Abstract

The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is recognized as powerful predictive model to explain consumer purchase behaviour. However, there have been relatively few studies that determine the role of TPB’s constructs in e-cigarettes decision-making process. Moreover, the TPB ignores the impulsive motivation (i.e., hedonism) and unconscious motivation (i.e., habit) and perceived knowledge in the literature. This study adopted a quantitative method based on a survey with 293 young respondents using e-cigarettes. The proposed hypotheses were empirically tested with SPPS and AMOS. This study revealed that perceived knowledge positively influenced attitude, subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) respectively. The results showed a positive relationship between attitude, SN, PBC and intention, and intention positively influenced actual e-cigarettes use behaviour. The results also demonstrated how consumers’ hedonic motivation and habit influence intention. Lastly, the theoretical and practical implications and limitations were discussed.

Abstract

Compared to traditional fuel-powered cars, electric vehicles (EVs) are widely acknowledged as a viable form of transportation and an effective way to address the issues of energy scarcity and air pollution. However, the majority of countries, including China, have recently lowered their preferential treatment and will instead adopt a market-driven strategy to promote EVs. Thus, it is critical to identify the particular elements that support and undermine consumer decisions to choose EVs. This study investigates the impact of perceived value (PV) and consumer ethnocentrism (CE), along with components of TPB, on consumers’ intentions towards the adoption of domestic EVs by using a convenience sample method to collect data. The results showed that attitude, subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) positively influence intention. SN positively influences attitude, and attitude plays a mediational role between SN and intention. In addition, PV and CE positively influence attitude towards purchasing domestic EVs. Last, the theoretical and practical implications and limitations are discussed accordingly.

Abstract

There is an ample evidence to show how students’ cheating behaviours formed in Western countries, comparatively, few studies focused on Chinese students. The purpose of this study is to measure the influence of attitude, subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioural control (PBC), and additional variable which is moral obligation on intention among Chinese students who were studying in China and the U.K. A total of 540 useable questionnaires were collected based on web-based method for further hypotheses testing. The results show that attitude, SN, PBC and moral obligation positively influence intention to cheat respectively. The SN displays significant positive influence on attitude and moral obligation. In addition, statistically significant differences in SN, PBC and intention were obtained between gender, majors and educational level and studying places which show that males had more intention than females on cheating. Major of management students had more PBC than engineering and economics students, fresh and sophomore had more PBC than junior students, and students who were studying in U.K are more influenced by SN compared to who were studying in China. This study enriches the existing knowledge on how Chinese students’ attitude, SN, PBC and moral obligation on cheating intention based on divergent demographic characteristics.

Abstract

Teachers’ behaviours significantly influence students’ learning outcomes but also play an important role in national development and construction. However, few studies have attempted to investigate the interrelationships between teachers’ professional identity, work engagement, emotion, and attitude towards career satisfaction. This study aims to explore the effect of professional identity and emotion on work engagement and career satisfaction separately and to investigate the influence of work engagement on attitude and, subsequently career satisfaction. A convenience sampling technique includes 221 valid questionnaires that were subjected to descriptive analysis followed by subsequent empirical testing of the populated hypotheses using SPSS and AMOS. Results showed that professional identity and emotion positively influence work engagement and career satisfaction respectively. Work engagement positively influenced attitude and, subsequently career satisfaction. Last, the theoretical and practical implications and limitations were discussed.

Abstract

Few studies have investigated students’ perceptions towards using intelligence & interactive virtual massive open online course (IMOOCs) although IMOOCs is an adaptive technique to resolve the massive open online course problems. This study aims to investigate the influence of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control on intention to use IMOOCs based on the technology acceptance model and theory of planned behaviour. A total of 216 students were recruited as respondents and further tested the hypotheses proposed based on PLS-SEM. The results show that perceived usefulness positively influences attitude, and perceived ease of use positively influences perceived ease of use and, subsequently attitude. Meanwhile, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control positively influence intention towards using IMOOCs. Lastly, theoretical and practical implications as well as limitations are discussed accordingly.

Abstract

Homesickness is a well-studied phenomenon among international students, traditionally viewed as a negative experience. However, emerging research suggests that it can also have positive implications for other individuals. This exploratory study aims to address this gap by investigating the potential benefits of homesickness on international students from diverse cultural backgrounds and exploring the coping mechanisms they employ to manage it. Utilizing a purposive sampling approach, the study recruited ten participants: five from Africa, three from America, and two from Asia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with each participant, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of their experiences with homesickness, its impact on their lives, and the coping strategies they utilized. The findings indicate that homesickness can act as a catalyst for positive change, fostering identity-based cohesion, a willingness to learn, and cultural appreciation resilience. Participants reported re-evaluating and redefining their existing relationships, underscoring the significance of social connections. The study also identified various coping mechanisms employed by students, including cultural engagement, social networks, and the utilization of emotional coping strategies. Overall, our study suggests that while homesickness presents challenges, it can also serve as a trigger for personal growth and positive development among international students.

Abstract

This study adopts CiteSpace software to conduct a visualization analysis of artificial intelligence-enabled (AI-enabled) ideological and political educational literature obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 2018 to 2024. The results showed that the number of journal articles regarding AI-enabled ideological and political education exhibits a consistent upward trend. The main authors have not yet formed a scale effect and the degree of collaboration among them was limited. In addition, the research hotspots primarily focused on artificial intelligence-related technologies to improve ideological and political education scenarios and the reform paths of high-educational courses. The findings of this study suggest that future research should consider incorporating interdisciplinary collaboration, technological integration and innovation, and the construction of the curriculum system that contributes to AI-enabled ideological and political education.
