“…Research by Chung, Fam & Holdsworth, (2009) reported how social and cultural factors are important predictors that shape the enrollment decisions for college-going students. Other research refers to the impact of significant others, i.e., parents, teachers, and friends who serve as role models, and influence the hopes and aspirations of college goers (Hossler, Braxton & Coopersmith, 1989).…”

This paper investigates various predictors of high school students' college and university choice decisions in Qatar. Based on a 2015 survey of 1,427 participants, this study utilized exploratory factor analysis to identify variables that affect student choice of higher educational institutions (HEI). Three factors were extracted from the analysis, revealing the following aspects of the academic experience as important when choosing a HEI: i) quality of education; ii) cultural values; and iii) the cost of education. Ordinal logistic regression was employed to test whether several independent variables (student's gender, nationality, parental education, and parental occupation) act as significant predictors of the three extracted dimensions (dependent variables). The analysis revealed, to varying degrees, that demographic characteristics significantly predict a student's HEI choice. Discussion on postulated reasons behind the recorded relationships will follow, along with implications and recommendations for further study and research. The study's findings will assist HEIs in Qatar and the broader region, to position themselves more effectively, and develop targeted strategies that attract and maintain a diverse student population.

“…Data non-normality is assumed to be noncritical where a substantial sample size (e.g. 200 or more) is used (Hair et al, 2014) with a multivariate data analysis using maximum likelihood approximation in AMOS (Chung et al, 2009). Yet we assessed data normality by calculating skewness and kurtosis values (Hasan and Kashif, 2021;Tandon et al, 2021).…”

PurposeEnd-of-life electronic products exchange (EEPE) program could be an effective approach to e-waste recycling that requires consumers' participation. Thus, it is highly recommended to study factors stirring consumer behavior with regard to EEPE programs, which is largely under-explored in the existing literature. Hence, grounding on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Attitude-Behavior-Context (A-B-C) model, this study attempts to understand the determinants of consumers' EEPE intention by adding contextual and non-cognitive factors to the proposed research model.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a purposive sampling technique, respondents were drawn from university students and general consumers of electronic products in a developing country. Factor analysis, structural equation modeling (SEM) and SPSS PROCESS were used to analyze the collected data.FindingsEmpirical results confirm that subjective norm has the strongest positive impact on EEPE intention. Following this, attitude toward EEPE and perceived behavioral control play positive mediating roles in determining EEPE intention. Moreover, government initiatives moderate the unsolicited “attitude–intention gap”.Practical implicationsDrawing on this study's outcomes, the study urges to form comprehensive awareness-building campaigns, rules and regulations regarding proper e-waste management, promote “exchange offer” programs and educational programs to encourage EEPE.Originality/valueThis study makes two fresh contributions to the extant literature. First, by coupling the TPB and A-B-C theory, this study showed that both attitude (i.e. attitude toward EEPE) and context (i.e. government initiatives) are essential in eliciting individual-level post-consumption pro-environmental behavior (PEB) (i.e. EEPE). Second, government initiatives elucidate the attitude–intention gap in the reverse logistics context, especially in developing countries.

“…There are many research studies about factors influencing student"s university choice in the world, these can be categorize in three level containing national levels (Bidet and Newman, 2001), international level (e.g. Choy Chung, 2009), and both (Kee Ming, 2010).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the attraction of students’ selection of Jordanian universities. For this purpose a model has been designed to test these factors. The model is divided into seven dimensions including: university’s attributes, economic factors, Geographic factors, reference groups and marketing communication, Attraction and Selection University.Seven hypotheses were developed based on the dimensions of the study as well as the relevant literature to achieve this aim, the researchers used a convenience sampling technique. A total of (321) respondents completed the research questionnaire, which distributed in (6) private universities which located in Amman. The distributed questionnaire consists of (35) questions that measured using a 5 points liker scale.The collected data were analyzed by using spas for descriptive statistic and amours analysis to assess the structural and measurement model for the proposed study model.The findings indicated that is an impact of all factors on the attraction of students for selection universities.Also, the findings showed the complementary partial role of attraction between the study factors and students' selection for universities.
