“…This theory was firstly proposed by Icek Ajzen and succeeded the theory of reasoned action, this extension added the perception of behavioral control as another predictor of behavior & intentions (Madden et al, 1992). According to Randall (1991) TPB is a helpful tool in order to study and learn as how the behavior of a personal can be changed. The TPB model indicates that intention is directly determining by three factors subjective norm, attitude, and behavior control.…”

“…Subjective norms and behavioral control shown the set of significant behavioral, normative and control beliefs on the subject of behavior but the accurate scenery of these relations are still unsure. All of them influence an individual to show a deliberative behavior (Randall & Gibson, 1991). Accordance to the theory it involves that there are individual's behaviors that driven the behavioral intentions and intentions towards the behavior and subjective norms which is surrounding by the performance of the behavior.…”

“…It posited that, if a person expects a constructive consequence and senses that significant others would boost such behavior, progressive intentions are expected as outcomes. Randall and Gibson (1991) focused the medical profession in their study and smeared the theory of planned behavior. They suggested that the amalgamation of attitude toward performing the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control could confirmed nearly 61% of the adjustment in intent to account the health professional.…”

The purpose of this paper is to review the conceptualization of the adaptation of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with religious orientation in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The underlying assumption for TPB implication in SMEs is that employee's behavioral intention at work may be modified via TPB which shall improve the employee competitiveness, which in turn increases the organizational success factors in the industry. The proposed conceptual framework is based on well-known analytical framework for TPB developed by Ajzen, (1991). Literature suggested that religion engenders the shape of behaviour, which is strongly followed by people. Based upon conceptual and empirical evidences framework and propositions are developed to test the adaptation of TPB and religious orientation in SME. The proposed framework provides a basis for developing an empirical model to advance the TBP with religious orientation in SME which further can be test across the SME sectors and results from different geographical and cultural settings may also be explore. This research contributes to existing knowledge by extension of TPB in SMEs operating in Pakistan, which would result in the improvement of employee's behavior. This study could be of practical value for SMEs owner/ managers, who want to maximize the employee behavior through effective adaptation of TBP with religious orientation that support their organization.

“…For example, it is utilized to better understand healthcare professionals' behavior towards patients (e.g., Godin, Naccache & Fortin, 1998;Godin, Naccache, Morel & Ebacher, 2000;Jenner, Watson, Miller, Jones & Scott, 2002;Levin, 1999;Liabsuetrakul, Chongsuvivatwong, Lumiganon & Lindmark, 2003;O'Boyle, Henly & Larson, 2001). The theory is employed to understand ethical decision-making in the workplace (e.g., Flannery & May, 2000;Kurland, 1995;Randall & Gibson, 1991), employee health (e.g., Boudreau, Godin, Pineau & Bradet, 1995;Harrison & Liska, 1994;Sheeran & Silverman, 2003), and employee compliance with workplace policies (e.g., Boissonneault & Godin, 1990). It has been applied in academic settings to improve student health (e.g., Astrom & Mwangosi, 2000;James, Tripp, Parcel, Sweeney & Gritz, 2002;Martin, Hodges-Kulinna, Eklund & Reed, 2001).…”

Within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), this study compared the relative usefulness of utilizing a focus group or survey methodology when eliciting restaurant employees' beliefs about performing three important food safety behaviors (handwashing, using thermometers, and cleaning and sanitizing work surfaces). Restaurant employees completed both a survey and focus group interview assessing their beliefs about food safety. Results obtained through surveys were observed to be comparable to focus groups, suggesting researchers employ the less expensive and less time-consuming survey methodology.The strengths and weaknesses of each method are discussed. Specific salient beliefs (e.g., advantages, barriers, etc.) about the behaviors offer implications for workplace food safety interventions and training.

Self sanction and regulative sanction against copyright infringement: A comparison between U.S. and China college students

Worldwide losses due to the copyright infringement of intellectual property such as PC software, music recordings, and motion pictures continue at epidemic proportions in emerging countries. This article develops a research model for analyzing individual ethical decision making that is influenced simultaneously by two chief forces: regulative sanction and self sanction. In particular, we report on the differences between 241 U.S. and 277 China college students' self-reported copyright infringement behaviors and attitudes. The analysis shows that the China subjects exhibit less concern about being prosecuted and penalized, but are equally responsive to social sanctions as U.S. subjects, strongly suggesting that stricter enforcement of copyright law in China will reduce copyright violations. However, the results show that self-regulatory efficacy is the primary determinant of copyright adherence for the U.S. subjects. For the China subjects, while self-regulatory efficacy is shown to significantly predict copyright infringement behaviors, it exists at lower levels and plays a lesser role in ethical decision making when compared to the U.S. subjects. Overall, the results indicate that normative and cultural-cognitive changes in China that go beyond regulative enforcement may be required if significant reductions in copyright infringement are to be expected.
