Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide an extended model of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and examine how institutional infrastructure and two social factors – peer effect and gender discrimination – determine entrepreneurial intention in emerging economies such as India. Design/methodology/approach Using a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, the proposed model is tested on a sample of 265 post-graduate students from the Indian Institute of Management campuses in India. Perceived gender discrimination is used as a grouping variable to test its impact in the model. Findings The study found that peer effect has positive association with an individual attitude towards entrepreneurship. It also found positive moderating effect of institutional infrastructure on entrepreneurial intention in a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem, but in case of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, the result is non-conclusive. Further, our results establish that gender discrimination has varying influence but remains a significant factor to choose entrepreneurial career in emerging countries such as India. Research limitations/implications The study adds to the understanding of drivers or antecedents to entrepreneurial intention, especially in emerging economy context and finds its usefulness in country such as India. It contributes to the existing model by empirically proving the role of peer effect and institutional infrastructure in emerging economies which are characterised by weak institutions and inadequate access to resources to start and sustain any entrepreneurial activity. Practical implications The results make several implications for academic institutions, entrepreneurial ecosystem stakeholders and policy makers in emerging economies. The academic institutions, universities and incubation hubs can consider promoting a peer-group culture that strengthens individual’s EI in emerging economies. Policy makers and stakeholders should build an encouraging entrepreneurial ecosystem with adequate institutional infrastructure to promote entrepreneurship. Originality/value The authors extend research on entrepreneurial intention beyond individual factors (personal-level variables) and examine the contingent role of institutional infrastructure and socio-cultural factors (peer effect and gender discrimination). Whilst TPB successfully predicted entrepreneurial intention in Western settings, this study provides strong empirical evidence to this research in emerging countries.

Higher education institutions (HEIs), among other social systems, have an irreplaceable role in combating COVID-19. However, we know little about institutional and individual factors that might facilitate university students’ beliefs and behaviors toward preventive behaviors for COVID-19 within the higher education context. Our study applies an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) model to investigate the structural relationships among the institutional climate, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and preventive behaviors of university students and to detect the moderating impacts of perceived risk on the structural model. Data were collected from 3693 university students at 18 universities in Beijing, China through an online survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and multigroup analysis were performed to examine the empirical model. The results reveal that (1) the institutional climate has a significant, direct effect on preventive behaviors for COVID-19 among university students, (2) the TPB components, namely attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, partially mediate the relationship between the institutional climate and preventive behaviors for COVID-19, and (3) perceived risk moderates several paths in the model. Theoretical and practical implications are offered, and recommendations for future research are outlined.

Despite the potential governmental agenda towards cash waqf, this area has been givessn limited attention in academic literature with special regards to the supply side. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors influencing the public intention in endowing cash waqf by utilizing an extended theory of planned behaviors (TPB); in which religiosity, knowledge, and trust variables are added. Primary data from 685 respondents in Indonesia are analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The result showed that the intention to endow cash waqf is positively affected by all of the TPB variables (attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) and other extended variables. The findings suggest an optimization in waqf fund collection and waqf fund management. For waqf collection, it is important to improve public literacy and the quality and quantity of supporting facilities and systems. Meanwhile, institutional management should be strengthened for waqf management.

The construction industry propels Malaysia’s economic growth. Payment is the livelihood of the construction industry. Many contractors have suffered badly from payment issues in Malaysia, especially non-payment. To remedy non-payment, unpaid contractors have the right to suspend works if the construction contracts express such rights. However, this self-help remedy is less to be instigated and the reasons remained under explored. The aims of this paper are threefold: (1) to understand contractors’ reluctance to suspend works, (2) to predict contractors’ decision to suspend works from the lens of Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model, and (3) to propose intervention strategies based on Institutional Theory. 44 Contractors specializing in building and civil engineering works participated in this study. The results show that Perceived obligations to others and tolerance factor underpinned their reluctance. Step-wise regression analysis also shows that subjective norm is the predictor of intention. To intervene in the decisions effectively, the TPB model was further extended with isomorphic pressures: Normative, Mimetic, and Coercive Pressures by drawing on Institutional Theory. These isomorphic pressures could be useful in influencing intention through subjective norm. The outcome of study is beneficial for both project practitioners and researchers, especially in improving payment issues in the Malaysian construction industry. Suspension of work can be seen as one of an effective self-help remedy that can be intervened in a macro framework.

Full textAbstract:
Entrepreneurship is a multi-level phenomenon and it is important to investigate how antecedents at different levels interact to determine outcomes. Using multi-level contextualisation, this article examines how a country’s regulative institutional context affects small- and mediumsized entrepreneurs’ (SME) export intention. Institutional theory provides a lens for understanding how macro-level policy that supports one group of firms creates different micro-level contexts for decision-making. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) provides a framework for comparing antecedents of export intention in different micro-level contexts. Data were gathered from 243 Malaysian SME entrepreneurs: 108 ethnic Malays (eligible for institutional support) and 135 ethnic Chinese (ineligible). Partial least squares estimated effects of antecedents on intention and multi-group analysis tested for differences between the path coefficients of ethnic Malay and ethnic Chinese SME entrepreneurs. Malaysia’s affirmative policy moderated decision-making process: ethnic Malay SME entrepreneurs are motivated to export by perceived control of actions and positive attitude; their Chinese counterparts are motivated to export by attitude alone. The findings suggest that desirability (attitude) and feasibility (perceived behavioural control) jointly predict SME entrepreneurs’ export intention in a munificent context, whereas desirability is the sole predictor in a penurious context.

Full textAbstract:
Social, environmental, and economic problems related to urban living have surpassed the agenda of policy and decision-makers as well as general public opinion in recent decades. To address urban and environmental issues, it is pivotal to examine how people think, feel, judge, and act with respect to sustainability. While some prominent theories exist and various attempts have been made to propose synthesized models, there are still gaps and discrepancies within the literature of environmental psychological theories. As such, the aim of this paper is to critically review the literature by focusing on a few of the most influential environmental, prosocial, and psychological behaviour theories, which include Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Norm Activation Theory (NAT), Value-Belief-Norm Theory (VBN), and the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP). The Scopus database has been searched systematically for the relevant studies. This paper concludes that an integrative approach to urban sustainability understanding and behaviour is needed. A framework is presented that consists of three layers of clustered components: (1) internal socio-psychological determinants, (2) personality traits, and (3) influencing external factors such as social, cultural, economic, and institutional factors. The model proposed in the study provides opportunities to further develop theoretical approaches and establish new measures of an Urban Sustainability Understanding and Behaviour assessment.

The purpose of this article is to contribute to the research literature on entrepreneurial intention (EI) of engineering students in an emerging economy. Through the lens of Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB), we investigate the influence of academic curriculum, institutional support, family, and peer effects in fostering an intent to be self-employed among Indian engineering students. Data collected from 210 final-year engineering students were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling method. The antecedents of the TPB, namely, attitude toward entrepreneurship (ATE), subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioral control (PBC), demonstrated a favorable influence on EI. Whereas the regular academic curriculum seemed to have a negative influence on ATE, institutional support showed a positive effect. Both curriculum and academic support were found to have no significant impact on either PBC or SN. However, both family and peer influence revealed a strong positive relationship with all the antecedents of EI.

Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to construct a framework of factors affecting the yachting tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP) in the context of COVID-19 regular prevention and control in Dalian, China. Relying on the framework of the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB), perceived external institutional and destination attribute factors are introduced to enhance the prediction of WTP. The results of the multivariate ordinal logistic regression model show that significant factors affecting yachting tourists’ WTP are income, education, past consumption experience, attitudes, destination attributes, and perceived behavior control. In addition, different factors affect the WTP of tourists who prefer motor boats and non-motor boats.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the analytical framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this paper decomposed the driving factors under institutional logic and technological logic, and empirically tested the driving path of the low-carbon behavior (LCB) of contractors from the perspective of corporate cognition. Moreover, this study further explored the differences in driving factors under different logic orientations and the formation mechanism of decoupling of heterogeneous LCB. The findings of this paper are as follows. Firstly, institutional logic and technological logic jointly drive the LCB of contractors. Perceived behavior control is not a sufficient condition. Secondly, institutional logic is more effective than technological logic in terms of the direction and coefficient of the driving path. Thirdly, institutional pressure does not directly lead to the decoupling of LCB of contractors but is mediated by intrinsic motivation. These findings provide support and help to the decision makers to cultivate and improve the level of contractors’ LCB in China and many other such countries that are similarly involved.

Full textAbstract:
Responsible tourism implies that all actors involved in tourism take responsibility for their actions. The concept of responsible tourism has been extensively addressed in tourism research and practice. However, studies analyzing the tourists’ contribution to responsible tourism have been neglected. Considering that tourists have the potential to contribute to economic, environmental socio-cultural, and institutional sustainability, this study focuses on the role tourists can play in responsible tourism. It also examines how responsible behavior among tourists has been triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, drawing on a planned behavior perspective by concentrating on the tourist contribution to sustainable tourism, responsible tourism behavior is investigated by means of 19 semi-structured interviews. The study found that tourists are not only sensitive to sustainability but that they also behave responsibly both on site and in their travel choices. At the same time, tourists pass the buck to suppliers and providers by requesting rules, information and opportunities for responsible tourism to be created. In this regard, implications for theory and practice can be derived by informing suppliers and providers about their requested responsibilities, as well as by adding a crisis perspective to the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB).

Full textAbstract:
Background: Nosocomial infections pose a big threat to patient safety and increased costs for society. An effective way of preventing cross-infections is to apply hygiene routines. Studies show that compliance to hygiene routines is low while there's a lack of knowledge about the best way of improving it. Aim: To investigate whether a conversation based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) could influence a nurse's compliance to hygiene routines and whether it could benefit the understanding of a nurse's compliance. Method: A quantitative and qualitative method was used in the study and included one nurse. An observation of his/her daily work at a hospital ward was carried out before and after a conversation which focused on attitude, subjective norm and perceived behaviour control. Main results: Even if compliance was good to start with it improved after the conversation. The nurse's attitude towards hygiene procedures was positive, but heavy workloads and difficulty to access materials could be a barrier. The norm in the ward was, according to the nurse, that hygiene routines were important even if some were less compliant. Conclusion: the use of TPB in a conversation could benefit the understanding of the nurse's compliance. Improvements in daily practices were noticed after the conversation, which could be due to an increased awareness of the need to perform hygiene procedures. No direct conclusions could be drawn from this study because the sample was limited, but the study provides suggestions for further research.

This program of research investigated the psychosocial factors that influence drivers’ speeding in Saudi Arabia. The research provided some support for the application of an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour to understand factors that influence drivers’ intention to speed. The research also found that additional factors including moral norm, descriptive norm, and past behaviour could assist in explaining speeding intentions in certain contexts. The research offered important theoretical and applied implications whereby the findings may help to inform strategies such as public awareness initiatives to reduce speeding.

The time from onset of a cardiac arrest to defibrillation is crucial hence access to and use of a defibrillator by all nurses essential. The purpose of this study was to use an established theoretical framework to examine and describe the defibrillation practices and beliefs of rural registered nurses in the Australian state of Queensland. The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) guided the research processes for this two phase study. In the first phase, focus group (n = 13) discussions identified the salient beliefs of the population. By eliciting nurses' beliefs, the subsequent quantitative study (n = 434) was conducted to determine the influences of these beliefs on nurses' use or non-use of defibrillators. The results showed that: (1) less than half of the cohort of participants were permitted to defibrillate; (2) the defibrillation beliefs of those nurses permitted to defibrillate were significantly more positive than those not permitted to do so; (3) the direct measures of TPB and selected variables external to the model predicted a significant portion of the variance in the measure of nurse-initiated defibrillation intention; and, (4) subjective norm emerged as the strongest predictor of intention. In conclusion, Queensland rural hospital nurses and employers still have some distance to travel down the path of nurse-initiated defibrillation. The TPB is a viable framework on which to base interventions designed to promote defibrillation by rural nurses. Understanding the role of social norms is of central importance to ensure all nurses can initiate the chain of survival expeditiously whenever the need arises.

The rising levels of global carbon emissions are accelerating climate change and global warming, with devastating effects on many communities. The tourism sector accounts for around eight per cent of carbon emissions (Lenzen, et al., 2018), with the hotel sector generating approximately 21 per cent of these emissions (Lee & Cheng, 2018). In addition, the hotel sector has been allied with adverse impacts on the environment through the depletion of natural resources. However, many hotels are striving to cut down their carbon footprint and level of environmental impact, which has led to the emergence of ‘green’ hotels. Research into the green hotel context is limited and consumer behaviour in this field has rarely been explored. Further, some issues remain scarcely investigated within the hotel sector, such as the effectiveness of interventions using pictorial elements employing positive and negative framing, and applicable content to gauge travellers’ perceptions and intentions to stay at green hotels.
This thesis aims to fill the gap in literature positing the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a theoretical framework to provide a deeper understanding of travellers’ behaviour towards staying at green hotels. This research employs the TPB full model using beliefs, attitudes, subjective injunctive and descriptive norms, perceived behavioural control and behavioural intention, and extends the theory by adding green hotel knowledge to the TPB framework. This research uses qualitative methods as a foundation for the quantitative study. In phase one, an elicitation study of three focus groups, using open-ended questionnaires, is employed to identify beliefs and any additional predictors that donate to the foundation of Australian travellers’ purchasing decisions regarding staying at green hotels. Based on the qualitative results and a review of literature, the preliminary survey instrument was constructed. Subsequently, the preliminary survey instrument was pilot tested from a representative sample of Australian travellers.
In phase two, an online survey is deployed resulting in a total of 771 valid responses. Participants are assigned randomly to either neutral control conditions that received no intervention or two intervention groups. One of the randomly assigned groups received positively-framed images to evoke green hotels’ environmental benefits; the other group received negatively-framed images that indicated environmental pollution. These interventions are designed to examine their effect on travellers’ intentions to stay at a green hotel.
The results indicate that the TPB original constructs, except subjective descriptive norms, can positively affect travellers’ willingness to stay at green hotels. Particularly, perceived behavioural control is the most significant predictor of travellers' intentions to stay at a green hotel. The findings of the research also reveal that green hotel knowledge may have a direct effect on travellers’ willingness to stay at green hotels. Finally, the research has found that travellers’ intentions can be significantly different depending on the message framing used to attract their attention.
This research makes several theoretical and practical contributions. Theoretically, the original model of the theory-without extending the social norms into descriptive and injunctive is sufficient to explain travellers’ intention/s to stay at a green hotel. The research also extends existing knowledge with regard to the reconceptualisation of the TPB model with the inclusion of an additional dimension of green hotel knowledge. Practically, since green hotel knowledge is a clear barrier to staying intentions, hoteliers may induce perceptions of useful knowledge about green practices implemented in their establishments, to enable travellers to make informed decisions in favour of green accommodation. In addition, results show the superiority of positive over negative messages to impact travellers’ intentions to stay at green accommodation. Travellers might be driven to stay at a green hotel if positive green aspects were communicated through a knowledge-based approach in marketing material. Consequently, hotel managers can potentially improve their service development strategies and ultimately help promote their green marketing programs.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Zhao, Chenxu. "Exploring kitchen preparation food wastage in Chinese hotels using the Theory of Planned Behaviour." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2019. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2233.
Full textAbstract:
As effect on the environment, society and economy have been recognised throughout past decades, the damage associated with food waste and loss behaviour is becoming more prevalent globally. How and the extent to which food supply chain sectors (i.e. those sectors more likely to generate food waste) voluntarily generate food waste comprise an area of concern among the public and scholars. In China, major problems around food waste have arisen due to third industry growth. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility are no longer international obligations, but instead a domestic demand for China. This study will enhance understanding of a significant food waste issue in arguably the world’s most vibrant hospitality industry.
This thesis contributes to the literature in several ways. First, this research was undertaken to uncover the types and extent of food waste across the food supply chain, namely agriculture, postharvest, processing, distribution, and consumption. This study focuses primarily on food wastage associated with food consumption in the hospitality industry. In previous studies, food wastage behaviour and prevention household food waste, were examined using the theory of planned behaviour; therefore, this theory was applied in the present study to examine customers’ behaviour towards food waste. This study identified four predictor variables based on the theory of planned behaviour derived from - respondent interviews: attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control (PBC), and past behaviour.
This study aimed to explore the reasons behind the generation of hospitality food waste during food preparation in China’s hotel restaurants industry. In addition, characteristics of individuals who voluntarily generated food waste in households and the hospitality industry were examined as revealed in prior studies. Thirty interviews were conducted to understand hotel employees’ behavioural beliefs (attitudes), normative beliefs (subjective norms), control beliefs (PBC), and past behaviour towards food waste.
Thirty respondents were selected from different tiers of hotel restaurants, and content-based interviews were conducted in 2018. The theory of planned behaviour was applied as a framework to reveal individuals’ rationale behind food wastage. To accomplish the aim of this study, descriptive statistics were used to determine the types, extent, and reasons behind food preparation waste.
Findings related to food wastage indicated that although kitchen employees occasionally generated unavoidable food preparation wastage due to kitchen standards and managers’ orders, food waste was also generated relatively easily for other reasons. Chinese hospitality restaurants were found to be more likely to overlook environmental sustainability. An analysis of food preparation wastage revealed that most predictor variables from the theory of planned behaviour could explain why food waste is generated in the hospitality industry. Findings suggested that employees’ rational attitudes, the moral perspective, and reuse and recycling applications were major reasons behind food wastage generated in the kitchen preparation stage. Furthermore, managers were found to be significant factors, whereas guests were potentially significant.
Results from interview analysis indicated that individual factors in food waste generation were slightly more significant than kitchen processing standards defined by kitchen managers. Interestingly, all respondents, especially older employees, indicated that emotion was a direct element of food wastage during kitchen preparation processing. If an employee could not control his or her negative emotions, then the amount of food waste generated increased. In addition, less professionalism, lack of daily purchase plan, heavy workload, poor ingredient quality, individuals’ ethical standards and incorrect processing methods were identifies as the most significant predictors of employees’ behaviour.
On the basis of the theory of planned behaviour, several individual factors that caused food waste in Chinese hospitality restaurant industry were analyzed. Predictor variables appeared to exert similar environmental and social influences across industries.

Full textAbstract:
Consumers today are becoming more aware of how their behavior and use of resources affect the environment. It is becoming increasingly important for companies to understand consumer’s attitudes in order to predict their behavior. Extensive research has been conducted on the attitude-behavioral relationship in various fields of study. However, no research has been made on the attitude towards environmentally friendly automobiles and how it affects purchase intentions. Our research has been made in collaboration with Volvo Car Corporation, which in 2010 was acquired by Geely Automobile. The acquisition meant that an opportunity presented itself on the Chinese market, which today is the largest automobile market in the world. The thesis will focus on young Chinese consumer’s attitude toward the environment and how this may affect their purchase intentions towards environmentally friendly automobiles. The basis for our reasoning is that the factors environmental values, environmental knowledge and responsibility feelings make up an individual’s environmental attitude. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how environmental values, environmental knowledge and responsibility feelings affect purchase intentions towards environmentally friendly automobiles among young Chinese consumers. We have used a quantitative approach in our collection of empirical data. With the help of a web-based self-completions survey we managed to send out the questionnaire to all Chinese students studying at Jönköping University and received a high response rate of 65%. We based the design of the survey on a model from Kaiser, Ranney, Hartig and Bowler (1999). The major findings from our research conclude that the used model does not substantially explain purchase intentions of environmentally friendly automobiles. Our research suggests that the factors environmental knowledge and responsibility feelings are not significant when predicting intentions to purchase environmentally friendly automobiles. However, the factor environmental values proved to be strongly correlated when predicting intentions to purchase environmentally friendly automobiles.

Full textAbstract:
The study titled “The applicability of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to the condom use intentions and behavior of migrant youth in South Africa” explores the predictors of condom use behavior and intentions of migrant youth in SA. It examines the influence of acculturation on the relationship between condom use intention and actual behavior. The background portrays migration ordeal as a current trend plaguing the socioeconomic global fabric with an increasing flow rate in Africa. Conversely, South Africa's (SA) economy and political position attracts an influx of youth migrants in compromised situations rendering them vulnerable to various diseases such as HIVAIDS. The conceptual dimension of the study was substantiated by two major theories, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Berry's theory of acculturation. In the salient phase of this dissertation, an elicitation qualitative study was conducted six months prior to the commencement with a sample size of 20. The purpose was to formulate the basis of this thesis, as informed by the theory of planned behavior and reasoned action, through in-depth open-ended questions. The study proper utilized a cross-sectional survey design in the 18 to 35 years cohort. The questions formation and design in the current quantitative study was informed by the findings of the elicitation study. Acculturation was used as a mediating variable. Similarly, Data was entered using EpiData Version 3.1 and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Standard version. In this study; the sample size probabilistically estimated to 500 participants. However, the data base that was validated following exploratory statistics was made of 454 participants from 31 countries with a return rate of 90.8%. The research findings indicated a Less than half of migrants in South Africa had a positive attitude towards the use of condoms, with a weight of 43.6%. The findings highlighted that pre-disposition to use condom is highly predicted by attitude. Less than half of migrants in S.A. had a positive attitude towards the use of condoms based on subjective norms, with a weight of 43.2% and this could explain why they had positive attitude towards condom only to a low extent. It was therefore recommended that the government of S.A. should improve on the regularization of migrants as to foster access to health care and so far, their self-efficacy. Parents should be sensitized on the need to enhance the use of condom by their teenager, sensitization of youth migrants in S.A. on risky sex behavior and notably the need to use condom should be increased and a model to enhance condom use shall consider all the predictive components because their combined effects strengthen intention and so far, the potential to act or behavioral outcome.

Full textAbstract:
Section A reviews and synthesizes the extant literature on adherence to clinical guidelines, with specific reference to the use of CBT self-help interventions as a mainstay within the IAPT programme. The review also evaluates the utility of one psychological framework, namely the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), in assessing the cognitive factors that may be most associated with compliance in this context. The review ends by suggesting an avenue for future research. Section B In spite of evidence for their efficacy and effectiveness as well as the recommendations of NICE, CBT self-help materials are not used routinely or used as an intervention in their own right in mental health services. Aims: This cross-sectional study set out to assess whether the main constructs of the TPB, namely, attitudes, subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioural control (PBC), as well as past use, self-help training and demographic characteristics, could predict IAPT psychological well-being practitioners’ (PWPs) intention to use CBT self-help materials in their clinical practice. Method: A convenience sample of PWPs (n=94) completed a web-based, mixed closed and open-response questionnaire, which was developed from an earlier elicitation study with a sub-sample of their colleagues. The data generated were analyzed by linear, multiple regression, mediation, and qualitative analyses. Results: The TPB’s main constructs predicted PWPs’ intention to use self-help materials in their clinical work, with attitude being most significant. Past use of self-help materials emerged as both a direct predictor of intention, as well as indirectly related to intention, independent of the mediating effects of the main constructs. The overall extended TPB model explained a respectable 70% of the variance in intention. However, neither self-help training nor demographic factors were associated with PWPs’ intention. Conclusion: It is recommended that future research could extend the methodology to prospective, longitudinal investigations of PWPs’ actual use of self-help materials. It is hoped that this would further elucidate the cognitive factors that are involved in PWPs’ decision-making when they are actually using the materials. Section C sets out and answers four specific questions that guide a reflective critical appraisal of the processes involved in the execution of this research project.

Full textAbstract:
The topic of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the meeting, incentive trips, conventions and exhibition (MICE) industry has been discussed intensively in the recent years, but is still a young field in terms of industrial practice and academic research. There are considerable environmental, social and environmental responsible initiatives implemented in the industry. These responsible organisations make efforts to maximise the benefits while minimising the negative impacts of their business conduct on the local communities. However, the level of CSR involvement of the MICE organisations is not clear and the perceptions with respect to the need to engage to CSR are indefinite across business stakeholders, such as event clients, delegates and the host communities. This urges the investigation of both CSR adoption in the industry and the influential factors of such adoption. This research aims to understand why MICE organisations, particularly the venue sector, participate in CSR adoption. The concept of CSR is first discussed in line with Carroll’s (1979) Pyramid of Corporate Social Responsibility and Wood’s (1991) Corporate Social Performance Model. Then, the relationship between CSR and the MICE industry is described in terms of sustainability, positive and negative impacts of business activities and the possible determinants of CSR adoption. With the theoretical underpinning of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TpB), a mix method is employed to answer five research questions...Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Denna studie har för avsikt att analysera hur den rådande trafikplaneringen ser ut i dagens Sverige, med fokus på Stockholm. Fokus ligger på att analysera trafikplaneringens uppkomst med bilen som utgångspunkt, hur denna har bidragit till negativa externa effekter som nu på senare tid uppmärksammats och legat till grund för ökad pådrivning mot ett trafiksystem som behöver förändras mot mer hållbara transporter, likt kollektivtrafik. Genom att analysera rådande regeringsdokument mot olika plan- och visionsdokument så kan studien bidra till att ge en mer reflekterad syn över vad som görs i realiteten mot vad mer visionära mål säger. Studien sker utifrån totalt 2 teorier samt 2 begrepp som är viktiga för att förstå dagens trafikplanering och hur resebeteende kan förändras. Mot detta är det också viktigt att se vad medborgare tycker och tänker för att se om planeringen delas av allmänheten. Detta då ökad samsyn gällande frågor och åtgärder inom trafikplaneringen kan bidra till ökad effektivitet och vilja till förändrat resebeteende. Studien har ett tydligt fokus på bilen och kollektivtrafik som transportmedel.

Full textAbstract:
Physical activity is one of the most basic human functions, and it is an important foundation of health throughout life. Physical activity apports benefit on both physical and mental health, reducing the risk of several diseases and lowering stress reactions, anxiety and depression. More specifically, physical activity is defined as "any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that require energy expenditure" (World Health Organization), including in this definition several activities. Among them, walking has been shown to improve physical and mental well-being in every age group. Despite that, insufficient walking among university students has been increasingly reported, requiring walking promotion intervention. In order to do this, dividing students based on their intention to walk might be useful since the intention is considered as the best predictor of behaviour. In this work, we carried out a study on university students' intention to walk and some of its predictors by exploiting Item Response Theory (IRT) models. In particular, we inspected the predictors of intention by mean of Rating Scale Graded Response Model (RS-GRM). Then we used the Latent Class IRT model to divide students according to their intention to walk, including predictors' scores as covariates. We chose the intention's predictors according to an extension of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), with both classic and additional variables. The formers are attitude toward behaviour, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control, whereas we used risk perception, self-efficacy, anticipation, self-identity and anticipated regret as additional variables. Data was collected administrating a self-report questionnaire to undergraduate students enrolled in the Psychology course at Federico II University of Naples.

The purpose of this research is to examine students' information-seeking intention regarding academic digital library services guiding by the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Data was collected among students in a public higher learning institution in Federal Territory of Labuan Malaysia. The empirical result of the hierarchical regression had confirmed that students' intention to seek for information in digital library was influenced mainly by their attitude, implying that, in predicting the information-seeking intention in an academic digital library with TPB was much better than TRA. The findings of the research provide broader insights for the academic digital libraries to be more aware of the important factors that influence library users in seeking for information and fulfil their requirement. A new motion can be developed by using the result of this research, which improve the knowledge from previous studies via the assessment from TPB.

Innovation requires an innovation mind-set derived from behavioural aspects of individuals. To realize such a notion, this paper introduces a framework and integrated theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in the line with the exploratory and exploitative innovations. Attitudes towards innovation, subjective norms for innovation and perceived control over innovation can influence on exploratory and exploitative innovations in SMEs. It is believed that through exploratory and exploitative innovations, entrepreneurs in SMEs may achieve subjective wellbeing. The approach of applying the TPB to exploratory and exploitative innovations will have few implications. First it allows SMEs to understand which factors are important in doing exploratory and exploitative innovations. Second, it will indicate that doing exploratory and exploitative innovations can bring the feeling of perceived wellbeing among entrepreneurs. Finally, the framework identifies a number of areas for future research that can verify the comprehensive understanding of successful innovations.

The social commerce wave has opened up vast opportunities in emerging markets through virtual communities' participation. This chapter investigates the constructs and theories from the social psychology perspective looking into the intention and behaviour prospect by extending the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and integrating the Social Support Theory (SST) to purport a continuance model for virtual communities' optimized participation in Malaysia. The model uncovers that the emotional and informational constructs of the SST and constructs of the TPB as well as perceived value optimizes participation. This chapter also establishes a continuance model and illustrates how theory from the social psychology literature positions the constructs of SST, TPB and perceived value in enhancing the participation of virtual communities. The SEM-PLS method used to analyse the data shows that the intention and behaviour of the virtual communities determine users' participation level. Furthermore, this chapter seeks to enlighten our knowledge on virtual communities and tap into the social commerce capabilities.

Despite persistent government and industry efforts to stop the sharing and downloading of media such as files over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, this activity shows no sign of abating. This research investigated whether psychological reactance could account for variance in the intent to engage in, and the extent of such behaviour beyond that accounted for by the standard Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) variables. No support for psychological reactance as a predictor of P2P file downloading intent or behaviour was found in this paper. However, the results did indicate that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control each accounted for significant variance in P2P file downloading behaviour, and that these relationships were fully mediated by behavioural intent. These findings are consistent with, and provide strong support for, the use of the TPB within this domain.

The purpose of this chapter is: (1) to examine Australian university students' awareness of the benefits of Web 2.0 technologies, and (2) to investigate the factors that influence students to adopt Web 2.0 technologies to supplement in-class learning, using the theoretical foundations of both Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB). Web survey data of 60 students studying in 14 universities and 1 undergraduate college across Australia were used to examine the aforementioned purposes. Findings indicate that most students in this study's sample were aware of the benefits of Web 2.0 technologies to supplement in-class instructions. The findings also indicate that students' attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control were strong determinants of their intention to use Web 2.0 technologies.

Empirical studies on technology adoption usually are based on data from self-reported measures, and a large subset of this literature draws on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) or Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). However, for non-Internet users, self-reported measures and these theoretical frameworks face important limitations: non-users often are under-informed about the technology and are unable to accurately explain their non-use. In addition, the measurement instruments in the TAM/TPB literature often are not applicable to non-users. Addressing these issues, this paper examines non-Internet users' awareness of the Internet's benefits and its impact on adoption intention. Focusing on the under-informed, this approach substitutes awareness for perceived usefulness (or affective attitude). Test results demonstrate good predictive power on non-Internet users' adoption intention, calling for caution when applying these commonly used analytical tools to study late-adopters of technology.

Full textAbstract:
Increased meat consumption is said to have detrimental effects on health, environmental, and non-ethical. One alternative to meat consumption is meat analogues. To our knowledge, Malaysian consumers' perceptions, expectations and their purchase intention of meat analogues is less explored. In our study, significant determinants of consumers’ purchase intentions of meat analogues were studied on 387 consumers by using the extended Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour (TPB). The TPB model accounted for 49% of the variance in purchase intention and 6% of the variance in purchase behaviour. It was revealed that attitude, subjective norms, environmental concerns, healthiness influence, and objective knowledge were all statistically significant predictors of consumers' intention to purchase meat analogues. Purchase intention had a significant but negative correlation on purchase behaviour . We found no evidence that perceived behavioural control, food neophobia, and perceived monetary barriers influenced purchase intention. Knowledge on meat analogues was not significantly correlated with attitude towards meat analogues. Our study also confirmed that meat substitutes should taste, feel, and prepare similarly to meats. In a nutshell, the research findings indicated that meat analogue producers should emphasize on improving the sensorial qualities of their existing meat substitute products and increasing consumers’ awareness about the novel food product.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the role of prior beliefs, analytic thinking, and emotional intensity of content in believing that information is truthful or not. Participants (N = 169 Facebook users) were presented with a series of news headlines previously categorised into three specific subgroups – for or against vaccination, true or false, and high or low in emotional intensity. Each participant first answered questions about their attitude and behaviour towards vaccination against COVID-19 based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and filled out a cognitive reflection test (CRT), a measure of analytic thinking, followed by an evaluation of each headline on whether it is truthful or not. The results showed strong evidence of overall confirmation bias in the group that supports vaccination; however, when considering whether the headline is real or false, the most significant differences between the groups were found in the case of trust in fake headlines against vaccination – those against vaccination to a larger extend believed in false headlines confirming their prior beliefs. In contrast, such differences between the groups in case of false headlines supporting vaccination were weak. Further analysis showed that analytic thinking described by the CRT score had a weak yet statistically significant tendency to promote one’s ability to distinguish real from false information. The intensity of headlines had the most significant differences when evaluating real news headlines supporting vaccination with low emotional intensity and false news headlines against vaccination with low emotional intensity. Overall, these findings provide additional insight into the complex nature of information evaluation online and the critical role of one’s prior beliefs and emotional components of the content.
