A circular economy paradigm has recently emerged to combat environmental pollution and climate change around the world. In the fashion industry, circular fashion has been spotlighted as an environmentally friendly approach to fashion products. The purpose of this study was to investigate consumers’ value and risk perceptions, product attitudes, and behavior intentions toward circular fashion consumption. Specifically, this study focuses on three types of circular fashion products from textile waste: reused clothing, upcycled clothing, and recycled clothing. The moderating role of individualism was also explored. Survey data from 850 consumers in their 20s and 30s in Korea were collected to test our hypotheses. The results showed the influence of emotional value was the greatest, while economic risk and performance risk did not affect product attitudes. A moderating effect of individualism was found in the paths between perception dimension and product attitudes and between product attitudes and behavior intention. These findings can help retailers and marketers create more tailored retailing and promotional strategies.

A DWI prevention program for driving schools consisting of a videotape, slides, a textbook, and a manual was developed and evaluated. Effects of the program on knowledge, attitude, behavior intention, and self-reported DWI behavior were measured by means of a pretest, posttest, one-year follow-up evaluation design. Two-hundred and eight driving school students followed the program and participated in all three measurements. A control group of 228 pupils followed a traditional curriculum without the DWI program and also participated in all three measurements. Principal findings were that knowledge improved, attitudes and behavior intentions were already positive at pretest, DWI was equally reported by both groups, and there was a positive effect on riding with an intoxicated driver.

In today’s digitalized word, it is inevitable that customers interact with each other and affect each other's behavior. Therefore e-wom has become an important subject in digital marketing literature. The rise of the social media has affected consumer behavior in a significant way and e-wom is one of the most captious elements (Ng. et. al. 2015). Increasing competition, globalization, and digitalization have made e-wom a subject that both academic literature and practitioners should take into account. As a member of a society, an individual has a tendency to tell good or bad experiences, feelings and information to other individuals and this tendency is often a natural necessity. Since individuals shape their purchase decisions according to the information and experience they gained, word of mouth concept has become one of the most influential factor in forming attitudes and behavior (Türker, 2014). Fashion has become an industry which is influenced by opinion leaders more than magazines or designers and therefore it is accepted that those people have strenght to effect the perception of a brand. Fashion brands take the advantage of visual influencers' network effects and therefore online visual platforms have become another marketing channel for them. However the important point is to balance the increased empowerment of customers to speak about the brand while at the same controlling the strategic brand management purposes. (Wolny - Mueller,2013) As a consequence of having specific features such as having short lifecycles and being dynamic, the fashion industry has become one of the influential communication strategies that fashion brands place emphasis on. In this study, e-wom behavior of customers in the fashion industry is explored from the perspective of personality traits. This study examines the impacts of personality traits on customers’ e-wom and purchase behavior. Furthermore, the relationship between e-wom and purchase behavior behavior in fashion industry was also examined. A survey was conducted to collect the data. Results showed that there is a significant relationship between conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness and advice seeking, and there is a significant relationship between conscientiousness, neuroticism, agreeableness, openness to experience and opinion giving and passing. Another result showed that all personality traits included in the study except conscientiousness have a significant relationship with purchase behavior. Also, opinion passing, opinion giving and passing have a significant relationship with purchase behavior. It is aimed that e-wom behavior is studied from a large perspective and thus, the study will have both academic and practical suggestions.

Job satisfaction is important because it has proven to be of many benefits to the interests of the public, industry and society, namely in efforts to increase production and reduce costs through improving employee attitudes and behavior. Viewed from the organization, employee job satisfaction is related to productivity, positive work behavior, controlling turnover and performance. This research was conducted by taking existing cases at PT. Bank BNI (Persero). PT. Bank BNI is a company that uses an outsourced labor system as a process of transferring business activities to third parties. The purpose of this study was to determine whether compensation and leadership systems can affect job satisfaction for outsourcing employees. The results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between compensation and leadership systems on the job satisfaction of outsourcing employees by 64% with the contribution of the independent variables of 41%. The analysis of variance produces an F value of 20.463> F table 3.15, which states that compensation and the leadership system together have an effect on job satisfaction of outsourcing employees. The results of the partial significance of each variable also show a significant value smaller than 0.05 and the t test for each variable also produces a calculated t value that is greater than the t table. So it can be concluded that compensation and leadership systems have a significant effect on the satisfaction of outsourcing employees at PT. Bank BNI (Persero).

Consumers’ perception, awareness, and behavior toward sustainable fashion were surveyed with a questionnaire in which 263 respondents participated, and obtained data were primarily analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-test. The focus of this research was consumer attitudes toward sustainable business practices of fashion brands. Based on the conducted research, differences were found between sexes in the perception of their own awareness of sustainability in fashion, where women consider their own awareness to be higher than men’s. The perception of fashion sustainability awareness in women younger than 35 and those over 36 was also examined. The research showed a gap between consumers’ awareness, their positive attitude toward sustainable fashion, and a lack of action in that direction when making purchasing decisions. The results of these studies provide a better understanding of one’s own perception of awareness in terms of fashion sustainability and various connected factors, as well as difference in both sexes’ awareness of these factors, which may influence consumer behavior related to sustainable fashion products. Thus they can facilitate the implementation of relevant strategies in the fashion industry.

Cyber Risk

Abstract Cybersecurity represents a unique national security challenge for states: data breaches with the potential for national, macro-level consequences are most likely to occur at the micro-level, originating through the security errors of individual computer users. Thus, aspects of national cybersecurity can often critically depend on the personal attitudes and behavior of average citizens connecting online. However, to date, theories of state cybersecurity have almost exclusively focused on the macro-level, and very little is known about how the mass public reacts to—and protects themselves from—cybersecurity threats. This study addresses this gap, drawing on psychological theories of risk perception to explain why the public simultaneously reports great concern about cybersecurity, yet does little to protect their personal safety online. Using a novel survey experiment, we examine how exposure to different types of data breaches impacts citizens’ cyber risk assessments, personal online behavior, and support for various national cybersecurity policies. We find that baseline concerns about cybersecurity and knowledge about safe online practices are very low. However, exposure to a personally relevant data breach heightens risk perception and increases willingness to engage in safer online practices. But these effects are circumscribed—actual online behavior is more resistant to change. These results have important implications for the design of effective state cybersecurity policy.

Islamic boarding schools and dormitories are one of the clusters with a high spread of COVID-19. The high intensityof clustering activities in these clusters can increase the potential for the spread of COVID-19. This study aims todetermine the differences in the level of risk perception, protective behavior, and tawakal (surrender to God) betweenindividuals living in Islamic boarding schools/dormitories and the general public. This present study is a mixed-methodresearch with scales and an open-ended question. All participants (N = 91) were Muslim with an age range of 18-24years. The data were analyzed using t-test and correlation tests for the quantitative data, and thematic analysis forthe qualitative data. The level of risk perception among participants living in Islamic boarding schools/dormitories islower than that of participants who do not live in these two places. The protective behavior between the two groups ofparticipants did not have a significant difference. We found a positive correlation between protective behavior andtawakal attitudes among participants living in Islamic boarding schools/dormitories. This study provides a deeperunderstanding on the dynamics of attitudes and behavior in Islamic boarding schools and dormitories during theCOVID-19 pandemic. Protective behavior among muslims is not only related to risk perceptions of a pandemic, butalso to tawakal as a religious manifestation in dealing with calamities.
