AbstractClimate seems to influence the spread of SARS-CoV-2, but the findings of the studies performed so far are conflicting. To overcome these issues, we performed a global scale study considering 134,871 virologic-climatic-demographic data (209 countries, first 16 weeks of the pandemic). To analyze the relation among COVID-19, population density, and climate, a theoretical path diagram was hypothesized and tested using structural equation modeling (SEM), a powerful statistical technique for the evaluation of causal assumptions. The results of the analysis showed that both climate and population density significantly influence the spread of COVID-19 (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01, respectively). Overall, climate outweighs population density (path coefficients: climate vs. incidence = 0.18, climate vs. prevalence = 0.11, population density vs. incidence = 0.04, population density vs. prevalence = 0.05). Among the climatic factors, irradiation plays the most relevant role, with a factor-loading of − 0.77, followed by temperature (− 0.56), humidity (0.52), precipitation (0.44), and pressure (0.073); for all p < 0.001. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that climatic factors significantly influence the spread of SARS-CoV-2. However, demographic factors, together with other determinants, can affect the transmission, and their influence may overcome the protective effect of climate, where favourable.

E-lifestyle behavior towards avoiding internet advertising needs to be known to design an advertisement on the internet, so that the tendency of avoiding internet advertising can be reduced.Therefore, research on e-lifestyle and internet advertising avoidance is needed which aims to find out the influence of each e-lifestyle on Internet advertising avoidance and the behavior of each e-lifestyle towards Internet advertising avoidance activities. The population of this study is Internet users. A sample of 200 Jakarta residents were selected by purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results obtained after the data were analyzed show that need-driven, interest-driven, entertainment-driven, sociability-driven, and novelty-driven influence the avoidance of Internet advertising. But Importance-driven and concern-driven e-lifestyle have no influence. In addition, entertainment-driven e-lifestyle has the largest factor loading value on average. This indicates that the majority of respondents are entertainment-driven in using the Internet everyday.

AbstractRecent studies have pointed out the effect of personality traits on athletes’ performance and success; however, fewer analyses have focused the relation among these features and specific athletic behaviors, skills, and strategies to enhance performance. To fill this void, the present paper provides evidence on what personality traits mostly affect athletes’ mental skills and, in turn, their effect on the performance of a sample of elite swimmers. The main findings were obtained by exploiting a component-based structural equation modeling which allows to analyze the relationships among some psychological constructs, measuring personality traits and mental skills, and a construct measuring sports performance. The partial least squares path modeling was employed, as it is the most recognized method among the component-based approaches. The introduced method simultaneously encompasses latent and emergent variables. Rather than focusing only on objective behaviors or game/race outcomes, such an approach evaluates variables not directly observable related to sport performance, such as cognition and affect, considering measurement error and measurement invariance, as well as the validity and reliability of the obtained latent constructs. The obtained results could be an asset to design strategies and interventions both for coaches and swimmers establishing an innovative use of statistical methods for maximizing athletes’ performance and well-being.

ABSTRACTThis study examined the antecedents and consequence of career plateau. Antecedents of career plateau are job tenure, age, job involvement and supervisor’s support. The consequence of career plateau is organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has three dimensions, namely affective organizational commitment, continuance organizational commitment and normative organizational commitment. This study examined the employees of the company/institution in Surabaya, Sidoarjo, Gresik and Mojokerto. The questionnaire was distributed to 110 respondents. Respondents who return the questionnaire were 107 respondents. The next step, the researchers tested the validity and reliability of the variables consisting of affective organizational commitment, continuance organizational commitment, normative organizational commitment, career plateau, job involvement and supervisor’s support. All the variables have good reliability and validity. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the antecedents and consequence of career plateau. The results of SEM using Amos shows that the effect of job involvement and supervisor’s support on career plateau accepted. In addition, the influence of career plateau on organizational commitment are also accepted. Unfortunately, the effects of job tenure and age on the career plateau rejected. ABSTRAKSIPenelitian ini menguji hubungan anteseden serta konsekuensi dan karir plateau. Anteseden dari karir plateau terdiri dari lama bekerja, umur, keterlibatan dalam bekerja serta dukungan penyelia. Konsekuensi dari karir plateau adalah komitmen organisasi. Komitmen organisasi ini memiliki tiga dimensi, yaitu komitmen organisasi afektif, komitmen organisasi kontinyu, serta komitmen organisasi normatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan karyawan di Surabaya, Sidoarjo, serta Mojokerto sebagai sampel penelitian. Kuisioner disampaikan kepada 110 responden dan yang kembali serta terisi sebanyak 107 kuisioner. Langkah selanjutnya peneliti melakukan uji validitas dan reliabilitas atas variabel-variabel. Hasilnya adalah semua variabel valid dan reliabel.
