This research evaluates the effects of normative beliefs toward citizen engagement on eParticipation. Normative beliefs herein were assessed from the perspectives of citizenship norms, which include engaged-citizenship norms and duty-based norms, as well as the perspective of subjective norms, namely civic norms. A questionnaire was devised as the research instrument, and a survey was conducted as a means for data collection. The respondents were citizens who reside in the Greater Jakarta Region, in Indonesia, whom have had previous experiences with eParticipation. A total of 172 valid responses were collected in this study. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equational Modeling (PLS-SEM), aided with SmartPLS 3 as a tool. The research results confirmed that perceived public value and perceived public satisfaction both concertedly shape citizens’ engagement in eParticipation. Furthermore, perceived public value as a pre-transactional norm also served as an antecedent to the post-transactional norm of perceived public satisfaction. The results also revealed that perceived public value was affected by a sole citizenship norm, namely, duty-based norm. Additionally, perceived public satisfaction was not affected by neither engaged-citizenship norm nor duty-based norm. Conversely, civic norms showed significant effects on both perceived public value and perceived public satisfaction.

The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is the greatest leader of all times and he is an exemplary example of the best governmental leaders that is ever witnessed by the world and even after his death, his influence is still extending, powerful and pervasive. This paper is aimed at examining the factors determining the willingness to adopt Islamic leadership styles among Malaysian accountants in which five variables which are attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, perceived vicegerency, and perceived accountability personality are examined. Partial least squares (PLS) approach is employed to test the research hypotheses. The results obtained suggest that attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and perceived vicegerency are important in determining the willingness to adopt Islamic leadership styles among Malaysian accountants. Limitations and potential future research are provided

The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between supply chain linkage and business performance in the lychee supply chain in Vietnam. The study collected 395 matched samples after sample screening. Partial least squares (PLS) algorithm is used to process the data. Research results show a link between supply chain linkage and business performance. Furthermore, research shows that risk supply chain, quality management, and business strategy also impact supply chain linkages and business performance.

This study aims to find out how the management of parking fees is managed by the transportation agency, starting from payments made by users of parking services to parking attendants, depositing to collection officers, receipt of treasurers then depositing to the city government so that it can be called city PAD (Regional Revenue) palangkaraya and contributions especially parking. The method used is a qualitative method, the research carried out is a descriptive study where the Department of Transportation and Office of Regional Original Revenue were chosen as the location of the study. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results and discussion can be concluded that the implementation of the policy has not been maximized. This is because there are still some obstacles that hamper parking retribution faced by Palangka Raya Parking Area Revenues, especially in terms of collecting parking fees.


The goal of this chapter is a quantitative analysis of the research models and the research hypotheses developed in Chapter 4. In a first step, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) methodology as applied in this research and a set of quality criteria to evaluate PLS models are introduced. Then, the surveys conducted—“Recruiting Trends 2007 and 2009”—are presented with details on the process in focus, the construct operationalizations used, as well as the data collection and evaluation carried out. Finally, the results of the survey are presented.

Gemeinhin gilt die Annahme, dass das Controlling für viele deutsche Unternehmen auch oder besonders in der Produktentwicklung von großer Bedeutung ist und vor allem unter Umfeldunsicherheit ein wesentlicher Erfolgsfaktor sein kann. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt unter Anwendung einer für die Controlling-Forschung neuartigen Methode zur Schätzung von Mischverteilungen mittels partieller Regressionen (englisch finite mixture partial least squares [FIMIX-PLS]), ob diese Annahme für alle Unternehmen gleichermaßen gilt.

Napjainkban egyre nagyobb igény mutatkozik olyan technológiák és módszerek kidolgozására és alkalmazására, melyek lehetővé teszik a gyors, költséghatékony és környezetbarát talajadat-felvételezést és kiértékelést. Ezeknek az igényeknek felel meg a reflektancia spektroszkópia, mely az elektromágneses spektrum látható (VIS) és közeli infravörös (NIR) tartományában (350–2500 nm) végzett reflektancia-mérésekre épül. Figyelembe véve, hogy a talajokról felvett reflektancia spektrum információban nagyon gazdag, és a vizsgált tartományban számos talajalkotó rendelkezik karakterisztikus spektrális „ujjlenyomattal”, egyetlen görbéből lehetővé válik nagyszámú, kulcsfontosságú talajparaméter egyidejű meghatározása. Dolgozatunkban, a reflektancia spektroszkópia alapjaira helyezett, a talajok ösz-szetételének meghatározását célzó módszertani fejlesztés első lépéseit mutatjuk be. Munkánk során talajok szervesszén- és CaCO3-tartalmának megbecslését lehetővé tévő többváltozós matematikai-statisztikai módszerekre (részleges legkisebb négyzetek módszere, partial least squares regression – PLSR) épülő prediktív modellek létrehozását és tesztelését végeztük el. A létrehozott modellek tesztelése során megállapítottuk, hogy az eljárás mindkét talajparaméter esetében magas R2értéket [R2(szerves szén) = 0,815; R2(CaCO3) = 0,907] adott. A becslés pontosságát jelző közepes négyzetes eltérés (root mean squared error – RMSE) érték mindkét paraméter esetében közepesnek mondható [RMSE (szerves szén) = 0,467; RMSE (CaCO3) = 3,508], mely a reflektancia mérési előírások standardizálásával jelentősen javítható. Vizsgálataink alapján arra a következtetésre jutottunk, hogy a reflektancia spektroszkópia és a többváltozós kemometriai eljárások együttes alkalmazásával, gyors és költséghatékony adatfelvételezési és -értékelési módszerhez juthatunk.
