This study is part of a project investigating school heads’ practices and factors influencing them. The dearth of empirical research on school heads’ practices, their perceived stressfulness and how enjoyable practices performed are necessitated this study. School heads’ practices were examined using a convenient sample of senior high school heads and assistants in Ghana with appropriate statistical tools (exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and multinomial logistics regression). The findings revealed 22 activities that defined school heads’ practices. Regarding those activities, ‘organising information sessions with parents’ and ‘cooperating with organisations’ were least performed while activities related to counselling and administration, which were perceived as stressful, were performed equally. In total, practices perceived as stressful and enjoyable were performed more, while practices enjoyed significantly influenced the performance of practices in general. In practice, the knowledge of stressful and enjoyable practices guarantees the initiation of a suitable coping strategy than being ignorant, thereby improving school leadership and the health of school heads.

Underpinned by Fishbein and Ajzen's (1975) theory of reasoned action, this study examined some factors that influence the formation of the attitudinal constructs of affective union commitment, calculative union commitment and union satisfaction among a sample of unionised e1nployees (N=426) in Singapore. Data was obtained with the aid of structured questionnaires. IISREL 7 confirmatory factor analysis provided weak support for the distinctiveness of the three attitudinal constructs. Results of regression analysis revealed that the model explained different amounts of the variance in the attitudinal constructs. Furthermore, although union instrun1entality and union communication there related to all three attitudinal constructs, in general the independent variables where differentially related to the three constructs. For example, union socialisation was related to affective union commitment while procedural justice was related to affective union commitment and union satisfaction, and distributive justice sas related to union satisfaction and calculative union commitment. Limitations of the study, directions for future research and implications of the findings are discussed

Multichannel integration in retailing is the ability of retailers to combine physical infrastructures (stores) and virtual channels (catalogues, Internet, and mobile shopping) in order to sell and distribute products and the related post-sales services. The purpose of this chapter is to investigate how shoppers perceive three different multichannel integration models in retailing: independent, database, and full-integrated models. The results of a qualitative enquiry and a quantitative survey reveal that when consumers choose among different multichannel retailers, the retailer's brand reputation, the experience with other shopping channels of the same retailer, and the Website design are the most cited factors influencing their purchasing decision. Even though findings disclose that respondents do not perceive multichannel integration as a driver of their shopping choices, the qualitative data indicates the existence of a respondents' attitude towards the multichannel integration, measured in this chapter through an exploratory and a confirmatory factor analysis in the quantitative survey.

Although the mountain is a popular tourist destination, research regarding mountain tourism is still limited. Over the years, researches on tourist satisfaction covered a more general context of tourism, without specifically analyzing mountain tourism. Therefore, this research aims to investigates factors influencing tourists’ satisfaction on mountain tourism, with Mount Papandayan, Garut Regency, West Java, Indonesia, as a case. Eleven variables regarding tourist satisfaction were derived from several interviews with Mount Papandayan’s management staff and 30 tourists that were hiking and camping on Mount Papandayan. A sample of 100 respondents, who were the Mount Papandayan’s tourists that had been hiking and camping, completed questionnaires. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to analyze the data. The results show that there are three factors that affect tourist’s satisfaction in mountain tourism, which are ‘infrastructure and facilities’, ‘natural resources’, and ‘mountain area’s atmosphere’, while CFA validated the model fit. The results also indicated a significant relationship between the three factors. This research provides an opportunity for broader research opportunities in mountain tourism, especially in tropical countries. Keywords : mountain tourism, satisfaction, EFA, CFA
