“…The consequence of such a situation is that tourists resign from such facilities in favor of other hotels and their buying consumer behavior becomes variety-seeking consumer behavior (Chauhan and Negi 2018). It is particularly important that young people, who represent a large part of the tourism market, do not trust the state but their friends and relatives (Nagaj and Szkudlarek 2019). Therefore, to a large extent they will be guided by the opinion of other people about such facilities.…”

The main aim of this article was to assess whether the level of competitiveness of accommodation facilities results from the level of safety and security provided to consumers of these services, measured by the number of security measures applied in them. The authors’ task was to examine the level of concentration of security measures in the accommodation facilities and to assess whether the quality of services measured by the star-rating system provided a higher level of safety and security for customers of the accommodation facilities, measured by the number of security measures applied in them. It was decided to examine whether the level of concentration of security measures at the accommodation facilities was treated by these entities as a factor of their competitiveness. Two locations in Central and Eastern Europe, one in Poland and one in Lithuania, were analyzed. The article calculated the frequency of these measures at the accommodation facilities by type of facility (according to the star-rating system) and type of security measure (as a weighted average) and their concentration using the Herfindahl–Hirscham Index. The results showed that the higher the quality of services provided (more stars), the higher the level of safety and security is ensured. It was also found that a higher level of security was not reflected in the prices of accommodation services.

“…As the literature indicates, social capital includes not only relationships and trust, social competence, and a link to academic education, but also institutional relationships and public perceptions of the state [33]. Such multi-directional relationships found in social capital theory are in line with the RRI concept, which emphasizes the need for cooperation between stakeholders, such as the state, academia (science), industry, and society.…”

“…Hence, when analyzing the concept of responsible research and innovation, attention should also be placed on factors such as the public's perception of democracy, the level of civil society, and the evaluation of the general activity of public institutions. Following the definition of the state by G. Jellinek [37], the literature indicates that social capital analysis can be useful to analyze this type of relationship, especially the perception of the state [33].…”

Symbolic narratives, such as an “ivory tower”, a “grey zone”, or a “black box” tell us about the gap between university and society, and academia and industry. Recently, they have been replaced by the Quadruple Helix model, which closes the gap by connecting four main stakeholders—government, university, industry, and society, into an innovation ecosystem. However, the roles of the different stakeholders are often blurred and difficult to define, and it is difficult to develop a basic approach to implement responsible innovations in industrial ecosystems in general. On the other hand, the interactions between stakeholder groups, especially universities and industry, are not sufficiently demonstrated in both scientific literature and empirical studies. We note that the responsible research and innovation (RRI) approach should facilitate a framework of shared taxonomy among stakeholders. By highlighting this situation, we follow the paradigm of emerging thinking and we seek to fill this knowledge gap theoretically and empirically. Therefore, in this study, we combined several strategies and perspectives. First, we conducted survey research concerning social capital in Poland and Lithuania to understand the impact of social capital and trust on stakeholder cooperation. Second, we conducted interviews with scientists who actively work to transfer knowledge into industry. Third, we utilized field notes from working experiences in research management. This work has theoretical and practical implications. The theoretical contribution of the paper demonstrates the construction of methodology based on emerging perspectives, and new theoretical insights, on professional discourses for implementing the responsible innovation approach in industrial ecosystems, by highlighting the commitments of main stakeholder groups. Practical input: our insights and empirical research will contribute toward sustainability policymaking and achieving substantial results in industrial ecosystems. The results indicate that if there is trust, then the government, companies, and society (in Poland and Lithuania) would be willing to cooperate with each other. However, there is a lack of trust and cooperation between universities and businesses. Stakeholders have become increasingly aware of the emergence of a science and industry cooperation as an open platform, enlarged with society and policies. They note the problem of making research public and transparent as part of a new mode of cooperation; however, they articulate RRI as a framework of shared taxonomy.

“…More specifically, these theoretical abstractions depicted students’ learning motivation through multidisciplinary approaches i.e., psychoanalytic, humanistic, socio-academic, and developmental ( Deci and Ryan, 1985b ; Ryan and Deci, 2000 ; Krbec and Currie, 2010 ; Helal et al, 2019 ). The assumptions depicted that students’ personal characteristics (age, sex, socio-economic status, and cultural background), disaffection from studies, academic relations (parents, teachers, and peers), personal learning skills, goal-directedness, and classroom context determine their academic outcomes in schools ( Vansteenkiste et al, 2010 ; Nagaj and Szkudlarek, 2019 ). These theories put forward students’ interests in their studies, conceptual learning, and basic need fulfillment (competence, autonomy, and relatedness) which further determines their ability to cope with academic challenges.…”

The Role of Stakeholders Participation, Goal Directness and Learning Context in Determining Student Academic Performance: Student Engagement as a Mediator

There is a growing body of literature on the predictors of student academic performance. The current study aims to extend this line of inquiry, and has linked stakeholders’ participation, goal directness and classroom context with students’ academic outcomes. Using the multistage sampling technique, the researchers collected cross-sectional data from 2,758 high school students. This study has employed regression analysis (simple linear regression and hierarchical linear regression modeling) to test the study hypotheses. The results revealed that learning context produces highest variance in students’ engagement (R2 = 59.5%) and their academic performance (R2 = 42%). It is further evident that goal directness has the highest influence on students’ academic performance (Std. β = 0.419) while learning climate of the classroom frequently affects their engagement (Std. β = 0.38) in studies. Results also illustrated that students’ overall engagement (R = 99.1%: Model-5 = 0.849) and cognitive induction (R2 = 79.2%: Model-5 = 0.792) yield highest variance in their academic performance. Although stakeholders’ participation causes low variance in students’ academic performance but the role of parents, teachers, peers and students (themselves) remained significant. Further, student engagement mediates the direct relationship (s) of independent and outcomes variable. The findings of the present research could be potentially useful for policymakers and schools to ensure the elevation in students’ engagement and their academic performance in studies.
