The purpose of this study is to find out empirically the interest of accounting study program students in following the accounting profession education which is influenced by factors of perception of the accounting profession, education costs, perception of study period, career motivation and economic motivation. This type of survey uses a questionnaire. The type of data is primary data. The population of all students of the Accounting Study Program at PGRI Yogyakarta University is 500 students. The sample of this research is part of the population of 85 respondents. The technique used is purposive sampling. The analysis tool uses multiple linear regression analysis with a significant level of 5%, with hypothesis testing t test, F test, and coefficient of determination. (R2) This study shows that the interest of accounting study program students in following accounting profession education is not significantly influenced by accounting profession perception factors. While the cost of education, perception of study period, career motivation and economic motivation have a positive and significant effect on the interest of accounting study program students in following accounting profession education.

Politically-polarized perceptions of governmental autonomy-support impact internal motivations to comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines.

Compliance with health safety guidelines is essential during pandemics. However, political polarization in the U.S. is reducing compliance. We investigated how polarized perceptions of government leaders’ autonomy-support and enforcement policies impacted security and internally-motivated compliance with national (Study 1a) and state (Study 1b) safety guidelines. We surveyed 773 Republicans and Democrats from four states (California, Florida, New York, Texas) during the first wave of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, participants perceived that the decision processes of opposing political administrations did not support their autonomy. Lack of autonomy-support was associated with reduced security and internal motivations to comply (R2 = 50.83%). When political administrations enforced health safety mandates (Democrat state leaders in this study) and were perceived as autonomy-supportive, participants reported the highest security and internally-motivated compliance (R2 = 49.57%). This effect was especially pronounced for Republicans, who reacted negatively to enforcement without autonomy-support. Political leaders who use fair and supportive decision-making processes may legitimize enforcement of health safety guidelines, improving compliance.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11031-022-09974-x.

Perception of brand value and motivation to collect second goods

This study aims to empirically examine the perceived value of a brand on the behavior of buying second goods and the motivation for buying behavior of second goods. Second-hand goods or used goods are goods that are not used or are no longer needed by the owner, but not all of these goods cannot be used anymore. Second goods become an alternative in getting cheap goods without reducing the usefulness and satisfaction of the type of goods needed. The majority of people state that there is no need to buy new goods if Second goods can still be used and are suitable for use. In this study, researchers distributed online questionnaires to 100 respondents, namely people who had bought secondhand goods, and then analyzed using the Multiple Regression analysis tools. The results showed that there was an influence of perception of brand value and motivation to collect variables on the decision to buy second-hand goods.
 

Sustainable Communication; Perceived Motivation and Nature of the Commitment

The aim of this study is to examine the overlap between sustainable communication and business, as well as its impact on the consumer’s perception and the nature of the motivation. We attempted to create a synthesis of prior research based on a literature review to understand how consumers comprehend corporate sustainability communications. The selection of the articles and related works is based on the presence of the keywords in the Science Direct database. The results provided us with 15 results for the research papers with “sustainable communication” in the title and 46 results with the keyword “sustainable communication” in the title, abstract or author-specified keywords since the year 2000. We synthesized these works and major works in the field according to our model, based on the attribution theory frame. We have emphasized the effect of sustainable communication fit with the company on the consumer’s perception of internal motivation by mobilizing the attribution and congruence theories, while highlighting the importance of the company’s perceived effort and the moderating role of other situational variables.

The impact of task-oriented leadership to subordinates' knowledge creation behavior – based on organismic integration theory

PurposeCompetitiveness of pharmaceutical companies hugely depends on new knowledge because of ever-changing technologies and forefront of knowledge. Leadership styles appear to influence knowledge management behavior, but there has been little empirical research on employees' knowledge creation behavior as an outcome of leadership. The study examines how task-oriented leadership affects subordinates' knowledge creation behavior. Based on organismic integration theory (OIT), the study proposes that perception of competitive climate and achievement motivation can conduct as mediators.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 877 full-time working employees in five pharmaceutical companies in China. Participants answered demographic questions and completed the task-oriented leadership, perception of competitive climate, achievement motivation, as well as knowledge creation behavior scale. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe results review that task-oriented leadership will significantly promote subordinates' knowledge creation behavior. Perception of competitive climate and achievement motivation play mediator roles between task-oriented leadership and subordinates knowledge creation behavior. Perception of competitive climate and achievement motivation have a serial mediating effect between task-oriented leadership and subordinates knowledge creation behavior.Practical implicationsBy adopting a task-oriented leadership style through training and development, leaders may stimulate employees more knowledge creation behaviors by transmitting the organization's vision, clarifying their work tasks and setting relatively high-performance standards. Then, organizations should establish a competition mechanism to promote competition among employees, while also preventing malicious competition. Finally, organizations should arouse employees' achievement motivation to stimulate their internal pursuit of success and needs.Originality/valueBecause of the improvement of information technology and the acceleration of knowledge dissemination, the need for new knowledge is becoming more and more urgent in organizations. Knowledge, as a resource that needs to be managed in an organizational environment, has regained researchers' attention. However, a flourishing number of studies explain the organizational knowledge management from the macro level, there is a need to explore how leaders influence their subordinates to create knowledge. From the perspective of extrinsic motivation internalization, this study’s findings contribute to the literature on task-oriented leadership and knowledge creation behavior and expand our understanding of why task-oriented leadership promotes subordinates' knowledge creation behavior.

Boredom, motivation, and perceptions of pain: Mechanisms to explain the effects of self-control exertion on subsequent physical performance

ObjectivesPrior self-control exertion has been shown to have a detrimental effect on subsequent physical performance. However, some potential underpinning mechanisms of the effect have yet to be examined. The present study explored whether exerting self-control reduces subsequent physical performance; and also examines the role of boredom, motivation, perceptions of pain, and sustained attention as mechanisms to explain these performance effects. MethodsIn a within-subjects order-balanced crossover design, 63 participants completed a self-control exertion task (incongruent Stroop) and non-self-control exertion task (congruent Stroop) for 4 min. Immediately after, participants completed a wall-sit task until volitional exhaustion. Task-specific boredom was measured following the Stroop task and following the wall-sit task. Participants’ perceptions of pain and motivation were measured every 30 s during the wall sit task. Upon completion of the wall-sit, participants completed a test of sustained attention. ResultsFollowing the self-control exertion task, participant’s wall-sit performance time was reduced (136 ± 62 s), compared to when they completed the non-self-control exertion task (144 ± 57 s, p = 0.05, d = 0.14). Participant’s task related boredom was significantly higher during the non-self-control exertion task (4.30 ± 1.23), compared to the self-control exertion task (3.82 ± 1.22) (p < 0.001, d = 0.39); but boredom was not different during the wall-sit task (p = 0.79). Prior self-control exertion also led to increased overall perceptions of pain (p = 0.02) and reduced overall (p = 0.01) and initial (p = 0.02) motivation during the wall-sit task. However, no differences in initial perceptions of pain (p = 0.16) or sustained attention (response time, p = 0.99; response accuracy, p = 0.78) were observed. Additional within-subjects mediation analysis revealed that differences in wall-sit performance time could not be explained by differences in task related boredom during the Stroop task, overall perceptions of pain, or overall and initial motivation (all p > 0.05). ConclusionsThe prior exertion of self-control resulted in a decrement in subsequent physical performance. Furthermore, individuals’ perceptions of task related boredom were higher during the non-self-control exertion (congruent Stroop) task, whilst overall perceptions of pain were higher, and initial and overall motivation were lower, following the self-control exertion (incongruent Stroop) task. However, mediation analysis revealed that these mechanisms did not explain the difference in wall sit performance time between the conditions.

Student teachers’ perceptions of motivation, independence, and supervision preferences: An exploratory study

The student teaching experience is one of the most impactful capstone experiences for the preparation of preservice teachers. The supervisor, either a cooperating teacher or university supervisor, plays a critically important role in the student teaching experience. The purpose of this study was to explore preservice teachers' perceived motivation and independence throughout their student teaching experience. It is recommended that early in the student teaching experience, a directive supervision style should be utilized. Then, as motivation starts to decline in the middle of the student teaching experience, the focus of supervision should shift to providing moral support and encouraging commitment to the profession of teaching. Recommendations for future research include replication of this study with future cohorts of student teachers across multiple institutions so data trends can be analyzed longitudinally. Additionally, it is recommended that future iterations of this study should administer a post-then version of the quantitative plotting instrument to control response shift bias.

Navigating the Feedback Paradox: Utilizing Feedback Preferences to Improve Feedback Reactions

The feedback paradox – the concept that negative feedback should be the most useful is also the kind most likely to be rejected. There is hot debate amongst researchers and practitioners around the utility of negative feedback due to it tendency to illicit negative reactions. Utilizing feedback preferences to influence feedback reactions is a gap in the literature that needs to be explored. An experimental study was conducted to test if utilizing feedback preferences could improve recipient reactions to negative feedback. Participants were given a choice between two types of feedback (diagnostic or normative) and the type of feedback received was manipulated to test if receiving feedback that matched their preference was able to improve recipients’ satisfaction, perceptions of accuracy and motivation to use the feedback. Feedback orientation was also explored as a moderator of the effect between matching feedback preferences to reactions. Results indicated that participants preferred diagnostic feedback, and that providing diagnostic feedback to a recipient who preferred that kind, did lead to increased perceptions of accuracy and motivation to use the feedback. Results provide insights for both practitioners and educators around feedback preferences how they can be potentially utilized to improve feedback processes in organizational and educational settings.

The Effects of Affective Trust and Suspicion in New Product Development Projects

Relationships between functional specialists working on NPD projects can lack trust, resulting in poor communication, low levels of co-operation, and, in the extreme, the political sabotage of projects. We empirically test a hypothesized model of managerial perceptions of motives and intentions, negative project politics, and affect-based trust, as well as their effect on dysfunctional conflict and defensive behaviors, with their subsequent effect on collaboration and NPD project success. Data were from 184 projects from the technically trained manager perspective, and 145 projects were from the marketing manager perspective. We find that, despite all of the NPD process improvement and use of integration methods, NPD managerial level interactions are still fundamentally relationally-based, where the strongest effects on cross-functional managerial behavior are from perceptions of negative motives, leading to defensive behaviors and politics interfering with collaboration and NPD success. On a positive note, while evident affect-based trust leads to collaboration and NPD success, it is far more important for technically trained managers. The implications for top management lie in structuring organizational processes that are trust-rich, in order to avoid the opportunity for distrust and suspicion to arise.

The Relationship Between Secondary School Teachers' Creativity and Job Satisfaction

This research aims to determine secondary school teachers' creativity and job satisfaction. For this purpose, a simple random sampling method was used in the study conducted with teachers working in secondary schools in Bağlar, Kayapınar, Sur, and Yenişehir districts of Diyarbakır province. The research used short forms of the "Minessota Job Satisfaction Scale" and the "Teacher Creativity Scale" as data collection tools. Teachers' perceptions about the sub-dimensions of job satisfaction and teacher creativity scales were described with arithmetic mean and standard deviation. Whether the job satisfaction levels of the teachers can be estimated from the creativity levels was tested by multiple regression analysis. According to the research findings, teachers have found themselves highly creative. In addition, the teachers expressed that they were satisfied with their work. Furthermore, it has been observed that teachers' job satisfaction levels can be estimated statistically from their expertise, creative thinking skills, and motivation perceptions. The relative importance of the predictive dimensions on job satisfaction is as follows; "motivation," "expertise," and "creative thinking skills."

A comparison of preservice teacher perceptions of instructor video and text-based feedback.

This experimental quantitative study investigated 48 preservice teachers from a Midwestern state and their perceptions of instructor feedback on a common assessment. Instructor feedback was provided on a program-wide lesson plan in traditional text-based format (N = 26) or digital video-based feedback (N = 22). Feedback competence was assessed using four categories: (1) student perceptions of instructor; (2) student perceptions of knowledge acquisition and learning; (3) student perceptions of personal involvement in the course; and (4) student perceptions of personal motivation. An independent samples t test found participants who received video-based feedback reported higher levels of perceived instructor effectiveness, skill development, intrinsic motivation, and preparedness to enter the profession. The findings moved the literature forward through the significant differences of effectiveness based upon type. Results can help demonstrate the continued need for more personalized feedback for preservice educators to meet course outcomes and improve teaching practices.

Stressors, Adaptive Coping Mechanisms, and Work Motivation of Public Elementary Teachers Amid Covid-19 Pandemic: Basis for Personnel Management Program

Many people working in the education field are worried because of the epidemic, especially teachers in public schools who are now expected to continue providing instruction despite any obstacles. This study examined the stressors, coping mechanisms, and work motivation of public elementary teachers. Students' behavior, teacher's workload, time and resources, interpersonal relationship, recognition and well-being and protection were the five factors of teacher stress that were examined in this study. While the teacher's adaptive coping strategies in terms of physiological, psychological, social, and avoidance components were found. This study also looked at the sources of teacher's motivation in terms of the task itself, rewards, and remuneration, working conditions, and professional development. The respondents were the 420 public elementary school teachers in the Candelaria districts, Division of Quezon. Information was gathered via google form questionnaire and data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings reveal that the respondents felt stress in a "moderate" level. Among the six stressors, student behavior was the most powerful predictor of teacher stress. Teachers "often" employed all the suggested coping mechanisms to manage their stress during this health crisis, with psychological coping being the most frequently used. The work motivation of teachers showed that all indicators were "extremely important" in the efficient performance of their duties, with working conditions being a significant factor in improving teachers' work performance. Results also indicated a strong correlation between respondents' perceptions of stressors, coping strategies, and work motivation.

Cultural Dimensions and Motivations of Social Entrepreneurship Engagement

Social Entrepreneurship (S.E.) is an entrepreneurial activity that answers unsolved social problems (Austin et al., 2006). The study's primary purpose is to measure the perception of Nascent Social Entrepreneurs' motivations of Germak &amp; Robinsons (2013) and Hofstede's (2001) Cultural Dimensions in their engagement with social entrepreneurship. The participants of the study are the Nascent Social Entrepreneurs. They participated in the IGNITE Program of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship (CSE) of the University of San Carlos (USC), Global Social Benefits Institute (GSBI) of Miller Center, and Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Incorporated (RAFI). The data gathering was during the five (5) monthly workshop series; the researcher utilized a self-administered questionnaire derived from the scientific literature and pre-tested with Cronbach Alpha to determine the internal consistency of the constructs in the variables. Multiple Regression Analysis was used to predict the relationship between the cultural dimensions towards the motivation of Social Enterprise Engagement. The study found that only Femininity, High Tolerance for Risk, and Low Power Distance cultural backgrounds influence motivation toward Social Entrepreneurship Engagement.

Consumer responses toward LGBTQ+ diversity CSR: what differences do CSR levels and CSR fit make?

PurposeThis study investigated consumer responses to LGBTQ+ specific diversity CSR, taking into account different levels of CSR engagement and perceived CSR fit. Perceived motives were considered as a mediator in the process.Design/methodology/approachAn online experiment was conducted using real consumer samples (n = 376).FindingsAs companies actively demonstrate corporate values to promote LGBTQ+ human rights, consumers recognized that LGBTQ+ diversity CSR was being pursued out of altruistic motives for social good stemming from business ethics and morals. In addition, it was found that the more active the LGBTQ+ diversity CSR practice, the higher the evaluation of the company among consumers. Regarding CSR fit, perceived fit in LGBTQ+ diversity had a significant effect on both the consumer perception of CSR motive and the company evaluation. In addition to these direct impacts of CSR level and CSR fit, these two factors indirectly influenced corporate evaluation through perceived motivation and consequently affected purchase intention.Originality/valueDespite drastic changes in the legal and social environment related to LGBTQ+ diversity, there are few studies on how consumers will react when companies actively or passively participate in or hesitate and oppose CSR on LGBTQ+ diversity. By presenting empirical evidence of consumer response to LGBTQ+ CSR, this study provided business managers and public relations professionals with the insights they need to make informed decisions about the extent to which they engage in LGBTQ+ diversity CSR.

Quantifying high-speed running in rugby league: An insight into practitioner applications and perceptions

High-speed running has previously been documented as a popular metric among rugby league researchers. Researchers place importance on high-speed running due to its inclusion in assessing the demands of training and match-play to help prescribe accurate training loads and recovery methods. However, there is currently no information available as to how important rugby league practitioners perceive high-speed running to be and what methods are currently used by practitioners to quantify high-speed running. Furthermore, practitioners’ perceptions of specific benefits, barriers and motivations when selecting high-speed running methods are also currently limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide a current insight into the practice and perceptions of rugby league practitioners when quantifying high-speed running. This study surveyed practitioners working in the European Super League ( n = 12) and the Australasian National Rugby League ( n = 11). Ranking analysis established high-speed running to be the most important metric for both training practice and match-play. Absolute high-speed running thresholds were applied by 52% of respondents ( n = 12) with the most common being 5.5 m·s−1 ( n = 9). Individualised high-speed running thresholds were applied by 48% of respondents ( n = 11) with the most common approach implementing peak sprint speed methods ( n = 9). Absolute high-speed running thresholds are perceived to permit better group data comparison, whereas individualised methods are perceived to permit better interpretation of high-speed running data. Ultimately, practitioners are motivated to implement their chosen methods with the possibility of more accurately prescribed high-speed running thresholds, although the impracticality of specific testing procedures may act as a barrier.

Students' perceptions about the influence of educational games on achievement and motivation, a study based on the Flow Theory

Purpose: The present study analyzed the influence of educational games on the perceptions of motivation and achievement of students in an Accounting and Cost Analysis course at a university in the South of Brazil.&#x0D; Methodology: The students played a game followed by a questionnaire was applied to 32 (thirty-two) students. The applied game is called Space Race. The questionnaire applied was based on the Theory of Flow in order to capture the students' perceptions regarding the flow experience lived during the application of the game. The Flow Theory analyzes the mental state characterized by concentration and focus on an activity resulting in achievement and motivation, based on the balance between skills and the challenge faced. Quantitative data were treated using descriptive statistics and Kruskal-Wallis test.&#x0D; Results: The results showed that the students felt a flow experience, with the dimensions of Clarity of Objective and Feedback being the ones that most contributed to this result. Other results were that: i) Immediate feedback motivated students who were marking right answers, but frustrated those who were wrong, ii) The competition from the game generated different reactions of anxiety to motivation in the students, and iii) Problems with the connection with the internet while performing the game reveal a technological barrier.&#x0D; Study Contributions: The study contributes by: i) presenting the Flow Theory and its dimensions, a tool that can be used to measure student motivation and achievement; ii) when analyzing the students' perceptions regarding the application of an educational game; iii) by introducing a free game appropriate to the context of teaching in accounting.

THE EFFECT OF LEARNING DISCIPLINE AND E-LEARNING PERCEPTIONS TOWARD ON LEARNING MOTIVATION WITH EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT AS A MODERATE VARIABLE

Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic, which requires online methods without being able to meet face-to-face, impacts students, one of which is learning motivation. This impact can be seen from (1) not the maximum number of student attendance, (2) the tendency of students not to concentrate on learning from beginning to end, and (3) lack of understanding of the lecture material. This study aims to analyze the effect of learning Discipline and perceptions of e-learning learning on learning motivation with emotional quotient as a moderating variable. The research method used in this study is a causal associative method with a quantitative approach. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling from students actively participating in lectures at the 5th and 7th semesters of the Faculty of Economics, Merdeka University, Pasuruan, as many as 122 people, all of which were used as research samples. The results of testing the hypothesis that the Learning Discipline variable (X1) has a positive and significant effect on learning motivation (Y) by obtaining the original sample value of 0.263 and P Values of 0.002 &lt;0.05. E-Learning Learning Perception Variable (X 2 ) has a negative and insignificant effect on learning motivation (Y). V with the obtained original sample value of -0.125 and P Values of 0.059 &gt; 0.05. The Emotional Quotient (Z) variable significantly moderated the discipline variable on learning motivation (Y) with P Values of 0.000 &lt;0.05. The Emotional Quotient (Z) variable significantly moderated the E-Learning Learning Perception variable on learning motivation (Y) with P Values of 0.021 &lt;0.05. The emotional quotient (EQ) significantly moderates learning Discipline and E-Learning Learning Perceptions of Learning Motivation. Based on the above analysis, it can conclude that Learning Discipline has a positive and significant effect on learning motivation and E-Learning Learning Perceptions have a negative and insignificant effect on Learning Motivation
