Psychometric properties of the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) in a sample of Brazilian youth and adult athletes

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) in a sample of 1344 Brazilian youth and adult athletes. Participants completed the CART-Q and the Basic Needs Satisfaction in Sport Scale (BNSSS). Data analysis was conducted through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, multigroup analysis, and Pearson's correlation ( p < .05). CFA confirmed a multidimensional structure containing the three dimensions of Closeness, Commitment, and Complementarity: χ² (37) = 264.10; χ²/df = 5.13; CFI = .96; TLI = .94; and RMSEA = .068. Internal consistency was satisfactory (>.70). SEM model showed an acceptable fit ( χ² (56) = 593.28; χ²/df = 2.71; CFI = .90; TLI = .90; RMSEA = .057), indicating that the three dimensions of the CART-Q predicted positively all basic needs satisfaction subscales (β range = .11 to .38). CART-Q was revealed to be invariant across gender, sport type, and age group. It was concluded that the CART-Q can satisfactorily be used in research studies involving Brazilian athletes regardless of their age group, gender, and sport.

Disentangling the relationships between talent management, organizational commitment and turnover intention: Evidence from higher educational institutions in India

AbstractWhile a substantial body of research demonstrated that talent management practices and organizational commitment are linked to turnover decisions, little is known about the mechanism unfolding this process. This research aims to unravel the relationship between various dimensions of talent management and organizational commitment and turnover intention. First, a moderated moderated‐mediation is conceptualized, and relationships are studied by collecting data from 435 faculty members from higher educational institutions (HEIs) in southern India. Then, after checking the psychometric properties of the survey instrument by structural equation modeling (SEM), the data were analyzed using Hayes's PROCESS macros. The findings indicate that (i) talent recruitment strategies positively predict organizational commitment and talent engagement, (ii) talent engagement is positively related to organizational commitment, and (iii) talent engagement mediates the relationship between talent recruitment strategies and organizational commitment. Further, the results documented that talent acquisition (first moderator) and talent development (second moderator) influence the relationship between talent recruitment strategies and talent engagement. Additionally, the results support talent retention in strengthening the relationship between talent engagement and organizational commitment. The previously established negative relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention has been fortified in this study. To the best of our knowledge, the three‐way interaction between talent recruitment strategies, talent acquisition, and talent development is investigated for the first time, representing a pivotal contribution to the bourgeoning literature on talent management. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Investigating the Antecedents of Ecotourism and Destination Loyalty Among Vietnamese Tourists: An Expectation–Confirmation Perspective

What makes tourists revisit a particular destination? Contemporary researchers have approached this problem through the lenses of various operant conditioning models. The current study explores the dimensions of ecotourism and destination loyalty anchoring on the expectation-confirmation theory. The findings confirm that factors such as destination image, tourist satisfaction and tourist experience significantly predict destination and ecotourism loyalty. The investigation first employs a confirmative factor analysis (CFA) model with a marker to inspect correlations among the latent variables. After the constructs are validated through the CFA procedure, a series of hierarchical regressions are introduced to test the hypotheses formulated. The empirical observations approve of all direct and indirect pathways in the structural equation model. For the purpose of the study, 522 Vietnamese tourists who travelled to the Czech Republic for tourism were recruited. The examination has profound marketing implications for ecotourism businesses and DMOs to improve their delivery models.

To moonlight or not to moonlight: The role of organisational commitment dimensions in secondary employment decisions among higher education teachers

AbstractThis study aims to explore the relationship between organisational commitment dimensions and moonlighting intentions. Using a sample of 189 teachers from various higher educational institutions (HEIs), the study employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to examine the impact of organisational commitment dimensions (affective, continuance, normative) on moonlighting intentions. The results of the study indicate a negative relationship between organisational commitment dimensions and moonlighting intentions, suggesting that higher education institutions can reduce moonlighting intentions among faculty members by fostering a positive work environment that promotes organisational commitment. The findings of this study have implications for organisations, as they suggest that increasing employees' affective and normative commitments decrease their intentions to engage in moonlighting. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of understanding the antecedents of moonlighting intentions, as it can help organisations to implement policies and practices that reduce the likelihood of employee moonlighting.

The Mediating Role of Brand Trust and Brand Love between Brand Experience and Loyalty: A Study on Smartphones in China.

Smartphones have become increasingly essential in people's daily lives. Studying the enablers that influence students' smartphone buying intentions can inform technology-enhanced learning development, whereas research on brand loyalty and experience is important for marketing strategies. While prior research has acknowledged the importance of brand experience and customer loyalty, little literature has investigated the specific dimensions of brand loyalty and their connection to brand love and trust. This study investigates the effects of brand attributes on loyalty and word-of-mouth engagement in choosing smartphones in China, including the mediating role of brand trust and brand love between brand experience and loyalty. The study adopted a research framework based on the previous literature and tested it empirically. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey method, collecting 369 questionnaires from Chinese students in mainland China. The collected data were analyzed with the help of structural equation modelling by applying AMOS software version 26. The results showed that brand experience had a significant influence on brand trust, brand love, attitudinal loyalty, and word-of-mouth, except for behavioral loyalty. Likewise, the link between brand trust and attitudinal loyalty, behavioral loyalty, and brand love was found to be significant. The effect of brand love on attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty became significant. Additionally, the study confirmed that behavioral trust and brand love significantly mediates the relationship between brand experience-attitudinal loyalty, and brand experience-behavioral loyalty, respectively. The study results provide numerous theoretical and managerial implications to help academicians and practitioners provide better customer and brand relationship management.

The Dimensions of Loyalty in Public Transit among Older Adults: A Comparative Analysis across Three Canadian Regions

There is an ongoing debate in public transit literature on how loyalty should be defined. While measures of willingness to recommend and to reuse have become the default, some argue for the addition of other dimensions (i.e., satisfaction and importance). We assess whether a unidimensional factor structure representing loyalty exists within these variables using a sample of senior transit users from three Canadian regions. The results are compared to two- and three-variable structures regarding fit and reliability, including questions on the importance of transit to quality of life as a third dimension to loyalty is recommended while not so for satisfaction.

THE EFFECT OF INTRINSIC, EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT ON MILLENNIAL EDUCATOR’S JOB PERFORMANCE

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, organizational commitment, and job performance are major components of development inherent in every individual which every educational institution considers as an essential goal to achieve. For this, the primary purpose of the study was to determine the level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and organizational commitment exerted significant effect on the level of job performance of millennial educators. A descriptive correlational research was conducted involving 143 randomly selected millennial educators in the Diocese of Malolos. The findings revealed that the intrinsic motivation (p-value of 0.037) was found significant and extrinsic motivation (p-value of 0.908) was found not significant in relation to Job Performance. The combined effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation revealed that there was no significant influence with job performance (p-value of 0.174) of the educators. However, the influence of organizational commitment on job performance was found not significant. These findings indicated that the three dimensions of organizational commitment namely affective (0.65), continuance (0.016) and normative (0.025) were not directly correlated with the job performance of the millennial educators. Generally, the study proposes that extrinsic motivation may be examined to help millennial educators to enhance job performance and that school management may take a deeper look at organizational commitment of the educators to help them foster healthy and conducive work- relationship between and among employees as well as the administrators.

Commitment in sport: Motivational climate, need satisfaction/thwarting and behavioural outcomes

We examined whether motivational climate (autonomy-supportive coach climate; controlling coach climate) and basic psychological need satisfaction/thwarting (i.e., autonomy, competence, relatedness) were related to sport commitment (enthusiastic and constrained commitment) and self-reported behavioural outcomes (i.e., behavioural effort; intention to continue) in sport. Participants were 229 young adult athletes from a range of sports (M age = 19.70 years; SD = 1.51 yrs) who had participated in their sport for an average of 10.1 years (SD = 4.03 yrs). Path analyses revealed positive associations amongst autonomy-supportive climate, need satisfaction, enthusiastic commitment, and self-reported behavioural outcomes. Similarly, positive links were found amongst controlling climate, need thwarting, constrained commitment, and, to a lesser extent, behavioural outcomes. We also examined mediation effects: (a) the relationship between need satisfaction and behavioural effort was partially mediated by enthusiastic commitment; (b) the relationship between need satisfaction and future intentions was fully mediated by enthusiastic commitment; while (c) no significant mediation effects were found for need thwarting, commitment dimensions, and behavioural outcomes. Our results highlighted the role of enthusiastic commitment as an important psychological construct mediating the relationship between athlete need satisfaction and behavioural outcomes. We extended previous research examining sport commitment by integrating the multidimensional Sport Commitment Model (enthusiastic and constrained commitment) with need satisfaction and need thwarting in an effort to investigate self-reported behavioural outcomes in sport. Future research employing longitudinal research designs is needed to examine these relationships over time and with behavioural measures of effort, intention to continue, and actual persistence.
