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.

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 Relationship

This article aims to explore the relationships between destination attractions, tourists’ awareness of eco-tourism and facilities, level of perceived service, opportunities and problems, and tourist satisfaction in backwater tourism in Kerala, India. Using a structured survey instrument, we gathered data from 586 tourists. A conceptual model was developed and tested after checking the psychometric properties of the instrument. We tested the measurement model using the Lisrel package (structural equation modeling), and Hayes (2018) process macros were used to test the moderation hypotheses. The results confirm that (i) attraction and opportunities are positively related to tourist satisfaction, (ii) perception of service positively moderates the relationship between attraction and tourist satisfaction, (iii) perception of service (first moderator) and awareness (second moderator) interact to influence the relationship between attraction and tourist satisfaction, and (iv) problems negatively moderate the positive relationship between opportunities and tourist satisfaction. The implications for the literature on tourism and hospitality and practicing managers are discussed.

Student Burnout

AbstractStudent burnout is a serious problem in higher education. It is associated with harmful consequences, such as decreased engagement, performance, and motivation, which can lead to dropout. The job demand-resource model of burnout is a comprehensive framework to grasp the factors related to the emergence of burnout. Although numerous studies claim its suitability in explaining burnout in work environments, its applicability in the educational context is less explored. The study aimed to analyze the structure and reliability of the newly developed University Demand-Resource Questionnaire (UDRQ) and to explore the links between its subscales and symptoms of student burnout. Using the online survey method, 743 Hungarian undergraduate students participated in the data collection. The student version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory was used in addition to the UDRQ. In the data analysis procedure, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling were utilized. The confirmatory factor analysis identified a five-factor structure related to both demands and resources. Correlation analysis revealed burnout to be associated positively to the subscales of demands and negatively to resources. Structural equation modeling analysis indicated that all five demands and two resources subscales can be used to build a model that predicts a significant proportion of the variance of student burnout scores. The findings suggest the demand-resource theory is an appropriate framework to predict burnout in higher education. The newly developed UDRQ has stable structure and good reliability and can be a useful tool in subsequent research related to student burnout.

Undergraduate Thesis

Purpose The covid-19 pandemic that hit the world has caused several changes in the higher education service sector, including the implementation of the undergraduate thesis examination, where direct interaction between students and examiners is avoided and replacing it with an online bachelor thesis exam. This study aims to develop a conceptual model regarding the variables that can affect student satisfaction with the quality of the implementation of online undergraduate thesis examinations in higher education. Design/methodology/approach The research instrument consisted of 22 survey questions distributed to 583 students taking the thesis trial examination in the even semester of 2019/2020 who came from 12 different study programs. Factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted to analyze the validity of the instrument and test the hypothesis. The results of the analysis show that the 22 instrument items used have been determined by sufficient variables to check the structure of each. Findings SEM analysis results show that the three hypothesized variables (study program service, examiner performance and quality of video conference applications) positively and significantly affect the level of student satisfaction with the online undergraduate thesis examination 0.187, 0.177 and 0.177, respectively. The total effect of these three factors is 0.737. Research limitations/implications This finding is a reference for those who want to improve the quality of the online undergraduate thesis examination in higher education. Originality/value As the online thesis examination was implemented in higher education in Indonesia as a result of the implementation of the study and work at home policy by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, it is important to conduct research on the implementation of online thesis exams in Indonesia, especially to study the conceptual model of variables affect student satisfaction with the implementation of the online thesis exam. Because even though the implementation of online thesis exams on a large scale is new to some higher education in Indonesia.

This article examines the effects of job insecurity on employees’ financial well-being and work satisfaction. Based on a literature review on financial well-being, we proposed that financial well-being consists of two categories: personal financial well-being and family financial well-being. We developed a theoretical model that links job insecurity to employees’ personal and family financial well-being, and then to employees’ work satisfaction. Data were collected from 334 Chinese pink-collar workers in Macao. Results of the structural equation modeling showed that job insecurity negatively and significantly influenced employees’ personal financial well-being whereas employees’ personal financial well-being positively and significantly influenced work satisfaction directly and indirectly through employees’ family financial well-being. However, the direct relationships between job insecurity and employees’ family financial well-being and between job insecurity and work satisfaction were not significant.
