Effects of tailoring ingredients in auditory persuasive health messages on fruit and vegetable intake

Objective: Health messages can be tailored by applying different tailoring ingredients, among which personalisation, feedback and adaptation. This experiment investigated the separate effects of these tailoring ingredients on behaviour in auditory health persuasion. Furthermore, the moderating effect of self-efficacy was assessed.Design: The between-participants design consisted of four conditions. A generic health message served as a control condition; personalisation was applied using the recipient’s first name, feedback was given on the personal state, or the message was adapted to the recipient’s value.Main outcome measures: The study consisted of a pre-test questionnaire (measuring fruit and vegetable intake and perceived difficulty of performing these behaviours, indicating self-efficacy), exposure to the auditory message and a follow-up questionnaire measuring fruit and vegetable intake two weeks after message exposure (n = 112).Results: ANCOVAs showed no main effect of condition on either fruit or vegetable intake, but a moderation was found on vegetable intake: When self-efficacy was low, vegetable intake was higher after listening to the personalisation message. No significant differences between the conditions were found when self-efficacy was high.Conclusion: Individuals with low self-efficacy seemed to benefit from incorporating personalisation, but only regarding vegetable consumption. This finding warrants further investigation in tailoring research.

우리나라 기업의 상당수를 차지하는 가족기업에서 형제들 간 승계권 다툼과 후계자들의 종업원들에 대한 부당한 대우는 사회적 논란을 불러일으켜 왔고 이는 가업승계에도 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있음은 자명하다. 이런 상황에서 성공적인 가업승계를 위한 여러 선행 연구가 진행되었고 그 중 후계자의 승계의지는 성공적인 승계에 중요한 요소임을 확인되었다. 한편 선행연구에서 후계자의 승계의지는 승계태도에 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났기에 본 연구에서는 승계태도에 영향을 미치는 후계자의 기업가적 자본이 무엇인지 확인해 보고자 한다. 본 연구를 진행하기 위해 가족기업 후계자를 선정하여 비(확률)표본추출법을 이용하여 설문을 수집하였다. 8개월간 진행된 자료수집을 통해 총 87부가 회수된 가운데 73개의 유효한 자료를 확보하였고, SPSS를 활용한 회귀분석 그리고 Hayes의 Process Model을 활용한 간접효과 검정을 실시하였다. 연구결과 가족기업 후계자의 인적 네트워크로 대표되는 사회적 자본은 승계자기효능감과 승계태도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 사회적 자본이 승계태도에 영향을 미치는 가운데 승계자기효능감의 매개효과 역시 유의함이 확인되었다. 한편 후계자가 바라보는 자사 종업원의 역량인 인적자본은 후계자의 승계태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미친 것으로 확인되지만 인적자본은 후계자의 승계자기효능감에 영향을 미치지 못한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 가족기업의 성공적인 승계를 위해 중요한 요소로 확인된 승계의지에 영향을 미치는 후계자의 승계태도를 대상으로, 그 영향요인인 후계자의 기업가적 자본을 확인하고자했다는데 의의가 있다. 즉 후계자의 인적 네트워크라는 사회적 자본과 자사 종업원의 역량이라는 인적 자본은 승계태도에 영향을 지치고 있다는 점을 실증 검정했다. 또한 인적 자본이 후계자가 승계하고자 하는 자신감, 만족감 등으로 설명될 수 있는 승계자기효능감에는 영향을 미치지 않음을 볼 때 후계자의 종업원에 대한 인식수준을 확인할 수 있었다.

The Relationship Between Emotional Dependence on Facebook and Psychological Well-Being in Adolescents Aged 13–16

In most countries, Facebook is one of the top social networking sites among children and adolescents. Several studies have investigated the effect of Facebook dependency on individuals’ psychological well-being. However, inadequate studies have examined the impacts of Facebook in eudaimonic well-being. The current study explores how emotional dependence on Facebook relates to psychological well-being in eudaimonic approach. A total of 401, 13 to 16 yearsold who studied at an upper secondary school in Malaysia participated in this study. We expected a negative association between emotional dependence on Facebook and psychological wellbeing. The moderation effect of self-efficacy was examined in the current research. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that emotional dependence on Facebook negatively effects adolescents’ overall psychological well-being. The influence was more pronounced on autonomy, purpose in life, and positive relationship with others. The results also demonstrated that high self-efficacy did not reduce negative impacts of Facebook emotional dependence on adolescents’ psychological well-being.

Improving travel decision support satisfaction with smart tourism technologies: A framework of tourist elaboration likelihood and self-efficacy

Information technology-supported tourism services and platforms have made it easier for individual travelers to plan and manage their trips. But with smart tourism, a number of human-computer interaction issues, such as the decision support in the context of tourists' information processing, have surfaced. This study investigates the impact of the important smart tourism technology (STT) characteristics on travel decision support satisfaction and the moderating effects of self-efficacy on the main relationships. We adopted the elaboration likelihood model as an overarching theory to develop our hypotheses that revolve around both the central route and peripheral routes in the elaborated process, and tested the model with survey data collected from South Korea. The findings illustrate that STT characteristics of information quality, source credibility, interactivity, and accessibility have a positive influence on travel decision support satisfaction. Self-efficacy toward STT use was found to have a positive moderating impact on a hypothesized central route but negative moderating influence on three peripheral routes. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications of this study are discussed.

Relationship between Entrepreneurial Motivation and Entrepreneurial Intention in Physical Education Major: Moderating Effect of Self-Efficacy and Social Context

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderation effect of self-efficacy and social context on the relationship between entrepreneurial motivation (push and pull) and entrepreneurial intention. The participants were sampled from six physical education (PE) departments in north Taiwan (N = 330). The experimental instrument was comprised of 4 scales concerning entrepreneurial motivation, entrepreneurial intention, self-efficacy, and social context. The questionnaires from participants were collected from September to November, 2014. The data were analyzed using hierarchical regression. The results showed that: (1) Entrepreneurial motivation (push, pull) was positively influenced the entrepreneurial intention, and pull motivation was higher than push motivation. (2) Self-efficacy weakened the relationship between entrepreneurial motivation and intention. (3) Social context strengthened the relationship between push motivation and entrepreneurial intention. We concluded that: (1) Entrepreneurial motivation was positively related to the entrepreneurial intention. For PE major' entrepreneurial intention, the influence of intrinsic entrepreneurial motivation was higher than the external entrepreneurial motivation. (2) In higher entrepreneurial motivation of PE major, having higher self-efficacy, having lower entrepreneurial intention than others. (3) For those PE major with higher entrepreneurial motivation, investing more efforts to develop social context, had higher entrepreneurial intention than others. We suggest that: (1) The entrepreneurship concept and materials should be concluded in their teaching curriculum to strengthen PE major' entrepreneurial motivation. (2) For the PE major with higher entrepreneurial motivation but having less self-efficacy, school can hire the teachers having entrepreneurial experiences and construct entrepreneurial support platform to develop and promoter PE major systematically. (3) The PE major with higher entrepreneurial intention should develop official and non-official social context simultaneously to promote higher entrepreneurial intention.

A Study on the Factors that Affect the Enterpreneurial Intention of Pre-Entrepreneurs: Focusing on the Moderating Effect of Self-Efficacy

Background/Objectives: The present study performed a positive analysis on the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention with a focus on the moderating effect of self-efficacy by pre-entrepreneurs including university students and nascent entrepreneurs. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The present used Smart PLS 2.0 to verify the selected model. PLS analysis requires verification of measurement questions and constructs. Moreover the PLS method was used a suitable manner in the early stage of development of a theory that has not been verified. It is because this study has the strong nature of an exploratory study. Findings: As a study on the influence on the entrepreneurial intention of pre-entrepreneurs, the present study positively analyzed the relationship between locus of control educational factors and organizational factors, and the mediating role of self-efficacy, by using self-efficacy as a moderating variable. As a result of hypothesis verification, hypothesis 1, which claims that locus of control positively affects entrepreneurial intention, is adopted, along with hypotheses 2 and 3 which claim that educational and organizational factors positively affect entrepreneurial intention. However, the analysis of the moderating effect of self-efficacy against each factor revealed no such effect, so hypotheses was rejected. Application/Improvements: In this study, it is expected to systematically develop and apply programs for entrepreneurial candidates in terms of start-up by looking at the underlying reasons for university students to fail o the start-up.

철도기관사의 사고경험이 일의 부정적 전이에 미치는 영향 : 공포불안 정서의 매개효과와 자기효능감의 조절효과

This study highlights empirically the relationship among major constructs such as accident, fear and anxiety emotion, self-efficacy, and negative spillover of work, focused on the railway drivers. The differentiated factor of this study is in that the experience of accident was posed as exogenous variable. Hypothesis tests based on 201 samples verified that the experience of accidents showed a significant effect on negative spillover of work mediated by fear and anxiety, with moderating effect of self-efficacy between fear and anxiety and negative spillover of work. However, the moderating effect was shown as increasing the degree of negative spillover of work, since the drivers recognized their fear and anxiety accrued by accident experience as uncontrollable. This finding suggests the need for mitigating driver's negative emotion - fear and anxiety - through an introduction of practice such as exemption of settlement obligation in accident site and lowering of the penalty for accident responsibility.

A study of mobile banking usage in Iran

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore barriers, the mediating role of usability and the moderating effects of self-efficacy and perceived image on consumers’ attitudes toward use of mobile banking (MB) in Iran.Design/methodology/approach– Based on the consumer data collected through a survey, structural equations modeling and path analysis were employed to test the research model.Findings– The results revealed that “system compatibility” was found to be the main factor affecting users’ attitudes toward use of MB. “Resistance” showed a significant negative effect on both ease of use and usefulness. “Perceived usefulness” mediated the relationship between ease of use and users’ attitudes. At last, contrary to self-efficacy which showed no significant effect, perceived image moderated the relationships between usefulness and attitude.Research limitations/implications– The sample was only composed of MB users and non-users were not studied.Originality/value– Past studies have seldom examined the role of individual drivers like self-efficacy and social drivers like perceived image as moderating variables in the context of developing countries.

The Effect of Information Literacy on Managerial Performance: The Mediating Role of Strategic Management Accounting and the Moderating Role of Self Efficacy

Abstract This study attempts to examine the mediating effect of Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) information usage on the relationship between information literacy and managerial performance, and the moderating effect of self efficacy on the relationship between strategic management accounting and managerial performance. Using multiple regression as analytical method, responses from 236 managers of Banking institutions in Pekanbaru, Indonesia were analyzed. The results of this study support the direct effect of information literacy, self efficacy and SMA information use on managerial performance. Further analysis of the mediating effect of SMA information usage suggests that SMA mediates the relationship between information literacy and managerial performance. The findings of this study also suggest that the effect of SMA information use on managerial performance is strengthened by self efficacy.

The Moderating Effects of Self-Efficacy on the Relationship Between Stress and Cigarette Smoking Behavior Among Adolescents in Kerman, Iran

This paper aims to examine the relationship between the individual factor of stress and cigarette smoking behavior and also determine the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between stress and cigarette smoking behavior among adolescents in Kerman, Iran. A quantitative research method was employed. The samples included three hundred current smoker adolescents between the ages of 15 to 18.

Coping with bullying and victimisation among preadolescents: the moderating effects of self-efficacy

Bullying and victimisation may result from ineffective coping with interpersonal stressors. However, little is known about the preadolescents who are most susceptible to dysfunctional coping styles. Self-efficacy beliefs may be one source of individual differences in coping among those involved in bullying and victimisation. The purpose of the present research was to examine whether links between bullying/victimisation and coping were moderated by self-efficacy beliefs. Participants were 262 Greek preadolescents who completed self-report assessments of bullying/victimisation, coping, and self-efficacy. Results indicated that self-efficacy moderated the association between bullying/victimisation and coping, in that greater use of ineffective coping (i.e., resignation, passive avoidance) predicted bullying and victimisation among preadolescents with moderate and low levels of social and emotional self-efficacy, whereas greater use of adaptive coping (i.e., positive self-instructions, social support) was reported by those with higher self-efficacy beliefs. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Presenteeism and health over time among Chinese employees: The moderating role of self-efficacy

The aim of this study was two-fold: first, to examine both the immediate and the lasting effects of presenteeism on health; second, to explore the moderating effect of self-efficacy on the presenteeism-health relationship in a Chinese context. We employed a two-wave study design in which presenteeism, health (i.e. physical health, mental health and exhaustion), and self-efficacy were assessed at Time 1; health was measured again at Time 2 three months later. We surveyed a diverse sample of 345 full-time Chinese employees working in Taiwan and mainland China. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that presenteeism over the previous six months was negatively related to employees' physical health, mental health and exhaustion at Time 1. However, we found no association between presenteeism and health at Time 2, after controlling for the baseline level of health, indicating that presenteeism may not have a lasting effect. Self-efficacy was found to moderate the relationships between presenteeism and all three aspects of health at Time 2, suggesting that for some individuals presenteeism may not on balance be a bad thing. The study sheds light on the association between presenteeism and health. The findings on self-efficacy also extend the literature to incorporate individual characteristics in the presenteeism context.
