In order to determine the key content of preventive maintenance of the cement concrete pavement in military airports in the seasonal frozen area, the relationship among pavement diseases is analyzed in this paper, and the degree of impact of each disease on pavement damage is quantified. Based on the survey data of 36 sample airports in 12 provinces, such as Hebei, Shandong, and Liaoning, a questionnaire covering many disease variables affecting pavement damage was designed. The exploratory factor analysis method and structural equation model (SEM) were used to analyze the interaction among joint disease, surface disease, vertical disease, repair disease, and fracture disease. And the influence degree of each disease on pavement damage was quantified as well. The research results show that the questionnaire has good reliability and validity and is suitable for confirmatory factor analysis. The SEM fits well with the observed data and meets the adaptation standard. Joint disease, surface disease, and vertical disease all have significant positive direct impact on pavement damage. Moreover, joint disease and surface disease can also indirectly affect pavement damage. The effects of surface disease (0.327), vertical disease (0.283), and joint disease (0.219) on pavement damage decrease in turn. Surface diseases have the greatest impact on pavement damage, which are the critical diseases to accelerate the pavement damage. By strengthening the prevention and control of surface diseases and delaying the conversion process of other diseases to surface diseases, the service life of the pavement can be greatly improved, and the maintenance cost can be reduced.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh inovasi konsumen dengan beberapa faktor yang menjadi penentu niat berperilaku konsumen. Penelitian ini berupaya mengetahui pentingnya inovasi konsumen, dengan mempertimbangkan rasa terima kasih konsumen, citra restoran dalam berinovasi, dan kewajaran harga sebagai variabel mediasi. Penelitian ini merupakan survei. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Populasi penelitian adalah konsumen di wilayah Surakarta. Sampel ditentukan sebanyak 130 responden dengan metode convenience sampling, yaitu konsumen yang melakukan pembelian di SFA Steak & Resto Surakarta. Pengujian validitas menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), dan Cronbach’s Alpha untuk uji reliabilitas. Analisis data menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM) dengan program Amos. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inovasi konsumen berpengaruh terhadap ucapan terima kasih dan citra restoran, tetapi tidak berpengaruh terhadap kewajaran harga; ucapan terima kasih berpengaruh terhadap kewajaran harga dan niat berperilaku; citra restoran berpengaruh terhadap kewajaran harga dan niat berperilaku; kewajaran harga tidak berpengaruh terhadap niat berperilaku. Implikasi penelitian hendaknya SFA Steak & Resto Surakarta perlu mempertimbangkan pembuatan menu-menu baru supaya semakin variatif pilihan konsumen, selain itu karyawan perlu mengucapkan terima kasih setelah memberikan pelayanan kepada konsumen.Kata kunci: inovasi konsumen, rasa terima kasih, kewajaran harga, citra restoran, dan niat berperilaku

This study was designed to determine the factors affecting hopelessness about the future of 10–12-year-old Turkish primary school students. Firstly, descriptive factor analysis was applied in order to determine the factors affecting hopelessness levels, then a structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to describe the relationship between the specified factors and hopelessness; these relationships were tested by LISREL 8.54. The results indicated that the preteenagers' level of hopelessness was adversely affected by support received from parents and friends. The hopelessness level was also significantly affected by the preteenagers' positive self-definition and parents' educational level.

The objective of this research is to be able to identify the organization silence attitudes of the employees working at the hotels being operated in the city of Rize. For this purpose, questionnaire was applied to 228 employees functioning at the hotels. The data obtained have been analyzed with LISREL program. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis oriented towards determining the organizational silence behaviors of those who have taken part in the survey, favorable significant differences have been identified among the factors of organizational silence behavior. In this context, it has been determined that the most effective variable of "I think that my managers would not listen to my ideas" at a rate of .84 on the factors of Managerial and Organizational Reasons; at a rate of .83 on the factor of the Work – Related Topics "Public speaking can lead to loss of my job" variable; at the rate of .84 on the factor of Lack of Experience of “Since my position I am in is a lower level, my notification of an idea is disregarded” variable; at a rate of .84 on the factor of Isolation Factor “Reporting an issue may reduce confidence and respect felt to me" and at a rate of .87 on the factor of Fear Regarding Harming the Relationships “When I tell the problems, my relationships are damaged” variable. In addition, it has been observed that the Work – Related Topics factor had an influence at the rate of .93 between the factors of Fear of Isolation and Fear of Damaging the Relationships and the factors of Lack of Experience and Fear of Damaging the Relationships had an impact at the rate of .93 between each other.

This article presents the results of the analysis of factors affecting quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam on the basis of the method of confirmation factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM). The results show that 25 factors, 6 goals, which are located in 5 criteria, are the most important for quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam. However, to be able to more fully reflect the results of the analysis, according to the data obtained from the survey, it is necessary to add 17 relationships. The results of the analysis also show that the model achieves convergence, discriminatory value and high reliability, but without unidirectionality.
