“…Prior to CFA, two important assumptions should be met i.e. no outliers and normality (Byrne, 2016;Hair et al, 2010;Ramlall, 2016). Data screening detected and removed four outliers.…”

“…Normality assessment was performed using the skewness and kurtosis indexes. Results revealed that absolute values of skew are smaller than 3.0, and absolute values of kurtosis are smaller than 7.0, suggesting a normal distribution of the dataset (Byrne, 2016;Kline, 2015;Ramlall, 2016). Subsequently, CFA was conducted to assess how well measurement variables reflect the latent constructs by examining convergent validity and discriminant validity (Hair et al, 2010).…”

Green brand equity becomes increasingly important in green marketing. Increased green brand equity may promote customer's purchasing behavior. This paper investigates the relationship between green brand equity and its driving forces, namely, green trust, green brand image and green satisfaction. The study uses a questionnaire-based survey to obtain data from university students who had some experience of purchasing green items in Ho Chi Minh City. A structural equation modeling approach is used to confirm the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that green trust and green brand image positively affected green brand equity. Moreover, the association between green brand equity and green brand image is partially mediated by green trust. It is also found that the association between green brand equity and green satisfaction was partially mediated by green trust. Thus, activities to promote green trust, green satisfaction, and green brand image are useful in improving green brand equity.

“…Finally, structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to evaluate the associations between SC, knowledge transfer, innovation, and organizational performance. Moreover, SEM is known to be able to deal with many dependent variables compared to regression technique, which usually has one dependent variable (Ramlall, 2016). In addition, this SEM technique has been applied by an increasing number of scholars from different fields, particularly in measuring the SC dimensions (Youssef, Haak-Saheem & Youssef, 2017;Fornell & Larcker, 1981).…”

This article investigates the causal connection between social capital (SC), knowledge transfer, innovation and firm performance. Based on existing literature on social capital, we develop a research model showing that three dimensions of social capital, including network ties, trust and shared visions, have positive relationships with company performance via two mediators, namely knowledge transfer and innovation. Using a sample of 153 Vietnamese firms, including one to two respondents from each firm, our study applied structural equation modeling to confirm the hypotheses. The results show that all three dimensions of social capital were positively related to firm performance with knowledge transfer and innovation acting as mediators. Knowledge transfer and the company's innovation were found to have a strong association with each other. Academically, this paper offers an opportunity to investigate social capital in terms of other factors in one specific industry. Practically, our findings motivate firms to focus on improving knowledge transfer on both quantity and quality prospects to boost firm performance.

“…Several other limitations must be also considered. First, the latent construct lacks direct measure and does not have inherent units (Ramlall, ). Therefore, the direct translation of our results to public health may be limited.…”

Prenatal Maternal Stress and Child IQ

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The evidence for negative influences of maternal stress during pregnancy on child cognition remains inconclusive. This study tested the association between maternal prenatal stress and child intelligence in 4,251 mother–child dyads from a multiethnic population‐based cohort in the Netherlands. A latent factor of prenatal stress was constructed, and child IQ was tested at age 6 years. In Dutch and Caribbean participants, prenatal stress was not associated with child IQ after adjustment for maternal IQ and socioeconomic status. In other ethnicities no association was found; only in the Moroccan/Turkish group a small negative association between prenatal stress and child IQ was observed. These results suggest that prenatal stress does not predict child IQ, except in children from less acculturated minority groups.
