Clarifying the Impact of Social Escapism on Users’ Smartphone Addiction Based on Technology Acceptance Model

In the recent decades, smartphone addiction has been addressed its importance in daily life. With smartphones, people can use the Internet even more easily. People can also use smartphones at any time in any place. Nevertheless, the psychological causal variables for smartphone addiction are still not clear. Furthermore, people with low self-esteem are shown to reveal more personal information online for social compensation. It is also unclear what causes the social compensation. This study is therefore motivated to clarify users’ smartphone addiction based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). Survey method was adopted. Data of one hundred and seventy-one valid respondents who used smartphones were gathered online. Factor analysis and regression analysis were adopted for data analysis using SPSS 18.0. The regression path analysis results indicate that perceived escapism, increased by perceived enjoyment, significantly associates with users’ smartphone addiction. The results also show users’ different smartphone addiction patterns under different perceived usefulness of smartphones. The results facilitate users’ self-management of smartphone use via increasing perceived usefulness and the cure of smartphone addiction.

Creating effective visuals for destination marketing videos: Scenery vs people

By drawing from imagery and consumer choice theories, we examine how visuals of faces and social groups can foster behavioural intention and emotional effects in the case of nature tourism video marketing. We implemented an experimental study by creating three different videos with altering levels of human presence. Data were analysed using linear regression and partial least-squares path analysis methods. Unlike prior research had suggested, video content with fewer direct visuals of human beings was found to be more entertaining. Thus, scenery performed better than people as visuals in our destination marketing case. The visuals of faces and social groups had no effect on consumers’ behavioural intention or emotions, even if they did arouse feelings of social presence. Behavioural intention was mainly associated with entertainment value, while social presence had only a minor effect. Gender, nationality and outdoor activity also affected the media effects of videos, showing them to be complex and context-dependent phenomena.

How SMEs benefit from environmental sustainability strategies and practices

ABSTRACT There is considerable literature on sustainability, but studies that specifically address small and medium-sized business enterprises (SMEs) are limited. This paper addresses the gap in current quantitative research concerning the link between environmental sustainability and performance in SMEs. Stakeholder and neo-institutional theories and resource-based view are used as underpinnings to hypothesise relationships between relational motives, internal sustainable environmental strategies, and operational, economic, and environmental performance in SMEs. We statistically analyse survey data completed by a sample of 49 SMEs in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area by applying regression path analysis, bootstrapped with .95 CI (Bias Corrected and Accelerated) of 2000 samples on all regressions. The results show significant relationships between (1) the relational motives and sustainable internal environmental strategies and (2) sustainable internal environmental management strategies and operational, economic, and environmental performance in the sampled SMEs. Conclusions from the results, managerial and theoretical implications, limitations, and future research opportunities are discussed.

Associations between Sleep and Mental Health in Adolescents: Results from the UK Millennium Cohort Study.

(1) Background: There is a growing interest in investigating the relationship between sleep and mental health development in adolescents. This study aims to further investigate this relationship by identifying the specific associations between several sleep problems in adolescents and several mental health areas, and the role of gender in these associations. (2) Methods: Data from the Millennium cohort survey containing 11,553 individuals at 13–14 years old was included. Nighttime sleep duration and bedtime during weekdays and weekends, night awakening frequency, and sleep onset latency were assessed using self-reported questionnaires. Affective symptom and emotional and behavioural problems were examined with self-reported questionnaires. (3) Results: Regression analyses and path analysis models suggested that frequent night awakening was associated with all the outcomes, and hyperactivity/inattention was the outcome that presented a higher number of significant associations with sleep patterns. Long sleep onset latency and late bedtime at school days were associated with higher risk of emotional and behavioural difficulties. Further, poor sleep seems to manifest more externally in males, while more internally in females. (4) Conclusions: Specific sleep problems should be considered when assessing mental health in adolescence, which would allow more targeted prevention and intervention strategies. Further, special attention should be given to gender differences when addressing sleep and mental health.

Effect of Diabetes Distress and Self-care Activities on the Quality of Life of Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Structural Equation Model

Background: Diabetes has debilitating and dangerous effects on any of the vital organs in the body. Its impact on quality of life, as well as the variables that impact it, is of great importance. Objectives: This study was conducted to design a structural equation model of the effect of diabetes distress and self-care activities on the quality of life of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 398 patients with T2DM referred to medical centers affiliated with Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in 2020; they were selected by convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included the Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID) used to identify depression and emotional stress associated with diabetes, Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life 19 (ADDQoL-19) used to assess the physical, mental, and social status of patients, and Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities used to evaluate the self-care behaviors of diabetic patients. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, Hayes PROCESS macro version 3.5, and path analysis regression. Results: The mean scores of diabetes distress, self-care activities, and quality of life were 3.69 ± 12.39, 65.57 ± 12.11, and 56.94 ± 18.62, respectively. Path analysis regression showed that for every 1-unit increase in the score of diabetes distress, quality of life decreased by 0.249, and for every 1-unit increase in the score of self-care activities, quality of life increased by 0.183 (P < 0.001). Also, for every 1-unit increase in the score of self-care activities, diabetes distress increased by 0.138 (P < 0.006). Conclusions: This study showed that T2DM patients who engaged in more diabetes self-care activities had a higher health-related quality of life. Also, patients with higher levels of diabetes-specific emotional distress have a lower health-related quality of life. Training on identifying and reducing the factors affecting distress and those promoting self-care behaviors in diabetic patients is highly recommended.

Victimization in Childhood Influences Presenteeism in Adulthood via Mediation by Neuroticism and Perceived Job Stressors.

BackgroundVictimization in childhood profoundly influences the mental health of individuals in adulthood, causing depression, anxiety disorder, suicidality, and self-harm, which leads to productivity loss in the workplace, ie, presenteeism. However, the specific effects of victimization on presenteeism remain unclear. We hypothesized that victimization affects the presenteeism of workers through neuroticism and perceived job stressors and analyzed the association among these factors by path analysis.MethodsA questionnaire survey, including demographic and clinical data, Japanese versions of victimization scale in childhood, Brief Job Stress Questionnaire, and Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ), was administered to 443 adult volunteers between April 2017 and April 2018 in Tokyo, Japan. Multiple variables were analyzed by multiple regression analysis and path analysis. The Institutional Review Board of Tokyo Medical University approved this study.ResultsPath analysis demonstrated that neuroticism and perceived job stressors had direct effects on presenteeism in the WLQ. Victimization indirectly increased presenteeism via neuroticism and its subsequent effects on perceived job stressors. This model accounted for 18% of the variability of presenteeism (R2 = 0.180).LimitationsThere may be possible recall bias owing to the self-administration of the questionnaire. In addition, this study had a cross-sectional design, and hence the causal associations among variables should be validated in a prospective study.ConclusionThe present study indicates that the experience of victimization in childhood is a risk factor of adulthood presenteeism, and this effect is mediated by neuroticism and adverse effects on job stressors. These results suggest that multiple factors, including childhood victimization, neuroticism, and job stressors, should be considered when assessing and preventing presenteeism.

Do Visionary-Feedback Seeking CEOs Enhance Firm Sustainability Through Eco-Innovation? A Moderated Mediation Model.

Based on upper echelons, paradox, and social capital theory, this study extends the association of CEO vision articulation and feedback-seeking behavior with firm sustainability by identifying the mediating role of eco-innovation and top management team (TMT) boundary-spanning behavior as a moderator. By analyzing the data of mid-sized to large Chinese firms using hierarchical regression and bootstrapping-based moderated path analysis, we found that product and process eco-innovation mediates the link between CEO vision articulation and firm sustainability while CEO feedback-seeking behavior enhances firm’s sustainability through product eco-innovation only. Finally, conditional indirect effects show the vital role of TMT boundary-spanning behavior in facilitating CEOs to improve the firm’s long-term sustainability through eco-innovation.
