The dynamic development of e-commerce in the foodservice market has been observed in recent years (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic), both in Poland and in other countries. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics of e-foodservice customers, identify their motivations for ordering food online and the nutritional consequences of such actions, as well as recognize the influence of consumers’ s-commerce activity on their foodservice market behavior. The study was carried out using the CAWI method on a sample of 1018 adult Poles. With the use of cluster analysis, three consumer segments were distinguished: frequent e-commerce users (221), moderate users (400), and sporadic users (397). The results indicate that frequent users of e-commerce in the foodservice market are slightly more often young and educated men who work full-time, have a higher than average income, and live in a large or medium city. In their own opinions, frequent users are the most concerned about proper nutrition, but despite such declarations, their nutritional quality is inferior to other groups. Compared to other segments, they are the most socially active and show the greatest commitment to s-commerce activity, which influences their purchasing intentions and behaviors.

Food Market

The dynamic development of the food market requires enterprises and institutions responsible for the country's economic policy to constantly monitor the behaviour of the main consumption entity on this market, which is the household. One of the solution is to conduct typologisation procedures. The aim of the article is to present the results of household's typology conducted in Poland and Slovakia on a sample of 900 households. Hierarchical (Ward's method) and non-hierarchical (k-means method) cluster analysis was used to delimit households' types. As a result, three types of households were identified in each sub-sample by their behaviour on the food market.

Tatzel proposed a theory of money worlds and wellbeing comprised of four prototypical consumer patterns based on whether consumers are high/low on materialism and simultaneously tight or loose with money. Tatzel proposes that the four prototypes (value-seekers, non-spenders, big-spenders, and experiencers) differ strikingly along many values, attitudes, and behaviors. This study uses data from 1,016 U.S. student consumers to test empirically the typology and differences. A cluster analysis confirmed that a four-cluster solution best represented the data, supporting Tatzel's model. Subsequent ANOVAs showed that two of the four groups differed predictably in the hypothesized directions. Significant differences between big-spenders and non-spenders appeared in levels of price sensitivity, status consumption, generosity, brand engagement, worry about debt, and spending. The other two groups, value-seekers and experiencers, fell between them. The findings partially confirm Tatzel's theory and suggest that “money worlds” are one way of conceptualizing consumer culture.

AbstractMaster teachers are associated with achieving excellence in teaching; however, there are no research studies that describe master teachers in nursing. Based on an analysis of interview responses from eleven, experienced, full-time, undergraduate nurse educators, this qualitative study offers an empirically based description of characteristics and behaviors of master teachers in nursing. This description of master teachers provides nurse educators with characteristics and behaviors that may be needed to develop a master teacher practice. Increasing the number of master teachers in nursing could have implications for creating teaching criteria to evaluate teaching practice and develop professional development activities.

The paper discusses the effectiveness of teaching in fields representing agricultural sciences. Empirical verification was based on data taken from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The research is a pilot study and concerns 1935 graduates of 10 Polish public universities, who obtained a second-cycle full-time studies diploma in 2015. Cluster analysis was performed using Ward’s method and squared Euclidean distance. The conducted procedure allowed to distinguish three clusters of fields differing in level of effectiveness of teaching. In general, the highest effectiveness in the studied group of fields of science was characterized by those that were run through universities located in the capital and cities over 500,000 residents.

There is a large body of research that has comparatively explored the relationship that military experience has with the attitudes and behaviors of employees who work in military organizations. However, very few studies have extended this line of research in civilian organizations. This study seeks to add to this body of research by exploring whether there are meaningful attitude and behavioral differences between veterans and non-veterans who work in a government civilian organization. Using a sample of 500 federal employees in the United States, the findings of this study revealed that prior military experience had no meaningful relationship to the work satisfaction, performance, person-organization fit, public service motivation, work stress, nor turnover intentions of public employees. The most important predictors of the work attitudes of employees were their age, education level, full-time status, and years of work experience. The implications this study has for the field of public management are discussed.

‘Sustainable tourism’ has emerged as an increasingly acceptable phenomenon and is widely recognized as an important factor in making a positive impact on protecting the environment as well as contributing to the economy. Several agencies and organizations worldwide promote sustainable tourism but the adoption and practice amongst the travellers have been seldom explored in the Indian context. This article attempts to identify the class of ‘sustainable tourists’ by identifying their demographic characteristics through the application of K-means cluster analysis. The results depicted that females are likely to be more sustainable than their male counterparts. Apart from that, young, more educated along with those in full-time employment are more likely to exhibit characteristics of a ‘sustainable tourist’. Further, this study is also successful in identifying specific practices in which a ‘sustainable tourist’ is likely to engage themselves. This article provides important implications for a range of stakeholders including tour and travel agencies, hoteliers as well as tourist guides who can reformulate their marketing strategies to include ‘sustainable tourists’ in their efforts to expand their customer base. It will also give useful insights to the administration and other authorities of the tourist destinations to minimize the damage and promote the culture of sustainable tourism.

The paper is a theoretical and empirical study on the cultural determinants of business negotiations and behaviors. The theoretical aim of the paper is to present the main models used to study and compare national cultures. The applicable purpose of the paper is to present the results of a comparative analysis of individual cultures of the business world based on the six dimensions of national culture described in Hofstede’s model. The paper is based on the literature and Hofstede Insights data. A comparative analy-sis of data from 118 countries, from all continents, was carried out. Then, based on the cluster analysis, 16 groups of countries – the cultures of the business world – were distinguished and characterized. The obtained results constitute an original contribution to the study of understanding the differences and similarities of individual national cultures. They can also be of value for both scientists pursuing intercul-tural research and business people who conduct their business in various regions of the world.

The Prestige

In this descriptive study, researchers surveyed choristers ( N = 630) from 16 mid-level collegiate choirs nationwide to investigate their perceptions and behaviors as they related to the strategies used by directors to facilitate ensemble identity. Also investigated were the factors affecting choristers’ dedication to choir and their intentions regarding future enrollment in the choral program. Results indicated that mid-level collegiate choristers hold very diverse opinions regarding the effectiveness of directors’ strategies. While participants indicated that many factors influenced their dedication to choir, those same factors did not directly affect reenrollment. Data indicated that choristers were dedicated when they did not have conflicts; felt committed; had an engaging, dedicated, and encouraging full-time faculty instructor; viewed the repertoire and ensemble as quality; and built friendships. Choristers who wanted to remain in their mid-level ensemble primarily cited the influence of personal and external factors followed by musical factors. Those who wanted to move into a different choir primarily sought the prestige of performing in a top-level choir.

The Impact

In the last decade, the number of full-time registered dietitians (RDs) serving intercollegiate athletes in the United States has more than quadrupled. However, many student athletes may be at increased risk of nutrition-related problems that impact physical and academic performance, which include inadequate macronutrients, inadequate micronutrients, and excessive macronutrients. This narrative review reports the current literature to date on nutrition-related knowledge in collegiate athletes and the impact of sports RDs on student athletes’ nutrition knowledge and behaviors. To date, only observational and quasi-experimental studies have been published with regard to changes in nutrition knowledge and behaviors in NCAA athletes. While these studies report benefits of the RD as a member of the interdisciplinary student athlete support team, more well-designed randomized control trials are warranted to determine benefits related to health outcomes and sport-specific performance outcomes.
