A Study of Business Student Choice to Study Abroad: A Test of the Theory of Planned Behavior

Kegiatan internasionalisasi pendidikan tinggi telah meningkat selama bertahun-tahun. Semakin banyak siswa di seluruh dunia yang tertarik untuk mengikuti program ini. Bagi universitas sebagai lembaga, program internasionalisasi memiliki dampak signifikan pada peningkatan akreditasi. Sementara itu, Program Study Abroad (Belajar di Luar Negeri), sebagai bagian dari internasionalisasi, memainkan peran penting karena memiliki dampak yang baik bagi siswa untuk mendapatkan peluang karir yang diharapkan setelah mereka lulus dari universitas. Masalahnya adalah rasio jumlah peserta program Study Abroad (Belajar di Luar Negeri), dari Indonesia masih relatif rendah dibandingkan dengan negara lain di tingkat ASEAN. Oleh karena itu, masalah dan cara mengatasinya merupakan topik penting dalam penelitian ini. Dalam penelitian ini, kami menggunakan kerangka teoritis dari Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), yang memprediksi niat untuk belajar di luar negeri. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Universitas Multimedia Nusantara, Tangerang, Indonesia. Hasilnya adalah bahwa dampak pentingnya terhadap sasaran karier, pengalaman dosen pada program Study Abroad (Belajar di Luar Negeri) dan dukungan keluarga memiliki niat positif untuk berpartisipasi siswa dalam studi di luar negeri.

Abstract. Faking has been a concern in selection research for many years. Many studies have examined faking in questionnaires while far less is known about faking in selection exercises with higher fidelity. This study applies the theory of planned behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991 ) to low- (interviews) and high-fidelity (role play, group discussion) exercises, testing whether the TPB predicts reported faking behavior. Data from a mock selection procedure suggests that candidates do report to fake in low- and high-fidelity exercises. Additionally, the TPB showed good predictive validity for faking in a low-fidelity exercise, yet not for faking in high-fidelity exercises.

Abstract. Heart transplantation is the treatment of choice for children with end-stage heart disease. Coronary artery vasculopathy is, however, a significant morbidity and leading cause of late graft loss, and hyperlipidemia a risk factor for its development. Improving diet in this population could have important benefits for patients. We wanted to understand what influences decisions about food intake in this patient group. Dietary intentions and behavior were examined using a questionnaire based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with 67 children who had undergone heart transplantation at least 12 months previously. The TPB model was significant for both healthy and unhealthy dietary behaviors, explaining 55% and 38% of the variance, respectively. Ten percent of children reported not eating any fruit and/or vegetables in the previous week and only 29% reported eating fruit and/or vegetables every day. The Theory of Planned Behavior provides a framework for explaining some specific dietary behaviors related to individual food groups in children who have undergone heart transplantation. These preliminary data support using this approach to inform the development of interventions to improve fruit and vegetable consumption but the approach may be less useful for explaining and developing interventions to reduce the consumption of unhealthy foods.
