Inclusivity in Advertising: A Typology Framework for Understanding Consumer Reactions

The promotion of diversity and inclusion in advertising has the potential to bring about positive change in society. Despite its importance, there has been limited research on consumer reactions to these initiatives, making it challenging to understand their complexities and nuances fully. To address this gap, this study employs a mixed-method approach, combining a typology of reactions to diversity and inclusion advertising (DIA) with qualitative interviews to provide a comprehensive framework for researchers and practitioners. Underpinned by social identity theory, this study segments individuals based on their attitudes and perceptions toward DIA and their level of belief congruence with the message. The resulting framework sheds light on the interplay among individual perceptions, execution considerations, and brand-related perceptions, highlighting the importance of understanding the attitudes of each segment. Critically, three of the four segments suffer from brand-related perceptions, be it a lack of authenticity or engagement or perceptions of selfish motives, making it imperative for practitioners to understand and address these challenges. Finally, we move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to DIA, offering a framework for practitioners, including tailored recommendations for each segment, enabling them to navigate the complex interplay among individual perceptions, execution considerations, and brand-related perceptions.

Teacher perceptions of student motivation and engagement: longitudinal associations with student outcomes

AbstractStudies have shown that teacher perceptions of student achievement influence teacher-student interactions, subsequently affecting student outcomes. However, teachers may also take note of and respond to the motivation and engagement of their students in a differential way, which could affect student outcomes as well. In the present study, we thus examined whether teacher perceptions of student motivation and engagement predict student achievement and self-reported motivation and engagement in reading and maths over several school years. Analysing longitudinal data from N = 2402 students and their teachers, we found that teacher perceptions of student motivation and engagement in Grade 5 were significantly related to student achievement in reading 1 year later and in maths 1, 2, and 3 years later. An association with student motivation and engagement was only found for maths 1 year later.

PROFESSIONAL PERSONALITY IDENTITY: THEORETICAL REVIEW OF MODERN RESEARCH

The development of professional identity should take into account self-development, which is directly related to professional development. Self-esteem is self-understanding and conscious assessment of one's own personality qualities, thoughts, words, and actions. Thus, self-esteem affects the effectiveness of one's own activities and the activities of other people, as well as overcoming difficulties in solving the set tasks. Mastering the structure of students' professional motivation and perception of motivation allows you to reasonably solve promotion problems, correctly navigate the choice of specialty, build a professional career, study remotely, and obtain the necessary knowledge for future work. In conditions of instability, this significantly affects the responsibility and desire to acquire education. The purpose of the article is to conduct a theoretical and methodological review of the state of development of the problem of the professional identity of personality. The phenomenon of "professional identity" is quite new in psychology, its purposeful study began at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, when it became a question of a person's professional self-determination and the aspect of the attitude of the greatest was aimed at abilities, and not at the acquisition of knowledge. The personality goes through many stages of development and, accordingly, changes, both physiological and valuable, understands his abilities and chooses his profession more than once, which enables the personality to develop throughout his life. Each of these stages of personality development brings its own skills and understanding, forming a stable image of professional identity, i.e. the individual identifies himself with the future professional activity, sometimes changing the chosen profession radically, and this leads to the acquisition of new skills, but the process itself knowledge of personality, in our opinion, the most important process, especially in the current difficult time, almost every person is faced with a radical review of both his life and his professional activity.

Web-based need-supportive parenting program to promote physical activity in secondary school students: a randomized controlled pilot trial

BackgroundCurrent global trend of insufficient physical activity (PA) among children and adolescents highlights the necessity of finding effective ways to promote PA in childhood. Self-determination theory (SDT) has demonstrated efficacy as a conceptual framework for developing interventions aimed at promoting diverse health behaviours. Parents have potential to influence children’s health behaviours to a great extent, which could be enhanced from an online, self-paced training to gain knowledge on how to support children’s intrinsic motivation towards particular health behaviour. In this pilot study, we developed and tested an online SDT-informed need-supportive training for parents, enabling them to interact with their children in a way to support their intrinsic motivation towards leisure-time physical activity.MethodsSixty eight students (Mage = 12.5 ± 0.72) and one parent for each child were randomly assigned to the 6-week intervention condition or control condition. Students completed psychological measures (i.e., perceptions of parents’ need-supportive behaviours, basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration, autonomous and controlled forms of motivation, as well as social cognition beliefs towards leisure-time PA) and self-reported PA pre-intervention, post-intervention, and one-month after the intervention. Repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted to test the effects of the intervention condition and time.ResultsWhile a statistically significant intervention effect on children’s leisure-time PA was not found, students in the intervention group reported higher, albeit marginal, perceptions of intrinsic motivation (F(2, 84) = 3.095, p = 0.050) and lower perceptions of introjected regulation (F(2, 88) = 3.107, p = 0.050) and autonomy frustration (F(2, 84) = 2.987, p = 0.056) at follow-up. Contrary to expectations, children in the control group demonstrated higher perceptions of intention (F(2, 84) = 4.838, p = 0.010) and effort (F(2, 80) = 3.473, p = 0.036) towards leisure-time physical activity at follow-up. No significant changes were found in perceptions of need-supportive behaviour from parents, attitude, and perceived behavioural control.ConclusionsOur pilot study highlights the importance of parental training and the potential for SDT-informed interventions to support children's intrinsic motivation towards physical activity. Further research is needed to test the intervention in other domains and combine interventions in several domains to have the highest impact.Trial registrationThis pilot study is part of preparation for the main study, prospectively registered in ISRCTN registry as ISRCTN78373974 (15.12.2022). The current stage of the main study is ‘recruiting’.

Perceived innovation-oriented human resource system and innovative work behavior: the chain mediating role of innovative culture and intrinsic motivation

PurposeThis study investigated the effect of individual perceptions of innovation-oriented human resource system (IHRS) on individual innovative work behavior (IWB) and how this effect is realized.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted an online questionnaire survey at three time points with 481 employees in three Chinese organizations. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships among the variables.FindingsPerceived IHRS was found to positively influence IWB, and this effect was sequentially mediated by individual perceptions of innovative culture and intrinsic motivation.Practical implicationsIn order to elicit IWB, HR systems should be constructed around the strategic objective of innovation. Moreover, there should be a match between IHRS and innovative culture to trigger intrinsic motivation and ultimately IWB.Originality/valueThis study examines the effect of perceptions of IHRS on individuals' IWBs; Moreover, it integrates organizational culture and individual motivation and finds a chain mediating role of individual perceptions of innovative culture and intrinsic motivation in the relationship between IHRS and IWB.

Faculty and Student Perceptions of Unauthorized Collaborations in the Preclinical Curriculum: Student or System Failure?

Unauthorized collaboration among medical students, including the unauthorized provision of assistance and sharing of curricular and assessment materials, is a reported problem. While many faculty view such sharing as academic dishonesty, students do not always perceive these behaviors as problematic. With the trend toward more small-group and team-based learning and the proliferation of resource-sharing and online study aids, collaboration and sharing may have become a student norm. This multi-institutional, qualitative study examined faculty and student perceptions of and student motivations for unauthorized collaboration. Using a constructivist approach, the authors conducted scenario-prompted semistructured interviews with faculty and students in the preclinical curriculum. Participants were asked to reflect on scenarios of unauthorized collaboration and discuss their perceptions of student motivation and the influence of personal or environmental factors. The authors performed inductive thematic analysis of the interview transcripts using open and axial coding followed by abstraction and synthesis of themes. Twenty-one faculty and 16 students across 3 institutions were interviewed in 2021. There was variation in perceptions among faculty and among students, but little variation between faculty and students. Both participant groups identified the same 3 areas of tension/themes: faculty/curriculum goals vs student goals, inherent character traits vs modifiable behavioral states, and student relationships with their peer group vs their relationships with the medical education system. Student behaviors were perceived to be influenced by their environment and motivated by the desire to help peers. Participants suggested cultivating trust between students and the education system, environmental interventions, and educating students about acceptable and unacceptable behaviors to prevent unauthorized collaboration. Given the various tensions and positive motivations behind unauthorized collaborations, institutions should consider explicitly preparing students to make thoughtful decisions when faced with competing priorities in addition to developing mitigation strategies that address the environment and its interactions with students.

Trajectories of early adolescents' perceptions of school motivation and effort during the pandemic in Perú: A four time point longitudinal observational study

In this longitudinal, observational study, following 883 adolescents (aged 11–15 years, grades 6th - 8th) we tracked changes in perceived school motivation and effort across four time points during the two years of remote education in Perú as a consequence of COVID-19 (retrospective reports before the pandemic, May 2020, July 2021, and November 2021). Compared to before the pandemic, levels of perceived school motivation and effort dropped sharply in May 2020 and continued to decrease across 2 years. Perceived school motivation was positively associated with perceived school effort at almost all time points. Furthermore, students with lower levels of perceived school motivation had a steeper decline in perceived school effort. In a subsample of 380 students in 8th grade, perceived school effort in July 2021 predicted objective math performance in November 2021. Our findings suggest that COVID-19 has further compounded decreases in subjective and objective indices of school engagement and performance that are typically observed in early adolescence. Our results from a large sample of low- to middle-class Peruvian adolescents highlight the experiences of youth in a country that had particularly long school closures, and that is under-represented in the literature.

The differential impact of substantive and symbolic CSR attribution on job satisfaction and turnover intention

AbstractEmployees have their own understandings of corporate social responsibility (CSR) motives. This study investigated whether employees' different perceptions of CSR motives, including substantive CSR attribution and symbolic CSR attribution, influence their work attitudes, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. Moreover, we explore the mediating role of person‐organization fit in the relationships among CSR attribution, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. We collected 687 responses for an overall response rate of 16%. The results of structural equation model (SEM) analyses show that substantive CSR attribution decreases employee turnover intention and that symbolic CSR attribution increases employee turnover intention. Based on these results, we provide relevant theoretical and managerial implications.

Flattery will get you somewhere, sometimes? The effect of flattery and hotel segments on a hotel guests' green behavior

AbstractConsidering the importance of the hotel guests' behavioral support for the hotels' green corporate social responsibility (CSR), this research examined the persuasive power of flattery in promoting guests' green behaviors. Study 1 revealed that a flattery message significantly increased the hotel guests' towel reuse intentions during their stay and this effect was mediated by their perceptions of the hotel's CSR motives. Study 2 further showed that a feeling of guilt served as another key mediator in the relationship between a flattery message and the guests' responses (i.e., perceived CSR motives, hotel image, attitudes toward a hotel, towel reuse intentions), which was moderated by hotel segment (economy vs. mid‐priced vs. luxury). This research provides meaningful insights into the understanding of the consumers' pro‐environmental decisions in the service consumption context and explains the underlying cognitive process. Moreover, this research offers an empirical message strategy by hotel segments to effectively promote the hotel guests' green behavior and achieve successful marketing outcomes.

Satisfaction with Service Quality and Re-treatment Intention according to Perception of Eyebrows and Motives for Semi-permanent Makeup Eyebrow Treatment

This study attempted to investigate people’s satisfaction with service quality and re-treatment intention according to the perception of eyebrows, semi-permanent makeup and motives for eyebrow treatment against those in their 20-50s or older, who had semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment before, and the results found the followings: In terms of eyebrow shape, ‘standard’ was the highest with 37.7%, followed by ‘straight (21.7%)’ and ‘angular (18.3%)’. When asked how much satisfied they are with their eyebrow shape, ‘not satisfied (2 points)’ was responded with 2.33 points in average. When asked what bothers them about their eyebrows, ‘loss of eyebrows (18.7%)’ was most responded, followed by ‘unsatisfying shape (18.5%)’. When asked if an eyebrow shape has an influence on their personal image, ‘4.52 points’ was observed in average, being positioned between ‘likely (4 points)’ and ‘very likely (5 points)’. Concerning the effects of the motives to get a semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment on satisfaction with service quality, ‘aesthetic interest’ and ‘pursuit of convenience’ revealed a positive influence with statistical significance. Regarding the effects of satisfaction with such service quality on re-treatment intention, ‘satisfaction with the process’ and ‘satisfaction with the results’ showed a positive influence with statistical significance. In addition, motives to get a semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment, satisfaction with service quality and re-treatment intention were very high with 3.84 points in average. In other words, the above results confirm that motives to get a semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment and satisfaction with service quality have a positive correlation with retreatment intention.

Relationship between the prostate cancer screening attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge levels of men working in a healthcare institution

Objective: The attitudes and knowledge level of individuals toward prostate cancer screening are important factors affecting participation in screening. This study aimed to determine the relationship between prostate cancer screening attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge levels of men working in a tertiary healthcare institution. Material and Methods: A total of 236 healthcare personnel working in a tertiary education and research hospital were included in the study. In the collection of data, an information form, the Health Beliefs Model Scale for Prostate Cancer Screenings (HBM-PCS), and the Knowledge About Prostate Cancer Screening Questionnaire (KPCSQ) were used. Results: The mean age of the men participating in the study was 46.7±5.9 years. Of the participants, 16.1% had previously undergone a prostate-specific antigen test, and 67.4% had a low level of knowledge. When the subscales of HBM-PCS were examined, the participants had a mean score of 12.6±3.8 on susceptibility perception, 11.9±3.6 on seriousness perception, 32.9±7.6 on health motivation perception, 38.5±10.3 on barrier perception, and 24.8±5.7 on benefit perception. There was no significant difference in the participants’ HBM-PCS scores according to their KPCSQ scores. Conclusion: It was determined that the men participating in this study had a low level of knowledge, moderate levels of susceptibility, seriousness, and barrier perceptions, and high levels of health motivation and benefit perceptions concerning prostate cancer screening. It is important to raise the awareness of healthcare workers about the benefits of screening and early diagnosis of prostate cancer through training programs. Keywords: prostate cancer, screening, attitude, belief, knowledge level

Apakah Promosi Islami dan Hedonic Shopping Motivation Mempengaruhi Perilaku Impulsive Buying Generasi Z?

The emergence of Muslim fashion in Banyuwangi can be attributed to the inclination of the Z generation to utilize e-commerce platforms for fashion shopping, hence promoting impulsive purchasing behavior. The current study aims to examine how the perception of Islamic promotion and hedonic shopping motives influence impulse purchases, with happy emotions serving as mediators in the context of Muslim fashion products. This study focuses on clients belonging to Generation Z in Banyuwangi Regency who have made purchases using e-commerce platforms. This study employs a quantitative research design with an explanatory approach. It has a sample size of 100 participants selected using purposive sampling methods. The survey results obtained through an online questionnaire with a Likert scale were subsequently analyzed using path analysis in SPSS. The findings of this study indicate that employing Islamic advertising and hedonic impacts can enhance consumers' favorable emotions towards Muslim fashion products via e-commerce. Furthermore, the indirect impact of favorable emotions serves as a mediator for the effect of of islamic promotion on impulsive purchasing. However, it is important to note that various good emotions do not mediate the relationship between hedonic shopping incentive and impulsive purchase.

Pharmacy Students' Perceptions of Remote versus Face-to-Face Learning Experience.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a large shift from face-to-face (FTF) to remote learning. Evaluating students' perceptions of remote learning provides educators with opportunity to inform their instructional methods. This study sought to evaluate pharmacy students' self-perceived (1) confidence, (2) preparedness, (3) satisfaction, and (4) motivation following remote vs. FTF classes. An electronic survey was distributed to six pharmacy student cohorts enrolled in the University of Findlay College of Pharmacy during April 2021 to measure the objectives. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and Spearman's rank correlation tests were used to analyze the data (alpha = 0.05). A total of 151 students completed the survey. While the responses differed among the cohorts, first-professional year students reported lower motivation to study (p = 0.008), engage (p = 0.008), satisfaction with content presentation (p = 0.05), preparedness for exams (p < 0.001), and confidence to communicate (p = 0.008) and succeed in a career (p < 0.001) when studying remotely vs. taking FTF classes compared to fourth-professional year students. Positive correlations were observed between students who felt motivated to engage and study (ρ = 0.501, p < 0.001), motivated to study and exam preparedness (ρ = 0.511, p < 0.001), satisfied with course material presentation and professor accessibility (ρ = 0.688, p < 0.001), and exam preparedness (ρ = 0.521, p < 0.001), and felt prepared for exams and able to succeed in a pharmacy career (ρ = 0.573, p < 0.001). Taking the above results into consideration, pharmacy educators may designate more time and instructional support to first-professional year students in an effort to improve students' perceptions of motivation, satisfaction, confidence, and preparedness.

Moderating Effect of Demographic Factors on the Relationship Between Work Motivation and Employee Retention of Gen Z

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the variations in work motivation and Gen Z employee retention concerning the demographic characteristics of the employees and to assess the moderating impact of demographic variables on the relationship between work motivation and Gen Z employee retention. Design/Methodology/Approach: The empirical research was conducted by employing a quantitative research design from Indian Gen Z employees working at various organizations. A cross-sectional time frame was followed, wherein data was collected from 755 participants for their perception of work motivation and employee retention using a questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to examine the relationships between the study variables and to validate the developed model for the study using Smart PLS v3 software. Findings: Overall, the study found that workplace motivation has a significant effect on Gen Z employees’ retention. Moreover, the association between job motivation and Gen Z employee retention was moderated by gender, income, and industry type. However, the association between work motivation and Gen Z employee retention was unaffected by the level of education. Research Implications: The findings of the study specifically provide insights for HR practitioners. It can be implied that motivating employees and retaining them are among the essential elements of every organization. The organizations must create equal opportunities for males and females.

PATIENT'S PERSPECTIVES ON TREATMENT ADHERENCE IN HYPERTENSION: RESULTS OF AN ESH SURVEY IN POLAND

Objective: The ESH Working group on Lifestyle, Cardiovascular Therapy and Adherence has developed a web-based questionnaire in different languages to investigate patients’ perspectives on hypertension and treatment adherence. The objective of this survey was to decipher patients’ perception of motivations for and barriers to treatment adherence in hypertension. Design and method: In Poland, a dedicated recruitment strategy has been developed to invite adult patients to complete the survey via targeted information on patient group websites and social media only. In other countries a direct communication from healthcare professional to patient was preferred. Data were collected from May to September 2022. Descriptive statistics were used for analyses. Results: We included 1359 participants (962 men (71%); 67% were hypertensive for &gt;5 years, 88% were treated with antihypertensive medications for at least 3 months). The total median number of tablets taken every day was 4 of which 2 were antihypertensive medications. Antihypertensive medications were prescribed most frequently once (56%) or twice (36%) daily. On a 10-point Likert scale, participants reported a modest impact of hypertension on their quality of life (4), social and family life (2). The median level of stress was 5 out of 10 points. Ninety two of patients performed self-blood pressure measurements at home, most frequently every day (34%) and a few times a week (28%). Self-reported adherence to treatment was perfect in 43% of patients, very high in 30% and intermediate-low in 26% of patients. Main reasons for low adherence to medication included forgetfulness (41%), improvement in well-being (15%), side effects (14%) and running out of medications (11%). The most useful approaches to support adherence reported by participants were cheaper and single-pill combinations as well as leaflets providing better information on treatment. Information provided by physicians on hypertension and its treatment was considered sufficient only for 54% of patients. Conclusions: In a web-based ESH survey in Poland, over 1,300 participants reported a modest impact of hypertension on their quality of life and a moderate level of anxiety, usually non-intentional non-adherence to prescribed antihypertensive medications, and the necessity to improve the information provided to them.

Flipped Classroom: Students’ Cognitive Needs of Relatedness, Competence, and Autonomy in a Fully-Flipped Program

This study examines how the flipped classroom approach to teaching and learning supports or inhibits the cognitive needs of relatedness, competence, and autonomy, leading to either increased or decreased levels of motivation. We use semi-structured interviews involving twenty-two students and five facilitators in an Australian university to qualitatively investigate perceptions of motivation through the lens of self-determination theory (SDT). Using thematic analysis, our findings reveal that the flipped classroom approach supports students’ cognitive need for relatedness by providing more opportunities for interaction in the classroom. Further, relatedness has been shown to facilitate internalisation and support competence as a result of students supporting each other. However, our findings demonstrate that despite overall satisfaction with the flipped learning environment, the students raised concerns about how the learning is executed. Among recommendations for pedagogical practices, academics and education providers are urged to create an environment that supports a sense of belongingness and self-endorsement of learning activities among students to promote more autonomous forms of motivation.
