The main objective of this research paper is to examine the mediating roles of place attachment and tourist satisfaction on destination attractiveness and loyalty relationship using the phantom approach among foreign tourists visiting Langkawi Island, Malaysia. Tourists from three countries listed in the top 20 international markets visiting Malaysia were chosen as the target population. The survey was conducted at the departure hall of Langkawi International Airport using a simple random sampling method. A total of 365 useful questionnaires were returned and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The findings of the study have empirically demonstrated that destination attractiveness had no significant direct influence on destination loyalty. However, the study discovered that tourist satisfaction and place attachment fully mediated the relationship between destination attractiveness and destination loyalty. Destination attractiveness has an indirect effect on destination loyalty. The study also illustrated that the tourist satisfaction factor had a stronger mediator effect than place attachment factor in the destination loyalty relationship model. The study suggested several insightful recommendations to the destination management office in maximizing tourist's experience with cultural attractiveness and adequate infrastructure, thereby, enhancing the visitation of international tourists to Langkawi Island.

“…It was stated by Doherty, Green & Ensminger (2008) that delinquent behavior was highest in late adolescence (age 17-18) and it declined in adulthood. It was also observed that delinquent youths tend to be more drug involved than non-delinquent youths (Brunelle et al, 2014); Mohamad et al, 2018). Delinquency, behaving in a way that was illegal or not acceptable by the general society, was an anti-social behavior.…”

“…During this stage, individuals were deemed to be dependent on family for emotional and economic support (Furlong, 2013). In Malaysia, youth was categorized as individuals aged between 15 and 40 years old (Mohamad, Mohammad, Ali & Awang, 2018). For some youth, this phase of life was the most challenging and stressful period, dealing with the pressure arising from their desire to be independent whereas, at the same time, they were still depending on families for support.…”

“…Drug-abuse and delinquent behavior were strongly correlated, where drug abuse could lead to delinquency or vice versa (Wilson & Howell, 1993). It was discovered that delinquency was a leading factor that contributed to youth substance abuse (Mohamad et al, 2018). On the other hand, in some cases those who were involved in drug abuse would in turn become involved in criminal acts.…”

The incidents of drug-abuse behavior has escalated especially among youths in Malaysia. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the effects of social support on drug abuse through life satisfaction. Delinquency was treated as the mediating factor on the relationship between life satisfaction and drug-abuse behavior. A survey was conducted among youth addicts getting treatment at rehabilitation centers. A total of 275 questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling. Findings revealed that social support had a significant influence on life satisfaction. Delinquency had a full mediating effect on the relationship between life satisfaction and drug abuse. An increase in life satisfaction would reduce delinquency and drug-abuse behavior among youth by enhancing social support assistance. Therefore, rehabilitation programs should be focused on matching the drug dependences' needs for social support to increase the chances of remaining sober and achieving success in ending the cycle of relapse.

Purpose: This study intends to highlight the importance of Employee Commitment as a bridge between Transformational Leadership and Employee Performance in the construction companies. Methodology: The respondents were selected randomly from the list of construction workers registered with the construction firms in Jordan. The selected respondents were given a self-administered questionnaire to attend at their own convenient time. The studies employed Structural Equation Modelling in IBM-SPSS-AMOS 24.0 to model and estimate the inter-relationships among the constructs in the study. Result: The results showed transformational leadership has a positive and significant influence on both employee commitment and employee performance. The results also indicated that employee commitment has a positive and significant influence on employee performance. More importantly, the study found that employee commitment partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee performance. Applications: The results of his study highlighted the importance of employee commitment in generating their work performance, especially in the construction industry. Novelty/Originality: At present, the study on the mediating role of employee commitment in the relationship between transformational leadership style and employee performance is limited, especially in the construction industry where the employee commitment is extremely important to ensure the project can be delivered on schedule.
