is not in accordance with what is regulated by the law, but binary options trading can circulate rapidly because the owners of the binary options platform use the services of influencers to spread the platform. which results in trading in the form of Binary Options, the legality of which cannot be ascertained in Indonesia. This raises new legal problems in the form of activities recommending platforms that do not have legality in Indonesia and are prohibited by the OJK, this is binding on those who carry out recommendation activities or often referred to as stock pompoms. Stock pompom activities are rampantly carried out by publik figures who are known to the publik who do not pay attention to the legality of Binary Option trading, as for several parties who collaborate with application owners and take advantage of the failures of Binary Option players. The approach method used is a normative legal research method, namely legal research conducted by examining library materials or secondary data. The approach used is the invitation approach, the approach approach and the conceptual approach. This journal finds several issues that need the government's attention, such as the need for special laws governing binary options applications in the gambling or fraud category, special rules regarding influencers who get commissions called affiliates, as well as strict rules for influencers to make recommendations, also educating the publik so that they are not easily influenced by what activities are found on social media.Keywords: Binary Options, Affiliate, Trading, Gambling, Fraud, Platform

Objective: In recent years, vlogging or a trending term, especially among YouTube viewers, has increasingly bombarded content on Google's video site. This study examines the antecedents and consequences of credibility and parasocial interactions on food shopping intentions. Design/Methods/Approach: The data was obtained through a survey of 117 followers of one of the five favorite food vlogger accounts of the Indonesian people based on a survey conducted by CNBC Indonesia (2020) and who have shopped for food products at least three times in the last six months. Data analysis is performed using the Structural Equation Model- Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to test the suitability of the hypothesized model. Findings: The findings of this study suggest that food stall owners can consider choosing celebrities or ambassadors to have their products reviewed to attract wider consumers. Originality: This study explores the attractiveness of celebrities on social media, especially YouTube, which can influence the purchase intention of their followers and the role of parasocial interaction and credibility in these interactions and results. Practical/Policy implication: The results of this study indicate that company management pays attention to who is right to promote their products. Influencers who will be used as promotional materials must also be in line with the products produced by the company so that there is no mistake in getting a wider consumer.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of a personal brand, describes modern approaches to the interpretation of the concepts of brand and personality brand. The main structural elements of a personal brand are analysed, its socio-psychological essence is determined. The emphasis is made on the practical significance of the formation of a personal brand, the components, properties and areas of application of a personal brand are considered.The models of personality brand formation in both offline and online environment are described in accordance with the structural and substantive transformations currently taking place in the information sphere and the factors that influence the effectiveness of communication through a personal brand. These are, first of all, such factors as the widespread of artificial intelligence technologies into everyday life, tools for logical data integration, a significant increase in the number of Internet users. All of the above factors largely determine the nature and degree of social influence of influencers on the behavior of individuals in society.In addition, much attention is paid to the analysis of existing models of personal brand formation, which form the theoretical and methodological basis of a personal brand. If we consider a brand as a tool that stimulates the consumer to a certain action, then in the case of a product brand, such an action will be the fact of buying a product or service directly. If we are talking about a personal brand, then the frequency of consumption of content created by a particular media personality will act as an action. In turn, it is possible to increase the frequency of content consumption by choosing the optimal model of brand communication with consumers. That is why it is especially relevant to study the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of a personal brand through online tools in the process of creating a personal brand.

Since winglet be added on the motorcycle in 2016 first, the extreme speed of the motorcycle competition improve a lot. The engineers of motorcades not only focus on the efficiency of the engine, but also put some of their attention on the design of the aerodynamic kits. This paper is focus on the shape of the racing track to see how it effect the choosing of winglet. Since different surface area of winglet may have some effect on the force provided on the motorcycle. This paper finds that for the racing track which has more strait roads, the motorcycle should reduce the drag force, so that the winglet should has less surface area, vice versa. The research significance is to help motorcades to choose suitable aerodynamic rate and give some suggestion to the rider who want to add winglet on their own motorcycle.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of pricing (incentive and deterrent) to shift the purchase decision intent of parents when they order food for their child in a fast food restaurant. Design/methodology/approach A financial incentive and a deterrent pricing tactic was tested using an online quantitative approach with a sample of 400 Canadian parents, representative of the Canadian population based on geography, household income and education level. Findings The financial incentive tactic demonstrated that a strong and clearly articulated monetary discount can shift the stated purchase intent of parents into an increased number choosing a healthier side dish for a child’s fast food meal. A deterrent pricing approach was shown to also shift stated purchase intent, and had a higher consumer impact on a per dollar basis. Younger parents (<35 years old) were more likely to select healthier side dishes for their child; however, parents of all ages could potentially be influenced through motivational pricing approaches. Research limitations/implications This was an exploratory study using online surveys and stated purchase intent among Canadian respondents. Examining “stated” purchase intent only through the use of a questionnaire, and without a consequence of the choice, may not reflect a consumer’s real purchase behaviour. A future study should be conducted on pricing approaches in a restaurant setting, where the parents then have the consequences of interacting with the child and the response of the child to the food decision made on their behalf. Practical implications The use of pricing to shift parental food purchase decisions into ordering healthier food items for their children is a promising option, which with further exploration may lead to easily implementable restaurant-level recommendations that achieve the desired results of children eating healthier. Social implications As the frequency of fast food consumption continues to rise, encouraging healthier fast food choices for children could help to combat the troubling rise of obesity in young children. Originality/value While most historical research has focussed on teen or adult consumers, this paper offers insights to academics, marketers and restaurant industry influencers into the previously unexplored area of using pricing to encourage parents to make healthier food choices for children in a fast food restaurant environment.

Full textAbstract:
Developing a framework is having a standard metric or structure for investing these developmental incentives into the chief work influencers “construction managers”. The importance of adopting a leadership Skill framework that contains development and growth metrics cannot be over-emphasized; it starts the system of energizing construction managers with the requisite leadership capacity to help organizations achieve project targets, sustains project performance, administers technical expectations, manages stakeholders, eliminates disputes, enables indigenous contractor’s success on a global scale as well as serve as a personal development avenue. The study aims to develop a leadership skill framework as a Tool for motivating construction managers in the Anambra State. To achieve this, the study identifies what to consider in choosing a Leadership Management Development Approach and examines certain developmental strategies in developing a robust leadership skills Framework for Construction Managers Motivations. The study adopted descriptive survey design by distributing 60 well-structured questionnaires. The 40 retrieved and analyzed responses (table 3.1) shows that extracted components value have Eigen value of 8.981, 2.228,1.683,1.362 and 1.167 with associated percentage variance of about 44.903% ,11.142%,8.415%,6.809 % and 5.833 % respectively which summed up to 77.1% showing that the extracted leadership skills can explain over 77.1% of the total variance in the series. The 6th to 20th leadership skills have Eigen value below 1.000 and jointly explain only about 22.9% of the total variations which confirm that they are no necessity important for considerations. The component matrix in table 3.1 shows that the choice of the leadership skills like Communication was extracted in component 1, Planning for the Required Result in component 2, Flexibility in component 3, Risk-Taking in component 4 and Focusing on Process in component 5 out of the identified leadership skills. The study recommends that the developed leadership skills framework is for construction stakeholders and is used as a motivational tool for construction managers in Anambra State to increase productivity and retention of construction employees. When developing construction managers in Anambra State, the human resources team should prioritize communication skills, the ability to plan for the desired outcome, flexibility in decision-making, the ability to take risks, and a focus on the work process rather than the output.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to examine the factors influencing the Indonesian Muslim community’s actions in choosing halal items. This objective is accomplished by evaluating the factors of variable creation that affect halal product selection. 183 Muslim respondents in Indonesia collected data for the study by filling out questionnaires. There are nine variables in the questionnaire survey segment: personal social perception, halal certification, halal awareness, trust, subjective norms, satisfaction, attitude, religiosity, and interest. Data were obtained based on participants’ availability and willingness to participate in selecting the questionnaire. The approach used is quantitative descriptive, namely, factor analysis, to determine the factors that form variables. One of the most important results is that the nine variables were selected to create an element that significantly influences people’s behavior in choosing halal items. Next are satisfaction, personal social perception, subjective norms, attitude, halal certification, interest, trust, and halal awareness. The religiosity variable results give the most significant contribution of importance in shaping the variables.

There is a standard trade-off in compensation contracts between the provision of incentives and insurance. We hypothesize that this trade-off influences the precision with which firm performance is measured. We find that firm outcomes are measured less precisely when chance plays a large role in these outcomes. Further, this precision is determined through the choice of shares outstanding. This has several novel implications. Nominal stock prices can remain constant over time, and firms with unpredictable cash flows should have more shares and lower stock price levels, all else equal. We find evidence consistent with these implications.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines national identity in England and Scotland, arguing that it is necessary to understand how people construe it instead of simply assuming that it is constructed from above by the state. It adds to qualitative data on this issue by discussing recent survey data, from the British and Scottish Social Attitudes surveys 2006, in which for the first time people are asked about their reasons for making a specific choice of national identity. In so doing it fleshes out the responses given to a well known survey question (the so-called ‘Moreno’ question) providing a greater understanding of what a large sample of people are saying when they make these territorial identity choices. The English and the Scots handle ‘national’ and ‘state’ identities differently, but the paper shows there is considerable similarity as regards reasons for choosing national identity. Both English and Scottish ‘nationals’, those placing greater weight on their ‘national’ as opposed to their ‘state’ identities, choose to do so mainly for cultural and institutional reasons. They are not making a ‘political’ statement about the break-up of Britain. At the British end of the scale, there are patterns in the English data which throw into doubt easy assertions about ‘being British’. Simply assuming, as some politicians and commentators do, that ‘British’ has singular meanings is unfounded. The future of the United Kingdom as presently constituted may lie in the hands of those who describe themselves as equally national (English or Scottish) and British. Devolution influences which national identity people choose in all three sets of national identity categories but these effects are sociologically most interesting in this group. Devolution seems to have encouraged them to stress the equality of the two nations in the British state, recognising that they are equal partners, that one can be equally proud of a national and a British identity, and that it is not necessary to choose one over the other.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare motivations and influences of high school music students who express an interest in a career in music teaching and those who do not. A previous survey was adapted for the study and administered to a pre-college population that included musicians who stated a preference to pursue music teaching or other music careers and musicians who stated a preference for other nonmusic occupations. Items were analyzed using a discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) data reduction strategy, which used a principal components analysis as a first step to determine item loadings onto orthogonal components. The three occupation groups (music teaching, other music, and other nonmusic) were then compared using a discriminant analysis of the resulting components. The model correctly classified 69.8% of cases, with one significant component primarily separating both music groups from the nonmusic career group and three additional significant components separating the music teaching group from the other music careers group. Using this model, the choice of an occupation appears multidimensional, and discrete sources of influence (e.g., music teachers and music teaching experiences explored in prior studies) are not necessarily individually predictive of the overall choice to pursue music teaching.

The research was conducted through a descriptive qualitative approach to explain how social media is used as a channel for social marketing communication and how to create effective message on social media. Three informans were selected based on purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by interview and literature study. The data analysis technique used in this study refers to Miles & Hubberman which consists of three subprocesses, namely data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions or verification. Social marketing theory is used for analysis to answer the problems in this study. The results showed that social media can be utilized as a social marketing communication channel for adolescent.But,low engagement of substance content compared to non-substance is a challenge faced by GenRe programs on social media. Frequency, consistency and involvement of influencers are some of the strategies that can be implemented to overcome these problems. Remaja mengalami periode yang sangat rentan yaitu masa transisi dari masa anak-anak menuju masa dewasa. Karena remaja tidak memiliki pengetahuan dan kesadaran bagaimana melewati masa transisi ini mengakibatkan remaja seringkali mengalami berbagai macam masalah. Program Generasi Berencana (GenRe) adalah salah satu intervensi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Tingginya intensitas remaja dalam mengakses media sosial menjadi landasan program GenRe memilih media baru tersebut sebagai salah satu saluran komunikasi mereka. Penggunaan media sosial dianggap sebagai strategi komunikasi yang relevan dan sesuai bagi remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana media sosial digunakan dalam pemasaran sosial bagi remaja dan bagaimana strategi pengemasan pesan yang efektif di media sosial untuk meningkatkan kesadaran remaja. Penelitian dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif untuk menggali informasi secara mendalam dari narasumber agar mendapatkan penjelasan bagaimana media sosial digunakan sebagai saluran komunikasi pemasaran sosial bagi remaja dan bagaimana strategi pengemasan pesan yang efektif di media sosial. Tiga narasumber dalam penelitian ini dipilih berdasarkan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan studi literatur. Teknis analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini mengacu pada Miles & Hubberman yang terdiri dari tiga subproses, yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Teori pemasaran sosial digunakan untuk analisis dan membantu menjawab permasalahan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan media sosial dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai saluran komunikasi pemasaran sosial bagi remaja. Namun media sosial tidak dapat berdiri sendiri sehingga pemilihan omni-channel adalah strategi yang lebih efektif. Rendahnya engagement konten substansi dibanding nonsubstansi adalah tantangan yang dihadapi pemasaran sosial program GenRe di media sosial. Frekuensi, konsistensi dan pelibatan influencer adalah beberapa strategi yang dapat diimplementasikan untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut.

Full textAbstract:
Women continue to be disproportionately underrepresented in science and engineering fields. A model for career choice is proposed that includes both the direct and indirect effects that socializers can play in determining career choices. A sample of 2213 high school seniors from nine schools in Rhode Island were surveyed about their academic and career choices and the perceived influences on those choices. Parents and teachers were perceived to be influences on career choice more often for students (both men and women) choosing careers in engineering and science than for those not choosing such careers. Pay was a more important factor in career choice for men in general, and genuine interest was a more important factor for women not choosing careers in engineering or science. However, these gender differences do not appear among students with extremely strong mathematics and science coursework backgrounds, even though there remains a marked disparity in the proportion of men to women planning careers in engineering or science. Teachers may play a particularly important role in influencing the career choice of some of these women. Equity of access and encouragement in mathematics and science is certainly a necessary, but insufficient, condition for improving the representation of women in science and engineering.

Background and objective: Recruitment and retention of primary care providers are projected to worsen in rural regions. Nurse practitioners (NPs) are a crucial solution to the shortage of primary care providers in rural America. Little research exists regarding factors influencing new NPs’ decisions to practice in rural settings, as well as practice readiness. The purpose of this study is to explore factors influencing new NPs’ decision to practice in rural settings.Methods: A survey of family nurse practitioner (FNP) graduates in a rural state was conducted. The survey measured rural background, current practice environment, the impact of rural clinical experiences on readiness to practice, and perceptions of rural NP practice.Results: The data collected over five years (N = 42) indicated several factors that influenced an NP’s decision to choose a position in a rural or underserved setting. A wide scope of practice, rural roots, a desirable job offer, and strong relationships were influential when choosing rural practice.Conclusions: Most respondents (69%) were not practicing in rural or underserved areas. Among those who were, the ability to practice to the full scope of education and autonomy were the most important factors. However, respondents were also apprehensive and intimidated with the broad skill set required in rural care. Implications: This study provides insight into factors and barriers for new graduate NPs in choosing a rural practice setting as well as possible solutions to the rural workforce shortage.

Full textAbstract:
This study aimed at exploring the main determinants of college major choice in China, and how factors stemming from the rational choice framework contribute to the final decision. Based on China’s Gaokao policy, this paper evaluated the fitness of rational choice theory for Chinese students choosing college majors and analyzed the decision mechanisms adopting primary and secondary effects, Coleman’s model, and the thin and thick models. Specifically, the choice of a college major is a result generated by the balance of risks, costs, and benefits, influenced by preferences and values, and shaped by certain macro-level conditions. Certain social influences have been emphasized in Chinese society.

Full textAbstract:
When choosing among multiple options, people can view the options either one at a time or all together. In this article, we review an emerging stream of research that examines the ways in which viewing options sequentially as opposed to simultaneously influences people’s decisions. Multiple studies support the idea that viewing options simultaneously encourages people to compare the options and to focus on the ways in which the options differ from each other. In contrast, viewing options sequentially encourages people to process each option holistically by comparing the option with previously encountered options or a subjective reference point. Integrating research from judgment and decision making, consumer behavior, experimental economics, and eyewitness identification, we identify ways in which the different processing styles elicited by sequential- and simultaneous-presentation formats influence people’s judgment and decision making. This issue is particularly important because presenting options either sequentially or simultaneously is a key element of choice architecture.
