“…Although evidence attests to the persuasive power of appeals to a shared identity, context determines which identity messages are accepted as relevant and credible (Haslam et al, 2011). One experiment manipulated participants’ beliefs about their compatriots’ norms regarding COVID-19 practices and then presented a message from a political leader who did or did not use AITT-like rhetoric (Akfırat et al, 2023). The AITT strategy proved most effective among participants who had been led to believe that compliance with preventive measures was normative.…”

“…(2023) who assert that a company is considered compliant with applicable regulations if it conforms to international and domestic laws, regulations, guidelines and specifications relevant to its business processes. Moreover, violations of regulatory compliance often result in legal consequences (Akfırat, Bayrak, Üzümçeker, Ergiyen, Yurtbakan and Uysal, 2023). This finding is explained by CAST which presumes an adaptive tendency where people adjust in a complex environment to match emerging market challenges (Goldstein et al ., 2010).…”

PurposeThis paper offers a story-based/narrative inquiry rooted in qualitative methodology, portraying a millennial entrepreneur in Uganda, a low-developed country that has successfully demonstrated entrepreneurial behaviors at work. The study of entrepreneurial behavior at workplaces by millennial entrepreneurs formed the basis for the real-life trials that entrepreneurs go through in their businesses. Besides, the produced empirical content gives a solid linkage between the story and the enterprise's work setting.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors used storytelling to get a clear view of reality and obtain a real-life experience of entrepreneurial behavior at work. The experiences and perceptions of the millennial entrepreneur were assessed by conducting in-depth interviews while focusing on the context, actions, results and lessons to generate a coherent story.FindingsThis paper reports that demonstrating entrepreneurial behavior at work by the millennial entrepreneur resulted in better performance that ultimately benefited the enterprise. Additionally, findings reveal that story-based narrative inquiry is appropriate for demonstrating the true reality at workplaces, especially in the context of exhibiting the behaviors of entrepreneurs. Other entrepreneurs can emulate what the actor did and benchmark on the findings to improve their performance and that of their enterprises.Originality/valueThis study is unique in its use of a positive story showing a real-life experience of how entrepreneurial behaviors are exhibited at workplaces in micro and small enterprises in a low-developed country like Uganda. The paper also offers evidence and insights into the use of a positive story to demonstrate a practical experience of how millennial entrepreneurs demonstrate entrepreneurial behaviors at work. Additionally, the study used multiple theories that best explained the current practice of entrepreneurial behavior among millennials at workplaces in micro and small enterprises.

“…In the context of COVID-19 vaccination, which is a personal and private behavior, both descriptive norms and injunctive norms have been found to predict vaccination intention, but the impact of injunctive norms was weaker than that of descriptive norms [50,51], although their effect might not be as robust [52]. The differences between COVID-19 and influenza and their vaccines [53] might add more uncertainty: The two vaccines differ from each other substantially when it comes to novelty, the technology used to develop the vaccines, the uncertainty involved regarding vaccine effectiveness, safety, and potential side effects.…”

Predicting COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccination Confidence and Uptake in the United States

This study investigates and compares the predictors of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination confidence and uptake in the U.S. Vaccine hesitancy is defined as the reluctance or refusal (i.e., less than 100% behavioral intention) to vaccinate despite the availability of effective and safe vaccines. Vaccine hesitancy is a major obstacle in the fight against infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and influenza. Predictors of vaccination intention are identified using the reasoned action approach and the integrated behavioral model. Data from two national samples (N = 1131 for COVID-19 and N = 1126 for influenza) were collected from U.S. Qualtrics panels. Tobit regression models were estimated to predict percentage increases in vaccination intention (i.e., confidence) and the probability of vaccination uptake (i.e., intention reaching 100%). The results provided evidence for the reasoned approach and the IBM model and showed that the predictors followed different patterns for COVID-19 and influenza. The implications for intervention strategies and message designs were discussed.
