This paper investigates the relationship between participants’ motherhood desire and travel intention and behaviour, through the mediating role of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behaviour control. The study adopted a questionnaire among a sample representative of females with fertility complications in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in Egypt. In total, 138 questionnaires were gathered and tested using a partial least square structural equation modelling using WarpPLS 7.0. The findings support the proposed model and show that motherhood desire has a positive influence on attitude, subjective norm and perceived behaviour control. Also, we found that the positive effect of TPB dimensions on actual behaviour is subject to females’ intention to visit Egypt for fertility tourism. Besides, the study revealed that attitude partially mediates the link between motherhood, tourists’ revisit intention and tourists’ actual behaviour. This suggests that the positive effect of motherhood desire on tourist revisit intention and actual behaviour is subject to attitude. Drawing on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), we develop an integrative model exploring the relationship between three distinct TPB dimensions and their influence on travel behaviour for childbearing. Such findings hold important implications both for the research community and medical tourism practitioners.

Poverty is a complex and multidimensional problem that links several dimensions. Statistical method that can explain the relationship between one latent variable with others is Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The purpose of this study is to create a structural model of the relationship between education, health, economy and poverty in Indonesia in 2017 by using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Square approach (SEM-PLS) based on predetermined indicators with the results of 11 valid indicators. Based on the model obtained, health has a significant positive effect on education, health and education have a significant positive effect on the economy and the economy has a significant negative effect on poverty. Segmentation based on the relationship of latent variables in structural models can be overcome by Finite Mixture Partial Least Square (FIMIX-PLS) so that it can identify poverty areas in each province in Indonesia with more homogeneous characteristics. The best segmentation result is number of segments (K) = 2 obtained based on the criteria of AIC, BIC, CAIC and Normed Entropy (EN) with an EN value of 0.964 which means the quality of segment separation is very good. Papua and West Papua provinces form one segment in segment 2, while 32 other provinces form one segment in segment 1.Keywords: Poverty, Structural Equation Modelling, Partial Least Square, Finite Mixture, Segmentation.

Demand for coffee is growing, so it is not surprising that sensory marketing is often used to attract the consumer’s attention. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sensory marketing, packaging, and purchasing decisions of Coffesia’s coffee products, where sensory marketing focused on two factors: visual and touch. A survey method was used with 60 questionnaires distributed in the Surabaya region, but only 45 questionnaires were returned and processed. The Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) was used for data analysis. First, sensory marketing had a positive effect on purchasing decisions, which means it encouraged buyers to make purchasing decisions. Second, sensory marketing had a positive effect on packaging when buyers wanted to buy products with attractive packaging. Third, packaging had a positive effect on purchasing decisions. Finally, sensory marketing had a positive effect on purchasing decisions through packaging as a mediating variable. Keywords: sensory marketing, visual, touch, packaging, purchasing decision

This study aims to analyze the effects of tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and tax socialization on taxpayer compliance, as mediated and moderated by taxpayer awareness level of taxpayer education, respectively. The research sample included 196 taxpayers registered in the Primary South Semarang Tax Office. They were selected using the convenience sampling method. The data analysis employed structural equation modeling with warp partial least square. Results show that tax knowledge, tax sanctions, and tax socialization all have a significant positive effect on taxpayer awareness and taxpayer compliance. Meanwhile, the level of education does not moderate tax knowledge on taxpayer compliance. The taxpayers’ awareness mediates the relationship between tax compliance, on the one hand, and tax knowledge, tax socialization, and tax sanctions on the other hand. Thus, the Directorate General of Taxes must increase the intensity of guidance provided to taxpayers to encourage better compliance and reduce tax avoidance behaviors. Keywords: Tax knowledge; tax sanctions; tax dissemination; taxpayer awareness; taxpayer compliance.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between trust buildings, motivating employees, and employee commitment toward organizational change. A self-administrated questionnaire was used to gather data. The study provides a basic understanding of organizational change. Through systemic, theoretical, and conceptual understanding, the arguments of the study are built on the importance of communication in the organization and how in bringing organizational change. The current study proposed that trust-building, employee motivation, and employee commitment will be related to organizational change. A total of 292 copies of completed questionnaires were returned, representing 90.7% of the total questionnaire distribution to both managers and owners of manufacturing firms. Out of which, only 275 questionnaires were usable for the analysis after removing incomplete data and outliers. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze as a popularly accepted model to justify the theory with the observation data. The study results revealed that trust-building, employee motivation and employee commitment have significant effects on organizational change. The current study also claims the importance of collaboration within employees of any organization at the level of transition. The current study will help professionals and academics and enhancing their leadership abilities, it will benefit and inspire trust members to show better outcomes. However, it is recommended that further research is needed in this direction to confirm the result of this study. Finally, this study concludes that trust-building, employee commitment and employee motivation play a significant role in organizational change.

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the influence of organisational politics on work engagement and the moderator effect of positive framing on this relationshipDesign/methodology/approachData were collected from 241 public sector employees in Sri Lanka through a structured questionnaire and analysed with partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS_SEM).FindingsThe results indicated that organisational politics negatively influenced employees' work engagement, positive framing positively influenced engagement and weakened the negative relationship between politics and engagement.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that organisation and individuals must take the necessary steps to enhance work engagement. Organisations must be transparent in all activities to avoid employees' negative perception. Also, organisations need to take steps to recruit employees with positive framing or develop this competency through training and development. Individuals also need to take necessary steps to frame the work environment positively to enhance their engagement in work.Originality/valueThis study extends the literature by being the first to examine the positive framing as a moderator in the relationship between politics and engagement. This study found that positive framing as a resource reduced the harmful effect of organisational politics on engagement and suggested positive framing can be considered as a resource in the future investigation of the job demand–resource model.
