Tourists are confronted with congestion caused by concentrated travel during public holidays. In order to guide tourists to make voluntary changes regarding their travel times during holidays, this paper focuses on exploring holiday rush-hour avoidance travel behavior (HRATB) considering psychological factors. First, based on the theory of planned behavior, the effects of psychological factors including attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control on holiday avoidance travel intention and behavior were quantitatively analyzed by the structural equation model. Second, according to those three subjective psychological factors and the three objective factors of age, monthly income, and tourist group, the segmentation method of the latent class model was adopted to explore tourists' preferences with regard to HRATB. Finally, an empirical analysis was carried out through questionnaire data. The results show that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control have significant impacts on intention and behavior with regard to holiday avoidance travel. There are significant differences in psychological observation variables such as rush-hour avoidance travel intention, attitude and subjective norm among the four segments of tourists, and cost sensitivity. In addition, this paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions for the four types of tourists. Conclusions provide a theoretical basis for formulating travel measures to attract different types of tourists.

Global climate change arouses people’s attention to environmental protection and, therefore, changes consumption habits. Food overconsumption not only produces extra waste but also pollutes the environment. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that motivate people to eat green, an eco-friendly way to consume food. To keep the body in good shape, the fitnessers concern more about diet than the general people. This study explored intrinsic motivations, such as social recognition, environmental ethics, curiosity, joy of purchase, perceived usefulness, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control as constructs that affect fitnesser’s green eating intention. All constructs except curiosity have significant impacts on behavior intention. The results demonstrate that social recognition and environmental ethics have significant effects on curiosity, joy of purchase, perceived usefulness, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control. The mediation effects between social recognition and behavior intention are not supported. The mediators between environmental ethics and behavior intention are joy of purchase, perceived usefulness, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control.

The purpose of this study is to understand fashion consumers’ channel switching to online stores during the COVID-19. We proposed an extended theory of planned behavior by incorporating protection motivation theory. The results showed that consumer assessments of perceived severity and altruistic fear of COVID-19 and response efficacy and self-efficacy of channel switching increased their beliefs (i.e., attitude, perceived behavior control, subjective norm) and intentions to switch shopping channels to online. We also found that the age (young vs. old) moderated the effects of response efficacy and self-efficacy on perceived behavior control, perceived severity on subjective norm, perceived behavior control on channel switching intentions, and channel switching intention on actual switching behavior. The findings provide fashion retailers and the society with a better understanding about fashion consumers’ shopping channel switching under the pandemic.

The youth from Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as the main body of science and technology innovation, is the core driving force for Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to become an international innovation and entrepreneurship base. Based on the TPB, this paper analyzes the mediating effects of entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control, and establishes a structural equation model, to explore the mechanism and path of the impact of the entrepreneurial environment on the entrepreneurial will of the youth in the bay area. This paper finds that these three dimensions of the TPB play multiple mediating roles in the path of the impact of the entrepreneurial environment on the entrepreneurial will, and it has a completely mediating effect, that is, the entrepreneurial environment influences the entrepreneurial will by influencing personal attitude, perceptual behavior control and subjective norm. Therefore, in the future, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area government should enhance the entrepreneurship willingness of the young people in the three places through preferential policies for starting businesses, open channels for innovation and business start-up information, and deepening the openness and innovation of the institutional mechanism of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

Many cashless payment tools have been introduced to Indonesia market in the form of cards to electronic money. Sharia compliance-credit card is one of traditional electronic payment tools that are provided by only two Islamic finance institutions among many in Indonesia. The increase of Sharia compliance-credit card transactions from time to time may lead banks to be exposed to non-performing risk. Customers’ behaviors are varying in utilizing Sharia compliance-credit card, and their behavior may cause unpredicted results on card’s performance. Therefore, the purposes of this study are: 1) To identify the behavior of Sharia compliance-credit card’s users and 2) To analyze the factors influencing the behavior of Sharia compliance-credit card’s users. Primary data is gathered through distributing questionnaires with a total sample of 170 respondents. The data is analyzed by employing Structural Equation Modeling. This research shows that gender, age, and education influence perceived behavior control; and, expenditure influences subjective norms. Customers’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control are proven to influence customer intentions, where customers’ intentions, perceived behavior control, and income influence customers’ behavior towards using Sharia compliance-credit card. For further sustainable inclusive growth, the issuers should pay attention on education for specific audiences.
