“…We decided to use the structural equation modelling technique-a widely used method, but so far not (or very rarely) used for analysing farmers' life quality. Similar analyses were carried out on other social groups, for example, while analysing the impacts of leisure and tourism on the elderly's quality of life in Japan [155], assessing preferences among quality of life dimensions for the elderly (people aged from 65 to 94 years old) [156], or examining the relationships between authenticity, subjective happiness, and life satisfaction [157]. As we can see, SEM can be used mainly to analyse not the life quality level, but the relationships between the elements of this concept.…”

“…Mental comfort was represented by the observed variables stress and free time. Negative consequences of stress and lack of free time have been described many times in research on both mental and physical health [165,166], as well as in research on farming [61,63,102,156,167]. Also, Windon et al [48] found out that farmers' life quality was lowered mostly by stress-generating factors connected to farming (input costs, financial pressures, and cost of agricultural equipment) and lack of sleep (meaning absolutely no free time in busy season).…”

Life quality is an important indicator of sustainable development. Farmers’ quality of life strongly affects the farm’s viability. The main goal of this study was to identify the relationships between three main components of farmers’ quality of life: economic situation, living conditions, and mental comfort. In the first phase of the study, the theoretical model representing potential relationships between quality of life components was constructed, and in the second phase the relationships were verified with the use of the structural equation modelling method. The sample consisted of 600 farmers participating in the Polish Farm Accountancy Data Framework (FADN). In the analyses, data from the FADN database and data obtained during supplementary interviews with farmers were used. The analyses revealed that living conditions are significantly and positively correlated with the economic situation and mental comfort, while mental comfort turned out to be negatively correlated with the economic situation. It was concluded that future agricultural and rural development policies should be more focused on the social dimension of sustainable development than before, particularly considering the fact that a farmer’s higher engagement in the improvement of their family’s economic condition might result in lowering their mental comfort due to the stress and work overload.

“…Participants without children more often experienced support for living a good life from PHVs than those who had children. Good social relationships and meaningful activities are among the most important aspects of positive functioning and well‐being among older people . We surmise that relationships with children and grandchildren contribute to meaningfulness and good lives.…”

“…This section presents a review of the SEM literature that has supported this research. Elosua [17] proposed a model in the framework of SEM to assess preferences among quality of life dimensions for the elderly. Likewise, the recent work of Caridad and Ocerín [18] provides clear examples of SEM using AMOS.…”

36th Cordoba Guitar Festival: Spectator Analysis Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Cordoba Guitar Festival is one of the most important cultural events in Spain. This article analyses the musical preferences, satisfaction, attitudinal loyalty, and behavioural loyalty of spectators who attended the 36th festival held in July 2016, as well as the festival’s economic impact on the city. These characteristics of the public give rise to the four hypotheses of this study. To achieve this aim, a structural equation model (SEM) was used. The results −χ2 = 27.79, with the p-value found to be p = P (χ2 ≥ 27.79) = 0.224—show the goodness-of-fit of the model and indicate that the observed data do fit the expected dataset. The results therefore allow us to accept the proposed hypotheses concerning the influence of different latent factors, such as musical preferences, loyalty, and satisfaction with the festival. This is the main focus with which the present study has been written. Regarding the economic impact, the Festival raised 1.2 million euros, that is, slightly more than 73,000 euros per day. The amount, although not very high, is important as additional income for the city. The conclusions show the need to consider the preferences of the spectator as an essential tool to enable the continuation and longevity of the Cordoba Guitar Festival—an important cultural destination.
