“…In regards to statistical evidence, the resource availability ( p < 0.01) is significantly related to perceived behavioural control. It is supported and confirmed in Chang, Chou, Yeh, and Tseng () where resource availability plays an important role in the perceived behavioural control. Furthermore, the relatively large effect size of resource availability ( β = 0.523) strongly indicates that the tourists' behaviour normally relies on the resource availability in both internal and external factors, such as the individuals' ability, opportunities, resources and cooperation of others (Shiau & Chau, ).…”

The aim of this study is to examine the extended model of Theory of Planned Behaviour in predicting tourists' intention in seeking medical tourism in Malaysia. The additional variables in this model are perceived risks, perceived benefits and resource availability whereby it is predicted to have influences to the model of Theory of Planned Behaviour. Sample is drawn using a quota sampling technique. A total of 380 completed questionnaires are collected. The partial least square approach is employed so as to conduct a comprehensive and vigorous structural equation modelling analysis. The results show that perceived benefits and perceived costs are significantly related to attitude; resource availability is significantly related to perceived behavioural control; and attitude and subjective norm are significantly related to intention for medical tourism in Malaysia; however, the perceived behavioural control is found to be insignificant to intention. Attitude and subjective norm are also significantly related to intention for medical tourism in Malaysia. However, the perceived behavioural control is found to be not insignificant related to intention. The findings of this study can serve as the blueprint for future research in the similar area with reasonable modification on the model construction in order to enhance and improve the theoretical extension model of Theory of Planned Behaviour.

“…Limited studies have examined the consumer's interest in the attributes of mobile apps and whether the attributes influences the ratings of a mobile app? Some of the relevant research suggests that mobile app attributes are critical external stimuli triggering individual's internal cognitions and emotions [10], [12], [32], [39], [47]. In fact, [10] asserted that three domains of technology product attribute trigger approach-avoidance behavior: product appearance (visual appeal), product performance (usefulness, ease of use, navigation, and innovativeness of technology) and product communicative power (self-expression, information).…”

Smartphones have become the colossal point of attention for both individuals and businesses worldwide resulting into a whole level of new and innovative experience in mobile computing. Mobile applications (mobile app) is an upshot of such innovative mobile computing and produces a noticeable change in the way humans feel and experience. Each and every mobile app has a rating attached to it on App store, which measures the overall feedback of users for a particular mobile app. The present research develops a theoretical research model as a framework to identify the key decision factors influencing Indian users to rate mobile banking apps. A mix method approach consisting of qualitative interviews and a self-administered survey was used to gather information from 343 respondents in Delhi, India. The empirical analysis identifies and ranks six important decision factors: login time, visual design, navigational design, information design, collaboration and service quality, influencing the ratings of a mobile app. This study is one of the very few that has attempted to investigate the relationship between mobile app attributes and user ratings for retail banks and for providing new insights into mobile app attributes of retail banks and their effects on user ratings.

“…20 Training is a tool for improving the quality of performance, solving managerial problems, empowering the human resources of an organization, and increasing efficiency. 19,21 A literature review showed that to date no study has examined the parameters of medical tourism and educational requirements. Training programs should be created for the effective performance of relevant people who have specific roles and responsibilities in the tourism and healthcare sectors.…”

“…22 Studies in the field of medical tourism training are few. This may be due to the lack of other infrastructures, such as laws and regulations, equipment, and other facilities for medical tourism, 20,21,39 and the lack of attention to training, because it is qualitative. 56 Studies have a positive effect on the development of medical tourism by influencing the training of staff, but most studies show a lack of training among staff members.…”
