Abstract Entrepreneurial Personality (EP) is a collection of personality traits that broadly and strongly relate to entrepreneurial outcomes across most contexts. The goal of the current article is to address present uncertainties surrounding EP by identifying its dimensions and assessing their relations with entrepreneurial outcomes. Our systematic literature review demonstrates that seven dimensions are commonly used to represent EP: innovativeness, risk-taking, achievement orientation, locus of control, proactiveness, self-efficacy, and autonomy orientation. Via meta-analytic structural equation modeling, we find support for a one-factor model composed of these seven dimensions, suggesting that they indeed represent a unitary construct. Our meta-analysis also supports that EP and its dimensions consistently produce significant relations with entrepreneurial attitudes, intent, status, and performance. EP is thereby supported as an important component of successful entrepreneurial endeavors, and our meta-analytic results provide clear criteria for determining the inclusion of dimensions within the construct of EP – which our seven identified dimensions satisfy.

And Performance

The predictors of objectively measured sales performance were assessed with 245 sales representatives from a large South African life insurance company. Sales representatives completed measures of their locus of control, entrepreneurial attitudes, biographical history, and performance was assessed from company records of sales, net commissions earned, and lapse ratios. The nature of employment contract, job status, and race explained significant differences in performance outcomes. The predictive nature of locus of control and entrepreneurial attitudes for performance outcomes was tested using structural equation modeling procedures, with limited validity. The implications for research and practice are also discussed.

Purpose This study aims to examine the current state of literature on structural equation modeling (SEM) studies in “cloud computing” domain with respect to study domains of research studies, theories and frameworks they use and SEM models they design. Design/methodology/approach Systematic literature review (SLR) protocol is followed. In total, 96 cloud computing studies from 2009 to June 2018 that used SEM obtained from four databases are selected, and relevant data are extracted to answer the research questions. Findings A trend of increasing SEM usage over years in cloud studies is observed, where technology adoption studies are found to be more common than the use studies. Articles appear under four main domains, namely, business, personal use, education and health care. Technology acceptance model (TAM) is found to be the most commonly used theory. Adoption, intention to use and actual usage are the most common selections for dependent variables in SEM models, whereas security and privacy concerns, costs, ease of use, risks and usefulness are the most common selections for causal factors. Originality/value Previous cloud computing SLR studies did not focus on statistical analysis method used in primary studies. This review will display the current state of SEM studies in cloud domain for all future academics and practical professionals.

The structure dimensions and the interactions of new product development performance have stimulated debate lasting many years. To synthesize accumulating research findings, meta-analytic structural equation modeling was employed. Product advantage, time efficiency, cost efficiency and product success were used to measure the performance based on past literature. The correlation matrix of four performance variables was included in the meta-analysis based on 44 studies. The results of structural equations modeling show that the one-factor model is proposed as best-fitting alternative model of NPD performance, and the internal performance including product advantage, time and cost efficiency variables are positively associated with external performance.

In this paper, we analyze the progress of tourism towards sustainability and innovation through a systematic literature review summarizing the last five years of research strictly focused on innovation and sustainability applied to tourism. This research comprises a range of theories, practices, methods, and results pursuing innovation and sustainability across different levels, stages, and drivers, and in many tourism contexts. Wide, in-depth, and structured analysis, evaluation, and examination (using the PRISMA and VOSviewer tools) of a final sample of 50 scholarly papers from 27 journals, published between 2017 and the first quarter of 2021, were undertaken. Current publications emphasize qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research methods, as well as statistical and econometric methods, such as descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. This study categorizes the four major topics identified, sustainability, innovation, sustainable development, and sustainable tourism, which comprised the contextual dimensions and relevant stages of the subject areas examined. This systematic literature review highlights advances and the significantly increasing overall number of papers over recent years. Currently, sustainability is in a more advanced state compared to innovation. The outcomes highlight that the indicators of sustainability and innovation still need further analysis within the tourism context. However, more concrete process indicators are needed for continuous improvement of the front-end of innovation and sustainable tourism. The results help in better understanding the sustainability and innovation process as applied to tourism. In particular, this study explores further direct linkages between sustainability and innovation and tourism, discussing and providing new future directions aligned with the closing remarks as well as a strategic agenda for future action post-COVID-19.

Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή εντάσσεται στο θεματικό πεδίο των Πληροφοριακών Συστημάτων και αντικείμενό της είναι η μελέτη και η διερεύνηση της υιοθέτησης της υπολογιστικής νέφους (cloud computing) στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση. Αρχικά αναλύεται η έννοια του cloud computing, τα χαρακτηριστικά του και τα οφέλη από τη χρήση του, τα πλεονεκτήματα-μειονεκτήματά του, καθώς και τα μοντέλα με τα οποία παρέχεται (μοντέλα υπηρεσίας και μοντέλα ανάπτυξης). Στη συνέχεια, εξετάζεται το ζήτημα της υιοθέτησης του cloud computing στο δημόσιο τομέα, οι προκλήσεις που υπάρχουν αλλά και τα αναμενόμενα οφέλη, καθώς και ο ρόλος του cloud computing στον ανασχεδιασμό των υποδομών ΤΠΕ και στον ψηφιακό μετασχηματισμό του δημοσίου τομέα, ενώ αναλύεται και η διαδικασία της απόφασης για υιοθέτηση του cloud computing σε δημόσιους οργανισμούς. Επίσης, παρουσιάζονται ενδεικτικές πρωτοβουλίες για την υιοθέτηση του cloud computing στο δημόσιο τομέα, οι οποίες έχουν υλοποιηθεί τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και σε άλλες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες, και αντλούνται χρήσιμα συμπεράσματα. Ακολούθως, εντοπίζονται τα μοντέλα για τη μελέτη της υιοθέτησης του cloud computing που χρησιμοποιούνται στη βιβλιογραφία και κατηγοριοποιούνται σε μοντέλα που βασίζονται σε επίπεδα, σε μοντέλα που βασίζονται σε βήματα-στάδια, σε μοντέλα που βασίζονται σε συστατικά και σε εννοιολογικά-θεωρητικά μοντέλα. Στη συνέχεια, μέσω συστηματικής ανασκόπησης της βιβλιογραφίας (systematic literature review - SLR), συλλέγεται, κωδικοποιείται και αναλύεται η βιβλιογραφία που αναφέρεται στην υιοθέτηση του cloud computing με χρήση εννοιολογικών-θεωρητικών μοντέλων, τόσο στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση και τον ευρύτερο δημόσιο τομέα όσο και στον ιδιωτικό τομέα, με σκοπό την όσο το δυνατόν πληρέστερη εξαγωγή χρήσιμων και αξιοποιήσιμων συμπερασμάτων, καθώς οι μελέτες για υιοθέτηση του cloud computing στο δημόσιο τομέα και ειδικότερα στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση είναι περιορισμένες. Μέσα από τη συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας εντοπίζονται κενά και περιοχές προς επέκταση στην υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία, ενώ παράλληλα αναπτύσσεται το κατάλληλο και τεκμηριωμένο θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο για το σχεδιασμό του μοντέλου της εμπειρικής έρευνας της διατριβής. Το μοντέλο αποτελεί ένα συνδυασμό των διεθνώς αναγνωρισμένων και καθιερωμένων μοντέλων TOE, DOI και TAM και περιλαμβάνει πλήθος παραγόντων που επηρεάζουν την υιοθέτηση του cloud computing στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση, καθώς και τις αντίστοιχες ερευνητικές υποθέσεις. Βάσει του προτεινόμενου μοντέλου, πραγματοποιήθηκε πρωτογενής έρευνα σε όλους τους Δήμους της Ελλάδας (325) μέσω ηλεκτρονικού ερωτηματολογίου και το ποσοστό των απαντήσεων ανήλθε στο ιδιαιτέρως υψηλό ποσοστό του 65%. Η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων της έρευνας πραγματοποιήθηκε σε δύο στάδια-επίπεδα: α) στην ανάλυση με χρήση περιγραφικής στατιστικής και β) στην ανάλυση με χρήση μοντελοποίησης διαρθρωτικών εξισώσεων (structural equation modeling – SEM) για τον έλεγχο της εγκυρότητας, της αξιοπιστίας και της εν γένει καταλληλότητας του μοντέλου, αλλά και τον έλεγχο των ερευνητικών υποθέσεων. Μέσω της ανάλυσης αυτής εξετάζονται οι παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν την υιοθέτηση του cloud computing στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση, ελέγχονται οι ερευνητικές υποθέσεις που τέθηκαν κατά το σχεδιασμό του μοντέλου και συγκρίνονται με αποτελέσματα άλλων ερευνών. Τέλος, με βάση τα συμπεράσματα από την ανασκόπηση και την ανάλυση της βιβλιογραφίας, αλλά και σύμφωνα με την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων της εμπειρικής έρευνας, διατυπώνονται χρήσιμα συμπεράσματα και προτάσεις, τόσο για την περαιτέρω επιστημονική διερεύνηση του θέματος όσο και για την υιοθέτηση του cloud computing στην τοπική αυτοδιοίκηση και στους δήμους της Ελλάδας, αλλά και στον ευρύτερο δημόσιο τομέα.

The present paper reexamines the psychometric properties of the Quality Perception Questionnaire (QPQ), an Italian survey instrument measuring patients’ perceptions of the quality of a recent hospital admission experience, in a sample of 4400 patients (Mage = 56.42 years; SD = 19.71 years, 48.8% females). The 14-item survey measures four factors: satisfaction with medical doctors, nursing staff, auxiliary staff, and hospital structures. First, we tested two models using a confirmatory factor analysis (structural equation modeling): a four orthogonal factor and a four oblique factor model. The SEM fit indices and the χ² difference suggested the acceptance of the second model. We then did a simulation using a bootstrap with 1000 replications. Results confirmed the four oblique factor solution. Third, we tested whether there were significant differences with respect to age or sex. The multivariate general linear model showed no significant differences in the factors with respect to sex or age.

Three Factor

This research is new in its attempt to take future time orientation, morningness orientation, and prospective memory as measures of mental prospection, and to examine a three-factor model that assumes working memory, mental prospection, and cognitive insight are independent but related higher-order cognitive constructs by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The three-factor model produced a good fit to the data. An alternative one-factor model was tested and rejected. The results suggest that working memory and cognitive insight are distinguishable, related constructs, and that both are distinct from, but negatively associated with, mental prospection. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that working memory had a strong positive effect on cognitive insight and a moderate negative effect on mental prospection.
