“…This makes it impossible to compare the demographics of the survey sample against the demographic of the overall pool of visitors, to ensure the representativeness of the sample. However, by using multi-date cluster samplings with a sample size of 877 respondents, with no observed pattern of non-response behavior, it seems likely that the survey sample offers a reasonable characterization of the visitor pool at the sites in question [45][46][47].…”

Tourists’ Willingness to Pay Increased Entrance Fees at Mexican Protected Areas: A Multi-Site Contingent Valuation Study

It can be challenging to set protected area entrance fees without information on how much visitors are willing to pay. It is particularly difficult for agencies managing multiple sites to set fees without conducting surveys at each location. In order to examine how willingness to pay estimates would vary across sites with distinctive profiles, 877 visitors at five Mexican protected sites (Calakmul, Cobá, Palenque, Sian Ka’an, and Yum Balam) were interviewed through double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation surveys. The results suggest that visitors would be willing to pay higher entrance fees, with mean maximum willingness to pay estimates of 2.8–9.8 times current fees, ranging from US$15.70 to US$25.83. Visitor demand was found to be relatively inelastic, with aggregate fee rises of 26% estimated to result in a 5% decrease in visitation. These results suggest that there is room to raise revenues through moderate fee increases without a concomitant drop-off in visitation.

“…As assertivas do construto de avaliação de desempenho obtiveram p-values entre 0,226 e 0,735, enquanto que do construto sistema de recompensas variaram entre 0,536 e 0,933, do feedback entre 0,044 e 0,961, e performance gerencial entre 0,413 e 0,947. Argumenta-se que os respondentes tardios sejam semelhantes aos não respondentes que optaram por não participar da pesquisa (Wåhlberg & Poom, 2015).…”

Este estudo analisa os efeitos da avaliação de desempenho na performance gerencial mediada pelo feedback e pelo sistema de recompensas. Método: Uma survey foi realizada com 194 gestores de empresas brasileiras listadas entre as Melhores & Maiores da Revista Exame de 2016 e um modelo estrutural foi proposto para testar as hipóteses da pesquisa. Originalidade/relevância: A pesquisa denota que diferentes tipos de controles de um Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) estão associados entre si, e que contribuem de maneiras distintas e complementares na explicação da performance gerencial. O sistema de recompensas foi o construto que se destacou na explicação da relação entre avaliação de desempenho e performance gerencial. A relevância do estudo está na investigação simultânea de múltiplos sistemas de controle de um PMS, o que pode contribuir para entender a relação entre eles e seus efeitos no desempenho. Resultados: Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que a avaliação de desempenho tem efeito direto no feedback e no sistema de recompensas e indireto na performance dos gestores. O maior efeito indireto da avaliação de desempenho na performance gerencial via sistema de recompensas pode ser oriundo do desenho do PMS adotado pelas empresas pesquisadas, em que predominam bônus, compensações e sanções. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Este estudo contribui para o corpo da literatura que examina os efeitos do PMS no desempenho individual em detrimento do desempenho organizacional. Contribui também para a lacuna de pesquisas relativas ao sistema de recompensas e desempenho individual, já que estudos anteriores apresentaram entendimentos distintos quanto aos seus efeitos.

“…However, non-response in survey studies does not seem to result in major response bias, even if non-response is non-random (e.g. related to respondents' interests) [34,35]. In addition, the general characteristics of our respondents seem to correspond with those of Dutch physiotherapists (i.e.…”

Background: This study aims to explore (i) physiotherapists' current use in daily practice of patient-reported measurement instruments (screening tools and questionnaires) for patients with acute low back pain (LBP), (ii) the underlying reasons for using these instruments, (iii) their perceived influence on clinical decision-making, and (iv) the association with physiotherapist characteristics (gender, physiotherapy experience, LBP experience, overall ehealth affinity). Methods: Survey study among Dutch physiotherapists in a primary care setting. A sample of 650 physiotherapists recruited from LBP-related and regional primary care networks received the survey between November 2018 and January 2019, of which 85 (13%) completed it. Results: Nearly all responding physiotherapists (98%) reported using screening tools or other measurement instruments in cases of acute LBP; the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (64%) and the STarT Back Screening Tool (61%) are used most frequently. These instruments are primarily used to evaluate treatment effect (53%) or assess symptoms (51%); only 35% of the respondents mentioned a prognostic purpose. Almost three-quarters (72%) reported that the instrument only minimally impacted their clinical decision-making in cases of acute LBP. Conclusions: Our survey indicates that physiotherapists frequently use patient-reported measurement instruments in cases of acute LBP, but mostly for non-prognostic reasons. Moreover, physiotherapists seem to feel that current instruments have limited added value for clinical decision-making. Possibly, a new measurement instrument (e.g., screening tool) needs to be developed that does fit the physiotherapist's needs and preferences. Our findings also suggest that physiotherapist may need to be more critical about which measurement instrument they use and for which purpose.
