Hedonic preference of airline passengers

The purpose of this study is to determine which airlines Davao City-bound and outbound passengers prefer. Passenger information was acquired via survey questionnaires employing the Likert scale. In this study, non-experimental quantitative research employing a casual research method was employed. Using descriptive and informal research methodologies, this study investigated whether demographic variables and airline service quality influence the airline service choices of Davao City passengers. This investigation employs artificial neural network research to determine which factors influence airline preference. The majority of air carrier respondents are between the ages of 21 and 35, are predominantly female, and are employed by private companies. The airline preferences of passengers are influenced by price, cabin services, flight schedule, safety, on-time performance, and employee conduct. Important airline demographics included age, occupation, and sex. Price is the most significant criterion when selecting an airline, followed by flight schedule, on-time performance, and employee conduct. Flights should offer discounts to students and senior citizens. They may adjust fares based on the findings. To attract a broader age range of customers, airlines should strategically organize their marketing and focus on specific market niches. To increase sales, airlines may consider offering discounted, low-cost, or one-peso fares during certain times. To assist time-sensitive travelers in reaching their destinations in the event of airline delays or cancellations, alternative flights are advised. To gain a deeper understanding of airline carrier selection, research should be extended, employing a larger sample or alternative statistical methods.

A Primer to Experimental and Nonexperimental Quantitative Research: The Example Case of Tobacco-Related Mouth Cancer

ObjectivesTo present a comprehensive overview of key constructs of experimental and nonexperimental quantitative research, drawing on one example case from cancer care. Data SourcesPublished scientific articles, research textbooks, and expert advice were used in this article. ConclusionQuantitative research turns information collected about people or about processes into numerical data. Depending on the underlying purpose, the goal is to address questions that have to do with intervention, prognosis, causation, association, description, or assessment. In experimental research, an intervention is manipulated. True experimental research (randomized controlled trial) controls confounding variables via use of both randomization and a control group; quasi-experimental research misses one or both of these elements. In either case, the aim is to generate evidence to confidently say that an intervention is the true cause of an observed outcome. Nonexperimental research is multifaceted. Cohorts and case-control studies can be used to test cause-and-effect relationships where experimental research is unethical or impractical. Correlational research aims to explore possible associations (exploratory) or help anticipate outcomes (predictive) and, quite often, is the precursor of experimental research. Descriptive research (simple, comparative, survey, retrospective chart review) can be used to describe and assess situations, conditions, or behaviors. Implications for Nursing PracticeUnderstanding the different aims and goals of the different types of quantitative research can help increase capacity and confidence in understanding, appraising, and applying quantitative evidence among health care students, professionals, and novice researchers in the quest for the provision of quality cancer care.

Study of Household Energy Consumption Pattern Due to Usage of Electronic Gadgets Before and During Pandemic

One key aspect of green computing is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are gases that trap heat in the earth's atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change. COVID-19 has introduced significant challenges to the energy industry. Potentially new practices and social forms developed during the pandemic have created an impact on energy demand and consumption. As there is an adverse effect on the global environment, it is time to improve the working habits of computer and business users. The aim of this study is to show the increased household energy consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the rapid rise in the purchase and usage of electronic gadgets in Indian households. Due to the widespread adoption of the "work from home" mentality by businesses even after the epidemic, it has been noted that this has persisted. The study utilized the non-experimental quantitative research design specifically, the survey method which employs a descriptive questionnaire to the respondents. Information was gathered through a survey of 101 families in the Indian state of Maharashtra's three districts, Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar. A supervised machine learning model called regression analysis is used to verify the predictions. Investigation reveals that energy consumption is not only dependent on age, area, number of people, and number of gadgets owned by people but on various other factors.

Trust and commitment: a comparative study of virtual team communication across industries

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate virtual team (VT) member’s perception of trust and commitment when using computer-mediated communication (CMC).Design/methodology/approachA nonexperimental quantitative research methodology was used to survey full-time employees in education, health care and telecommunications industries. Participants were on VTs using CMC. A factorial, between groups, multivariate analysis of variance was used to examine whether the mean scores of trust and commitment, as dependent variables, significantly differed between VT members across industries, that make up one of the independent variables (type of industry) using different CMC with the CMC methods being the second independent variable.FindingsWhen the variable of type of industry was held constant, CMC resulted in statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the linear variate of trust and commitment. However, when the variable of CMC was held constant, type of industry did not result in a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the linear variate of trust and commitment. Additionally, the interaction of the variables CMC and type of industry resulted in a statistically significant difference in the mean scores of the linear variate of trust and commitment.Originality/valueFindings suggest organizations should adopt best practices to maximize benefits of the visual component of VT communication. This study provides evidence to support a potential relationship between trust and visual CMC. Findings aid organizational leaders in evaluating communication tools, specifically for complex tasks requiring trust among members.
