“…This finding somewhat casts doubt on the results of other studies in TPB, which have neglected the human effect on behaviours (e.g. Thompson & Panayiotopoulos, 1999;Tonglet et al, 2004). Thirdly, this research attempts to provide insights into the relationship between social pressures and cooperative intention.…”

Many studies have tried to explain the inter-firm relationship especially inter-firm cooperation. However, among them, the role of social influence has gotten little empirical investigation or to be neglected. Using survey data from SME tourism enterprises in Vietnam, the study tries to explain inter-firm behaviours based on integrating theories from different disciplines. The study reveals that cooperative intention is the main predictor of cooperative decision. Further, it confirms the positive influence of social impact and similarities between partners on inter-firm cooperation. The study provides theoretical and managerial foundations because the research addresses the relationships among these constructs in inter-firm context.

“…It is believed that "attitude toward a certain behavior is determined by a set of salient beliefs about certain outcomes caused by the behaviors and the corresponding evaluation on the outcomes" (Kankanhalli et al, 2005). Because we aim to investigate the personal factors related to the intended behavior of knowledge sharing, the evaluation of outcomes is classified into the costs and benefits that a person expects to experience/receive after sharing knowledge (Thompson, 1999). Moreover, since our research focuses on the Chinese context, we include a number of factors that are important in this context including mianzi (face) and guanxi since factors specific to the Chinese culture are expected to exert an important influence on individual behavior ( Figure 1).…”

“…In the agricultural sector, some studies have shown that 'attitudes' were the most important predictors of behavioural intention (Thompson and Panayiotopoulos, 1999;Garforth et al, 2004;Wolff, 2012). On the other hand, Ellis-Iversen et al (2010) showed that lack of supportive social norms and of self-efficacy deterred farmers from their intention to control some foodborne diseases.…”

PREVET (2013) a b s t r a c tThe objectives of this study were (1) to explore the factors involved in the decision-making process used by pig farmers for disease control and (2) to investigate pig farmers' attitudes and perceptions about different information sources relating to disease control. In 2011 a qualitative study involving 20 face-to-face interviews with English pig farmers was conducted. The questionnaire was composed of three parts. The first part required farmers to identify two diseases they had experienced and which were difficult to recognize and/or control. They were asked to report how the disease problem was recognized, how the need for control was decided, and what affected the choice of control approach. For the latter, a structure related to the Theory of Planned Behaviour was used. Their verbal responses were classified as associated with: (1) attitude and beliefs, (2) subjective norms, or (3) perceived behavioural control (PBC). In the second part, five key sources of information for disease control (Defra, BPEX, research from academia, internet and veterinarians) and the factors related to barriers to knowledge were investigated. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. A qualitative analysis of the text of the interview transcripts was carried out using templates.Drivers for disease control were 'pig mortality', 'feeling of entering in an economically critical situation', 'animal welfare' and 'feeling of despair'. Veterinarians were perceived by several participating farmers as the most trusted information source on disease control. However, in particular non-sustainable situations, other producers, and especially experiences from abroad, seemed to considerably influence the farmers' decision-making. 'Lack of knowledge', 'farm structure and management barriers' and 'economic constrains' were identified in relation to PBC. Several negative themes, such as 'lack of communication', 'not knowing where to look', and 'information bias' were associated with research from academia.This study identified a range of factors influencing the decision-making process for disease control by pig farmers. In addition, it highlighted the lack of awareness and difficult access of producers to current scientific research outputs. The factors identified should be considered when developing communication strategies to disseminate research findings and advice for disease control.© Please cite this article in press as: Alarcon, P., et al., Pig farmers' perceptions, attitudes, influences and management of information in the decision-making process for disease control.
