This study aims to analyze and obtain empirical evidence of deceptive behavior as a moderating variable of trust in purchasing through e-commerce purchase intentions. The data of this research were obtained from the results of collecting a questionnaire of 100 respondents who were consumers who had made transactions through e-commerce sites. Testing the hypothesis in this study using the measurement model (Outer Model) and structural models (Inner Model) with the application of Partial Least Square (PLS). The PLS program used is SmartPLS version 3.02.8. The results of this study indicate that trust has a positive effect on purchase intentions. However, with deceptive behavior as moderation, deceptive behavior weakens the relationship between trust in purchasing through E-Commerce and purchase intention as a mediating variable. Purchase intention is proven to be a mediating variable that mediates trust in mentally buying. The government should be more assertive in handling cases of e-commerce crime that are rife to create security and comfort for e-commerce site users.

Keselamatan merupakan isu pekerjaan yang penting untuk ditangani kerana implikasinya kepada organisasi.Kajian budaya keselamatan semakin meningkat di kebanyakan sektor pekerjaan. Bagaimanapun, kurangtumpuan kajian budaya keselamatan di sektor pendidikan terutamanya di Malaysia. Kajian ini dijalankanuntuk menguji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi budaya keselamatan di sektor pendidikan sebagaipenambahan sorotan literatur dalam kajian budaya keselamatan di tempat kerja. Satu tinjauan telahdijalankan di Kolej Vokasional (KV) seluruh Malaysia, yang merupakan salah satu institusi pendidikanteknik dan vokasional di Malaysia, melibatkan 380 pengajar dalam kursus teknologi kejuruteraan di KV.Analisis menggunakan perisian SmartPLS digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis kajian. Model pengukurantelah mengesahkan kebolehpercayaan dan kesahan lima faktor budaya keselamatan yang dikaji. Analisismodel berstruktur mendapati pengetahuan keselamatan merupakan pemboleh ubah peramal budayakeselamatan yang paling penting, diikuti oleh peraturan keselamatan, latihan keselamatan dan komunikasikeselamatan. Walau bagaimanapun, tiada hubungan yang signifi kan didapati antara komitmen pengurusandan budaya keselamatan di kalangan pengajar KV. Penguatkuasaan pematuhan Akta Keselamatan danKesihatan Pekerjaan 1994 di semua organisasi dalam sektor pendidikan oleh Kementerian PendidikanMalaysia dilihat sebagai satu langkah yang perlu untuk mencapai budaya keselamatan yang positif dalamsektor pendidikan. Kempen, bengkel dan latihan juga perlu dijalankan oleh kerajaan bagi meningkatkankesedaran tenaga pengajar/guru berkaitan budaya kerja yang selamat. Pihak pengurusan dan tenagapengajar/guru perlu memainkan peranan dan tanggungjawab masing-masing untuk memastikan objektifbudaya keselamatan dapat dicapai.   Safety is an important employment issue that needs to be tackled because of the implications it bringsto organizations.

A survey was conducted in Vocational Colleges (VC) all over Malaysia,as one of technical and vocational institution in Malaysian Education sector, involve 380 instructorsteaching in engineering technology courses at VC. Partial least square (PLS) analysis was employedin this study to test the research hypothesis. The measurement model resulted in fi ve factors of safetyculture which validity and reliability were confi rmed. The analysis on the structural model revealed thatsafety knowledge is the most signifi cant predictor of safety culture, followed by, safety regulations, safetytraining and safety communication. However, no signifi cant eff ect was found for management commitmenttowards safety culture among the instructors. Furthermore, in order to achieve a positive safety culturein education sector, the Ministry of Education needs to enforce a compliance of Occupational Safety andHealth Act 1994 at all organizations in education sector. Beside that, campaigns, workshops and alsotrainings need to be carried out by the government in order to increase instructors/teachers awarenessof safe work culture.

The objective of this study is to describe the influence of image and reputation on the competitiveness of a political party. This study uses a quantitative approach with explanatory survey method design, the entire community of West Java Province who has suffrage on the election is the population by taking 400 respondents for the samples, while the random multistage cluster is used as the sampling. Data analysis used in this study is descriptive and verification analyzes, while Partial Least Square (PLS) is used for the hypothesis test. The result shows that there is a significant positive influence of the independent variable of the image of a political party (X1) and variable of the reputation of a political party (X2) on the dependent variable, the competitiveness of political party (Y). We recommend that the image of a political party must be built continuously in order to build a high long-term reputation of the political party, and eventually, it will make the high competitiveness of the political party. It can be done through various programs for the community that could make public trust in political parties increase, for example, the policies made by the government altogether with the legislature must be in favor of the interests of the community. The limitation of this study is the marketing of politics. This is an earlier analysis result.

The Impact

Purpose The abolishment of the wine tax in Hong Kong has led to increased wine consumption and increased demand for wine-related professionals, such as sommeliers. Yet the importance of sommeliers’ value-adding performance in the context of upscale Chinese restaurants has not been examined. To address this gap, the SERVQUAL framework is adopted to examine the influence of sommeliers’ service quality (SQ) on customer satisfaction (CS) and loyalty in the context of upscale Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. Design/methodology/approach The survey method is used to collect data from 302 units of the population of interest, partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to test the links between constructs. Findings Four of the seven dimensions of sommeliers’ service quality, namely, empathy, tangibles, credibility and assurance, have a significant positive impact on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, whereas the impact of perceived value and responsiveness on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty is positive but only marginally significant. Reliability has a weak and non-significant impact on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Research limitations/implications Examining a small number of upscale Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong limits generalisation of the findings to other contexts. Replication of the research in different contexts will enhance generalizability. In terms of implications, the discussion highlights the importance of sommeliers’ service performance on customers’ SQ perceptions SQ, CS and loyalty, all of which are important variables for restaurateurs. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study of the influence of the quality of sommelier’s SQ on CS and loyalty in upscale Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. Given the lack of attention to this service role in the literature, the study contributes theory from which further understanding can develop.
