Destination Social Media Foodscape and Visit Intention: Double Mediation Assessment of Food Destination Attractiveness and Familiarity Among Gastronomy Tourists

ABSTRACT This study analyses the dynamics between destination social media foodscape (DSMF), food destination attractiveness (FDA), food destination familiarity (FDF) and visit intention among food tourists. Partial-least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the research hypotheses. It has been revealed that DSMF’s social factor and aesthetic appeal have a significant impact on the FDA and FDF. The study’s findings illustrate that both FDA and FDF significantly mediate the relation between social factors and visit intention, as well as between aesthetic appeal and visit intention. The results highlight the importance of tourism stakeholders being strategic in curating DSMF to enhance tourists’ travel planning.

How Creativity Influenced by the Network Efficiency of a Student’s Ego Network Affect Academic Performance Through Academic Coping Strategies?

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dual mediation role of creativity and academic coping in network efficiency and academic performance, using Folkman and Lazarus’s transactional model of stress. Data were obtained from 39 students taking business administration at a Korean university. Social network analysis was performed to check the ego network of students. The double mediation model was applied to analyze the path from network efficiency to academic performance. The results showed that network efficiency, in relation to the structural hole in social network parameters, was double mediated by creativity and academic coping, which had a positive effect on academic performance. However, the effect of double mediation through avoidance was insignificant. Based on the research results, the theoretical and practical implications for the dual mediation effect of creativity and academic coping were presented.

Third, the maladaptive perfectionism was assured to have a double mediation effect through the emotional recognition clarity in regular succession. Conclusions The implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

Physical education consumption and executive function among older empty nesters in urban community: A double mediation effects

ObjectiveThe main aim of this research was to determine the relationships among executive function, fitness mobile applications (APPs), physical exercise activity and physical education consumption in community-dwelling older empty nesters. MethodsA cross-sectional design was applied to evaluate the relationships. A sample of 1104 community-dwelling older empty nesters completed the experiments. Physical education consumption scale, fitness APPs by smartphone application scale, physical exercise activity scale, and executive function scale were applied for the evaluation of the elderly alone in urban communities in southeast China. To explore mediating effects, structural equation modeling of AMOS 23.0, SPSS 25.0 and Process V3.5 software packages were applied for statistical processing. ResultPhysical education consumption positively predicted executive function. Meanwhile, it was also found that physical education consumption and executive function were continuously mediated by fitness APP application and physical exercise activity, with indirect effect value of 0.267, accounting for 76 %. ConclusionThis research revealed how physical education consumption affected executive function of older empty nesters. The obtained results had certain implications for older empty nesters to better balance their executive function and life quality. Community managers should provide older empty nesters with favorable physical education environments in terms of positive physical and psychological environments, to improve their use ratio of fitness APPs usage and physical exercise activity, ultimately enhancing their executive function and life satisfaction.

Materialistic happiness is negatively associated with meaning in life: Aserial double mediation model.

Materialism refers to values that equate materialistic possessions with happiness and success. Gathering materialistic possessions is also central to materialists' life. Extant research has widely shown that materialism is detrimental to people's well-being, but its influences on meaning in life are less clear. In this article, we address two principal research questions within the framework of self-determination theory: First, we explore the association between varying dimensions of materialism and the perceived meaning in life; second, we investigate the factors that mediate the relationship between materialistic values and meaning in life. Two cross-sectional online survey studies (Study 1: 190 Chinese participants; Study 2: 767 participants [mainly Caucasians] from Prolific) were conducted to test a hypothesized serial double mediation model, in which basic psychological needs satisfaction and subjective well-being were the two serial factors mediating the materialistic happiness to meaning in life relationship. Among the three materialism values, only materialistic happiness was negatively associated with meaning in life. Basic psychological needs satisfaction and subjective well-being serially mediated the relationship. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

How Islamic work ethics predict work engagement: a double mediation model

PurposePositive work attributes and moral behaviors are vital for creative organizations, their people and sustainable work systems. The twofold purpose of this study is first, to describe the concept and importance of work ethics in the light of Quranic verses, and second, to examine the link that explains how Islamic work ethics (IWE) predicts work engagement in an individual. A dual mediation path is identified and tested.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using a cross-sectional design, and a sample of 373 health-care employees provided empirical evidence for the conceptualized model.FindingsResults showed full mediation for both mediators, meaning individuals demonstrating higher IWE have strong cognitive and emotional resources that help them to immerse in work constructively. Data was analyzed using SPSS V.16. Implications and future directions are further discussed.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the scant area of identifying IWE consequences in contemporary organizations and extends the understanding of work engagement by linking it with an affective resource as a potential mediator in the mechanism.

Mindfulness and the theory of planned behavior: explaining entrepreneurial intentions of refugees in Uganda

PurposeDoes trait mindfulness enhance refugees' potential to engage in entrepreneurial activities? Entrepreneurship is increasingly used for the socioeconomic integration of refugees and as an approach to attaining refugees' self-reliance. This study aims to explore the effects of trait mindfulness on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) antecedent variables and, consequently, refugees' entrepreneurial and implementation intentions in a low-income context.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses data collected from 398 refugees from three settlements in Uganda. Participants completed a survey questionnaire related to the constructs in the TPB model (attitudes, subjective norm [SN], perceived behavioral control [PBC] and entrepreneurial intentions), trait mindfulness and intention to implement their entrepreneurial intentions. The paper uses serial mediation analysis conducted in PROCESS Macro.FindingsAs predicted, trait mindfulness was positively associated with the constructs in the TPB model and implementation intention. The three antecedent variables in the TPB model and entrepreneurial intentions mediated the association between trait mindfulness and implementation intention. In addition, the double mediation paths involving the TPB antecedent constructs and entrepreneurial intention were significant except for the path via SN and entrepreneurial intentions.Originality/valueThe paper provides insights for integrating trait mindfulness and the TPB model to predict refugees' entrepreneurial intentions and behavior. The study has explored the usefulness of trait mindfulness to the constructs in the TPB model, suggesting that mindfulness interventions can strengthen entrepreneurial attitudes, SN and PBC, consequently boosting entrepreneurial intentions and the likelihood of acting on one’s entrepreneurial intentions.

The study is also one of the few that has examined the effects of organizational compassion on the three components of organizational commitment.

The double mediating effect of stress regulation and life satisfaction on music use as a coping mechanism and happiness in Chinese older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study investigated the relationship between music use as a coping mechanism and subjective happiness among Chinese older adults (COAs) during Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); it also focused on the mediating effect of stress regulation by music and life satisfaction in this relationship. Participants were 329 male and female Chinese adults aged 60 years or older. Data were collected using the Sojump application for an online survey. The double mediating effect was analyzed using PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6. The results revealed that music use as a coping mechanism and stress regulation by music were not significantly correlated with subjective happiness of COAs, whereas these were positively correlated with their life satisfaction. Additionally, life satisfaction of COAs was positively correlated with subjective happiness. Stress regulation by music and life satisfaction completely mediated the relationship between music use as a coping mechanism and subjective happiness of COAs during COVID-19. In the double mediation model, music use as a coping mechanism positively influenced stress regulation by music (β = 0.704), stress regulation by music positively influenced life satisfaction (β = 0.162), and life satisfaction positively influenced subjective happiness (β = 0.498). Therefore, music can promote happiness in COAs in stressful situations through stress regulation and life satisfaction.

Objectives The purposes of this study were to examine the mediated effect and pathway of self-criticism and the fear of compassion in the relationship of internalized shame on loneliness of university students. Methods To this end, 340 university students and graduate students aged 18 to 30 years old completed self-re-ported questionnaires consisting of Internalized Shame Scale(ISS), Self-Critical Cognition Scale(SCCS), The Korean version of the Fear of Compassion Scales, The UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3. Based on the collected data, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and double mediation effects were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and PROCESS Macro ver 3.5 program. Results First, there are positive correlations among internalized shame, loneliness, self-criticism and the fear of compassion. Second, the direct path for loneliness from internalized shame, self-criticism and the fear of com-passion from others was significant. but, the direct path for loneliness from fear of compassion for self was not significant. Third, in the pathway in which internalized shame affects loneliness, the sequential partial dual media-tion pathway of the fear of compassion from others and self-criticism was confirmed. Conclusions Finally, based on these results, the implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for the further research were discussed.

The effect of emotional changes in composite reviews on consumers' information adoption from a dual perspective

PurposeWith the appearance of additional review functionality on e-commerce platforms emotional changes in composite reviews have become more diverse. How consumers process the emotional changes in composite reviews is an important concern for companies. This study investigates the impact of explores how changes in the emotional valence and emotional intensity of composite reviews on consumers' information adoption.Design/methodology/approachBased on emotion as social information theory, this study constructs a double mediation model of how the change in emotional valence of composite reviews affects consumers' adoption intention and examines the moderating effect of the dynamic change of emotional intensity. One field and three online experiments were conducted to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsConsumers were more likely to adopt positive–negative composite reviews than negative–positive composite reviews. Compared to negative–positive composite reviews, positive–negative composite reviews led to higher perceived empathy and lower motivational suspicion, which, in turn, led to higher information adoption. Moreover, dynamic changes in emotional intensity played a moderating role in this effect. Interestingly, the amount of attribute difference changed the differences in perceived empathy and motivated consumer suspicion generated by the composite review when considering the reviewer’s attribute difference description.Originality/valueThe findings have important theoretical contributions that deepen business and consumer understanding of the impact of composite reviews and have practical implications for improving the management of composite reviews by businesses.

청소년의 차별경험이 자살생각에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to determine whether self-esteem and depression have a double mediating effect in the process of experiencing discrimination victimization affecting suicidal thoughts. The subjects of the study were 6,120 middle and high school students from the ‘2022 Children and Youth Human Rights Survey’ data of the Korea Youth Policy Institute, and the double mediation effect was verified using the Macro Process for SPSS program. The research results are as follows. First, the experience of discrimination was found to have a positive effect on suicidal thoughts. Second, the experience of discrimination was found to have a negative effect on self-esteem. Third, the experience of discrimination was found to have a positive effect on depression, and self-esteem was found to have a negative effect on depression. Fourth, experiences of discrimination and depression were found to have a positive effect on suicidal thoughts, and self-esteem was found to have a negative effect. Fifth, the results of the analysis of the direct and total effects of the experience of discrimination victimization on the mediators, self-esteem and depression, and the dependent variable suicidal ideation were both significant, and the double mediating effect was verified, so that the higher the experience of discrimination victimization, the higher the self-esteem. It was found that as the level decreases and the level of self-esteem decreases, depression increases, which leads to an increase in the level of suicidal thoughts. Based on these results, various education, counseling, and program activation measures were proposed to reduce adolescents' suicidal thoughts.

This study aimed to examine the effect of complex trauma on the symptoms of relationship addiction in adults. In addition, this study tried to investigate whether internalized shame and self-silencing have a double mediating effect on the relationship between complex trauma and relationship addiction. To this end, we analyzed data from 350 adults using the scales measuring complex trauma, relationship addiction, internalized shame and self-silencing. As a result, first, there was a positive correlation between complex trauma, relationship addiction, internalized shame and self-silencing. Second, it was confirmed that internalized shame and self-silencing each had a mediating effect between complex trauma and relationship addiction. Third, because of confirming the serial double mediation effect, it was shown that internalized shame and self-silencing sequentially had a mediating effect in the process of complex trauma leading to relationship addiction. The implications and limitations of these results were discussed.

Role of responsible leadership influence to reduce turnover intentions: a double-mediation framework

PurposeThis study aims to propose a double-mediation effect of organizational justice and affective commitment (AC) through which responsible leadership (RL) influences to reduce turnover intention (TI).Design/methodology/approachThe association between responsible leadership and TI, as well as the double-mediating effect of organizational justice and AC, was investigated using an integrated model. Structural equation modeling and Process Macro were used to validate the hypothesized correlations by analyzing the responses of 391 employees working in the Indian health-care sector.FindingsThe outcomes revealed a significant positive association between responsible leadership, organizational justice and AC, as well as a negative association between organizational justice, AC and TI. Moreover, the findings verified the association between responsible leadership and TI.Practical implicationsThis study explored the double-mediating impact of organizational justice and AC on the association between responsible leadership and TI. It also supports the expert in guiding and performing the policy review as an outcome of this relationship.Originality/valueThe primary theoretical contribution of this study is to examine the relationship between RL and TI.

Moreover, it has significant effects on the development of literature about RL, OJ, AC and TI.

The role of followership on organizational citizenship behavior in the service industry: A double mediation model

Competition in service industries is fierce, so operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness can be implemented by optimizing internal resources to increase competitive advantage. This study aims to investigate the role of followership in enhancing organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) with double mediating mechanisms, such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This study was conducted on food distributor service companies in Indonesia and employees as respondents. Questionnaires were used to collect data, which were using convenience sampling. Then, 131 data points were gathered and prepared for analysis using the G-Power minimum sample size. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with the SmartPLS application. The results showed that followership significantly influenced OCB, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Furthermore, it was also observed that job satisfaction showed an effect on OCB. However, organizational commitment does not affect OCB. Furthermore, during mediation testing, only job satisfaction was found to successfully mediate and act as a connecting variable between followership and OCB. This study has contributed to the cognitive resonance theory and suggests that service companies consider leadership followership in order to enhance OCB among their employees efficiently. It also recommended that employees should first exhibit job satisfaction before engaging in extra-role behaviors for the company. AcknowledgmentResearchers give great appreciation to Universitas Brawijaya for funding this research.

상사의 임파워링 리더십이 사무직 근로자의 직무배태성에 미치는 효과

Retaining competent workers is critical since it impacts on continuity of work, recruitment and training costs, and other aspects of organizational effectiveness. This study aims to identify key factors that can prevent office workers from leaving their organization and job, and to complement the limitations of turnover research. Specifically, the study aims to explore the antecedents of job satisfaction, which can promote employee retention and prevent turnover, by analyzing the structural relationships among variables. The study surveyed 350 office workers with more than one year of tenure using an online questionnaire and analyzed the structural relationships among variables using structural equation modeling. The results showed that empowering leadership did not have a direct impact on job satisfaction, but had an indirect positive impact through psychological trust and voice. Psychological trust had a positive direct and indirect impact on job satisfaction and voice, while voice had the largest positive direct impact on job satisfaction. Additionally, both psychological trust and voice had a mediating effect between empowering leadership and job satisfaction, and their double mediation effect was also statistically significant. Based on these results, the study provides empirical evidence for the effectiveness of empowering leadership and suggests practical implications for both academic and organizational settings.

The ripple effect of strain in times of change: how manager emotional exhaustion affects team psychological safety and readiness to change.

Managers assume a pivotal role during periods of organizational change, yet there exists a notable gap in our understanding of how their emotional exhaustion may impact their capacity to generate readiness to change within their teams. Grounded in the conservation of resources theory (COR), this study explores the crossover effect of managers' emotional exhaustion on team readiness to change. We expect this to occur through higher levels of laissez-faire leadership, which impacts the teams' psychological safety. Data was gathered within a Canadian governmental organization undergoing two significant changes-cultural change and digitalization-with a specific focus on leadership as a pivotal factor in preparing teams for change. Employing surveys from 372 team members and 62 managers affected by this change, we conducted path analysis to empirically test the proposed model across 74 teams and their respective managers. Managers' emotional exhaustion has a negative indirect effect on team readiness to change. The double mediation pathway implies a positive relationship on laissez-faire leadership, which hinders psychological safety. In turn, psychological safety hampers team readiness to change. Managers must invest significant resources to fulfill their roles and responsibilities during strategic change. Those who feel exhausted during change may look for ways to protect some of their resources by reducing the time and energy they invest leading their team. This self-preserving resource strategy has detrimental consequences on teams' effectiveness during change due to an indirect crossover effect that affects the levels of psychological safety on the team.

Absence makes the heart grow colder: the harmful nature of invisibility of contemporary American Indians

ABSTRACT In settler colonial societies, settlers employ various practices to eliminate, replace, and erase Indigenous Peoples. We posit that the rarity of representations of contemporary American Indians in mainstream US culture legitimates other settler colonial practices in US society. We studied whether less exposure to representations of contemporary American Indians is associated with less support for challenges to other settler colonial practices. Using survey data from 903 White Americans, we examined associations between exposure to representations of contemporary American Indians, belief that American Indians are “a people of the past”, and support for challenges to settler colonial practices. We found that less exposure to representations of contemporary American Indians was indirectly associated with less support for challenges to settler colonial practices. This association occurs via double mediation – first through belief that American Indian Peoples are not contemporary and second through belief they are “a people of the past”.
