Effect of Research Training Environment on Doctoral Students’ Research Intentions

Lifelong learning is a crucial process that contributes to the continuous professional advancement opportunities for teachers. To promote teachers as lifelong learners, it is essential to leverage comprehensive insights into key mobilizing factors for lifelong learning, including a Lifelong Learning Mindset, Learning Habits, and Self-Directed Learning. This research aims to 1) develop measurement instruments for teachers’ Lifelong Learning Mindset, Learning Habits, and Self-Directed Learning, and to 2) examine the quality of the measurement instruments, including the establishment of norms for all three variables. The research sample consisted of 943 elementary school teachers, selected using stratified random sampling. The measurement instrument consisted of a questionnaire containing 35 items each utilizing a 5-point rating scale. The research findings show that item content validity ratio (CVR) values for each of the instrument subscales ranged between .71 and 1.00, while the content validity index (S-CVI) value for the entire scale was .97. The internal consistency reliability values for the individual variable subscales ranged from .925 to .963, while the construct validity using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) as measured by the Mplus program showed that the measurement model fit the empirical data at the .05 significance level. This study also established percentile norms for the developed instruments.

“…While specific measures to assess the reliability and validity of the NCA construct were not implemented, the study model underwent evaluation using SEM criteria as outlined by Richter et al (2020) beforehand. Component-based SEM was utilized in this study as it generates a linearly combined score suitable for subsequent analysis (Chumwichan et al, 2023;Leruksa et al, 2023;Rasmidatta, 2023).. Following the suggestion by Hwang et al (2017), GSCAM was chosen as the primary estimator.…”

Triggers for Reducing Waste and Disposable Packaging: Insights from Food Truck Consumers in Thailand

Sathatip

2024

This study was intricately crafted to explore the decision-making processes of customers at sustainable food truck venues. The study aimed to examine customers’ pro-responsible intentions by utilizing the Norm Activation Model (NAM) as a foundational framework. This framework was extended by incorporating key factors such as anticipated feelings of pride and guilt, and intentions to reduce disposable packaging and waste within the unique context of sustainable food trucks. Using GSCAM, the validity of the measurements was confirmed. The net-effect analysis and necessary condition analysis (NCA) generally supported the hypothesized relationships within the theoretical framework. Notably, the NAM variables, such as ascription of responsibility and moral norms, and anticipated emotions, emerged as significant and critical influencers of customer intentions, particularly in terms of intentions to reduce disposable packaging and waste. This comprehensive approach enhances both theoretical understanding and practical applications for promoting sustainability within these distinct environments.

“…This research would not be completed without their cooperation. In addition, the researchers would like to thank the prototype research article that they studied for providing insights into the process and research methodologies to adapt for this study (Niyawanont & Wanarat, 2021;Chumwichan et al, 2023;Leruksa et al, 2023;Rasmidatta, 2023;Vilaisri et al, 2023).…”

Structural Equation Modeling for the Business Performance of Private Hospitals in Thailand: Management Perspective

Subongkod,

Hongsakul

2024

This research aimed to study the causal factors affecting the business performance of private hospitals in Thailand from a management perspective. The sample consisted of 411 executives from private hospitals in Thailand, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via questionnaire, with SEM being used for analysis. The results indicated that the development of an enterprise resource system, including the competency and capability of entrepreneurs, positively influenced the focus on competitive differentiation. In turn, this focus had a positive effect on customer relationship management. Customer relationship management positively impacted brand loyalty, which subsequently enhanced business performance. In contrast, the competency and capability of entrepreneurs did not have an effect on business performance. The findings suggest that the growth and sustainability of business performance in private hospitals depends on various supportive factors. These range from policy formulation and the development of technological systems in services to strategies for building customer relationships, all contributing to competitive advantages, service loyalty, and success in achieving set goals.
