Sustainable entrepreneurial intention among livestock farmers: The role of green entrepreneurial mindset, green entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and environmental awareness

To describe the prevalence of psychological distress in rural China and examine the associated influence of social support, lifestyle and functional disability. Cross-sectional survey with two-stage stratified random sampling. Twenty-seven villages in Dongying City of Shandong Province. A total of 2541 rural residents aged 15-91 years. Psychological distress was assessed by the Kessler 10, social support was assessed by the Social Support Rating Scale and lifestyle and functional disability was assessed with self-developed questionnaires. Of the rural residents assessed, 32.9% had K10 scores of 16 or greater. Women scored significantly higher than men did on the K10 (t ((2539)) = 7.23, P < 0.001). Functional disability was found to have a direct positive effect on psychological distress. Lifestyle had a direct negative effect on psychological distress and an indirect negative effect on psychological distress by reducing functional disability. Social support had an indirect negative effect on psychological distress by reducing functional disability and enhancing healthy lifestyles. A third of the rural population in China reported psychological distress, with the highest prevalence observed in women. Functional disability had a significant direct effect, social support had significant indirect effects and lifestyle had both significant direct and indirect effects on psychological distress.

Entrepreneurship education and business and science students’ green entrepreneurial intentions: The role of green entrepreneurial self-efficacy and environmental awareness

This research aims to analyze the exposure to Facebook pages regarding environment, consumers’ environmental awareness, and their behavioral tendency. The research explores the relationship between the exposure to Facebook pages and consumers’ environmental awareness, as well as relationship between consumers’ environmental awareness and their behavioral tendency. This quantitative research was conducted through an online survey which collected data from 200 respondents, aged between 18 to 64 years old who currently reside in Thailand. The results from the study reveals that respondents frequently see both text post and photo post equally (M = 2.47) from Environman or 3WheelsUncle or other Facebook pages regarding environment. Moreover, the respondents most agree that they are concerned about water pollution in Thailand (M = 4.79) and deforestation in Thailand (M = 4.78). In terms of behavioral tendency, the respondents most likely bring their own shopping bag when going shopping (M = 4.50). The results of this research also confirm that there is a positive correlation (r = 0.346) between consumers’ environmental awareness and their behavioral tendency. However, the results do not confirm the relationship between consumers’ exposure to Facebook pages regarding environment and environmental awareness (r = 0.067), because the calculated significance level was 0.349, which was greater than the acceptable significance level of 0.01 which means that the relationship between consumers’ exposure to the Facebook pages regarding environment and environmental awareness are statistically low that it is not insignificant.

The industrial world has begun to enter the 5.0 era which marked by increasingly advanced technological developments. One of the them is the development of digital wallets that make people to pay online or offline easier.

This study was a survey study aiming to test a model explaining the direct and indirect relationships of the influencing factors of intention to leave nursing profession. The conceptual framework was developed based on research literature review and push-and pull-factors. Stratified two stages sampling was used to recruit the sample. They were 405 registered nurses providing direct nursing care in main unit and work experience greater than three months, from nine regional hospitals in all regions of Thailand. Subjects completed eight self-administered questionnaires. All questionnaires demonstrated an acceptable content and construct validity, and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and a linear structural relationship (LISREL) 8.53. The findings revealed that the hypothesized model fit the empirical data and explained 45% of the variance of intention to leave nursing profession (χ2= 152.67, df= 127, p=0.06, χ2/df=1.20, GFI=0.96, CFI=1.00, RMSEA=0.022, SRMR =0.038, AGFI=0.94). Burnout was the most influential factor on intention to leave nursing profession which it had positive direct effect (.37, p&lt;.05) and had positive indirect effect on intention to leave nursing profession through job satisfaction and professional commitment (.07, p&lt;.05). Professional commitment had negative direct effect on intention to leave nursing profession (-.25, p&lt;.05). Work-family conflict had positive direct effect on intention to leave nursing profession (.47, p&lt;.05) and had positive direct effect on burnout (.17, p&lt;.05), additionally, it had positive indirect effect through job satisfaction and professional commitment (.22, p&lt;.05). Employment opportunity had positive direct effect on intention to leave nursing profession (.08, p&lt;.05). Job satisfaction had no significant direct effect on intention to leave nursing profession, on the other hand had negative indirect effect through professional commitment (-.07, p&lt;.05). Nurse practice environment had no significant negative direct effect on intention to leave nursing profession, on the other hand had negative indirect effect through professional commitment (-.22, p&lt;.05). These findings demonstrated that the highest impact factors influencing intention to leave nursing profession was burnout followed by professional commitment and work-family conflict, respectively. Therefore, identifying these factors is crucial in order to develop workforce planning and creating fit strategies to retain and prevent early leaving nursing workforce.

Does the pathway to transportation walking for older adults run through recreational walking?

This study aims to examine the impact of Theory of Planned Behavior components – attitude, subjective norms and perceived control behavior on perceived socially responsible investment (SRI) behavior among fund managers of unit trust fund companies with intention to engage in SRI as a mediating variable. This cross sectional study employs questionnaire to collect the opinion from respondents. Three hundred and twenty questionnaires have been distributed but only 84 have been returned by the fund managers, with a response rate of 26.25 per cent. A scan of such questionnaires further revealed that only 73 could be taken up for analysis. Thus, the usable rate is 22.81 percent. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) that has been used in the study has revealed that the model has a good fit for the model (above minimum requirements for goodness of fit criteria) which indicates the appropriateness of instrument and measurement. The analysis shows that subjective norms have significant and positive direct effect on perceived SRI behavior. In addition, subjective norms also have a significant and positive indirect effect on perceived SRI behavior through intention to engage in SRI. Attitude has a positive and significant direct impact on intention, while it does not have a significant direct effect on perceived SRI behavior. Besides, the study has evidenced significant direct effect of intention on perceived SRI behavior. However, the study has not found any evidence to support the association of perceived control behavior with intention and perceived SRI behavior. The major limitation of this existing study is a lower response rate; nevertheless it provides good understanding on the interaction of attitude, subjective norms, perceived control behavior, intention and behavior in the context of socially responsible investment in emerging economies like Malaysia.
