Does justice matter in voice? Inclusive leadership and employee voice: the moderating role of organizational justice perception.

As a distinctive form of relational leadership, the impact of inclusive leadership on employee work behavior has been widely considered by scholars. The purpose of this study was to examine the positive effects of inclusive leadership on employee voice (promotive voice and prohibitive voice), and the moderating role of organizational justice perception (distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice) on such positive effects. Based on social exchange theory, this study used a multi-wave and multi-source survey to obtain data from 258 subordinates and 52 team leaders from construction companies located in China. The results showed that inclusive leadership was positively related to promotive voice and prohibitive voice. Distributive justice and interactional justice would strengthen the positive relationship between inclusive leadership and promotive voice. Distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice would strengthen the positive relationship between inclusive leadership and prohibitive voice. First, this study examined the impact of inclusive leadership on employee voice, emphasized the importance of inclusive leadership as the core of relational leadership, and provided guidance for improving employee promotive and prohibitive voice. Second, this study conceptualized organizational justice perception as distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice, comprehensively considered the impact of the three dimensions of justice perception on the effectiveness of inclusive leadership, and provided specific reference for employee management practice from the perspective of justice.

Evaluaciones de Diseño y Experiencia de Usuario en Realidad Virtual: Una Revisión Bibliográfica Sistematizada Avaliações da Experiência do Usuário em Realidade Virtual: Uma Revisão Bibliográfica Sistematizada sob a ótica do Design

Virtual Reality (VR) technology provides the sensation of immersion in virtual digital spaces, through interactions that occur in different dimensions of perceptions. Considering the lack of research involving VR in evaluations of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Emotional Design, and User Experience, the present study aimed to investigate the state-of-the-art in this subject. For this, a systematic literature review was carried out. The question to be answered is: How do users change behavior in visual interaction with different artifacts in real and virtual environments and how that influences the perception (emotional, semantic, and usability) of individuals? Structured analyzes were applied to scientific articles that address the experience of healthy adult participants and their interaction relationship with environments and artifacts immersed in VR. After screening and in-depth reading steps, 27 articles were selected for meta-analysis discussions. The results point to the existence of a scientific gap since the works found and analyzed only partially answered the research question, which, because of this, may indicate an open field for studies involving VR This technology can be a viable tool with potential of assisting and complementing the methodological processes already consolidated in the Design and Human Factors areas.

Towards the process of designing an architecture of e-learning activities according to the kolb cycle

In the context of experiential learning, the Kolb Cycle offers a dynamic approach to learning that associatively integrates the concrete and the abstract by allowing learners to engage in concrete experiences, reflect, conceptualize and actively experience their learning. This article aims to contribute to the development of an architecture of learning activities corresponding to the transition from concrete to abstract in the kolb cycle, through an inductive approach in online teaching. The study explores how Kolb's four learning styles can be integrated into online learning activities aimed at meeting the needs and preferences of learners. Our work highlights the importance of considering learning style of each learner when designing and delivering online learning activities and addresses the perception dimension (concrete and abstract) at the method and practice level that the other dimension will be presented in a future article.

Insights from China: understanding the impact of community resilience and government trust in psychological resilience and anxiety during COVID-19.

COVID-19 has the potential to greatly impact an individual mental well-being. However, an individual's psychological resilience, combined with support from their community and government disaster relief efforts can aid individuals in confronting crises with a positive mindset. The purpose of this study is to investigate how individuals, across three dimensions of individual resilience perception, community resilience perception, and government trust perception, mitigate individual anxiety during COVID-19. This study employed an online survey method that was not restricted by geographical location. Data collection took place from January 2022 to June 2022, and the valid questionnaires covered all 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China. The assessment of community resilience was conducted employing the Conjoint Community Resilience Assessment Measure-10 (CCRAM-10). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was also used to examine the relationship between community resilience, government trust, individual psychological resilience, and anxiety. The SEM results reveal that individual psychological resilience is significantly negatively correlated with anxiety (b = -0.099, p < 0.001), while there is a significant positive correlation between community resilience perception (b = 0.403, p < 0.001) and government trust (b = 0.364, p < 0.001) with individual psychological resilience. Furthermore, government trust perception enhances psychological resilience, consequently reducing anxiety (b = -0.036, p < 0.001). The results also revealed that women and increasing age had a mitigating effect on individual anxiety during COVID-19. Individual's mental state is influenced on multiple dimensions during COVID-19. Not only can individual psychological resilience better cope with anxiety, but support at the community and government dimensions has a significant impact on individual psychology. These resources can enhance the resilience of both individuals and communities, helping them better cope with stress and difficulties.

Komunikasi Risiko Berbasis Masyarakat dalam Menghadapi Banjir di Kabupaten Aceh Barat

Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster that still poses a threat to people’s lives, especially in rural areas such as Blang Beurandang Village, West Aceh District. Ecological conditions, deforestation, and uncontrolled land use change increase the risk of flooding in an area, in addition to high-intensity rainfall factors. Flood mitigation efforts are not only a structural-technical approach but also require an understanding of community knowledge and experiences that are exchanged in social interactions. Using the concept of community-based risk communication, this research was conducted to explain the risk communication practices carried out by the community of Blang Beurandang Village in dealing with recurrent floods. Data was collected through interviews with ten community informants, who were selected based on predetermined criteria. The results showed that at the community level, risk perception is formed as a subjective assessment of environmental vulnerability, socio-economic vulnerability, hazards, and capacity. Risk perception plays a role in encouraging communities to seek flood risk information from easily accessible sources and use the information channels they have. We recommend a community-based risk communication model that considers the interrelated dimensions of risk perception and risk communication. Keywords: risk communication, risk perception flood, community-based preparedness, environment

Decoding consumer-centric transition to electric mobility based on sentiment, semantic and statistical analysis

Climate change, carbon emissions, and energy resource depletion have become major concerns worldwide. The transportation sector is a primary target in various political and environmental agendas to tackle them. This calls for switching to sustainable transportation, and one of the important steps towards it is vehicle electrification. Understanding public attitudes towards electric vehicles (EVs) is the key to escalating vehicle electrification. By doing so, governments and enterprises can take the necessary action to persuade people to adopt electric mobility. Unlike past studies, which measured public attitudes using user acceptance data at a minuscule level, this paper adopts a macroscopic approach to this problem by mining public opinions from Twitter. Since Twitter provides access to its public tweet database, decoding the opinions of a vast population for extensive periods has become computationally tractable in recent years. The collected tweets have been used to examine the temporal and geographical dimensions of public perception using Natural Language Processing techniques. The substantial shifts in public sentiment have been identified, and the underlying incidents and topics were interpreted. In the pre-pandemic phase, most of the study nations saw an improvement in public sentiment towards EVs in the time period just before the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be attributed to the world-wide race to zero emissions to meet the Paris Agreement's carbon reduction targets. The public optimism further improved during the pandemic period. After the pandemic, the positivity towards EVs has declined in majority of the nations. The interpreted topics of discourse at the sentiment changepoints can be categorised into the following broad themes: (i) users and potential customers discourse, (ii) engineering and technology, (iii) politics, (iv) environment, (v) business and marketing, and (vi) miscellaneous. Most of the topics of discussion were centred around electric automotive firms, signifying the importance of the role of electric vehicle enterprises in electric vehicle adoption. The outcomes of this study can aid policymakers and electric automotive firms in comprehending the evolution of public perception towards electric mobility and thereby adopt and accelerate the human-centric transitions to carbon-neutral transport options.

Mandarin Chinese translation of the ISO-12913 soundscape attributes to investigate the mechanism of soundscape perception in urban open spaces

This study is part of a global collaboration to translate the soundscape attributes proposed in ISO/TS 12913-2:2018, which aims to standardise soundscape research globally. Cross-referencing results from two independent expert panels produced a set of eight soundscape attributes that were subsequently experimentally verified, forming a reliable questionnaire for soundscape characterisation in Mandarin Chinese. Employing the as-developed questionnaire, ex situ auditory-only soundscape perception experiments were carried out with 27 soundscape recordings from urban open spaces in the United Kingdom. The soundscape perception scale was used to evaluate participants' experiences, which were then projected into two dimensions of soundscape perception, pleasantness and eventfulness, following protocols from ISO 12913-3:2019. Physical and psychoacoustic parameters, as well as the characteristics of the sound sources, were extracted from the recordings. These parameters were used together to describe the soundscape characteristics of the recordings. Principal component analysis revealed that, when individuals are exposed to urban open spaces, the salient sound source becomes the foreground focus of attention, informing them to perceive the soundscape. Beyond this, perception stimulation is further based on the acoustic characteristics of the soundscape. Regression analysis investigated factors for pleasantness and eventfulness. For pleasantness, the overall S95 had a significant negative effect while birdsong was beneficial. With regard to eventfulness, mechanical sound had a detrimental impact, while the number of salient sound source types and the overall F50 had a positive impact. Furthermore, this study founds that certain types of sound sources make the sound more recognisable as a foreground sound, thereby stimulating perception, while others may be ignored as background sounds but still contribute to the perception through their acoustic characteristics.

41 Predictors of Cognitive Symptoms Following Adult Civilian Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Objective:Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is an important public health problem, due to its high incidence and the failure of at least 20% of patients to successfully recover from injury. Cognitive symptoms, in particular, are an important area of research in mTBI, due to their association with return to work and referral to neuropsychological services. Understanding the predictors of cognitive symptoms may help to improve outcomes after mTBI. This study explored female sex, psychological distress, coping style and illness perceptions as potential predictors of cognitive symptoms following adult civilian mTBI.Participants and Methods:Sixty-nine premorbidly healthy adults with mTBI (mean age = 36.7, SD = 14.7, range = 18-60; 15 females) were recruited from trauma wards at two public hospitals in Australia and assessed 6-12 weeks following injury. Cognitive complaint was measured using a comprehensive 30-item scale (CCAMCHI) assessing mTBI-specific symptoms in the domains of processing speed, attention, memory and executive function. Participants additionally completed the following measures: Brief-COPE, Illness Perceptions Questionnaire-Revised, Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and PTSD Checklist for DSM-5. The latter three measures were combined to create an index of psychological distress.Results:Bivariate nonparametric correlational analyses indicated that female sex (r[67] = .26, 95% CI [.14, .55], p = .03) and psychological distress (r[66] = .54, 95% CI [.40, .72], p &lt; .001) were each significantly associated with cognitive symptom reporting following mTBI. Additionally, while none of the three coping style factors were associated with cognitive symptom reporting, seven of the eight dimensions of illness perceptions were associated with symptom reporting (|r| = .25 - .58, p &lt; 0.05). In a linear regression model assessing the combined effects of each variable, female sex, greater psychological distress, and overall negative illness perceptions were each significant independent predictors of increased cognitive complaint (adj. R2 = .47, F[4,63] = 15.59, p &lt; .001).Conclusions:These findings implicate female sex, psychological distress, and illness perceptions as key factors associated with cognitive symptom reporting after mTBI. This research suggests that these factors may be useful in clinical practice when considering early identification of individuals at risk of poor recovery. Specifically, this research implicates females, individuals with high psychological distress, and individuals with negative illness perceptions as important to subgroups to consider for potential intervention after mTBI. Additionally, as psychological distress and illness perceptions are both potentially modifiable, this research suggests that these factors may be useful targets for intervention.

Music and speech time perception of musically trained individuals: The effects of audio type, duration of musical training, and rhythm perception.

The perception of time is a subjective experience influenced by various factors such as individual psychology, external stimuli, and personal experiences, and it is often assessed with the use of the reproduction task that involves individuals estimating and reproducing the duration of specific time intervals. In the current study, we examined the ability of 97 musically trained participants to reproduce the durations of temporal intervals that were filled with music or speech stimuli. The results revealed a consistent pattern of durations being underestimated, and an association was observed between the duration of musical training and the level of accuracy in reproducing both music and speech tracks. In addition, speech tracks were overall reproduced more accurately, and as longer, than music tracks. Structural models suggested the presence of two, highly correlated, dimensions of time perception for speech and music stimuli that were related to the duration of musical training, but not with self-reported rhythm perception. The possible effects of arousal and pleasantness of stimuli on time perception are discussed within the framework of an internal clock model.

Effects of risk perception on commuters’ mode choice behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from Shenzhen, China

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has influenced and is still influencing people’s daily lives worldwide. The infection rate and health and safety countermeasures may influence people’s epidemic risk perception, thus influencing their travel mode choice. It is critical to understand epidemic risk perception and its impact on travel mode choice behavior to ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of health and safety policy implementation. In this study, we conducted an online survey to investigate how commuters’ epidemic risk perception affects travel mode choice behavior in Shenzhen. The online survey mainly includes Likert scale questions and a stated preference experiment with three scenarios to capture commuters’ epidemic risk perceptions and travel mode choice behaviors. First, confirmatory factor analysis was used to obtain three dimensions of epidemic risk perception from the Likert scale questions. Then, three subpopulation groups, including risk-sensitive commuters, risk-insensitive commuters and cautious commuters, were classified based on their risk perception using clustering analysis. Finally, a latent class choice model was estimated to capture the influencing factors of mode choice behavior. Three classes of mode choice behavior were identified, including those who can accept using public transportation, those who avoid using public transportation and tend to bicycles/electric bicycles and those who avoid using public transportation and tend to personal cars. The obtained results can provide valuable support for decision-making during and after an epidemic. Firstly, by offering insights into the intricate risk perception characteristics of Shenzhen residents, these findings can contribute to the effective management of epidemic risks during an epidemic. Secondly, by revealing the factors that influence individuals' preferences for travel modes, these results play a pivotal role in enhancing the market share of the public transportation system after the epidemic.

Examining the Relationship Between Touch and Visual Perception: Pareidolia Perception in the Social Brain

Purpose: Human perception is a complex system based on the interaction of different modalities. However, it is unclear how adults’ perception of social touch influences their social dimension of visual perception. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between social touch perception and visual perception in the social brain. &#x0D; Materials and methods: The survey study recruited 802 healthy participants. Thus, a self-report survey that included the Social Touch Questionnaire consisting of three factors and the pareidolia test were used. Pearson’s Correlation and one- way ANOVA was performed for analysis. &#x0D; Result: We display a statistically significant negative correlation between face reaction time, personal social touch factor, and liking personal social touch factor. An adverse important relationship emerged between pareidolia reaction time, liking of personal social touch, and social touch behavior factors. &#x0D; Conclusion: According to our results, multimodal perception necessitates the simultaneous activation of multiple heteromodal associations in the social brain. Our findings can be interpreted as an interaction between the Dorsal and Ventral Attention Networks and the Social Brain Network.

Moderating Effect of Flexible Work Arrangements on The Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Innovative Work Behavior: Evidence from The Logistic Sector

This study examines the moderating effect of flexible work arrangements on the relationship between self-efficacy and innovative work behavior. Data were collected from 202 logistics employees working in Ankara, Türkiye. SPSS process macro plugin was used to test the moderation effect. The theoretical basis of the study was analyzed within the framework of Conservation of Resources (Hobfoll, 1989), Social Cognition Theory (Bandura, 1986), and Job-Demand Resources models (Bakker &amp; Demerouti, 2007). Within the scope of the study, the perception of flexible working was examined in two sub-dimensions as time and structure flexibility perception. The results revealed that an increase in both structure and time flexibility perception dimensions increased the strength of the relationship between self-efficacy and innovative work behavior. The study is important because it is one of the few studies that examine logistics employees despite their significant contribution to the global economy. Understanding the behaviors of sector employees is of great importance in terms of optimizing operational efficiency and improving overall performance in the sector.

TO TRAVEL OR NOT: TRAVEL INTENTION DURING POST-PANDEMIC TIMES

The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the tourism industry in various ways, including tourists’ travel intentions. Unlike previous studies that have focused on the dark side of the pandemic, this study adds the dimension of perceptions of information on COVID-19, social groups, and perceived travel risk to explore their influence on travel intention. A total of 250 valid questionnaires were collected from a sample of Malaysian private university students. The results showed that students’ traveling intention for local or international destination in the forthcoming year following the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is significantly high. In addition, the travel intention of Malaysian students was formed from the direct roles of COVID-19 information, social groups, and perceived travel risks. Perhaps, these students start travel plans when they feel the pandemic was under control by the government especially the statistics of affected people revealed by the Ministry of Health shows a decreasing trend. In addition, they might have the intention to travel since their family and friends have the same intention. However, students may choose destinations with less risk, and destinations that they perceive as risky may become undesirable. This study contributes to the understanding of the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism and of university students’ travel intentions. It also offers implications for the tourism industry to formulate relevant recovery strategies after the pandemic.

How does three-dimensional landscape pattern affect urban residents' sentiments

The impact of urban street landscapes on residents' sentiments is a critical concern. However, the current representation of street landscapes through landscape pattern two-dimensional metrics (LP2DM) derived from remote sensing images neglects the perceptibility of residents' visible environments at the eye level. To address this gap, we developed a novel landscape pattern three-dimensional metric (LP3DM) to quantitatively represent landscape perceptibility based on four individual perception dimensions: green space, gray space, openness, and crowding. We then investigated the relationships between LP3DM and residents' sentiments using Baidu street view images and Weibo social media textual big data in Beijing, China. Our results demonstrate that LP3DM is more significant correlated with residents' sentiments than LP2DM (average contribution, ACLP2DM=0.025, ACLP3DM=0.054). Notably, the greenness metric exhibited the highest contribution (AC=0.12), with the greenness three-dimensional metric showing a positive correlation (r = 0.15, p < 0.01) with residents' sentiments, while grayness exhibited a slightly negative correlation (r = −0.087, p < 0.1). Our study highlights the importance of considering the perceptibility of natural landscape elements in addition to their quantity during urban construction to enhance residents' sentimental well-being. Overall, our LP3DM framework offers a promising approach to capture residents' landscape perceptibility and inform urban planning and design decisions.

Factors Associated With Perception of Stigma Among Parents of Children With Cleft Lip and Palate: Cross-Sectional Study.

Parents of children with cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) often face stigmatization, which has a significant impact on their quality of life and mental health. However, to date, there is a lack of comprehensive, multicenter empirical research on parents of children with CL/P in China, particularly those with large-scale samples. This study aimed to identify major factors that contribute to the perception of stigma experienced by parents of children with CL/P. A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A total of 104 parents of children diagnosed with CL/P in 2 hospitals were selected by convenience sampling. Demographics and disease information, the Chinese Perception of Stigma Questionnaire, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Social Anxiety Scale were used in this study. Descriptive statistics, t tests, and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the differences between participants' demographic information and perception of stigma. Multivariable linear regression was performed to assess associations between demographic factors, social anxiety, depression, and perception of stigma. The mean scores for the dimensions of perception of stigma, depression, and social anxiety were 22.97 (SD 9.21), 38.34 (SD 8.25), and 22.86 (SD 6.69), respectively. Depression and social anxiety were positively associated with discrimination, while surgery status was a negatively associated variable. Parents with a college education or higher had significantly lower levels of perceived stigma compared to parents with a junior high school education (all P values <.05). These 4 factors explained 40.4% of the total model variance (F8=9.726; P<.001; R2=0.450; adjusted R2=0.404). Our findings highlight a concerning trend of diminished quality of life among parents of children with CL/P. Factors such as parents' education level, surgery status, depression, and social anxiety are shown to influence the level of stigma experienced. Implementing comprehensive nursing care and providing presurgical support are effective strategies for alleviating parents' social anxiety, reducing perceived stigma, and preventing depression.

Investigating the Dimensions of Mind Perception

Mind perception is the ability to infer the presence of a mind in other beings or non-living things (e.g., a tree, an animal, a robot) and make judgements about what "kind" of mind that being possesses. Research has shown that there is a dimensionality to the schema of mind perception, though the number of dimensions is debated. The present study aimed to explore the dimensions via a mind perception scale that measures participants’ perceptions of mental capacities (n = 181). The data was highly suited for factor analysis, so principal axis factoring and multiple criteria were used to find the retained factors. Findings suggest a two-dimensional model of mind perception, supporting the field’s landmark study by Gray et al. (2007).

Sorry About the Connection: Client-Reported Telehealth Technology Competency and Difficulties

The growing body of research on telehealth services provides evidence of the efficacy of services and the possibility for greater accessibility of counseling services for hard-to-reach clients. However, less is known how clients think about the process of telehealth for mental health services. This study focused on two dimensions of client perception: telehealth difficulties and telehealth technology competency. This study examined the factor structure of two client-reported new measures, the Telehealth Difficulties Scale and the Telehealth Technology Competency Scale, through exploratory factor analyses. Results found that both measures had a one-factor structure with a high degree of reliability. Implications for these results are discussed, and future directions are given.

Breaking the mold with effective communication: how social initiatives enhance a brand's social perception and catalyze pro-environmental and purchase intentions

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to fill the research gap by investigating the impact of brand social initiatives on both the warmth and competence dimensions of the brand, as well as examining the brand's potential to induce pro-environmental behavioral change among consumers.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a scenario-based survey design and surveyed 415 consumers in India. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0.FindingsThe results show that social initiatives enhance both dimensions of social perception and increase cooperative intentions. Brand competence is more crucial than warmth in predicting behavioral intentions. Brand-cause fit, CSR commitment and initiatives' impact all influence the brand image. A brand's commitment to the cause is more significant than brand-cause fit in determining how consumers evaluate a brand.Practical implicationsThis research provides insights into how social initiatives can enhance brand image and encourage helping intentions through effective communication traits. It can aid brands in building consumer trust, benefiting society and boosting finances. The study offers a framework for effective cause communication strategies, highlighting the importance of commitment to the cause over fitting with the brand's image to elicit desired responses.Originality/valueThis study is a novel attempt that uses the stereotype content model and costly signaling theory to explore how social initiatives influence a brand's warmth and competence and impact consumer behavior. It provides critical insights into the psychological mechanisms behind social initiatives' impact on consumer behavioral intentions.

Analysis of Patient Safety Culture Post of the COVID-19 Outbreak Peak

BACKGROUND: Patient safety culture is an important indicator of the quality of health services. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a health emergency that contributed to the dynamics of handling and providing services in the health sector and put significant pressure on the health sector. Health services during the COVID-19 pandemic faced serious challenges. During a pandemic, safe and high-quality care is an important goal in the patient safety care system, which is an effort to prevent mistakes in providing services. METHOD: This study used analytical descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach and continued with correlation and comparative studies. The sample in this study amounted to 323 respondents by non-probability sampling. RESULTS: At the beginning of the pandemic, especially during the first spike in cases, there was a decline in patient safety culture, especially in the reporting of patient safety incidents. This decline was immediately corrected from 27.6% after the peak of the first pandemic to 52.4% after the peak of the second pandemic to 70% after the peak of the third pandemic. The dimension of teamwork between units had the largest correlation (r = 0.506) with a value of p = 0.000 in the first post-peak pandemic; in the post-peak of the second pandemic, the overall perception dimension of patient safety was the dimension with the largest correlation value (r = 0.547) with a value of p = 0.000. In the third post-peak pandemic, the supervisor/manager expectation dimension and actions that support patient safety were the dimensions that had the largest correlation value (r = 0.255) with a value of p = 0.000. CONCLUSION: There are dominant factors related to the quality of implementing patient safety culture in each post- peak pandemic and there are differences in the quality of implementing patient safety culture for each post-peak pandemic.

Do Sustainability Perceptions Affect Lake Destination Loyalty?

Despite a growing concern over sustainability in tourism, research on this domain, regarding, specifically, lake destinations, is still scarce. Although perceptions on lake destinations have been studied, no study is known that has analyzed the impact of visitors’ perceptions on satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Thus, this paper aims to develop and test a model to analyze the effect of lake visitors’ perceptions of destination’s sustainability on both satisfaction and loyalty towards lake destinations. A questionnaire survey was conducted in the Shchuchinsk-Burabay resort area, an important lake destination in Northern Kazakhstan. The results support the proposed lake destination loyalty model, tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Sustainability proved to be decisively influential, with water quality being the dimension with the highest impact on satisfaction with the lakes, along with a positive key impact of other dimensions of perceptions of the lakes being the absence of congestion. In addition, both water quality and lack of congestion had, conjointly with other features, a significant indirect impact on satisfaction with lake destinations and on loyalty. Based on the research findings, theoretical conclusions and practical implications are drawn.
