Loyalty of Paratransit Users in the Era of Competition with Ride Sourcing

As a mode serving urban mobility in developing countries, paratransit is experiencing competition with the fast and massive growth of ride sourcing. This study aims to investigate the loyalty of paratransit users in Bandung, Indonesia, in the era of competition with ride sourcing. Data collected by questionnaires and distributed to 400 paratransit users in Bandung were analysed using hierarchical structural equation modelling. The analysis shows that satisfaction is positively influenced by service quality variables. Though there is less satisfaction compared to the previous decade, satisfaction with the service still has a positive influence on total satisfaction with the mode. It can also be concluded that loyalty is positively influenced by satisfaction. Satisfaction with the image and the unique characteristics of paratransit retains passengers' intentions toward loyalty in the future, including current personal characteristics (i.e., age, income, occupation) and travel characteristics (i.e., fare, vehicle ownership) of passengers. This study warns of the high probability of mode-changing behaviour from paratransit to another mode.

The study aimed to investigate the influence of religiosity on the intention to participate in donation-based crowdfunding campaigns. The religiosity of an individual was assessed based on intra-religiosity and inter-religiosity parameters. The study examined the influence of religiosity on the attitude of respondents towards crowdfunding and giving donations in general, and further its impact on determining the intention of people towards donation-based crowdfunding campaigns. The data was collected from 304 respondents in India through an online questionnaire. The rationale behind choosing India was its diversity of religions. The data was collected through a snowball sampling approach and the questionnaire was shared within the personal and professional network. The structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was used to analyze the data. The study found that both Intrapersonal and Interpersonal religiosity dimensions have a positive influence on the attitude towards crowdfunding and donations in general. It also has a direct impact on the intention to participate in donation-based crowdfunding. Furthermore, a positive attitude towards donations will have a positive influence on this form of crowdfunding, however, no such significant relationship exists between attitude towards crowdfunding and intention.

Purpose: This study aims at investigating and testing the mediated effect of Hedging on the effect of profitability and liquidity toward share price at shares of LQ-45, listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange from2011 to 2015. The current research was conducted because the phenomenon and the fluctuations in price of shares were unavoidable. Methodology: The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) by Amos was used to analyze the 110 observations of data. Main Findings: The result of analysis shows that; (1) the liquidity gives not significantly negative influence to share price, (2) the liquidity gives significantly negative influence to hedging, (3) the profitability gives significantly positive influence to share price, (4) the profitability gives significantly negative influence to hedging, (5). Hedging gives significantly positive influence to share price. Implications/Applications: The present study provides new evidence that the mediated effect of Hedging on the influence of liquidity and profitability toward share price has more strength compared to the direct influence of liquidity but not for profitability.

AbstractOrganizations have to strive in an uncertain and challenging environment. Hence, the role resilience played at work has been of special interest in the last decade, although empirical research is still scant, especially regarding the antecedents and the consequences resilience has. In this study we analyse the role corporate social responsibility plays towards employees (CSRE) in the promotion of resilience at work, and how resilience results in organizational learning capability (OLC) and firm performance. Structural equation modelling was used to test our model with a sample of 296 companies from different sectors. Results show that CSRE had a positive influence on organizational resilience, which in turn affected firm performance via OLC. Therefore, we tested the antecedents and consequences resilience had empirically, whose practical implications in terms of further human resource management activities are also discussed.

The continuous dynamism that tourism suffers makes the motivations of tourists change, making them search for new experiences. In this sense, gastronomy is positioned as a key element of union between tourism and culture, thus developing gastronomic tourism. The analysis presented here will address gastronomic motivations and their influence on the value perceived by foreign tourists in Oruro (Bolivia), based on a total sample of 370 and through a covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM). Among the main results, it is worth highlighting the positive influence of gastronomic motivations on the value perceived by tourists. These results are also very useful for public and/or private entities for the creation of new strategies to promote local gastronomy.

On the whole, car ownership is regarded as an imperative variable in travel behavior research. Car and motorcycle ownership are increasing rapidly in developing countries leading to an unsustainable developments. Using a data of 584 respondents from the Agartala city randomly collected, a model has been prepared to understand vehicle ownership for both car and motorized two wheeler mode (MTW). Latent variables along with socioeconomic variables such as monthly income, gender, age were used for modeling vehicle ownership using structural equation modelling. Latent variables used in this study, flexibility (Motorized Two wheeler), Negative public transportation perception and comfort (car) were found to be significant in the model. Our result suggests apart from socioeconomic variables, latent variables also explains vehicle ownership model.

Employees Satisfaction

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a model of the relationships between personal resources (Psychological Capital (PsyCap)) and satisfaction with job resources, and their effect on work engagement and burnout. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from a convenience sample of 407 full-time employees from various public and private sector organisations, using a questionnaire consisting of PsyCap (PCQ-24), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scales, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and a questionnaire measuring job resources (Parker and Hyett, 2011). The data were analysed using variance-based structural equation modelling (SmartPLS 3). Findings The influence of employees’ satisfaction with job resources on both dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion and cynicism) was negative and statistically significant. Satisfaction with job resources had a statistically significant positive influence on both dimensions of work engagement (vigour and dedication). PsyCap had a statistically significant positive influence on satisfaction with job resources. Satisfaction with job resources partially mediated the influence of PsyCap on emotional exhaustion and cynicism, and partially on vigour and dedication. Research limitations/implications As this was an exploratory study, it used a convenience sample and a variance-based approach to structural equation modelling (SmartPLS). It is suggested that future researchers replicate the model in different contexts to corroborate the proposed relationships using larger samples, probability-based sampling and a covariance-based approach to structural equation modelling. Practical implications Management must realise that employees’ satisfaction with job resources plays a central role in their work engagement and burnout levels. Workplace practices that reflect respect and care for the employee and the development of employees’ personal resources (i.e. PsyCap) will improve work engagement and reduce burnout. Originality/value This paper fills a gap in the literature by explaining how personal resources (PsyCap) and job resources (the organisation’s perceived respect for the employee and employer care) influence work engagement and burnout via mediation paths.
