Eu Integration

Recent events, such as failed constitutional referenda, low voting turnout in the European Union parliamentary elections, and the 2016 Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom call for a better understanding of people’s voting behavior in relation to the EU. The current study is the first attempt to use the theory of planned behavior to explore the antecedents of voting for EU integration in an Italian convenience sample (N = 441) of varying age. A structural equation model of voting intentions showed an excellent fit to the data, both for the whole sample and for subsamples of young vs. old participants. Perceived behavioral control, mainly determined by participants’ beliefs about the difficulties of exerting direct democratic control through citizenship and voting, had a significant effect on intentions to vote in favor of EU integration across age groups. In addition, older people’s intentions were also affected by their attitude towards EU integration, based primarily on their beliefs about losing national identity.

Using Data

Whistleblowing is a psychological process that involves the calculation of risks and benefits. While there exists a broad range of research on whistleblowing in the public sector, previous studies have not examined its entire process due to the limited focus on either whistleblowing intention or whistleblowing behavior. This study aims to fill this gap by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to the whistleblowing context. Specifically, we examine how individual beliefs about the likely consequences of whistleblowing (attitude toward whistleblowing), others’ expectations about whistleblowing (subjective norm), and the capability of blowing the whistle (perceived behavioral control) influence public employees’ actual whistleblowing by way of their intention to report wrongdoings. A series of structural equation models are tested using data from the 2010 Merit Principles Survey. The findings show that the more the employees perceive that the consequences of whistleblowing are important, the more the key referents support whistleblowing, and the more the protections for whistleblowers are available, the more likely are their intentions to disclose wrongdoings and then actually engage in whistleblowing behavior. We conduct additional analyses for internal and external whistleblowers separately and find that there are both meaningful similarities and differences between the two groups. This study provides support for the validity of TPB as a theoretical framework for better understanding and explicating the psychological process of bureaucratic whistleblowing.

Aging Well

The predictive value of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) on intention and physical activity (PA) over time was examined. Data from the Aging Well and Healthily intervention program (targeting perceived behavioral control and attitude, not subjective norm) were analyzed, including pretest (T0), posttest (T1, except subjective norm) and 4–6 months follow-up (T2, PA outcomes only) (N = 387, M age 72 years). Structural equation modeling was used to test a TPB model. PA was measured subjectively using the Voorrips sports subscale (T0 and T2), items measured perceived increase in PA (T1), and adherence to exercises (T1 and T2). Model fit was good. The TPB explained variation in intention well (R2 .54–.60) and some PA behavior (R2 .13–.16). The intervention successfully got participants to exercise independent of the measured TPB concepts. More TPB studies in the context of interventions are needed.

Tax Noncompliance

The individual taxpayers’ low awareness has become the main problem of developing countries in tax aspect. Thus, this study aimed to examine the determinant factors of tax noncompliance using Ajzen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior as a theoretical framework. Specifically, Tax Amnesty is added to the theory’s constructs: attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Tax Amnesty is expected to be a moderating influence. The population of this study is individual taxpayer in KPP Pratama Sukomanunggal. Based on convenience sampling method, the number of sample in this study are 145 samples. The data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS.3.0 and SPSS 21. The results indicated that first, attitude and subjective norms are significantly influence behavioral intention except perceived behavioral control. Second, the model including Tax Amnesty provides a significant influence of tax noncompliance in two constructs; attitude and subjective norms. However, the interaction effect of perceived behavioral control does not appear significantly.

BackgroundWe aimed to identify factors that affected COVID-19 vaccination intention within the framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). These were variables associated with the TPB, sex, age, perceived severity of COVID-19, knowing someone who was afflicted with COVID-19, and psychological reactance, which was an individual difference crucial for planning strategies to encourage people to get vaccinated.MethodsA total of 551 Polish people answered an online research panel between December 8 and 14, 2020.ResultsWe used structural equation modeling and showed that attitude (utility beliefs) toward COVID-19 vaccination was the strongest predictor, followed by social norms beliefs, and perceived behavioral control. Older age and knowing someone afflicted with COVID-19 led to higher vaccination intention by perceiving higher severity of COVID-19 and higher levels of all TPB components. Being female and having higher trait reactance negatively affected COVID-19 vaccination intention through lower levels of all TPB components. ConclusionsThe results indicate that COVID-19 vaccination intention is directly determined by all TPB components and affected by sex, age, COVID-19-related variables, and reactance. Our results contribute to the scientific pursuit of encouraging people to take the COVID-19 vaccine by suggesting changeable determinants that could be targeted in health campaigns.

ANTESEDEN DARI MINAT PEMBELIAN PRODUK SHAMPO NATURAL DAN ORGANIKAndrian HaroFakultas Ekonomi Universitas Negeri Jakartae-mail: [email protected] objective of this research is to examine the consumer purchase intention of natural and organic shampoo products based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Specifically, this research considers that consumer values as antecedents of consumers’ attitude toward buying natural and organic shampoo products. A survey was conducted with many respondents from graduate students of Magister Management, Trisakti University, Jakarta, and structural equation modeling techniques was used to test the relationships among the variables. The results show that environmental consciousness and appearance consciousness have a positive effect on attitude. Meanwhile, health consciousness has no significant effect on consumers’ attitude. Moreover, the results showed that TPB predictors which consist of attitude and perceived behavioral control are significantly correlated with purchase intention for natural and organic shampoo products, but not with subjective norm. This research provides valuable insight into consumer purchase intention behavior regarding natural and organic shampoo products by examining the factors that influence consumers’ attitude toward buying natural and organic shampoo products and consumers’ purchase intentions for the products.Keywords: Consumer Behaviour, Theory of Planned Behavior, Attitude, PurchaseIntention, Personal Care

Perceived Behavioral Control

Korean duty-free shops sales rank first among duty-free shops around the world (Generation Research, 2018) and have become a target of interest for academics and industry observers. In particular, attention has been focused on variables affecting the shopping behavior of this fast-growing segment of online duty-free shop users. In this research, the main variables of the technology innovation acceptance model and the target-oriented behavior model are added. Focus is placed on the decomposed theory of planned behavior, and the variables affecting the behavioral intention are identified. A survey is conducted with users of online duty-free shops (Internet, mobile) as targets, and an analysis of the structural equation model is utilized. Among the technology innovation acceptance variables, the factors affecting attitude are compatibility and perceived usefulness. It is determined that only perceived behavioral control has a significant effect on behavioral intention, which is a dependent variable of the decomposed theory of planned behavior, and the attitude and subjective norms are found to have a significant effect on both desire and behavioral intention. Thus, it is confirmed that attitude is a key variable in explaining this research model. This research has academic implications because it examines variables affecting the behavioral intention of online duty-free shop users by integrating the theory of technology innovation acceptance and the decomposed theory of planned behavior, with the addition of a desire variable. Moreover, there are practical implications in that online duty-free shop operators have provided meaningful basic data to establish differentiated marketing strategies from offline duty-free shops with the goal of expanding use. The results of this study are expected to serve as basic data for increasing the behavioral intention of online duty-free shop users and promoting the sustainable development of online duty-free shops in South Korea.

Lifestyle Related Diseases

BACKGROUND Health activities should be tailored to individual lifestyles and values. To raise awareness of practical health behaviors, various practices related to health education, such as interactive activities among individuals with different backgrounds, have been developed. Moreover, serious games have been used as a tool for facilitating communication. However, studies that investigated the mechanisms of behavioral intention change in relation to health through serious games based on the framework of the theory of planned behavior are few. OBJECTIVE The study aims to investigate the mechanisms of behavioral intention change among participants of various age groups after intervention using a serious game called “Negotiate Battle,” which is established to increase awareness of lifestyle-related diseases. METHODS Three age groups (i.e., adults, university students, and high school students) played the serious game and answered a questionnaire before, immediately after, and 2–4 weeks after the game. The questionnaire was composed of four factors according to the theory of planned behavior. The study employed structural equation modeling and compared the results of the three groups. RESULTS The study found that perceived behavior control was the key factor of behavioral intention change. Immediately after the game, causal relationship from perceived behavioral control to behavioral intention was enhanced or maintained for all groups. Analysis of free descriptions after intervention suggested that experiencing dilemma is related to learning and behavioral intention. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed that the serious game changed the behavioral intention of adolescents and adults regarding lifestyle-related diseases, and changes in perceived behavioral control mediated the alteration mechanism.

Purpose This study aims to test the utility of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) for explaining intention to eat a healthful diet in a sample of Southeastern US office workers. Design/methodology/approach Participants in a worksite nutrition study (n = 357) were invited to complete an online questionnaire including measures of TPB constructs at baseline. The questionnaire included valid and reliable measures of TPB constructs: behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs, attitudes toward behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and intention. Data were collected from 217 participants (60.8 per cent response rate). Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted to test the hypothesized TPB model. Findings The model fit was satisfactory (χ2 = p < 0.0001, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.91, TLI = 0.90, SRMR = 0.09). All structural relationships between TPB constructs were statistically significant in the hypothesized direction (p < 0.05). Attitude toward behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control were positively associated with intention (R2 = 0.56). Of all TPB constructs, the influence of perceived behavioral control on intention was the strongest (β = 0.62, p < 0.001). Originality/value Based on this sample of Southeastern US office workers, TPB-based interventions may improve intention to eat a healthful diet. Interventions that strengthen perceived control over internal and external factors that inhibit healthful eating may be particularly effective in positively affecting intention to eat a healthful diet, and subsequent food intake.
