“…The results also extend research on ethical leadership in different ways. First, this study confirms that, as already observed in the literature, the ethical leadership construct is related to work engagement (Ahmad & Gao, ; Asif et al, ), job satisfaction (Benevene et al, ; Qing, Asif, Hussain, & Jameel, in press) and leader–member exchange (Walumbwa et al, ), extending the existence of these associations to a health care setting. In particular, the positive relationship with leader–member exchange confirms that ethical leadership, although different, shares some characteristics with other leadership styles, which in this case is the positive orientation towards employees in order to share and implement moral and ethical behaviours (Den Hartog, ).…”

“…Regarding the effects of ethical leadership, the literature suggests that they are related, among others, to an enhanced sense of meaning and well‐being in the workplace (Avey, Wernsing, & Palanski, ), organisational commitment to the organisation (Lotfi, Atashzadeh‐Shoorideh, Mohtashami, & Nasiri, ; Neves & Story, ), trust in organisations (Xu, Loi, & Ngo, ), and organisational ethical climate (Demirtas & Akdogan, ; Treviño et al, ). Furthermore, ethical leadership seems to be positively associated with work engagement (Ahmad & Gao, ; Asif, Qing, Hwang, & Shi, ), job satisfaction (Benevene et al, ; Qing, Asif, Hussain, & Jameel, in press) and leader–member exchange (Walumbwa et al, ), and it seems to be negatively associated with employee burnout (Mo & Shi, ).…”

Aim To validate the Ethical Leadership Scale by Brown, Treviño and Harrison (2005) in Italian language, and assess, in health care setting, whether ethical leadership is related to leader–member exchange and also job satisfaction, work engagement, cynicism and organisational service climate. Background Ethics is a key component in health care professions, and leaders have to encourage ethical behaviour. Unfortunately, no instrument is currently validated in Italy and the associations between this construct and the proposed measures have been understudied. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted in a large organisation offering health care services. All employees were invited to fill an online survey. The answers of 637 respondents, working in 48 centres for elderly and disabled people, were examined with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and aggregated at the centre level to test the association among the examined measures. Results The 10 items on the ethical leadership scale load on a single factor, negatively related to cynicism and positively related to the other examined variables. Conclusion The proposed scale is a reliable tool to assess the ethical leadership of Italian health care managers and nurse leaders. Implications for Nursing Management The scale allows to assess and monitor ethical leadership in health care workplaces. Supporting ethical leadership may stimulate employees' work attitudes and promote organisational service climate.

“…Table 3 further demonstrates the composite reliability (CR) values of the constructs and all of them were bigger than the 70 thresholds [97,98]. In addition, the average variance extracted (AVE) values for all of the constructs exceeded the recommended value of 0.50 [97,99], suggesting a high level of convergent validity. Lastly, the values of the square root of AVE for each construct were greater than the values of the inter-correlation between a pair of constructs, indicating discriminant validity [100].…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the antecedents and consequences of travelers' well-being perceptions in the context of a duty-free shop. For this, data were collected from 742 Chinese tourists who purchased goods at duty free shops while traveling in Korea within the past year using an online survey company's system in China. The results indicated that pragmatic, hedonic, and sociability experiences have a positive influence on travelers' well-being perceptions. In addition, travelers' well-being perceptions aided the enhancement of brand attitude and brand preference, which in turn positively affected word-of-mouth. Novelty is the originality of this study as very few studies on this topic are presented in the extant literature and practical implications are also discussed.

“…The descriptive statistics and the associated measures, which include the average variance extracted (AVE), the composite reliabilities, the correlations, and the squared correlations [113][114][115] are reported in Table 4. The measurement model provided an acceptable fit [116] to the data (Table 4). For the individual measurement items, the factor loadings should be higher than 0.70 [117], demonstrating convergent validity.…”

This study examined the antecedents and the consequences of tour motivations. More specifically, this study proposed how two sub-dimensions of a country's image, such as the cognitive and the affective destination images, affect tour motivations. In addition, it was proposed that tour motivation helps to enhance tour quality and tour satisfaction. Lastly, this study examined the effect of tour quality the tour satisfaction on word-of-mouth. A total of 623 samples were employed in order to test the seven hypotheses. This study employed the AMOS program to conduct confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The results of the data analysis showed that the cognitive and the affective destination images play an important role in the formation of the tour motivation. This study also found that tour motivation has a positive influence on tour quality. Additionally, the current study confirmed the effect of tour quality on tour satisfaction. Lastly, the influences of tour quality on tour satisfaction and word-of-mouth were identified.The global tourism industry has become progressively more profitable and more competitive, so the vast majority of destination marketing organizations (DMOs) have concentrated their endeavors on explicitly creating a better destination image in order to be more appealing in the psyches of the potential tourists, since the travel industry is one of the segments that provide the biggest contributions to the financial improvement of a country [4]. If the destinations inside a country are the spots that are known and favored by international travelers, it will impact the regional development and improve the nation countrywide. Since the destination's image influences the tourists' basic decision-making process and travelers' opinions in connection to a specific travel destination, it is along these lines that a country must show a positive image to the potential travelers [5].When examining the behavior of a tourist, the tourist motivation can be viewed as the essential factor [6,7]. A push-pull model for travel motivation was created by Crompton [8], which recognized the push-and-pull consequences for a traveler's destination decision and experience. As indicated by this model, the push power motivates a traveler to venture out from their home and look for some undefined getaway destination, and the pull power forces a traveler toward specific destinations that are seen as appealing on account of their characteristics [9,10]. A few researchers have expressed that the motivation is identified with the affective part of the image, and a person's affective image for a destination is affected by the traveler's motivation, which is centered upon their past travel encounters [11][12][13]. In the previous tourism literature, numerous researchers recognized the significance of understanding better the relationship of variables, such as travel motivation, destination image, visitor satisfaction, revisit intentions, and intention to recommend [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, few...
