Value Commitment Influence on Turnover Intention, Mediated by Organizational Culture among Health Professionals in National Referral Hospitals in Kenya

The study aimed to determine the influence of value commitment on turnover intention among health professionals of public national referral hospitals in Kenya. Further, the study examined whether organizational culture mediates the effect of value commitment on the turnover intention of health professionals in public national referral hospitals in Kenya. The research designs used were descriptive and correlation. The designs assessed the relationship, effect, and mediation, where value commitment's influence on turnover intention and organizational culture mediation of value commitment's effect on turnover intention was tested. Theories that anchored this study included organizational support theory and theory Z. The Target population was all health professionals in public national referral hospitals in Kenya. The study used SPSS version 25 for scale accuracy. The findings of the study indicated that the value commitment relationship was significant. Value commitment and organizational culture relationships were also significant. The study found that organizational culture-mediated value commitment affects turnover intention. The study concluded that value commitment influences turnover intention among Kenya's health professionals in public national referral hospitals. It was also concluded that the effect of value commitment on turnover intention was mediated by organizational culture. The study recommended that boards of management in public national referral hospitals set standard operating policy that improves value commitment goals. Human resource managers should come up with practices that enhance the attitude change of employees to see that organizations succeed in achieving their goals. National Assembly should come up with a curriculum that trains health professionals on value commitment tenets that improve the performance of long-serving employees.

THE ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AS A MEDIATING VARIABLE IN THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN THE TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY

Business competition has required every company to examine more deeply the appropriate strategy to use so that the company can have strong competitiveness and survive amidst quite dynamic environmental changes. Research on human resource management is expected to contribute to examining the contribution of elements that can be factors that affect employee performance. This current study examines and analyzes the effect of training and organizational culture on employee performance with the mediation of organizational commitment in the telecommunication industry. This current study focuses on mediating organizational commitment's effect on organizational culture and employee performance. One hundred ten respondents who participated in the survey were recruited by using a saturated sampling technique. The data of this quantitative study was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling of PLS and hypothesis testing. This results study finds that the two variables have different effects: training has no significant effect on organizational commitment and employee performance, but organizational culture results in the opposite. Implications derived from this study are expected to be used by companies in their improvement efforts.

Restarting Athens Marathon During COVID-19 Uncertainty

The COVID-19 outbreak had a disastrous effect in the event industry. This has also heavily affected sport events with substantial disruptions, postponements, and even cancellations. The study focuses on Athens Marathon participants, and examines their perspectives concerning their willingness to support the restart of the event. The research was held in November 2021, during the restart of Athens Marathon at Kalimarmaro stadium in Athens, Greece. Drawing from a sample of 400 race runners in all three Athens Marathon races (5 km, 10 km, 42 km), the research examines the chaordic systems of participants' decision-making through the employment of fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis. The findings have generated three sufficient pathways (event loyalty, COVID-19 effect, brand protection) that are able to lead to the participants' willingness to support the restart of Athens Marathon. The contribution of the study lies in both theoretical and methodological domains, while it also provides several managerial implications.

Road Racing Event Management Satisfaction: A Scoping Review of the Literature in Different Populations

The main purpose of this scoping literature review is to map empirical research concerning the satisfaction of road race participants, as well as what leads to their return and how events should be promoted and managed. The search was made on EBSCO, Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, Web of Science online database for studies between 2000 and 2020 using the following as keywords: “road race”, “marathon”, “running event”, “running”, “satisfaction”, “event loyalty”, “consumer behaviour”, “marketing”, and “communication”. After applying the inclusion criteria, 32 studies were selected. The descriptive analysis showed that satisfaction with the event depends on the quality of service provided, the image of the event, satisfaction with personal performance, perceived economic value, and disconfirmation of expectation, while the intention to revisit is largely affected by satisfaction with the event in different populations. In addition, various market segmentations are obtained according to the age and the gender, as well as important management and marketing information. The conclusions of this review can contribute to a better management and organization of road racing events around the world.

Early community recommendations for sustainable mega-events: evidence from the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games

Recommendations are a high form of community consultation, but rarely solicited in surveys of resident attitudes despite their potential to better inform planning and foster stronger event loyalty in an era of mega-event crisis. This paper innovates by identifying and structuring open-ended recommendations for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games from host region residents 10 years prior to that mega-event. From an online survey of 897 respondents, 946 discrete recommendations for event “success” were organised through thematic analysis into high level “event,” “community” and “organiser” themes. In the emergent community vision for the Games derived from these themes, host city residents aspire for efficient, affordable, and authentic Games that benefit and involve the host community and learn from the past. The vision’s focus on resident self-interest is unsurprising but challenges event organisers to accommodate the interests of multiple stakeholders. The aspiration for a sustainable community, nevertheless, is conducive to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and complements recent IOC reforms and the official 2032 Games Vision which call for greater responsiveness to host community interests. Under a framework of soft transformative governance, facilitating micro-transformations should ensure that marginalised groups are heard and their aspirations integrated into early mega-event planning.

A study of event brand image, destination image, event, and destination loyalty among international sport tourists

ABSTRACT Research questions Sport management researchers have utilized the concept of brand image to understand sport consumers’ experiences. However, this concept has rarely been applied in a participatory sport event context. In this study, we proposed a conceptual framework of event brand image for distance running events, and explored how international sport tourists’ perceived event brand image generates event and destination loyalty. Research methods The data of the study were collected from international participants (N = 441) of 36th Reykjavik Marathon in 2019. Of the respondents, 52.6% were male, 73.3% aged between 30 and 59 years old, and 84.6% held a bachelor’s degree or higher. Most of the respondents (91.2%) came from Europe and North America. A behavioral profile revealed that 48.4% of respondents ran the full marathon, 36.3% the half marathon, 13.9% the 10 km, and 1.5% the 3 km. Results and findings The results indicate that three attributes (i.e. course, organization, and atmosphere) and two benefits (i.e. achievement and escape) were positively associated with participants’ event attitude. Event attitude was directly positively associated with event loyalty, destination image, and destination loyalty. Finally, destination image mediated the relationships between event attitude and event loyalty, and between event attitude and destination loyalty. Implications This study contributes to the literature by applying a conceptual framework of brand image in a participatory sport event context, and identifying the mediating role of the destination image.

The determinants of festival participants' event loyalty: a focus on millennial participants

PurposeThis study aims to determine how different event quality dimensions (i.e. information availability, program content, food, staff service, merchandises, ticketing, facility and convenience) individually affect the satisfaction of millennial festival participants, and how their satisfaction subsequently influence their behavioral intention.Design/methodology/approachThe research hypotheses were tested with a sample of 272 millennial participants attending the Borneo Jazz Festival held in Miri, Sarawak.FindingsThe results indicated that program content and facility are crucial predictors of millennial participants' level of satisfaction with the event. Furthermore, the level of satisfaction would, in turn, affect their intention to revisit the event and spread positive word-of-mouth.Research limitations/implicationsThe results are expected to assist festival planners in managing and designing festivals that can appeal to millennials who make up a significant percentage of tourism market.Originality/valueThe study adds to the knowledge of how music festival environment can yield loyalty amongst millennial festival participants in Sarawak, an Eastern state of Malaysia on the island of Borneo.

An expanded eventscape framework as the driver of attachment and loyalty to mass-participation sporting events

Mass-participation sporting events (MPSEs), or large-scale participation events, have been growing rapidly in the last two decades and have been increasingly viewed as a tourism phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of expanded eventscape on attendees’ attachment and loyalty to a long-distance running event. Survey data were collected from 466 respondents at Haikou Marathon in Hainan Island, China. The study found that physical eventscape is positively correlated with social eventscape and both are the precursors of event dependence and event identity of mass-participation running events. Furthermore, social eventscape has a far greater impact on event dependence. While both event dependence and event identity influence participants’ loyalty, event dependence has a greater impact on runners’ loyalty. this study offers practical implications for management and marketing of mass-participation sporting events (MPSEs) by demonstrating a refined understanding of the dynamics among expanded eventscape, event attachment, and event loyalty.

Assessing the effect of organisational commitment on turnover intentions amongst Islamic bank employees

PurposeThe research aims to test the links amongst Meyer and Allen's three levels of organisational commitment and the commitment's effect on reducing turnover intentions for Islamic bank (IB) employees during the lockdown caused by coronavirus disease (COVID-19).Design/methodology/approachThe research follows a variable-centred approach. Primary data are collected through a survey of 324 respondents comprising IB employees from three Arab countries, notably the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Lebanon and Oman. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and Cronbach's alpha test are conducted to test the construct validity, reliability and internal consistency of collected data. Descriptive statistics are used to interpret the data. Zero-order correlations, multiple regression analysis and Fisher's Z-test are applied to assess the interrelations of the various groups of variables and the determinants of turnover intentions.FindingsResults show that there is a high level of significant intercorrelation amongst affective, normative and continuance commitments as well as amongst organisational commitment, individual differences and turnover intentions for IB employees from the three studied Arab countries. The results confirmed that turnover intentions are minimised in the presence of all three organisational commitment subscales and that individual differences amongst IB employees and organisational efficiency moderate the relationship between organisational commitment and turnover intentions.Originality/valueThere is no empirical work that has been done on the determinants of turnover intentions amongst IB employees during the lockdown. This is valuable to organisational behaviour scholars and practitioners who are interested in the role that organisational commitment plays in IB's employment behaviour.

Hold your horses! A typology of endurance horse-riding participants

ABSTRACT Rationale: Limited research is available on endurance horse riding participants. Purpose: This research identified different segments of these niche participants. Methods: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to participants during an international endurance ride held in South Africa. Based on convenience sampling, a total of 116 completed questionnaires were obtained. Five motives to participate in the race (race, challenge, intrinsic, equine performance and event experience achievement) and four behavioural involvement pursuits (passive equine pursuits, event loyalty pursuits, active equine pursuits, and health and fitness pursuits) were identified. Based on these factors, three distinct endurance horse riding participant segments were identified: Equine achievers, Equine pursuers, and Equine challengers. Findings: The findings confirm that endurance sport participants cannot be regarded as homogenous. Contributions: Endurance horse riding events can be seen as a means to facilitate and encourage additional behavioural involvement pursuits that help expand the endurance horse-riding industry in South Africa.

Influencing Active Sport Tourists' Loyalty to Event and Destination

The value for an active sport tourist is directly embedded in the cocreation of his/her experience with the event and the destination. This study argues that individual travel resources enable an active sport tourist to create value with the event organization and, through flow-on tourism, the destination provider. The study explores the impact of the active sport tourists' travel resources on the cocreation of the event experience by testing whether they influence the event and/or the destination loyalty. Understanding these interrelationships is imperative, as the active sport tourists' loyalty can help achieve a competitive advantage for the event and the destination service providers. A survey of 649 active sport tourists was conducted. The results indicated that sport event attributes played a role in the creation of the active sport tourists' experiences through sharing and integrating of their travel resources. The findings also showed that the event loyalty of active sport tourists enhances their destination loyalty. The study suggests that destination marketers should exploit the sport event by bundling destination attributes that extend opportunities for cocreation that may lead to lengthened stays and more spending at the event destination.

The Moderating Effect of Effective Commitment among the Psychological Empowerment Dimensions and Organizational Performance of Thailand Pharmaceutical Industry

For the long-term survival, the performance is very important part of the organization. If the performance could not maintain the organization, then the development could be minimized. There are various factors that could enhance performance. Among several factors, psychological empowerment (PE) and effective commitment (EC) are very important factors that could help to create effective increase in organizational performance (OP). In line with this, the current study aim is to configure the moderating effect off EC among the PE dimensions and OP of Thailand pharmaceutical sector. The data was collected from the employees that were working in the pharmaceutical sector. The Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) results had indicated that enriched understanding of jobs task (EUJT) has a relationship that is positively and significantly associated with the organizational performance (OP). In the same vein, level of self-determination (LSD) had also an association with the OP that is positive and significantly associated with the OP. In contrast, overall impact on department (OIOD) has not any association with OP. While, indirect effect had shown that effective commitment (EC) is significantly moderating among two exogenous variables namely, EUJT, LSD and OP. Conversely, the OIOD did not moderated by EC. The above discussed findings could add a body of knowledge in previous literature that could provide help to increase the new insights for further research.

LOYALTY TRENDS AND ISSUES IN TOURISM RESEARCH

Purpose – Loyalty, a behavioural pattern of guests, is an unpredictable phenomenon, changeable over time, adaptable to market trends and measurable only through market research. Previous research has confirmed that loyalty is not an isolated variable described only through loyalty behaviour or loyalty attitude, but rather it is interdependent on both behaviour and attitude. However, within loyalty research there are many open questions, which need to be addressed by researchers in the field of tourism and hospitality. Thus, this paper provides a unique perspective on previous research, including loyalty taxonomy, loyalty constructs, and directly and indirectly connected variables to loyalty in research models. Design – Upon content analysis and refinement, four clusters are determined and explained in the paper: (1) destination loyalty; (2) hotel (brand) loyalty; (3) loyalty programme; (4) event (festival) loyalty. Methodology – For the purpose of this paper, the authors applied content analysis. Based on a keyword search on the Web of Science platform (database Web of Science Core Collection), 112 articles published in leading tourism and hospitality business journals were identified as relevant for the study. Findings – The study contributes to a better understanding of tourist loyalty research by identifying shortcomings of previous research. Among the most common shortcomings are selective research focus and uninventive research methodology. Therefore, the current study suggests multi-level loyalty model development as a more innovative framework for future research. Originality of the research – Since this study brings an overview of the four most commonly researched topics in tourism loyalty research, the results will be beneficial for scientists who study the broader aspects of the loyalty construct.

Destination vs event attributes: Enduring spectators’ loyalty

Endurance athletes need social and emotional support from family and friends, who act as spectators at the event in which they participate. Although spectators fulfill a supportive role, does their loyalty lie with the event, the event destination or a combination of both? The case study was the Ironman Triathlon hosted in South African cities. Questionnaires were distributed to spectators on the race days, and 748 completed questionnaires were obtained. Three factor analyses were performed on the spectators’ travel motives, perception of destination attributes and perception of sport event attributes. Linear regression analyses were performed with event loyalty as the dependent variable, whereas the remaining motives, dimensions and attributes were the independent variables. The results revealed that a combination of factors was statistically significant and that a different set of determinants were observed for the two events. The results revealed that sport event organizers and destination management organizations should make use of both the event and the host destination attributes as drawing cards and act with local tourism and travel organizations to offer spectators a reduced fee for tourism offerings at the destination.

Modeling attributes of religious tourism: A study of Kumbh Mela, India

Extant literature on religious tourism has not extensively focused to demarcate the antecedents of tourist satisfaction and its impact on their event loyalty. This paucity of information has led the present study to develop an integrated framework that postulates the complex relationship among five latent attributes namely motivation, service quality, safety, satisfaction and event loyalty. To evaluate these attributes, survey was done in the Mela area and data was collected using structured questionnaire. A random sampling technique is followed for data collection, and 2326 samples are considered for final analysis. The hypothesized relationships were tested by considering the case study of Kumbh Mela held at Ujjain, India in 2016. Factor analysis followed by structural equation modeling (SEM) technique is used to examine these hypothesized relationships. The results obtained from SEM signifies that given the perceived motivation, service quality and safety levels are fulfilled, pilgrims in a religious gathering are more likely to feel satisfied with their visit and presumably show a positive intent to revisit or recommend others to experience Kumbh Mela. The empirical findings provide essential insights regarding enriching visitor’s experience; which can be of interest to event managers and planners of such mega religious gathering.

Understanding the Adventure Sportscape's Impact on Consumers' Destination Image and Event Conative Loyalty

Due to increased evidence of sport's ability to impact local economies, the purpose of this study was to examine how aesthetic, technical, and functional "sportscape" qualities influence adventure sport athletes' perceptions of the event, as well as the host destination. Data were collected from 341 athletes competing in adventure sport events throughout the 2016 summer season in two mountainous regions located in the US. Competitions under study included trail running, triathlons, mountain biking, open water swimming, and paddling events. Confirmatory factor analysis was able to confirm the content validity of the scale, providing practitioners and scholars alike with future means of measuring adventure sport facets that are most salient and effective in explaining competitors' sport tourism hedonistic outcomes. Further, structural equation modeling was able to explain causal relationships between the adventure sportscape constructs and nonlocal participants' destination image and event loyalty. Specifically, the model provides evidence that an event's atmosphere, extension events, and novelty characteristics are instrumental in fostering memorable sport tourism experiences. Results and implications extend previous sportscape research that has focused predominately on sport specatators.
