Abstract. The present study examines determinants of suspense on viewers observing sports on television. As an explanatory framework, an integrated model is proposed, linking the concept of (positive and negative) parasocial relationships (PSR) to the concept of affective dispositions as used in the affective disposition theory of drama. In the context of the popular sport of “Formula 1” racing, the hypothesized causal structure of the formation of suspense was tested in an empirical survey study. A structural equation model was calculated. Results show a significant influence of positive forms of PSR toward a favorite driver, either mediated by viewers' hopes for a positive outcome or influenced directly by the experienced level of suspense. While negative forms of PSR toward a disliked driver affect viewers' hopes for a negative outcome, they do not add to the level of suspense.

Practical Implications

This study is aimed at figuring out the effects of major selecting motivation on dropout, academic achievement, and major satisfactions of college students majoring in foodservice and culinary arts. To accomplish this, an empirical survey was conducted through a structural equation model. These findings showed that students are likely to drop out of college due to a career change or major maladjustment if they decide their major in consideration of college reputation or department recognition rather than their aptitude. Unlike existing studies, this study has practical implications concerning the importance of these factors in that their academic achievement is affected by their relationship and perception of their major satisfactions rather than their major selection motivations.

The Impact

Purpose Limitations of producing energy and the increasing demands in the electricity market in Iran have not only drawn the attention of authorities in the energy industry toward optimization of energy consumption, but also created marketing approaches toward these objectives. In this respect, it is important and even necessary to modify energy consumption behaviors. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the criteria of an effective Internet advertisement for modification of energy consumption. Design/methodology/approach To provide a detailed understanding of customers’ perceptions of energy consumption advertising, a survey study was conducted. The research model is first validated and the formulated hypotheses are tested using the structural equation model (SEM). Findings The results showed that the audience’s attention, interest and desire for a piece of advertisement can predict their consumption behavior. Originality/value This study is one of the pioneer studies that highlights the importance of advertising toward modification of energy consumption. It seems that, the identification of the causal relations among attention, interest, desire and action, has not yet been clearly validated in the previous literature. This research contributes to the literature by developing and testing a comprehensive research model using SEM. So, the current paper offers vital guidelines to social marketers who are planning to modify energy consumption.

The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of attitude in accounting students to the intention to choose an accounting career. It was through the intention to increase current knowledge as an intervening variable. This research used a survey online method to test the research model, which was responded by a total of 503 accounting students across Java. Data analysis and hypothesis testing used partial least square as part of the structural equation model technique. According to their ages, the respondents were famous as the millennial generation in this era. The results of this research are in accordance with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). It is proven that attitudes have a positive and significant influence on the intentions of accounting students in terms of increasing current knowledge and choosing accounting careers. This research also supports the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT). There is evidence that educational background and learning experience can increase the intention of accounting students to pursue careers in accounting. The existence of different generations leads to different perceptions of students regarding accounting careers. Therefore, further research is needed to identify these differences. The results also suggest that accounting educators need to update their curriculum by adapting the current development and demands of graduates. Last, the rapid development of technology has had a significant influence on the accounting profession.

Police Integrity

The research investigates organisational structure as a mediating variable that influences the transformational leadership and the work satisfaction of police integrity in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Central Java Regional Police Command. Police integrity is an important phenomenon, as it is the foundation for realising trusted, modern, and professional police personnel, as expected by the Indonesian National Police (INP). The number of samples in this research was 200 police members from 10 working units in the Central Java Regional Police Command. The sampling method was purposively random sampling. The Structural Equation Model Analysis (SEM) was used to test the influence of the transformational leadership and work satisfaction by placing organisational culture as a mediating variable against police integrity. By the SEM analysis, this research found that police work satisfaction has influence over organizational culture (r= 0.49; p< 005), and the transformational leadership has significant influence over organizational culture (r= 0.37; p< 0.05). Organizational culture as a mediating variable has significant influence over police integrity (r= 0.26; p< 0.05). Furthermore, leadership has significant influence over police integrity (r= 0.39; p< 005), and work satisfaction has direct influence over police integrity (r= 0.24; p< 0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that the transformational leadership and work satisfaction have strong indirect influence over organisational culture as a mediating variable against police integrity. Meanwhile, work satisfaction has weak direct influence (r=0.24; p<0.05) over police integrity.

This study aims to analyze the effect of product quality, price perception, brand image and promotion on customer satisfaction to achieve repurchase intention’s Fiesta chicken Nugget in Jakarta, Indonesia. This study uses Non Probability Sampling and purposive sampling methods with a total of 190 respondents. Data analysis of this study is carried out by structural equation model (SEM) analysis using Lisrel 8.8. The findings show that each independent variable namely product quality, price perception, brand image and promotion has a positive and significant influence on customer satisfaction as intervening variable. Customer satisfaction as intervening variable has a positive and significant influence on repurchase intention as dependent variable. The product quality has the biggest influence among the four independent variables on customer satisfaction. It is recommended that companies should focus on increasing the value of product quality and product price adjustments to increase customer satisfaction and the company should pay more intention to promotion and improve brand image for the better. Further research by conducting research on other variables with a larger sample is also recommended.

Summary Prior work has shown that causal structure can be uniquely identified from observational data when these follow a structural equation model whose error terms have equal variance. We show that this fact is implied by an ordering among conditional variances. We demonstrate that ordering estimates of these variances yields a simple yet state-of-the-art method for causal structure learning that is readily extendable to high-dimensional problems.
