Framework For Intention Research Articles

The Intentional Compassion Framework for school communities

Objective: This article offers a framework to guide schools in developing a compassionate culture. Using a social constructionist/critical perspective, five spheres of work are identified to help schools achieve this goal. Framing death, dying and bereavement from a health promoting perspective, they involve challenging current cultural perceptions, creating a culture of support, creating a grief-informed culture, establishing a culture of reflection and reflexivity, and developing a whole school plan. Setting: Eight rural primary school communities in central Victoria, Australia. Method: Constructivist grounded theory with interviews and analysis occurring concurrently, allowing categories to develop alongside new questions to explore participants’ thinking and priorities. Results: Participants’ insights, knowledge and priorities fostered understanding and led to the five strategies for change that underpin this framework. Conclusion: Study participants’ desire for a societal, cultural shift in how to understand death, dying and bereavement issues in school communities serves as an important foundation for change.

Factors Influencing Consumers’ Adoption of Wearable Technology: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Echoing the increasing availability of various kinds of wearable technologies in the marketplace, a growing body of literature has examined which factors are related to consumers’ adoption of wearable devices. While previous studies have applied several major theories to explain consumers’ adoption of wearable devices, some findings are inconsistent, and the understanding of the relationships between variables has been limited due to the lack of a comprehensive framework. By reviewing 36 empirical studies on adoption intention of wearable devices, we developed the comprehensive framework for adoption intention of wearable devices and conducted a meta-analysis in order to examine 24 pairwise relationships among 18 factors. The meta-analysis reveals that most of the key variables identified have significant effect sizes in their relations to attitude and adoption intention. Also, the moderation analysis shows that the effect sizes of relationships vary depending on the culture (i.e., Eastern culture versus Western culture). Together, the findings based on the comprehensive framework provide theoretical and practical implications for how consumers’ adoption of wearable devices can be facilitated.

Tracking precursors of entrepreneurial intention: the case of researchers involved in eco-label industry

This article is based on the adaptation of Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB) to build an entrepreneurial intention framework tailored to the specific context of researchers involved in eco-label industry, who can be perceived as nascent entrepreneurs. The entrepreneurial intention model is tested on a convenience sample of researchers involved in eco-label industry from a wide range of countries. The configurational effect of research experience, personal attitude, funding instruments and entrepreneurial education level is tested for causal condition related to entrepreneurial intention of 25 eco-label researchers. The qualitative approach of data reveals that research experience and personal attitude relate positively to entrepreneurial career intentions and that these relationships are mediated by entrepreneurial education level. A multi-sided online platform connecting innovators and potential investors is considered a suitable solution for funding respondents’ results of research and innovation activities. Stimulating entrepreneurial motivations and intentions may help researchers to better adapt to alternative career perspectives. Results of this study suggest several ways to stimulate entrepreneurial career choices among researchers involved in eco-label industry.

Enactivism and Normativity The Case of Aesthetic Gestures

Enactivist approaches claim that cognition arises through a dynamic interaction between an acting organism and its environment. An ongoing challenge for these approaches is the problem of accounting for normativity while avoiding overly reductionist outcomes. This article examines a few proposed solutions, including agent-environment dynamics, participatory sense-making, radical enactivism, the skilful intentionality framework, and enactivist cultural psychology. It argues that good examples of enacted normativity are gestures of appreciation/disapproval performed in the aesthetic domain. Both Wittgenstein and Dewey explore this issue and their ideas could be productively worked upon in an enactive account.

Impact of employee value proposition on employees’ intention to stay: moderating role of psychological contract and social identity

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the relationship between employee value proposition (EVP) and employees’ intention to stay and analyse how psychological contract and social identity moderate this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe study was conducted in Indian IT sector among a sample of 268 employees using criterion sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires which revealed employees’ perceptions of EVP, intention to stay, psychological contract and social identity.FindingsThe empirical results reveal that employees have greater intention to stay when their organisations deliver an EVP including development value, social value and economic value. Findings indicate that psychological contract positively strengthens the impact of EVP on employees’ intention to stay. Also, when employees strongly identify with their organisation’s image, they have higher intention to stay in presence of a strong EVP.Research limitations/implicationsConsistent with the existing literature, the paper contributes an integrative model of EVP based on social exchange process, moderated by social identity and psychological contract. As the study was limited to Indian IT sector, cross-sectional nature of data is a limitation for drawing inferences about the influence or causality in general.Practical implicationsThe study provides a new perspective to managers to develop an attractive EVP to gain employees’ increased intention to stay. Employers in IT sector may adopt this comprehensive model to strategise their value propositions.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a validated conceptual framework of EVP and intention to stay, tested for moderation effects by psychological contract and social identity. This moderation model based on social exchange adds value to employer branding literature.

Composing markets: A framework of intentionality in market-shaping

Successful market-shaping that leads to the creation, transformation, or maintenance of markets has primarily been conceptualized as resulting from the future-oriented intentions of single market actors. Scholars have paid less attention to other forms of intentions or combination of actors, despite their potential to also contribute to market-shaping. Therefore, this conceptual study draws on the philosophy of action and institutional theory to construct a broader definition of market-shaping and advance extant knowledge. The proposed framework of intentionality in market-shaping features two main dimensions: temporality (present or future orientation of intentions) and membership (individual actors or groups). It thus reveals four theoretically distinct forms of intention in market-shaping: conducting, choiring, practicing, and jamming, and outlines how the dynamic nature of intentions inform market-shaping activities. The paper concludes by offering theoretical and managerial implications and a research agenda.

A proposed framework for assessing the influence of internal corporate social responsibility belief on employee intention to job continuity

AbstractThis study develops a comprehensive conceptual framework and propositions that integrate the concept of internal corporate social responsibility (ICSR) belief with employee intention to job continuity for solving the existing problem of employee's job turnover. A careful examination of existing literature on the construct of ICSR facilitates the necessity for the development of a research framework consisting of several research propositions. An integrated conceptual framework of ICSR belief and employee intention to job continuity was constructed based on the existing conceptualization of corporate social responsibility and ICSR. In addition, this paper proposes a quantitative research method to obtain information about ICSR belief and employee intention to job continuity. Questionnaire instrument will be used to collect data from the employee. The paper also proposes partial least square structural equation modeling for the proposed study analysis. Finally, the conceptual framework provides a logical path for future studies. Theoretically, the effect of ICSR on employee's job engagement was found inconclusive and requires further academic deliberation. In this study, a total number of six propositions were developed to provide an opportunity for informed decision‐making that will enhance sustainable performance. The research framework and propositions were developed to cater for the need to improve management and employee relationship in the workplace to build a positive functional work environment that promotes valuable performance. This will also insight the global sustainable initiative pertaining to human resource management. Finally, completion of this study will have implications on local as well as the international labor development.

Bringing Forth Within: Enhabiting at the Intersection Between Enaction and Ecological Psychology.

Baggs and Chemero (2018) propose that certain tensions between enaction and ecological psychology arise due different interpretations about what is meant by the “environment.” In the enactive approach the emphasis is on the umwelt, which describes the environment as the “meaningful, lived surroundings of a given individual.” The ecological approach, on the other hand, emphasises what they refer to as the habitat “the environment as a set of resources for a typical, or ideal, member of a species.” By making this distinction, these authors claim they are able to retain the best of both the ecological and the enactive approaches. Herein I propose an account of the individuation of habits that straddles this distinction, what I call a compatabilist account. This is done in two parts. The first part teases out a host of compatibilities that exist between the enactive account as developed by Di Paolo et al. (2017) and the skilled intentionality framework as developed by Bruineberg and Rietveld (2014) and Rietveld and Kiverstein (2014). In part two these compatibilities are brought together with the that these compatibilities can be brought together with the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon to develop the notion of enhabiting. Enhabiting describes a set of ongoing processes by which an umwelt emerges from and is reproduced within the relationship between an embodied subject and their habitat. Thus, enhabiting points toward a point of intersection between enaction and ecological psychology. To enhabit is bring forth (to enact), within (to inhabit).

Levels and Norm-Development: A Phenomenological Approach to Enactive-Ecological Norms of Action and Perception.

The enactive approach and the skilled intentionality framework are two closely related forms of radical embodied cognition that nonetheless exhibit important differences. In this paper, I focus on a conceptual disparity regarding the normative character of action and perception. Whereas the skilled intentionality framework describes the norms of action and perception as the capacity of embodied agents to become attuned (i.e., skilled intentionality) to preestablished normative frameworks (i.e., situated normativity), the enactive approach describes the same phenomenon as the enactment of norms (i.e., as sense-making) at different levels of organization that go from individual biological agents to linguistic encounters. I will argue that although both accounts accurately recognize important features of the norms of action and perception, they also have significant shortcomings. Norm-attunement accurately sees normative, ecological frameworks as the necessary set of constraints for the existence of norms at play in sociocultural bodily practices, but it fails to acknowledge the temporal and open-ended character of these norms and frameworks. Norm-enactment, by contrast, acknowledges that norms of action and perception are temporally open-ended, but fails to explicitly recognize that environmental normative frameworks are necessary for the enactment and development of all sort of norms in the interactional domain of an agent-environment system. To overcome these problems, I propose an enactive-ecological approach to norms of action and perception. This approach consists in describing norm-enactment as a result of a developmental process I call norm-development. This process describes the enactment of norms from the background of ecological, normative frameworks. These frameworks are norms enacted in the past of the interactional history of the agent-environment system that remain open to new configurations (new norms) in the present. To clarify conceptually norm-development, I appeal to Merleau-Ponty’s descriptions of norms of perception, and more particularly to his concept of spatial levels. Like the enactive approach, Merleau-Ponty recognizes that perceptual norms emerge in the interactional history of the agent-environment system, but, like the skilled intentionality framework, he also posits that normative frameworks, that he calls levels, enable and constrain the emergence of perceptual norms and its development. Levels are therefore a phenomenological description of ecological normative frameworks that has been temporally constituted and that stay temporally open-ended as a fundamental requisite for the enactment and development of norms of action and perception.

Framework for measuring usage intention of digital coupons: a SPADM approach

ABSTRACT The coupon is one of the most popular methods of promotion. This study focuses on developing a comprehensive framework for measuring usage intention of digital coupons among moviegoers. The study adopted a step by step ‘S-P-A-D-M’ procedure for building a framework for usage intention of digital coupons by reviewing the extant literature and by interviewing domain experts. The framework highlights that intention to search, coupon proneness, and perceived coupon value are the key variables influencing the usage intention of digital coupons. Propositions have also been developed for each relationship. This study provides managerial guidelines to increase coupon redemption and identifies future agenda based on the proposed framework.

Psychological Intentions in Hadiths

The present study aims to shed light on psychological intentions in some prophetic hadiths and present practical models and realistic applications that reveal the aim behind Prophet Mohammed’s actions and speech. This study relied on a descriptive and deductive approach. It included three demands. The first demand provided a glimpse of the theoretical and conceptual framework of psychological intentions and their most important classifications. The second request tackled the history of Makassed thought in the Prophet’s hadiths. The third requirement dealt with the presentation of the physical, mental, and psychological intentions in Sunnah. The results revealed that The Islamic religion seeks to achieve happiness for the human being in this world and hereafter. This leads to the spread of both psychological and societal peace. Hence, religion should be employed in what came for it. The study also concluded that it is necessary to choose the noble prophetic traditions since it stipulates the psychological values ​​and methods to return to the right path which are the Qur’an and Sunnah in light of the prevalence of current mental illnesses. The study reached many physical, mental and psychological purposes through inferring them from the Prophet‘s noble hadiths.

The Influence of Green Brand Affect on Green Purchase Intentions: The Mediation Effects of Green Brand Associations and Green Brand Attitude.

This study investigates the impact of green brand affect on green purchase intentions and explores the mediation effects of green brand attitude and green brand associations by means of the structural equation model (SEM). There is no previous literature discussing the relationship between brand affect and purchase intentions from the perspective of green marketing. Therefore, this article establishes a green purchase intention framework to fill in the research gap. The research object of this study focuses on Taiwanese consumers who have the purchase experience of information and electronics products in Taiwan. A total of 1000 consumers were randomly selected and 365 valid responses were received. In addition, this research conducted an empirical study using a questionnaire survey and structural equation model (SEM) to verify the research framework. The results show that green brand affect has no direct influence on green purchase intentions. Besides, this study indicates that green brand associations and green brand attitude fully mediate the relationship between green brand affect and green purchase intentions. It implies that green brand affect indirectly influences green purchase intentions via green brand attitude and green brand associations. While companies tend to raise their customers’ green purchase intentions, they need to increase their green brand affect, green brand associations, and green brand attitude.

A study on users' willingness to accept mobility as a service based on UTAUT model

ABSTRACT MaaS has received highly anticipated from the field of transportation theory and practice in recent years. Many Chinese cities have also proposed plans to build MaaS systems and have begun to implement them. As a new type of travel service paradigm, user recognition, acceptance, and continued use are prerequisites for the survival and development of MaaS. Therefore, accurately identifying the key variables that affect user acceptance and grasping the user's requirements are important support to ensure the MaaS has been applying successfully. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology model (UTAUT), this study establishes an analysis framework of MaaS acceptance and intention. A small town with a very common use of cars in the suburbs of Shanghai was selected as the survey object, and the potential uses and requirements of MaaS for 314 households and 600 residents were collected. This study proposes five important strategies for the promotion and application of MaaS: 1. Strengthen publicity and promote the MaaS concept to be more easily understood and accepted. 2. Improve convenience in the manual and avoid cumbersome operations; 3. Grasp the users’ curiosity and the early adopters, and cultivate the approved user base. 4. Focus on improving user experience, maintaining MaaS reputation, rewarding users for sharing register invitations. 5. Strengthening the protection of user information and service stability of MaaS guarantee to eliminate user concerns. At the same time, different services can be launched for different groups. Such as providing customized MaaS travel packages for middle-aged, elderly people and minors; making more detailed tutorials for people without membership experience, inviting free experiences, etc.

Different stages of the e-service delivery system process: belief–attitude–intention framework

PurposeBased on social science theories of customer's action such as theory of planned behaviour, theory of reasoned action, and technology acceptance model, this paper adopts belief–attitude–intention model to study impact of perceived process-belief of different stages of e-service delivery system process (e-SDSP), i.e., searching process belief (SPB), agreement process belief (APB), fulfilment process belief (FPB) and after-sales service process belief (ASPB) on customer attitude and intention towards service providers. The study also focuses on the mediating effect of customer attitude on the relationship between process-beliefs of different stages of e-SDSP and their behavioural intention.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative method has been employed using data collected from 414 Indian e-retail customers. Structural equation modelling with bootstrap estimation is used to find the mediating effect of attitude.FindingsThe findings suggest that SPB and ASPB directly impact the customer attitude while APB and FPB directly impact the customer behavioural intention. The study also finds that customer attitude towards e-retailers fully mediates the effect of SPB and ASPB on the behavioural intention but there are no mediating effects for APB and FPB.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample used may not be generalizable for India, given its huge diversity and population. As the sample considers only Indian e-retail customers, this study may lack generalizability across countries.Originality/valueIn our knowledge, this study is the first step to conceptualize the process-oriented customer's perceived belief of different stages of e-SDSP and how these beliefs impact the customers' attitude and intention towards the e-retailers. The findings offer insight to managers on how they can create and cultivate customer happiness and positive behavioural intention by enhanced customer journey throughout the e-SDSP.

Connecting Social Capital, Cognitive Bias, and Entrepreneurial Intentions: About Gender Differences

This study combines the SC-E model and entrepreneurial bias research to formulate a “social capital-cognitive bias-entrepreneurial intentions framework,” and to discuss the differences between gender in the relationship among social capital, cognitive bias, and entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, it also explores the mediation effects of optimism and overconfidence. Structural equation modeling is used to examine the hypotheses on a sample of 511 students at a Taiwanese university. Empirical results show that neither bonding nor bridging social capital has a direct impact on entrepreneurial intentions. They also indicate that male students are more optimistic and have higher entrepreneurial intentions than females. Regarding the mediation effect, bridging social capital may evoke both optimism and overconfidence, but bonding social capital only affects optimism. Furthermore, optimism is the antecedent of overconfidence, and it creates another channel of the mediation effect.

COMMUNICATIVE STRATEGIES OF AGREEMENT AND DISAGREEMENT IN DIRECT COOPERATIVE RESPONSE INTENTIONALITY

The political and the economic situations of the modern world determine the urgency of the study of communicative behavior of communicators, especially in the sphere of political interaction. This area presents special interest from the point of view communicative strategies and tactics which are used by politicians and which directly influence success/failure of political communication. To achieve the desired effect in the process of communication, the communicator, driven by a certain pragmatic purpose, chooses the aim to ensure cooperative interaction and realizes this or that communicative strategy. The article deals with the communicative interaction between the participants of political debates, which is characterized by the fact that the candidates keep to the norms of cooperative behavior. The aim of the article is to study the communicative strategies of agreement and disagreement in the framework of direct cooperative response intentionality and to describe the tactics of expression of direct cooperative agreement and disagreement used by the participants of political debates to realize a certain strategy and to achieve the necessary pragmatic aims. According to the analysis of the texts of English political debates, the strategy of disagreement can be used by communicators along with the strategy of agreement within the framework of direct cooperative response intentionality. The strategies of agreement and disagreement prevail in political debates.
