The Association between Aspect of Family Communication Dimentions Beforehand, To, and Throughout The COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the Indonesian government implementing work-from-home and Distance Learning (PJJ) regulations that affect how people communicate with others, how close they feel to each other, and how they resolve family problems. This research aims to analyze the different types of communication within the family that influence the level of closeness and differences of opinion before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses quantitative research methods, collecting data through survey questionnaires and using Statistical Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) as the primary technique for data analysis. The results of this study show substantial changes in communication and conflict patterns in families before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, no significant differences were found before and during the pandemic in the relationship between family communication patterns and family intimacy, as well as between family intimacy and family conflict. Family intimacy is essential in mediating the relationship between family communication patterns and conflict. This study shows that increasing levels of family communication, characterized by a lack of understanding of the roles of individual family members and a focus on dialogical communication and equality, can give rise to disputes that weaken unity and harmony within the family unit. This research contributes to the field of family communication theory by showing the impact of external circumstances, such as a pandemic, on internal family dynamics.

Social responsibility and corporate image: a study in higher education institutions using structural equation modeling

The growing concern with issues related to the promotion of social responsibility principles is directly related to corporate image. As they are privileged training spaces, higher education institutions are environments in which everyday actions allow the incorporation of responsible practices that naturally develop a new social, moral, and ethical actions. In this sense, the present study aims to understand the type of influence that social responsibility exerts on the corporate image of higher education institutions. For that, quantitative research was carried out, using a structured questionnaire. Data processing occurred through the statistical structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, based on the covariance matrix (CM). The research findings offer relevant reflections for decision makers at higher education institutions, in the search for the improvement of methods that enlarge a good perception of the corporate image and aspects of social responsibility, contributing to create or strengthen these constructs that become differentials competitive in the sector, in addition to promoting social well-being.

An Internet of Things (IoT) Acceptance Model. Assessing Consumer’s Behavior toward IoT Products and Applications

A common managerial and theoretical concern is to know how individuals perceive Internet of Things (IoT) products and applications and how to accelerate adoption of them. The purpose of the current study is to answer, “What are the factors that define behavioral intention to adopt IoT products and applications among individuals?” An IoT adoption model was developed and tested, incorporating pull factors from two different information impact sources: technical and psychological. This study employs statistical structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to examine the conceptual IoT acceptance model. It is demonstrated that facilitated appropriation, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, as mediators, significantly influence consumers’ attitude and behavioral intention towards IoT products and applications. User character, cyber resilience, cognitive instrumentals, social influence and trust, all with different significance rates, exhibited an indirect effect, through the three mediators. The IoT acceptance model (IoTAM) upgrades current knowledge on consumers’ behavioral intention and equips practitioners with the knowledge needed to create successful integrated marketing tactics and communication strategies. It provides a solid base for examining multirooted models for the acceptance of newly formed technologies, as it bridges the discontinuity in migrating from information and communication technologies (ICTs) to IoT adoption studies, causing distortions to societies’ abilities to make informed decisions about IoT adoption and use.

Relationships between teachers’ technostress, technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), school support and demographic variables: A structural equation modeling

The proliferation of information technology products and services in learning environments as a result of rapid innovation leads to a greater requirement of meticulous planning in integration processes. In this regard, the burden placed upon teachers within their classroom increases. This phenomenon, referred to as technostress, has recently been studied extensively in terms of its causes and negative effects. However, there is not much research into factors that contribute to the alleviation of technostress of teachers. This study employs statistical structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to examine the causal relationships among certain variables that are thought to relieve technostress, over data collected from 349 in-service high school teachers in Turkey. Results of the modeling effort indicate that both school support and teachers’ technological-pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) negatively predict their technostress level.
