Understanding Mobile Showrooming Based on a Technology Acceptance and Use Model

2021

Showrooming is an increasingly popular behaviour in the omnichannel era. The purpose of this paper is to understand the consumer intention to showroom through a technology acceptance and use model based on UTAUT2 that includes value consciousness and purchase involvement as drivers of showrooming intention and mobile dependency as a moderator. Data collected via a survey answered by 659 showroomers were analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Results show that value consciousness, purchase involvement, hedonic motivation and social influence explain mobile showrooming intention and mobile dependency moderates the impact of value consciousness on mobile showrooming intention. Our results…

Long-term effects of the home literacy environment on reading development: Familial risk for dyslexia as a moderator.

2021

This study aimed to gain better understanding of the associations between literacy activities at home and long-term language and literacy development. We extended the home literacy environment (HLE) model of Sénéchal and LeFevre (Child Development [2002], Vol. 73, pp. 445–460) by including repeated assessments of shared reading, oral language, and reading comprehension development, including examination of familial risk for dyslexia as a moderator, and following development over time from ages 2 to 15 years. Of the 198 Finnish participants, 106 have familial risk for dyslexia due to parental dyslexia. Our path models include development in vocabulary (2–5.5 years), emerging literacy (5.5 ye…

Have Fun with Math and Music!

2019

If abstraction makes mathematics strong, it often makes it also hard to learn, if not discouraging. If math pedagogy suffers from the lack of engaging strategies, the pedagogy of mathematical music theory must deal with the additional difficulty of double fields and double vocabulary. However, games and interdisciplinary references in a STEAM framework can help the learner break down complex concepts into essential ideas, and gain interest and motivation to approach advanced topics. Here we present some general considerations, followed by two examples which may be applied in a high-school or early college level course. The first is a musical application of a Rubik’s cube, the CubeHarmonic, …

The link between vocational identity, study choice motivation and satisfaction with studies

2010

Abstract The study explores the link between student's vocational identity, motivation for their study choice, satisfaction with different aspects of studies and thoughts of leaving their studies.

The study was conducted with 120 students at the Vidzeme's University of Applied Sciences in Latvia. The results show the correlation between the high level of student's vocational identity, intrinsic motivation for study choice and higher satisfacti…

Levels and change in autonomous and controlled work motivation in older workers—The role of proximity to retirement and sense of community at work

2021

Previous studies suggest a preretirement disengagement process from work, which includes reduced work motivation. In this study, we investigated changes in autonomous and controlled work motivation over two years among participants of the Health, Aging and Retirement Transition in Sweden (HEARTS) study. We found stability in both types of motivation; however, those who retired after the study period showed more distinct declines in autonomous motivation. A stronger sense of community at work was related to level, but not change in autonomous motivation. Intra-individual fluctuations in the expected retirement age did not predict work motivation or vice versa. Future studies are needed to be…

Motifs d'inscription et assiduité à un semestre de réorientation en première année universitaire : une analyse exploratoire

2023

Cette communication veut initier un débat sur la réorientation à l'université accompagnée par un dispositif institutionnel de réorientation, ce type de dispositif étant considéré comme favorable aux parcours des étudiants (Demuynck, 2011 ; Dozot, Piret & Romainville, 2012 ; Cattonar & Verwaerde, 2015). Il s'agit ainsi d'évaluer la pertinence de tels dispositifs sachant que les recherches pointent les difficultés de participation des étudiants dans les dispositifs d'aide à la réussite : dans quelle mesure sont-ils assidus à un tel dispositif dédié à la réorientation ? Quels facteurs peuvent contribuer à expliquer leur assiduité ? Cette recherche est menée par le biais d'une analyse explorato…

Dropout intentions in secondary education : Student temperament and achievement motivation as antecedents

2023

Introduction As early school leaving and dropping out from education pose a challenge for later life adjustment, it is important to identify antecedent factors for the risk of school dropout to tailor individual support for adolescents. Consequently, this study examines the role of adolescents' motivational beliefs and behaviors (i.e., success expectations, planning, and task-avoidance) as well as their temperament (i.e., extraversion/surgency, negative affectivity, effortful control, and affiliativeness) in their dropout intentions in the first year of upper secondary education. Methods Participants were Finnish adolescents' (n = 536; 57% girls, mean age 12.39 at outset, standard deviation…
