Teacher retention and burnout among primary and secondary school teachers in Queensland are pressing issues, with turnover rates exceeding the number of new teachers and contributing to workforce shortages. While most research on burnout and career turnover has focused on internal factors such as self-efficacy and resilience, fewer studies have examined the impact of external factors, particularly organisational support. This study surveyed 431 Queensland teachers to assess their perceptions of organisational support, burnout levels, and turnover intentions. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were analysed through hierarchical regression to explore key relationships; qualitative data were examined using inductive thematic analysis for deeper insights. Findings reveal that high burnout and low organisational support predict turnover intentions at all career stages; the final model explained 51% of the variance in turnover intentions. The thematic analysis identified five key drivers of turnover: workload, support, health, lifestyle, and respect, with 27% of participants indicating plans to leave the profession within the next five years. Although based on a cross-sectional study, these results offer helpful guidance for policies and interventions to improve teacher wellbeing and retention by easing workload demands and strengthening organisational support.

ABSTRACT Humour in interviews can increase the affiliation between interviewees and interviewers. Technology‐mediated interviews may limit the perceived opportunities and effectiveness of humour attempts. A total of 271 participants (from Prolific) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions describing either a face‐to‐face, videoconference, or asynchronous video interview scenario. The effects on perceived effectiveness and intentions to use humour for reasons that could be described as self‐focused or other‐focused were assessed. Perceptions of effectiveness were not significantly different across interview media. The likelihood of using self‐focused humour did not differ, but the likelihood of using humour for other‐focused reasons was lower in asynchronous video interviews. Social presence was identified as a mediator of the relationship between interview media and likelihood of humour use. This study offers insight into the antecedents of social dynamics in different interview formats.

This study explores the role of language as a visual strategy in the construction of graphic product identity within the creative industry. In the context of visual communication design, language is commonly understood as a verbal element used to convey information. However, in contemporary graphic product design, language undergoes a transformation into a visual element that contributes to the formation of visual identity, branding, and product differentiation. This research aims to analyze how language functions as a visual strategy in graphic product design, particularly in shaping product identity and strengthening its position in the creative industry. The study employs a mixed-methods approach by combining qualitative visual analysis and quantitative consumer perception analysis. The qualitative approach is used to examine typographic forms, visual composition, and the integration of language with other visual elements, while the quantitative approach is used to measure consumer perceptions of visual identity, product uniqueness, and purchase intention. The findings indicate that language, when treated as a visual element, plays a significant role in constructing graphic product identity. Through typographic exploration and visual composition, language contributes to the creation of visual uniqueness, cultural representation, and product differentiation. Furthermore, the use of language enhances consumer perception in terms of visual appeal, identity recognition, and emotional connection to cultural values. This study contributes to the development of visual communication design by proposing the concept of language as a visual strategy in graphic product identity. It highlights the role of graphic product design not only as a visual artifact but also as a strategic medium for identity construction, branding, and differentiation in the creative industry.

As social media becomes a central source of mental health information, there is growing concern that influencers can lead people to interpret everyday experiences as symptoms of mental ill health. Across two experimental studies that utilized distinct media formats, we examined how, by creating, representing, advancing and embedding a shared sense of ‘us’ (i.e. engaging in identity leadership), influencers' ADHD‐related content shapes perceptions of self, symptoms and behavioural intentions. In Study 1 (N = 289 men) authentic video stimuli demonstrating high‐ versus low‐identity leadership were extracted from TikTok, whilst in Study 2 (N = 259 men) tightly controlled text posts were used. Across both studies, identity leadership was associated with greater identification as ADHDers, help‐seeking attitudes and self‐care intentions. Planned comparisons in Study 1 provided some evidence that high‐identity‐leadership content increased participants' identification as ADHDers. In Study 2, identity leadership was particularly important for mental health professional influencers (compared to lay influencers) in promoting self‐care intentions. These findings suggest that influencers can use identity leadership to meaningfully influence both people's understanding and response to mental health content.

ABSTRACT Economists and management scholars have argued that the scope of incentives to increase cooperation in organizations is limited as their use may signal the prevalence of free‐riding among employees. This paper tests this hypothesis with an artefactual field experiment that assigns managers and employees from a large company to stylized roles within a controlled game. We exogenously vary whether managers are informed about prevailing cooperation levels among employees before they can set incentives to promote cooperation. In addition, employees matched to informed managers learn that the manager could base their incentive choice on cooperation levels. We find no evidence for the hypothesized signaling effect. Having an informed manager set the incentive does not change employees' beliefs about the cooperativeness of others. Incentives, hence, have strong positive effects on cooperative beliefs, irrespective of information. The absence of the signaling effect appears to reflect employees' perceptions of managerial intentions: incentives are interpreted not as signals of low cooperation, but as rewards for expected cooperation. A follow‐up survey experiment supports this mechanism, showing that a cooperative culture affects the interpretation of managerial actions.

Background: A significant shortage of experienced nurses poses a major challenge in health care. Although evidence indicates that shared governance, a hallmark of Magnet organizations, supports nurse retention, gaps remain in understanding how psychological empowerment influences this relationship. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate predictive pathways among nurses’ perceptions of shared governance, psychological empowerment, and turnover intention, with psychological empowerment examined as a mediating mechanism. Methods: A total of 313 nurses from an integrated care system participated in a cross-sectional survey study. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Nurses’ perceptions of shared governance predicted turnover intention, with psychological empowerment partially mediating this relationship. The combined effects accounted for 24% of the variance in nurses’ turnover intention. Conclusions: Nurse leaders should invest in shared governance principles that foster psychological empowerment as an intentional leadership strategy to effectively reduce turnover intention.

This study investigates the effects of verb aspect on legal judgments. In three experiments, that were presented in French to French speakers, participants received a scenario about a case of HIV transmission, in which the actions of the person referred to as responsible for the transmission were described using imperfective or perfective aspect. Furthermore, in experiment 1, the accused was portrayed as aware (versus unaware) of his HIV status, and in experiment 2, he was portrayed as having (versus not having) a previous criminal record. In experiment 3, the lexical verbs used to describe his behavior made the accused a high volitional agent (versus low volitional). Participants read the report and then made judgments on intentionality, expressed feelings toward the accused and ascribed him a blame and sentence. Results revealed that imperfective descriptions resulted in higher perceived intentionality, higher blame attribution, more dislike and higher sentence. But they also showed that these effects of imperfective versions occurred primarily when the accused was portrayed as knowing his seropositivity (experiment 1), having a criminal record (experiment 2) and when the volition of his behavior was attenuated (experiment 3). These findings provide novel insights about how language subtleties can impact perceptions of criminal intentionality and its related judgments.

Packaging is more than a protective shell: it is a critical communication channel between brand and consumer. This paper investigates how packaging functions as a business-communication tool from a consumer-centred perspective. Drawing on semiotics, sensory marketing, and experiential consumption theories, the study uses a qualitative methodology—semi-structured interviews and focus groups with diverse consumers—to examine how packaging elements (colour, typography, imagery, materiality, shape, and information architecture) influence perceptions of brand meaning, product quality, trust, and purchase intention. Thematic analysis reveals that consumers interpret packaging through three overlapping communicative pathways: symbolic/identity cues, functional/ informational cues, and sensory/experiential cues. The findings show that effective packaging design aligns these pathways with brand strategy and consumer expectations and that mismatches (e.g., premium cues on a low-quality product) can erode trust. The paper concludes with managerial implications for packaging strategy, design guidelines for consumer-centred communication, limitations, and directions for future research. Keywords: Packaging design; business communication; consumer-centred; semiotics; sensory marketing; qualitative research; thematic analysis

Facebook marketing has emerged as a dominant channel for engaging audiences in Nigeria’s increasingly digital marketplace. This study examined the influence of evolving Facebook marketing trends on user experience, with a focus on engagement patterns, perceptions of content relevance, trust, and behavioural intentions. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from 165 purposively selected active Facebook users through structured questionnaires. Analysis involved descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests at a 0.05 significance level. Results revealed a predominantly young (64% aged 18–24), student-heavy (72.7%) audience, with 83.3% accessing Facebook via smartphones. Awareness and exposure to Facebook marketing were high, though perceptions of relevance (31.3%) and trustworthiness (36%) were mixed. Engagement behaviours were moderate, with “sometimes” being the most frequent response across interaction types. Satisfaction (36.7%), trust (50%), and purchase intention (49.3%) were moderate, highlighting gaps in targeting and personalisation. The study concludes that aligning marketing strategies with audience gratifications and ensuring ethical personalisation are critical for improving engagement outcomes. The research emphasises the subjective experiences of Nigerian Facebook users, such as satisfaction, trust, perceived relevance, and behavioural responses, rather than organisational or technical outcomes. Data will be collected from active Facebook users residing in Nigeria, ensuring that the findings reflect the unique cultural, social, and economic contexts of the country. The timeframe of the study is confined to current and emerging trends from 2010 to 2025, a period marked by significant transformations in Facebook’s marketing landscape.

Auditory Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) constitute the vital intervention for profound sensorineural hearing loss where the auditory nerve is compromised, yet their clinical efficacy remains restricted by substantial biological bottlenecks and limited spectral resolution. This review critically examines the evolutionary paradigm of auditory restoration, tracing the transition from static physical replacement to dynamic biological symbiosis. We systematically analyze physiological barriers across cochlear, brainstem, and cortical levels, elucidating how rigid interfaces provoke chronic tissue responses and why linear encoding protocols fail in distorted central tonotopy. The article synthesizes emerging methodologies in material science, demonstrating how soft, bio-integrated electronics and biomimetic topologies effectively address mechanical impedance mismatches. Furthermore, the trajectory of neural encoding is evaluated, highlighting the paradigm shift from traditional envelope extraction to deep learning-driven non-linear mapping and adaptive closed-loop neuromodulation. Finally, the potential of high-resolution modulation techniques, including optogenetics and sonogenetics, alongside AI-facilitated intent perception for active listening, is assessed. It is concluded that future neuroprostheses must evolve into symbiotic systems capable of seamlessly integrating with neural plasticity to enable high-fidelity cognitive reconstruction.

ABSTRACT This study examines how subordinate personality traits and organizational factors influence perceptions of abusive supervision (AS) and turnover intention (TI). Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory and Trait Activation Theory, it proposes that extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and organizational sanction norms reduce perceived AS, while performance promotion motive buffers its effect on TI. Survey data from 306 full-time salespersons in Pakistan’s food and beverage sector were analysed using PLS-SEM. Findings show that personality traits and organizational norms predict AS perceptions, AS mediates trait-TI relationships, and performance promotion motive moderates the AS-TI relationship, offering theoretical and practical implications for organizations and managers today.

BackgroundService quality is a critical determinant of satisfaction and behavioral intentions in fitness centers. Instructors play a pivotal role in shaping users’ perceived quality and, consequently, their loyalty and recommendation intentions. This study aimed to compare users’ ratings of quality of intervention, loyalty intention, and recommendation intention with instructors’ estimations of how users would rate these same dimensions, and to examine how users’ ratings vary according to sex, age, educational level, and gym attended.MethodsA total of 589 users and 145 instructors from five gyms within a Portuguese fitness chain completed an online questionnaire in which users rated quality of intervention, loyalty intention, and recommendation intention, while instructors reported their estimations of how users would rate these same dimensions, rather than providing their own evaluations. Independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA were performed to compare perceptions between users and instructors, and across user groups by sex, age, education level, and gym attended.ResultsUsers consistently rated instructor quality, loyalty, and recommendation intentions higher than instructors did. Among users, significant differences were found across age, education level, and gym attended: older and less-educated participants, and those from specific gyms, reported higher scores. Only recommendation intention differed by sex, with female users more frequently reporting that they would recommend the gym.ConclusionThis study highlights the crucial role of instructor quality in shaping satisfaction and behavioral intentions within fitness settings. The results emphasize the importance of reflective professional development for instructors and segmentation-based loyalty strategies for users. These findings offer actionable insights for fitness managers to tailor service delivery, strengthen customer loyalty, and foster sustainable organizational success in a competitive market.

Peruvian elementary teachers evaluation of bullying behaviors: Perceptions of severity, empathy, and intent to intervene

To evaluate an individuals' moral character the intentions behind their actions must be discriminated from the actual outcome. How this is achieved remains unclear. We developed a novel paradigm that dissociates the perception of intentions from outcome. Participants separately predicted and received feedback on agents' intentions and outcomes. They then made moral evaluations of the agent. Four independent experiments (120 participants in total) demonstrated that intentions and outcomes mutually influenced each other during the learning process before integrating them for subsequent moral evaluation. Computational modeling further revealed that intentions biased the predictions of outcomes, while outcomes directly modified the beliefs about intentions. Moreover, participants considered both intention and outcome when making moral evaluations, but placed greater weight on intention, regardless of sampling bias and presentation order. These findings offer new insights concerning how individuals process intention and outcome when learning about others' moral character.

Vessel trajectory prediction is pivotal for maritime traffic safety and autonomous collision avoidance. However, existing studies predominantly rely on massive public AIS (Automatic Identification System) datasets, often overlooking the challenges of data sparsity and long-tailed distributions inherent in practical engineering scenarios, where high-dynamic maneuvering samples are scarce. Furthermore, as a low-frequency kinematic observation system, AIS suffers from inherent kinematic lag relative to the vessel’s true dynamic state, particularly failing to timely reflect turning intentions during the maneuver initiation phase. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a Physics-Aware Multimodal Fusion Framework. By incorporating high-frequency acceleration and angular velocity from an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), the framework applies physical compensation to AIS kinematic observations, thereby enhancing the model’s perception of maneuvering intent. Validation based on real-vessel experimental data demonstrates that the proposed method effectively mitigates the prediction lag observed in pure-AIS models at the 60 s horizon, significantly improving accuracy in turning scenarios. Moreover, in 180 s long-term predictions, the multimodal fusion mechanism effectively suppresses integration drift, ensuring superior trajectory shape consistency and engineering stability. The study indicates that incorporating IMU inertial information is critical for enhancing the robustness of vessel trajectory prediction under practical engineering conditions characterized by sparse samples and complex maneuvers.

While retouched photos on social media have been argued to be at best inauthentic and at worst fake, this study employs a negotiated authenticity lens in combination with aesthetics theory to investigate how social media audiences perceive the authenticity, including antecedents and consequences, of retouched travel photos, using an online survey. Findings show that in the context of retouched travel photos, perceived constructive authenticity, perceived existential authenticity ascribed by social media audiences, and perceived creative authenticity derived from tourists’ rationale for posting are significantly associated with social media audiences’ perceptions of the authenticity of these photos. This positively associates with perceived aesthetics and in turn, predicts impulse travel intention. Notably, this study demonstrates that social media audiences actively and critically engage in the attribution of authenticity. These findings offer valuable theoretical contributions and provide useful practical implications for tourism providers to plan and design tourism products and marketing collateral.

The prevalence of ChatGPT in academia forms the genesis of this study’s goal of researching its adoption. Educators reported that students struggle to account for the ethical dimensions of AI chatbot assistance, and this research elucidates the factors influencing students’ usage of ChatGPT for academic purposes. The majority of publications about higher education in the AI sector take a look at the problem superficially. This study investigates the factors influencing ChatGPT usage among university students by focusing on two key antecedents: awareness and knowledge application. It examines the outcomes of ChatGPT usage, encompassing its impact on students’ perceptions of ethics, plagiarism risk, and intention to use ChatGPT for future study. The data gathered from 350 students at private universities in Spain were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and it was confirmed that awareness and knowledge application significantly predict ChatGPT usage. ChatGPT usage mediates the relationships between awareness, knowledge application, and students’ intention to continue using it, and it also influences students’ perceptions of ethics and plagiarism risks, highlighting ChatGPT’s role in shaping ethical considerations and concerns vis-à-vis academic integrity. The results offer valuable insights into integrating AI-related applications in higher education and provide practical recommendations for effectively incorporating digital technologies in higher education environments.

With the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0, human–robot collaborative assembly (HRCA) has progressed from physical copresence to cognitive integration and knowledge sharing. Digital twins (DTs) serve as enabling technologies that connect physical and virtual spaces. Support is provided for dynamic, safe, and human-centered collaboration. This study presents a systematic review of the research progress and practical applications of DT-enabled HRCA. First, conceptual boundaries between HRCA and general human–robot collaboration (HRC) in manufacturing are defined. Core elements of DT-driven state perception, task planning, and constraint modeling are described. Second, four task-allocation paradigms are classified and summarized, including optimization-based, constraint satisfaction-based, data-driven intelligent, and large language model (LLM)-assisted approaches. Applicable scenarios are identified. Third, the effects of collaboration modes and interaction modalities on planning logic are analyzed. Collaboration modes are categorized as parallel, sequential, and tightly coupled. Interaction modalities are grouped into AR-based explicit interaction, implicit intention perception, and multimodal fusion. Fourth, cross-domain application characteristics and engineering bottlenecks are summarized. Target domains include precision assembly, disassembly and remanufacturing, and construction on-site operations. Finally, four core challenges are distilled, including dynamic uncertainty, multi-objective conflicts, human factor adaptation, and system integration. Four future directions are outlined: LLM-enabled adaptive planning, safety–efficiency co-optimization, personalized collaboration, and standardized integration. The proposed technology–application–challenge–outlook framework is intended to provide a theoretical reference and practical guidance for transitioning HRCA from laboratory prototypes to large-scale industrial deployment.

Data suggests that consumers are increasingly aware of the nutritional composition of foods, and the presence of health claims is considered a differentiating factor in the purchase of foods and beverages. We analyzed literature on health claims and their impact on consumer behavior, using different databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed). According to the bibliometric analyses of 423 articles, research on health claims presents distinct subareas such as health, marketing, regulation, public health, and behavior. Data from several studies, involving 27,813 participants from several countries, are summarized. The health claims included: cardiovascular, bone, muscle, metabolic, digestive, eye, along with overall health and wellness. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, cognitive and mental performance, immune system support, and disease prevention were also addressed. Our resulting narrative review indicates that health claims could have a positive influence on consumer behavior, especially about the perception of value, purchase intention, and willingness to pay for foods that feature this type of communication. Although health claims on foods have a significant potential to positively influence consumer-purchasing behavior, their impact is dependent on multiple individual and contextual factors, such as consumers' health status and knowledge on nutrition, price, taste, access, and consumers' perception of the brand. Understanding the relationship between health claims and consumer behavior and choices is essential to developing effective regulations, public policies, and communication strategies to encourage healthier food choices and influence the food industry.

Disability bias is ingrained in how individuals speak, and its impact can be widespread. When biased language is used in recruitment, it could impact application rates of diverse and qualified applicants. This article examines the prevalence and impact of biased (ableist) and inclusive (equal employment opportunity [EEO] and accommodation statements) language on individuals with and without disabilities. In Study 1, a content analysis of 1886 job ads found that ableist language was present in 84.09% of the job ads, whereas EEO and accommodation statements were only present in 19.25% and 9.28% of job ads, respectively. Study 2 examined the effect of biased and inclusive language and found that individuals with and without disabilities were (a) negatively affected by ableist language and (b) positively affected by EEO and accommodation statements. Ableist language was associated with lower perceptions of person-organization fit and intentions to apply. In contrast, EEO and accommodation statements were associated with higher intentions to apply. Accommodation statements were also associated with increased fit perceptions. These effects were more pronounced for individuals with disabilities. Study 3 sought to replicate these results while manipulating the desirability of jobs through pay levels. Ableist language continued to have a negative impact on fit and likelihood to apply, and EEO and accommodation statements maintained a positive impact. However, unlike Study 2, these effects were not stronger for those with physical disabilities. This research demonstrates the negative effects of ableist language in recruitment materials and the positive effect of EEO and accommodation statements.
