Abstract This study investigates the importance of fundamental elements of collaborative arrangements from the perspective of the actors operating in Brazilian science parks, and assesses whether these collaborative arrangements are found in the parks’ daily practices. Factor analysis identified ten variables considered most relevant, separated into three factors: (i) individual - commitment and motivation among actors; (ii) inter-organizational - interdependence between parties, the participation of all institutions in decision-making, the involvement of various institutions, and trust; and (iii) financial - funding sources and investments. Frequency analysis identified three elements of collaborative governance, although they are not highly prevalent in Brazilian science parks: commitment among actors, participation of all institutions in decision-making, and investment-related issues.

And Performance

"Even the best governance and public administration systems can fail because of lack of accountability. This paper reviews the factors likely to affect the accountability of the collaborative governance system and suggests concrete measures to ensure accountability. As an empirical case of collaborative governance, 300 Korean community centers were sampled by region and by size. Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted to identify the determinant factors for the accountability of collaborative governance. This analysis found the following factors to be the most important in ensuring accountability in a collaborative governance system: clarity of laws and regulations, representativeness of participants, transparency and democracy in the decision-making process, and performance management and incentive systems. The analysis also found that it is necessary to conceive different performance management and incentive systems for public and civil groups."

Animal lawyers in Australia and around the world often struggle to find room in law to participate in decision-making and give animals a voice. Collaborative governance is a regulatory mechanism that has the potential to overcome this struggle. This ‘new governance’ is of growing importance in environmental and natural resource management, premised on decentralised decision-making and removal of permanent hierarchies. This article will utilise two case studies to outline the benefits of legally integrated collaborative processes for wild animal welfare, including the allocation of a permanent voice in regulation for animal advocates and the ability to promote internalisation of animal-friendly norms.

Hierarchy Analysis

Research objective. To develop a model of students’ decision-making when individually choosing a sports section. Research methods: The study relies on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature, questionnaires, and factor analysis. The participants in the study were 55 first-year students (2015 enrollment year) of the School of Ukrainian Language and Literature of H.S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University. Research results. The analysis of the questionnaires showed diverse motivational choices. The factor analysis revealed the prevailing motifs. The study comes up with a hierarchical model of students’ choice of a training section by a particular sport, and determines the system of subjective values of each student in points. Conclusions. The model developed by the hierarchy analysis allows to take into account all the variants of priorities in the students’ motivational choice. The method of hierarchy analysis allows to objectively process the subjective advantages seen by the students (who do not have any sports experience) when choosing a training section in the opted-for sport. This, in its turn, cultivates a steady motivation for physical education, allows to determine the required number of sports sections, and to distribute the educational and sports facilities at the higher educational university.

We present the results of approbating the Decision Making Tendency Inventory (Misuraca et al., 2015) in the Russian sample (N=423, Mage= 25,01, SD = 9,63). The development of H. Simon’s satisficing theory in the current studies is considered. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the theoretical three-scale structure of the inventory. We describe the relations between maximizing, minimizing and satisficing scales and personal factors of decision-making, age, and education (its level and difficulty). The study demonstrates that maximizing and satisficing are close tendencies, implemented in case of making important effortful and resource-consuming (e.g., time-consuming) decisions, whereas minimizing is connected to withdrawal from effort and knowledge, avoidant strategies and ambiguity intolerance. The yielded results suggest that satisficing needs to be trained in conditions of high demands for the cognitive sphere such as studying in a higher education institution.

Research on the stress and loneliness felt by Hairdresser, their work immersion, and their effects on depression is as important as research on customer management and is essential for the efficient management of the beauty industry. Therefore, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were conducted to find out the relationship between work immersion and depression of beauty workers, and a total of 295 copies were used.The results of the study are as follows.First, as loneliness increases, work immersion decreases. Second, as loneliness increases, depression increases. In order to reduce loneliness, personal time should be secured through free communication and troubleshooting through Sns and beauty communities, rest time, holidays and monthly leave guarantees, and if these improve, work immersion will increase and depression will decrease.It is expected that subsequent research will continue with various variables through age diversification and segmentation of majors in the future.
