“…The results obtained for Romania are opposed to the theory, which stipulates that people with an internal locus of control, meaning those who consider being in control of future events, save more and more often. These results are contrary to similar studies on other European countries, such as Germany, where a positive relationship was observed between internal locus of control and saving (Bucciol & Trucchi, 2021). This deviation from the general rule can be considered an effect of the past communist regime in Romania, which has had more severe economic consequences compared to other countries in Europe.…”

This paper presents the results of a survey carried out by the authors in two different countries that share a common language and culture, Romania and Republic of Moldova. The aim of the study is to analyze three dimensions of the Money Management Behavior (saving, overspending and financial awareness) and to integrate them into a model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior. The structural equation modelling analysis reveals that saving is influenced negatively by Success and Centrality (two dimensions of the materialism scale), External locus of control and Pain of paying. Overspending is influenced negatively by Centrality, Happiness and Pain of paying, and positively by Social norms and Internal locus of control. Success, Social norms and Internal locus of control influence positively the financial awareness of individuals, whereas Pain of paying influences it negatively. The financial and socio-psychological behavioral differences in these two countries are compared and discussed.

“…See Bandura (1997), Ajzen (2002), andLightsey et al (2011). 2 Some studies use internal and external locus of control as separate constructs in their analyses (Caliendo et al, 2015;Bucciol and Trucchi, 2021). As the objective of our analyses is to study the relationship between self-control and locus of control more generally-rather than a nuanced understanding of the different components of locus of control-we construct and use a single continuous locus of control measure, consistent with many previous studies (Cobb-Clark et al, 2014;Caliendo et al, 2015;Buddelmeyer and Powdthavee, 2016;Awaworyi Churchill et al, 2020).…”

Although Destination Sustainable Responsibility (DSR) has become a critical factor in upholding tourists’ satisfaction and positive behavioral outcomes, research on how tourists perceive different attributional dimensions (e.g., controllability, stability) about the existing information adequacy on tourists’ behavior is limited. Additionally, no study has investigated how DSR influences leisure tourists’ satisfaction across various characteristics. Therefore, the current research has the novelty of examining the effects of Destination Sustainable Responsibility (DSR) on leisure tourists’ satisfaction. The study reveals two attribution theory dimensions, controllability, and stability, as mediators and information adequacy as a moderated mediation. Additionally, the study investigates how tourists’ personalities (extroverted, conscientious, neurotic, open, and agreeable) affect their perceptions of attribution dimensions. A quantitative analysis of 464 tourists who experienced leisure activities in sustainability resorts in the Red Sea was conducted to explore these relationships. The results provide a better understanding of how DSR affects leisure tourists’ satisfaction and how different personalities influence their perceptions. Our research findings demonstrate that tourists’ perceptions of destination sustainability initiatives (DSR) are contingent upon the controllability and stability of events and that extraverted and conscientious tourists reach different attributions on DSR than those with neuroticism and openness levels and agreeableness. Additionally, it appears that information adequacy concerning the controllability of events is privileged over the event’s stability about informant amount with DSR. We explore the implications of our conclusions from both theoretical and management perspectives.
