Abstract. Fear of crime is a complex phenomenon, often not connected to the crime itself. It is sometimes influenced by other environmental factors, thus creating fear in the population. We examined fears of crime and their causes in seven different cities and municipalities in the present study. The primary data collection was an online questionnaire, which were then processed with various GIS software (ArcGIS, GeoDa). We then processed police statistics related to registered crimes committed. Finally, we compared questionnaires and police data using basic statistical methods.

This research was carried out to explore the layoff situation among the Airline industry during the COVID-19 pandemic and suggest the alternative strategies that would consider by the Airline company. The method used in this research is an online questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents as the primary data collection and the secondary data analysis from the empirical studies that can obtain from electronic and non-electronic media. The findings of this research indicated that one of the suggested alternative strategies, Furlough, is the most recommended one. However, Attrition and Hiring Freeze strategy has less recommended because of the low effectiveness of this strategy on downsizing companies. The study enables the airline company to consider the alternative strategies on their downsizing policy in order to minimize the employees and company loss.

One of Slovakia’s globalization tendencies is the successful introduction of the Eurocurrency. It has been 10 years since the introduction of the euro in Slovakia. It is a sufficient time for us to continuously assess the real situation and attitudes of the citizens in this area. There are several publicly available studies, research findings conducted by Eurobarometer, Fincenter or the National bank, which focus on advantages and disadvantages of the euro currency. The most frequently mentioned advantages are price stability, transaction cost decrease in foreign trade and tourism, Slovak export increase and the removal of exchange rate risk. On the other side, Slovakia has lost its independent monetary policy and the member country is also expected to participate in the euro area rescue mechanism. Similarly the research team of the Faculty of Economics of J. Selye University was invited by Hungarian Pallas Athene Domus Educationis Foundation to participate in the research project named ten years of euro – Slovak experience. Based on this project initiative, the aim of the paper is to find out the experience regarding the euro among citizens, also with an emphasis on cross-border activity. In order to achieve the research objectives we applied primary data collection to obtain information about the researched issue. An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among the respondents. Data collection among the residents was realized with a help of an agent, but also an online questionnaire was provided for the respondents in 2018. Statistic indicators were used to verify our assumptions.

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to identify the antecedents and consequences of satisfaction when using Instagram. We also aim to verify if the intention to follow an account and interact with it positively influences the endorsed brand attitude, resulting in purchase intention on Instagram.Design/methodology/approachWe undertook primary data collection through a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional approach, applying a nonprobabilistic sampling method by convenience and accessibility. We conducted data collection by means of an online questionnaire, which gained 447 respondents. The data analysis technique was SEM-PLS.FindingsThe results indicated that utility, entertainment and socialization tend to predict user satisfaction when using Instagram, and this satisfaction tends to generate a following and interacting behavior with other users. The results also suggest that by establishing this continuous relationship with other users, there is a greater possibility of users endorsing the brands presented to them, which may lead to greater purchase intention.Research limitations/implicationsWe bring relevant information to companies for the development of virtual engagement, allowing them to better develop a strategy for reaching new Instagram followers by analyzing their behavior.Originality/valueThe study expands the field of uses and gratifications (U&G) theory in the use of Instagram, using antecedents of satisfaction. In relation to consequences, this study includes in the model a commercial base in terms of endorsed brand attitude and purchase intention.

This research aims to examine the influence of attitude towards whistle-blowing, organizational commitment, personal cost,and seriousness of wrongdoing on the whistle-blowing intentions among civil servants in the Supreme Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK RI). This research used primary data collected from online questionnaire survey. Using a sample of 107 BPK RI’s civil servants from 35 different units, this research shows that three of the four determinants significantly affect whistle blowing intention. The three affecting determinants are attitude towards whistle-blowing, organizational commitment, and seriousness of wrongdoing. This research has implications on literatures by confirming the theory of Prosocial Organizational Behavior; Theory of Planned Behavior; and The Concept of Organizational Commitment, and is expected to help the government, particularly BPK-RI, in designing strategies to increase their employees whistle-blowing intention or in designing or enhancing the institution’s whistle-blowing system. The results have limitations on the aspects of generalization, selection bias in data collection, and the sensitivity of research’s theme which is potentially biased with real condition. We suggest the next researcher to explore other whistle-blowing intention’s determinants, design spesific research on channels and forms of whistle-blowing, re-examine the consistency of personal cost’s effect, avoid data collection methods that potentially cause selection bias, and expand the sample.

Abstract This quality improvement project seeks to provide guidance on whether caregivers should attempt to “assist” fallers, and if so, the safest way to minimize injury to themselves and the faller. Primary aims were to: 1) Identify common characteristics of documented assisted falls, 2) Identify cases where injuries to patients and/or staff occur, and 3) Provide guidance to the clinical field. Data sources for this project includes secondary databases of assisted falls events as well as primary data collection using computer simulation. Initial results for 2 VA quality tracking databases of assisted falls over a 9-year period are presented. Qualitative matrix analyses were conducted for both assisted falls datasets, which separately examined patient and employee injuries related to assisted falls. Two trained qualitative experts analyzed 195 fall narratives from the datasets to develop insights about the most common fall scenarios that result in injury. The most commonly reported assisted falls scenarios included 1) related to toileting, 2) while ambulating, and 3) while transferring from wheelchair. Findings of these analyses indicate current documentation does not capture the nuance of assisted falls. Additional variables such as 1) the direction of the fall; 2) the fall scenario; 3) how staff sought to assist; 4) staff injury description and 5) and other key variables (patient symptoms, environmental factors) that could improve fall documentation and understanding of assisted falls. Preliminary efforts are providing information for development of a computer simulation using a virtual environment to repeatedly test common fall scenarios and influences of caregiver assistance.
