Amplified energy demand due to technologically advanced electrical and electronic appliances has accentuated the importance of energy efficiency to overcome energy shortage and environmental concerns. As adoption of energy efficient appliances depends on perception of the consumers, this study focuses on behavioral exploration of the consumers’ intentions towards the purchase of energy efficient appliances using an extended model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The study is based on a survey comprising 289 respondents. Partial least square (PLS) method is used to analyze the data. The results show that the attitude, perceived behavioral control, policy information campaigns, and past-purchase experiences significantly impact behavioral intentions of the consumers, whereas subjective and moral norms are insignificant in shaping behavioral intentions. Based on analyses, policy implications emphasizing (i) strong awareness campaigns, (ii) energy efficiency incentives, and (iii) replacement initiatives are proposed to help policy makers and administrators in achieving required goals of energy efficiency and conservation. The proposed research model and policy initiatives are a blueprint for synergies among policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in understanding and shaping consumers’ behaviors towards the purchase of energy efficient products, particularly, in developing countries.

The development of the internet has influenced the development of the world economy. Various buying and selling transactions that previously could only be done face-to-face, have now developed into transactions via the internet known as e-business or e-commerce. The hotel room online booking system was created to make it easier for consumers to book rooms 24 hours a day. With the availability of the online booking feature, consumers can access hotel information in detail and more transparently, besides that, consumers can also see reviews which can be used as their consideration in choosing hotels and planning holidays. Traveloka's significant development as an Indonesian online travel agent unicorn plays an important role in accelerating the growth rate of the online travel ecosystem, especially for the domestic market. There are many factors that must be examined in finding information, placing orders, and purchasing online. Therefore, this research is focused on online booking behavior. This study aims to determine the influence between variables based on Theory of Planned Behavior, which consists of attitude toward the online booking behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, online booking intention and online booking behavior at Traveloka. Data was collected from 133 respondents of domestic tourists who have made online bookings at Traveloka. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) statistics with the Smart PLS 3.0 M3 program to determine the complexity of the relationship between latent variables and their indicators. The results of this study indicate that attitude toward the behavior and subjective norms have a positive and significant effect on online booking intention. Meanwhile, perceived behavioral control has no significant effect on online booking intention. Another finding is that online booking intention and perceived behavioral control are known to have a positive and significant effect on online booking behavior. Traveloka management and marketers are also expected to be able to use the results of this research to evaluate and take corrective action on aspects that are deemed inadequate and manage the ease of use of the application to increase online booking intentions through the Traveloka application.

Despite the usefulness of the theory of planned behavior in predicting intention and behavior in different domains, the sufficiency of its use in predicting and determining intention has been debated by many scholars. This paper extended the theory of planned behavior by including social support as a possible determinant of intention in the entrepreneurship domain while looking at one of the largest universities in Nigeria. Data were collected from 432 final year students of Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria using a simple random sampling technique. Structural equation modeling was adopted using partial least square technique for data analysis. Perceived social support, attitude towards entrepreneurship, and perceived behavioral control all were found to have a significant effect on entrepreneurial intention, while subjective norms had an insignificant effect. The study found perceived social support to be an important social influence factor in the theory of planned behavior because of its influence on entrepreneurial intention. Hence, perceived social support is recommended to be included as a major construct in the theory of planned behavior.

Online web technologies are adopted to improve students' collaborative work. However, the factors that affect students' engagement in online collaboration (e-collaboration) have not been understood in previous studies. This research aimed to examine the extent to which students' intentions to e-collaborate can be explained by the theory of planned behavior. A sample of secondary and tertiary students was used (N = 175). The results from the partial least square approach to structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) indicated that the path coefficients of the relationships partially reinforced the a priori construction of the hypothesized model. In brief, attitudes toward e-collaboration and subjective norms were positively and significantly related to e-collaborative intentions, while perceived behavioral control indirectly predicted e-collaborative intentions via perceived e-collaborative performance. Research and practical implications have been presented in the paper.

PurposeBlended learning (BL) has been increasing in popularity and demand and has developed as a common practice in institutions of higher learning. Therefore, this study develops a model to evaluate the critical predictors that determine students' acceptance and deployment of BL in institutions of higher education based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approachThe empirical analysis entails data collected from 1,811 responses from an online survey questionnaire from students in Malaysian universities, colleges and polytechnics. Partial least square–structural equation modeling (PLS–SEM) was employed for data analysis.FindingsThe results reveal that the attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and self-efficacy were found to influence students' intention to accept BL. Moreover, results suggest that the intention of students to accept BL approach is significantly influenced by actual BL deployment.Research limitations/implicationsData were collected from students in universities, colleges and polytechnics only. Besides, this research is one of the limited studies that explored BL deployment in a Malaysian perspective.Practical implicationsFindings from this research not only add scientific evidence to BL literature but also provide a better understanding of the predictors that may motivate or discourage learners to deploy BL in institutions of higher learning.Social implicationsRespectively, findings from this study aid students to acquire and apply knowledge on how to effectively improve BL initiatives in learning activities.Originality/valueThis study is one of the fewer studies that investigate students' behavioral intentions toward BL deployment in Malaysia. Additionally, this study contributes to the understanding of the predictors that influence students' intention to accept and deploy BL in their respective institutions.

Rendahnya kesadaran wajib pajak orang pribadi dalam membayar pajak telah menjadi masalah utama negara berkembang dalam aspek pajak. Rendahnya kepatuhan wajib pajak orang pribadi dapat dilihat dan dikaji dari sisi psikologi wajib pajak (sikap, norma subjektif, kontrol perilaku yang dipersepsikan, niat, dan perilaku kepatuhan pajak). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksplanatori, pengambilan sample dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik non-probability sampling dengan kriteria wajib pajak orang pribadi yang terdaftar dan memiliki Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak (NPWP) dan melaporkan Surat Pemberitahuan Pajak (SPT) di Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. Adapun instrument penelitian dilakukan pretest pada tanggal 28-29 Mei 2018 (2 Hari). Hasil kuesioner yang sudah valid dan reliabel kemudian dilakukan penyebaran ulang untuk keperluan analisa statistik dalam penelitian ini, kuesioner disebarkan pada tanggal 28 Mei – 05 Juli 2018 (39 Hari). Jumlah sampel yang diolah sebanyak 170 tanggapan wajib pajak, dan data diolah dengan metode Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) berbasis Partial Least Square (PLS) dengan bantuan program SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan bahwa sikap dan kontrol perilaku yang dipersepsikan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap niat berperilaku patuh terhadap pajak, sedangkan norma subjektif berpengaruh positif namun tidak signifikan terhadap niat berperilaku patuh terhadap pajak. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan kesesuaian dengan Teori Perilaku Terencana (Theory of Planned Behavior) bahwa secara teoritis perilaku wajib pajak disebabkan oleh adanya niat untuk berprilaku patuh terhadap pajak yang direfleksikan oleh sikap, norma subjektif dan kontrol perilaku yang dipersepsikan oleh wajib pajak orang pribadi di Provinsi DKI Jakarta. The low awareness of individual taxpayers in paying taxes has become a major problem for developing countries in the tax aspect. The low compliance of individual taxpayers can be seen and assessed in terms of the taxpayer's psychology (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral controls, intentions, and tax compliance behavior). This research is an explanatory research, taking samples in this study using non-probability sampling techniques with criteria for individual taxpayers who are registered and have a Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) and report the Tax Return (SPT) in the Tax Service Office (KPP) in DKI Jakarta Province. The research instrument was pretested on 28-29 May 2018 (2 Days). The results of a valid and reliable questionnaire were then re-distributed for the purposes of statistical analysis in this study, the questionnaire was distributed on 28 May - 05 July 2018 (39 Days). The number of samples processed was 170 taxpayer responses to the questionnaire distributed, and the data was processed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with the help of the SmartPLS 3.0 program. The results of hypothesis testing show that attitude and perceived behavior control have a positive and significant effect on the intention to behave in compliance with taxes, while subjective norms have a positive but not significant effect on the intention to behave in compliance with taxes. The results of the study reveal conformity with the Theory of Planned Behavior that theoretically taxpayer behavior is caused by the intention to behave obediently to taxes which is reflected by attitudes, subjective norms and behavioral controls perceived by individual taxpayers in DKI Jakarta Province.
