Beyond blueprints: unveiling sustainable housing ambitions – a TAM and EMGB fusion among paraprofessionals in urban construction landscape

PurposeThis study explores the factors influencing the investment intentions of potential home buyers among paraprofessionals in sustainable housing within urban construction. By combining the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the extended model of goal-directed behavior (EMGB), the research seeks to understand how technological perceptions, personal motivations and behavioral intentions intersect to shape these investment decisions.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive research design was employed in this study. The study surveyed 641 paraprofessionals as potential home buyers in various Indian cities using a multi-stage stratified sampling technique. It incorporated variables from the TAM and EMGB, modifying some aspects to include financial self-efficacy, hedonic motivation and anticipated regret, alongside adding location as a new factor to examine its impact. For data analysis, partial least squares structural equation modeling was utilized. The analysis focused on hypothesis testing to examine the relationships between the constructs of interest. Bootstrap t-values and effect sizes were used to assess these relationships’ significance and magnitude.FindingsThe study found that perceived usefulness and ease of use significantly enhance attitudes toward sustainable homes, while subjective norms have a minimal effect on such investments in India, emphasizing personal rather than societal influences. Financial self-efficacy, anticipated regret and hedonic motivation are key drivers, indicating that economic capacity and the pursuit of a satisfying lifestyle are crucial for investment intentions. Additionally, the importance of location is highlighted, with infrastructural aspects notably affecting sustainable housing appeal. These insights reveal unique dynamics in India’s sustainable housing sector, diverging from trends in developed countries.Originality/valueThe study lies in its unique fusion of the TAM and EMGB specifically tailored to the Indian urban construction context. It introduces financial self-efficacy, hedonic motivation and anticipated regret as novel variables within these frameworks, alongside emphasizing the significant role of location in sustainable housing decisions. This approach offers new insights into the psychological and socioeconomic factors driving sustainable housing investments in developing countries.

Exploring administrative evil, the ethics of dissent, and guerrilla government in The Good Place

This article uses the comedy television series The Good Place as a starting point to theoretically explore the value of guerrilla government as a measure to disrupt administrative evil. Drawing from the literature of administrative evil and Rosemary O’Leary’s work on the ethics of dissent and guerrilla government, this article considers the personal ethics and organizational cultural motivations for dissent as well as how administrators work to disrupt administrative evil while navigating through various strategies including loyalty, neglect, voice, and exit. This article demonstrates how popular media can be used as a means of theorizing for public administration scholars as well as a space where ideas related to public administration can apply existing theories in a method that can be engaging to mainstream audiences. The paper concludes with a proposed model of how administrative evil and guerrilla government may be conceptualized to interact with one another as well as potential areas of opportunity for administrators to practice dissent within the broader maze of bureaucracy administrative evil can become lost amongst.

Coming out of isolation: impacts of COVID-19 on physical activity, diet, mental well-being, and sleep over time

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic lockdown significantly disrupted daily routines and impacted physical activity, diet, mental well-being, and sleep. This mixed-methods study investigates these changes over three periods—pre-pandemic, pandemic onset, and one-year post-onset—to understand their causes and inform public health policy for improved resilience during future crises.MethodsA mixed-methods study was conducted with 34 US participants who completed open-ended qualitative questions and quantitative assessments in May 2020 and May 2021. Participants were recruited via social media from 10 states with high COVID-19 cases. Quantitative data categorized health changes (positive, negative, or no change), while qualitative data were analyzed thematically to explore reasons for these changes and uncover interrelationships among health behaviors.ResultsQuantitative results showed that, during the pandemic onset, most participants experienced negative changes in diet, mental well-being, and sleep, while physical activity varied. By one-year post-onset, improvements were noted across all health pillars, with mental well-being and sleep showing the most significant positive changes. Thematic analysis of qualitative data revealed stress, anxiety, and personal motivations as key drivers of health behaviors. Participants’ narratives provided a deeper understanding of these shifts that a Likert-style survey alone could not capture, highlighting the interconnectedness of health pillars.DiscussionThe findings demonstrate the importance of addressing mental well-being to improve overall health resilience. Public health interventions should prioritize mental health and consider the interrelated nature of health behaviors. The mixed-methods approach combined quantitative trends with qualitative insights, offering a comprehensive understanding of why health changes occurred, providing actionable guidance for future public health policy.

This paper studies Rom 13:1-10, analyzing the inner connection between Paul’s exhortation to submit to governing authorities and his admonition to love one another. It addresses interpretative and exegetical issues, including possible textual interpolations and the meanings of key terms. The analysis demonstrates that Paul’s argument hinges on the incrementum (αὔξησις) of underlying rationales, moving from general and external incentives to personal and internal motivations. This study highlights that the coherence of the passage relies on understanding both its imperatives and motivations, ultimately suggesting a deeper moral imperative.

Understanding the Determinants Influencing Self-Medication with Antibiotics Among Malaysian Residents: A Qualitative Study to Inform Preventive Public Health Strategies

Introduction: Self-medication with antibiotics (SMA)—the use of these drugs without a physician’s diagnosis, supervision, or a medical prescription—has emerged as a significant crisis in many societies, being a particular concern in low- and middle-income countries. SMA practices hinder global efforts to reduce antibiotic consumption in the human health sector and to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aims of the study were to explore the motivations, perspectives, and personal experiences of the Malaysian population related to SMA, analyzing their subjective viewpoints, attitudes, and behaviors. Methods: The present qualitative study applied an interpretivism paradigm to explore the complex topic of SMA; the interview questions were developed and confirmed by experts in AMR and pharmacy practice. Qualitative data analysis was carried out through a thematic approach. Results: Out of twenty-seven (n = 27) eligible individuals, eleven (n = 11) agreed to participate in in-depth interviews. Three main themes and seven subthemes were identified. Participants revealed directly purchasing antibiotics from pharmacies, due to doctors prescribing similar medications for comparable illnesses in the past. Trust issues related to physicians prescribing unnecessary additional medications and suspected personal motives were revealed. Budgetary constraints, timesaving, and aspects of self-care were identified as some of the key drivers for SMA. Conclusions: The current study’s findings contribute to the understanding of the complexities surrounding SMA and provides insights into the public perceptions and behaviors regarding unregulated antibiotic use in Malaysia. Understanding these dynamics may inform targeted public health interventions to address SMA to mitigate the development of AMR.

SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF FORMING AN EFFECTIVE INNOVATIVE TEAM

This article highlights issues related to the social and psychological foundations of the formation of a team capable of working effectively and responding to modern challenges of the market environment. It was determined that such bases are the individual motives of the members of the labor team, namely their personal beliefs regarding the expediency of performing professional tasks. It is established that they are formed at the early stages of the socialization of the individual under the influence of education, upbringing, norms of social morality and are corrected during his subsequent working life. It has been found that motives can be more stable than incentives, which can cause an undesirable final result of the enterprise's activity. With this in mind, the task of institutional management should be the creation of an effective motivational system aimed at strengthening the role of incentives in the structure of employee motivation for professional development, professional development, creativity, creativity and initiative. The article provides recommendations on directions for adjusting the national management system in order to create an effective innovative team. In particular, to improve the work of the team and the final efficiency of the enterprise, it is recommended to create an effective system of labor incentives through the introduction of elements of foreign management models. The proposed elements make it possible to create an effective model of personnel motivation management, as they are aimed at strengthening the personal motives of employees to protect their own professional interests and dignity, use the opportunity for self-development and self-realization, involvement in the process of enterprise management and decision-making, evaluation of one's own labor contribution and recognition of the obtained results, adjustment constructive business relations in the team. It was determined that these innovations should become the basis for further improvement of the motivation of employees in the domestic management system, since each branch and field of activity has its own characteristics, taking into account the possibility of their further adjustment.

Factors Influencing Teacher Enthusiasm: A Qualitative Study in Turkish Context

This study explores the factors influencing teacher enthusiasm in Turkish public schools through a qualitative, exploratory case study design conducted in two provinces in the northwestern region of Türkiye. Data were collected from 28 teachers using semi-structured interviews, with participants selected through convenience and maximum variation sampling methods. Content analysis was employed to analyze the data. The research identified three primary themes: personal factors, contextual factors, and external factors. Personal factors include motivation, affection for teaching and job satisfaction. Contextual factors encompass students’ academic performance and behaviors, school leadership practices, relationships with colleagues, and working conditions. External factors involve parental attitudes, educational policies, the value perception of the teaching profession, and incentives and rewards. The findings emphasize the critical role of personal motivation, affection for teaching, and job satisfaction in fostering teacher enthusiasm. Additionally, supportive leadership, positive student interactions, and a collaborative work environment are crucial contextual factors. External factors such as positive parental attitudes, consistent educational policies, societal recognition of the teaching profession, and appropriate incentives and rewards also play a vital role in fostering teacher enthusiasm. These results suggest that policymakers should prioritize consistent educational policies as well as recognition and rewards for teachers, while school principals should create supportive and collaborative environments. By addressing these areas, stakeholders can enhance teacher enthusiasm, ultimately improving teaching quality and student outcomes.

Students' Readiness and Perceptions of Autonomous Learning: A Case Study of UMI students

This paper aims to investigate the readiness and perceptions of students towards autonomous learning at the Faculty of Arts, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes, English Department, a concept that emphasizes learner independence and self-regulation in the educational process. As educational paradigms shift towards more student-centered approaches, understanding how prepared students are for such autonomy is crucial for successful implementation. This case study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews to assess students' self-efficacy, motivation, and attitudes towards independent learning. It involves 120 participants, the research focuses on the impact of demographic variables such as age, gender, and educational background on students' readiness and attitudes, the factors influencing their readiness for autonomous learning, their perceptions of the benefits and challenges of autonomous learning compared to traditional learning, and the relationship between self-efficacy and perceived readiness. The findings reveal varying levels of readiness among students, influenced by factors such as prior learning experiences, access to resources, and personal motivation. While a significant portion of students express enthusiasm for the flexibility and empowerment associated with autonomous learning, others indicate concerns about the challenges it presents, including time management and the need for self-discipline. The study concludes by discussing the implications for curriculum design and the support structures necessary to enhance students' readiness for autonomous learning at UMI.

The study concludes that although early failures are common among startups, such failures can become valuable experiences that contribute to future success when managed strategically.

Bridging the gap: Crypto users’ sense-making of a historical market crisis

The conflict between cryptocurrencies’ ideological promises and their practical reality has recently become a considerable topic of scholarly discussion. It has been framed in terms of the so-called ‘promissory gap’ of cryptocurrencies – a gap that is founded in the contrast between the promises of a ‘trust-free’ system and actual reality. Yet, while crypto’s notion of ‘trust-free’ money has been heavily questioned, there is little research on how users seek to overcome cryptocurrencies’ promissory gap. Contrary to the promises of being ‘trust-free’ by design, this paper demonstrates that struggles for trust and control represent a focal point of the community interactions surrounding crypto. By drawing upon Dervin’s sense-making methodology to conduct interviews with 28 crypto investors, this study examines how social actors attempt to construct ‘bridges’ over a ‘gap-filled’ reality related to the moment of a historical crisis in crypto. The results reveal crypto’s intricate social embeddedness: whilst unequal power dynamics, distrust, and conflicting interests represent primary elements of users’ struggles in the crypto space, users attempt to restore a sense of control by recalling personal motivations and connecting with like-minded people. The paper provides insights into crypto users’ strategies to construct meaning in a highly uncertain environment and contributes to the discussion of crypto as a socially structured phenomenon.

Perspectives of cancer consumer representatives on their involvement in healthcare service improvement: a qualitative study

BackgroundConsumer involvement in healthcare service organisation and policy development is recognised globally as a vital strategy in improving the quality and patient-centredness of care. There are significant gaps in knowledge about consumer involvement in practice, including consumers’ engagement in the process of enhancing cancer services. This study aimed to explore consumers’ perspectives on their involvement in cancer service improvement.MethodsCancer consumer representatives were recruited through Victorian Integrated Cancer Services, Australia. Eligible consumers were, or had been, a member of a health service improvement-related committee or project and attended at least one meeting with health professionals. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted online and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.ResultsSix experienced consumer representatives were interviewed. Perspectives on their involvement in improving cancer services were categorised into three major topics. The first addressed personal aspects of involvement, in which participants described personal motivations (e.g., having lived experience of cancer themselves or in their family), challenges encountered in committee involvement, experiences of received support in their role as a consumer representative, concerns about narrow representation, and their evolving identity as a consumer representative. The second discussed practical contributions made by consumer representatives to improve systems and services. Participants detailed their active engagement with committees and consumer-led projects, contributing both their cancer experiences and general or professional skills. The third topic focused on directions for improving consumer involvement in the health system. Suggestions highlighted widening consumer representation to include often marginalised voices to inform decision-making at local committee and health system levels.ConclusionsThis study enhances the real-world understanding of the role that consumer representatives play in improving cancer health services. The strategies suggested in our research provide the opportunity to enhance consumer involvement and pave the way for more effective cancer service planning and implementation across diverse healthcare settings.

DETERMINANTS OF INTENTION TO DO WHISTLEBLOWING IN BANK PEREKONOMIAN RAKYAT

Whistleblowing is when someone speaks up to expose wrongdoing within an organization, with the goal of protecting it from illegal or unethical behavior. The act of whistleblowing is driven by a deep personal motivation to protect an organization from engaging in illegal activities. This intention can arise due to several factors. This research seeks to analyze on how organizational dedication, individual sacrifices, and ethical thinking impact an individual's decision to report misconduct. This study was conducted at 21 Head Offices of PT Bank Perekonomian Rakyat throughout Denpasar City. A survey was conducted by distributing a questionnaire directly to the participants for collecting data Respondents were selected from employees in the compliance, accounting, teller, credit, and internal auditor divisions, so that the total was 105 respondents. Of the 105 questionnaires distributed, only 92 respondents' answers met the requirements for further analysis using multiple linear regression. The findings of this research reveal that being committed to an organization can increase the likelihood of whistleblowing, while bearing personal costs can also increase the likelihood of whistleblowing. Additionally, moral reasoning does not seem to have an impact on the whistleblowing intention.

Generative artificial intelligence: a proactive and creative tool to achieve hyper-segmentation and hyper-personalization in the tourism industry

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how GenAI can help companies achieve a higher level of hyper-segmentation and hyper-personalization in the tourism industry, as well as show the importance of this disruptive tool for tourism marketing. Design/methodology/approach This paper used the Web of Science and Google Scholar databases to provide updated studies and expert authors to explore GenAI in the tourism industry. Analysing hyper-segmentation and hyper-personalization modalities through GenAI and their new challenges for tourists, tourism cities and companies. Findings Findings reveal that GenAI technology exponentially improves consumers’ segmentation and personalization of products and services, allowing tourism cities and organizations to create tailored content in real-time. That is why the concept of hyper-segmentation is substantially focused on the customer (understood as a segment of one) and his or her preferences, needs, personal motivations and purchase antecedents, and it encourages companies to design tailored products and services with a high level of individual scalability and performance called hyper-personalization, never before seen in the tourism industry. Indeed, contextualizing the experience through GenAI is an important way to enhance personalization. Originality/value This paper also contributes to enhancing and bootstrapping the literature on GenAI in the tourism industry because it is a new field of study, and its functional operability is in an incubation stage. Moreover, this viewpoint can facilitate researchers and companies to successfully integrate GenAI into different tourism and travel activities without expecting utopian results. Recently, there have been no studies that tackle hyper-segmentation and hyper-personalization methodologies through GenAI in the tourism industry.

Personality traits, interests, and values in medical students: a proposal for a vocational assessment tool for specialty choice

Choosing a medical specialty is a complex, multifactorial process, influenced by a range of factors, including personal motivations, experiences during medical school, job opportunities and remuneration, career stability, availability of residency positions, personality traits, cultural values, sociodemographic factors, and others. The increasing number of medical graduates directly impacts this decision, intensifying competition for residency positions. Universities play a key role in guiding graduates through this decision-making process. However, further research is needed to assist both teachers and students in identifying the most relevant factors influencing this choice. This study aims to explore these factors, considering the individual characteristics of both the medical student and the specialist doctor. It represents the initial step in a research agenda that seeks to develop a psychometric vocational tool to aid in selecting a medical specialty.

Factors Driving Consumption Preferences for Fresh Mango and Mango-Based Products in Italy and Brazil

In many European countries the consumption of tropical fruit is constantly growing, and people are increasingly turning to diets rich in fruit and vegetables. In this context, mango is considered a super-food for its nutritional medium-high energy value. Produced mainly in developing countries, tropical fruits animate an interesting international market. Production in Mediterranean countries is also growing and is increasingly requested in European markets. The aim of this work is to investigate the factors that drive the inclination to purchase fresh mango and mango food and drinks in Italy and Brazil in order to observe consumer preferences in the two countries. The personal experiences, motivations and choices of consumers regarding fresh mango and mango-based products were taken into consideration. Through an online survey, a semi-structured questionnaire was administered in Italy and Brazil which led to a total sample of 453 participants. The data were statistically analyzed, and a PLS-SEM model was used to empirically examine the factors influencing the consumption of fresh mango and mango food and drinks. The research hypotheses are all supported. For a comparison between the two countries, a multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA) was performed. In Italy, consumers are attentive to the quality and safety of the fruit; they choose the point of sale where they buy fresh mango or mango foods because they trust the seller to guarantee the fruit’s origin and transformation. In Brazil, new consumer trends are emerging especially in gastronomy; since they are local foods, they are considered safe, sustainable and healthy by consumers. The study addresses a little-explored topic and aims to enrich the debate on consumer orientations, preferences and reasons for buying mango and mango products.

A narrative inquiry of an undergraduate student in TEFL in developing her identity as an engaged reader

PurposeThis retrospective narrative inquiry explored an undergraduate student’s lived experience in negotiating her identity as an engaged reader of English as a foreign language.Design/methodology/approachNarrative inquiry was employed to gain a deeper and better understanding of the participant’s engagement in reading courses. Olif (pseudonym, female) was recruited due to her significant learning achievements and willingness to share her experiences. To collect the data, we conducted several online interviews with her. To triangulate our findings, we also asked her to share her learning artifacts from the reading courses.FindingsThe thematic analysis revealed two major findings. First, her reading engagement is driven by both personal and academic motivation. Furthermore, her involvement in collaborative reading tasks fosters a deeper comprehension of texts and enhances creativity.Research limitations/implicationsThe study has two major limitations. First, it interviewed only one student and was conducted over a relatively short period. Second, it examined the participant’s experience across three different reading courses, which potentially lacks deeper insights into how each course uniquely contributes to learning engagement.Originality/valueThe study concludes that promoting personalized and collaborative reading tasks enables undergraduate students to develop their identity as engaged readers. Despite focusing on a single participant, this study offers a unique perspective on how the participant’s voice can potentially impact teachers’ pedagogical design in reading classrooms.

Perspectives on intersectoral collaboration and citizen participation in community-based prevention

Abstract Background Challenges in healthcare, such as rising healthcare costs, shortages of healthcare staff, and health disparities, have made many countries focus on intersectoral collaboration (IC) and citizen participation (CP) in community-based prevention (CBP) and health promotion (HP). Previous research on IC and CP has addressed the importance of exchanging perspectives to arrive at a shared vision and ambition. Our study is part of a long-term action research project conducted in two neighborhoods in the Netherlands. It aims to provide insight into stakeholders’ perspectives on IC and CP in CBP and HP to facilitate building partnerships. Methods Data collection takes place from March to June 2024. As part of a Q-study, we perform post-sort interviews. The Q-methodology is based on sorting statements concerning various aspects of IC and CP in CBP and HP (e.g., roles and tasks, involvement of citizens, communication, perceived barriers, etc.). We aim to include 40-50 participants from the aforementioned neighborhoods with diverse backgrounds. Participants sort 40 statements (Q-set) into a fixed-scaled framework ranging from -4 (disagree) to + 4 (agree). The interview is about individual sorting and perspectives on their own role within the collaboration. Results So far, the results of 10 participants with backgrounds in health care, social work, sports, local authority, volunteer work, and public health have been analyzed.Preliminary data synthesis shows six themes concerning shared purpose, collaboration partners, social collaboration competencies, personal motivation, conditions, and collaboration organization. Conclusions The preliminary themes overlap with findings from previous research. We will adapt existing models to reflect on our findings and enrich the literature with new themes or insights in the specific context. The interviews will help interpret the Q-sorts and develop follow-up actions in the action research projects in the participating neighborhoods. Key messages • Insights in stakeholders’ perspectives are valuable for building local collaborative partnerships. • Shared purpose, collaboration partners, social collaboration competencies, personal motivation, conditions, and collaboration organization are themes of interest to intersectoral collaboration.

Support mechanisms and obstacles for developing public health practitioners’ core competences

Abstract Community health needs assessment is one of the central activities for local governments in Estonia, specifically under the health promotion strategic planning, and this includes developing health and well-being profiles for evidence-based public health promotion. For effective implementation of the profile, sufficiently trained public health practitioners are needed. Therefore, analysis of the needs of the additional study programmes according to the core competences of professional standard for health promotion was carried out among public health practitioners and the leaders of local governments. The study was based on the 19 semi-structured interviews carried out in 2022-2023 with leaders (10) and public health practitioners (9) in Estonian local governments. Based on the local government’s size, status of the health and well-being profile and the employment and educational background of the public health practitioner three sub-groups were developed. The collected data was analysed using qualitative content analysis with focus on support mechanisms and obstacles of core competences of public health practitioners. The respondents indicated the need for training on communication (leadership and advocacy) and analytical skills (evaluation and research). Core competence training is however limited by resources (time, energy, motivation, funding), employer expectations (overload at work) and working full-time. Training is supported by personal motivation (e.g., wish to stay competent, understanding the need for training), employer support (including flexible work arrangements), and curriculum support (funding is covered). The results indicate there is a need for flexible education as the need for developing and maintaining core competences emerges in practical work. The results can be used for developing the public health curriculum, to assess and provide training for public health practitioners to better meet the needs of the labor market in the future. Key messages • Local government employees performing health promotion tasks feel the need to upgrade various core competences: e.g., communication, management, data analysis and assessment. • In health promotion, there is a growing need for flexible education, which creates challenges for higher educational institutions to meet the needs of the labor market.

3.X.1. Health literacy in Europe: Building a comparative database for shaping public health policy

Abstract Health literacy (HL) is a key determinant of health and a lever for health equity. It refers to the extent to which individuals are able to deal with health-related information, communicate with health professionals, and navigate the health care system to restore, maintain, protect, and improve their health and well-being. It is the result of an interplay between personal motivation, individual competencies and the health information and service environment. HL is strongly related to health behaviors and issues such as obesity, the social determinants of health, and the use of health systems, which have been under pressure since COVID-19. The development and implementation of targeted public health interventions to promote HL in the European Region require reliable and comparable data on population HL to identify the main HL challenges and the most affected population groups. The WHO Action Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL) has started monitoring population HL and conducted the first M-POHL Health Literacy Survey (HLS19) in 17 countries in the WHO European Region between 2019 and 2021. In preparation for the 2nd M-POHL Health Literacy Survey (2024-2026; HLS24), the HLS19 instruments were further improved and supplemented by a new measure on mental HL. These instruments are also of interest to the European Joint Action PreventNCD with its specific task on HL and non-communicable diseases (7.4). The workshop will provide insights into the M-POHL HLS24, the largest HL survey in Europe, and the HL instruments used. It consists of four presentations, one describing the M-POHL HLS24 project and three on specific HL instruments used to assess different aspects of HL in the European general population: HLS24-DIGI for digital HL; HLS24-COM-P for communicative HL; HLS24-NAV for navigational HL. Each presentation will describe the revised item set and results from pretests. We invite the audience to ask questions and to engage in a (cross-cutting) discussion with the presenters. Expected impact: The presentations will provide a comprehensive overview of the advanced family of instruments used in the HLS24 study, their quality, and the expected HL data for Europe. They will provide a deeper understanding of how HL will be measured in the M-POHL HLS24 project. Key messages • The advanced family of HL instruments used in the M-POHL HLS24 project enables comprehensive HL monitoring in Europe. • The data collected in HLS24 will provide a solid database for shaping public health policy to strengthen population HL and promote health equity in Europe.
