ABSTRACT Objective: to know the factors that exert an influence on the health professionals’ perception of the risk of becoming contaminated with COVID-19 in Brazil. Methods: a survey conducted from May to October 2020 with 436 active health professionals working in the front line against COVID-19. Descriptive analyses were used and a structural equation model from an exploratory factor analysis was estimated. Results: the health professionals' perception on contracting COVID-19 was considered as medium to very high for 72% of the respondents. In the structural equation model, knowledge of the treatment for COVID-19, preparation of the health professionals to work, and safety in the institutional protocol together with confidence in official protocols and disclosures through social, printed and television media exerted an influence on confidence to face the pandemic (P<0.05). This self-confidence along with the male gender were significant determinants (P<0.001) for the perception of the possibility of becoming contaminated. Conclusion: this study may contribute to the realization of strategies, public policies and guidelines that may impact on improving self-confidence and protecting the health professionals in their performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Electric Bike

To identify and quantify the factors that influence the risky riding behaviors of electric bike riders, we designed an e-bike rider behavior questionnaire (ERBQ) and obtained 573 valid samples through tracking surveys and random surveys. An exploratory factor analysis was then conducted to extract four scales: riding confidence, safety attitude, risk perception, and risky riding behavior. Based on the exploratory factor analysis, a structural equation model (SEM) of electric bike riding behaviors was constructed to explore the intrinsic causal relationships among the variables that affect the risky e-bike riding behavior. The results show that the relationship between riding confidence and risky riding behavior is mediated by risk perception and safety attitudes. Safety attitude was found to be significantly associated with risky riding behaviors. Specifically, herd mentality is most closely related to safety attitudes, which means that those engaged in e-bike traffic management and safety education should pay special attention to riders’ psychological management and education. Risk perception has a direct path to risky riding behaviors. Specifically, stochastic evaluation and concern degree are significantly related to e-bike riders’ risk perception. The findings of this study provide an empirical basis for the creation of safety interventions for e-bike riders in China.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh inovasi konsumen dengan beberapa faktor yang menjadi penentu niat berperilaku konsumen. Penelitian ini berupaya mengetahui pentingnya inovasi konsumen, dengan mempertimbangkan rasa terima kasih konsumen, citra restoran dalam berinovasi, dan kewajaran harga sebagai variabel mediasi. Penelitian ini merupakan survei. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Populasi penelitian adalah konsumen di wilayah Surakarta. Sampel ditentukan sebanyak 130 responden dengan metode convenience sampling, yaitu konsumen yang melakukan pembelian di SFA Steak & Resto Surakarta. Pengujian validitas menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), dan Cronbach’s Alpha untuk uji reliabilitas. Analisis data menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM) dengan program Amos. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inovasi konsumen berpengaruh terhadap ucapan terima kasih dan citra restoran, tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kewajaran harga; ucapan terima kasih berpengaruh terhadap kewajaran harga dan niat berperilaku; citra restoran berpengaruh terhadap kewajaran harga dan niat berperilaku; kewajaran harga tidak berpengaruh terhadap niat berperilaku. Implikasi penelitian hendaknya SFA Steak & Resto Surakarta perlu mempertimbangkan pembuatan menu-menu baru supaya semakin variatif pilihan konsumen, selain itu karyawan perlu mengucapkan terima kasih setelah memberikan pelayanan kepada konsumen.Kata kunci: inovasi konsumen, rasa terima kasih, kewajaran harga, citra restoran, dan niat berperilaku

This study was designed to determine the factors affecting hopelessness about the future of 10–12-year-old Turkish primary school students. Firstly, descriptive factor analysis was applied in order to determine the factors affecting hopelessness levels, then a structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to describe the relationship between the specified factors and hopelessness; these relationships were tested by LISREL 8.54. The results indicated that the preteenagers' level of hopelessness was adversely affected by support received from parents and friends. The hopelessness level was also significantly affected by the preteenagers' positive self-definition and parents' educational level.

The objective of this research is to be able to identify the organization silence attitudes of the employees working at the hotels being operated in the city of Rize. For this purpose, questionnaire was applied to 228 employees functioning at the hotels. The data obtained have been analyzed with LISREL program. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis oriented towards determining the organizational silence behaviors of those who have taken part in the survey, favorable significant differences have been identified among the factors of organizational silence behavior. In this context, it has been determined that the most effective variable of "I think that my managers would not listen to my ideas" at a rate of .84 on the factors of Managerial and Organizational Reasons; at a rate of .83 on the factor of the Work – Related Topics "Public speaking can lead to loss of my job" variable; at the rate of .84 on the factor of Lack of Experience of “Since my position I am in is a lower level, my notification of an idea is disregarded” variable; at a rate of .84 on the factor of Isolation Factor “Reporting an issue may reduce confidence and respect felt to me" and at a rate of .87 on the factor of Fear Regarding Harming the Relationships “When I tell the problems, my relationships are damaged” variable. In addition, it has been observed that the Work – Related Topics factor had an influence at the rate of .93 between the factors of Fear of Isolation and Fear of Damaging the Relationships and the factors of Lack of Experience and Fear of Damaging the Relationships had an impact at the rate of .93 between each other.

This article presents the results of the analysis of factors affecting quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam on the basis of the method of confirmation factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM). The results show that 25 factors, 6 goals, which are located in 5 criteria, are the most important for quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam. However, to be able to more fully reflect the results of the analysis, according to the data obtained from the survey, it is necessary to add 17 relationships. The results of the analysis also show that the model achieves convergence, discriminatory value and high reliability, but without unidirectionality.
