Today’s customers are ethically conscious and prefer those products that are ethically produced without using child labor and harm to animals and nature.This study shows various factors that affect ethical consumption and happiness. We proposed a model explaining effect of ethical purchase on happiness and onwards to repurchase intention. For this purpose this research adopted (Hwang & Kim, 2016) model of factors affecting happiness and repurchase intention and added variables such as ethical consumption, altruism and ethical obligation from (Oh & Yoon, 2014). Using a questionnaire-based survey, the data were collected from 212 respondents to analyze their attitude towards ethical consumption and happiness. To analyze data and test the hypothesis, Structured Equation modeling, PLS algorithm and bootstapping were used. The results showed that guilt positively affects empathy. However, empathy does not affect ethical consumption. Narcissism positively affects self-actualization. While, Self-actualization negatively affect ethical consumption. Ethical obligation also inversely affect ethical consumption however the relationship seems to be insignificant. Surprisingly, Altruism and ethical consumption also seems to have a negative connection. Moreover, ethical consumers didn’t draw happiness out of their purchase, however, happiness positively affected repurchase intention. The results of this study demonstrate the strong associations of the paths from happiness to repurchase intention, happiness to self-actualization, repurchase intention to happiness and self-actualization to happiness.

Accessing financial services is considered one of the main challenges facing communities during crises. This research studies the role of using FinTech applications to build resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research empirically examines the factors affecting Jordanian citizens’ intention to use FinTech applications. The sample of the research comprised 500 potential FinTech service users in Jordan. Based on the research conceptual model, five hypotheses were developed and tested using structural equation modeling techniques (SEM-PLS). The research results indicate that perceived benefits and social norms significantly affect the intention to use FinTech applications. However, it has been found that perceived technology risks do not significantly affect the intention to use FinTech applications. Moreover, the results also indicate that customer trust is significantly mediating the relationship between perceived risks and intention to use FinTech applications. FinTech service providers should insure that their products are easy to use, fulfill needs and protect consumers’ data in order to ensure trust, hence positively influencing consumer adoption.

Entrepreneurial competence is an important variable that affects the success of an entrepreneur. Factors affecting entrepreneurial competence need to be researched because of strong competence needed by an entrepreneur to achieve success. Based on the literature study, education, entrepreneurial personality and parenting style are indicated to influence entrepreneurial competence. Further studies show that entrepreneurial personality and parenting style require further research because the relationship between these two variables and entrepreneurial competence needs to be understood more deeply. The result of this research is proposition development to further test the relationship between entrepreneurial personality, parenting style, and entrepreneurial competence. Furthermore, based on indicators used in previous studies, testing is suggested using structural equation modeling (SEM) because entrepreneurial personality is measured using Big Five Personality and entrepreneurial competence is measured using indicators from Man & Lau (2000) so that the indicators of both variables included in the unobserved variabl

The Relationship

The relationship between team temporal leadership and performance has attracted the attention of both academics and practitioners. Theories and studies of team temporal leadership have generally focused on Western teams, and there is a noticeable dearth of empirical verifications focusing on Taiwanese sales marketing teams and the relationship between team temporal leadership and performance in Taiwanese pharmaceutical companies. However, Taiwan has a unique pharmaceutical sales marketing model involving diversified competency, apprenticeship, teamwork, and time management. Thus, this study examined the relationship among team temporal leadership, competency, followership, and performance using linear structured equation modeling. Results from the 360 leader–employee dyads of the sales marketing team revealed that team temporal leadership, competency, and followership are positively related to performance and that team temporal leadership is positively related to competency and followership. According to the results of the research, suggestions for future-related studies are proposed.

With regard to platform performance and trust, we study the influencing factors of users’ intention to pay on an online medical service platform. Results of this paper will provide a new perspective for online medical service platform research in the context of the Internet.A questionnaire survey is administered to collect 312 effective sample data, and the data are analyzed by partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results showed that the information quality, system quality, and convenience of the platform significantly affect the perceived benefit (PB) of users. Users’ perceived reliability of the platform significantly positively affects doctor reliability (DR). Users’ PB significantly positively affects their ITP and DR, and DR significantly positively affects the users’ ITP. The misdiagnosis risk positively regulates the relationship between the users’ trust tendency and DR. The timeliness of the response of the platform positively adjusts the relationship between DR and users’ ITP.

Moderating Role

Underlying by Cognitive Dissonance Theory, this study aims to examine the moderating effect of word of mouth (WOM) on the relationship between consumers’ satisfaction and trust. The research also emphasizes on figuring out the differences in moderating effects of WOM between online and conventional shopping context. In addition, the impact of trust on repurchase intention is also investigated. Applying Structural Equation Modeling, data collected from 296 online consumers and 169 conventional shoppers have been analyzed to figure out the associations among these concepts in both shopping context. The results indicate that word of mouth significantly plays a moderating role in the relationship between satisfaction and trust. In addition, it is obviously evidenced that the moderating effect of WOM varies due to different shopping contexts and the interactions of satisfaction, trust and repurchase intention are also different. The findings provide a better understanding regarding consumer behavior in different shopping environments. Consequently, practical implications for marketers and theoretical implications for scholars are discussed.

The Relationship

This study aimed to examine the factors affecting the relationship between stress and anxiety in critically ill patients. A cross-sectional research paradigm was employed to enroll patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of a medical university hospital. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the data. A total of 90 ICU patients were included in this study; 56 were men and 34 were women. The patients’ mean age was 65.3 years. Only the emotional responses dimension of illness was significantly positively correlated with stress. However, the emotional responses dimension of illness representation, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation system (APACHE) score, age, and education level were significantly positively correlated with anxiety. Nevertheless, treatment control was significantly negatively correlated with anxiety. Overall, illness representations (emotional responses and treatment control), APACHE score, age, and education were important predictors of anxiety, with an explanatory power of 37.9%. We recommend that for clinically relevant practice, besides focusing on ICU patients’ illness representation, attention should also be paid to their individual characteristics, such as differences in age and education levels.
