This study aims to determine the effect of the Theory of Planned Behavior and knowledge of the intention to invest in the assembly of the Taklim Muhammadiyah Sub-District of Sukomanunggal Surabaya. Primary data retrieval in this study used a questionnaire with a sample of 40 taklim assemblies in Sukomanunggal sub-district, Surabaya. The characteristics of the sample in this study were the pilgrims who attended the recitation in the assembly of taklim Muhammadiyah, Sukomanunggal, Surabaya. The sampling technique is Non-Probability Sampling and Simple Random Sampling. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The endogenous variable in this study is the intention to invest, while the exogenous variable used is part of the Theory of Planned Behavior which consists of attitudes, subjective norms, and Perceived Behavior Control and Knowledge. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously and partially attitudes, subjective norms, Perceived Behavior Control, and knowledge have a significant effect on the intention to invest in the assembly of taklim members of Muhammadiyah, Sukomanunggal District, Surabaya. Suggestions for further research to add to the scope of research subjects so that more general information can be obtained about related research, and using other variables outside of this research variable because it should be suspected that there are still several other factors that can influence intention to invest.Keywords: Theory Of Planned Behaviour, Knowledge, Infaq, Intention

Skeptisisme membayar pajak adalah pandangan wajib pajak yang cenderung meragukan pembayaran pajak. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pandangan wajib pajak dalam membayar pajak dan skeptisisme yang timbul dalam membayar pajak. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data kualitatif yang merupakan data-data berupa informasi yang diperoleh dari wawancara dengan informan penelitian. Sumber data yang digunakan terbagi menjadi dua yaitu data primer dan data sekunder. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, baik dari wajib pajak maupun otoritas pajak memandang kewajiban membayar pajak sebagai bentuk kontribusi wajib yang tidak akan kembali dalam bentuk manfaat yang diperoleh secara langsung. Berdasarkan aspek theory of planned behaviour, sikap terhadap perilaku wajib pajak cenderung menanggapi hal yang tidak disenangi atau bersikap negative sehingga semakin besar skeptisisme wajib pajak yang muncul. Keyakinan wajib pajak mengenai sulitnya untuk tidak membayar pajak adalah bentuk kontrol perilaku karena pemeriksaan dan pengawasan yang dilakukan dapat mengendalikan perilaku mereka. Namun kondisi yang sebenarnya yang memunculkan keraguan membayar pajak ini tidak didukung oleh norma subjektif sehingga menunjukkan keraguan membayar pajak tidak semata-mata dikarenakan adanya tekanan sosial. Dalam hal ini kecenderungan bersikap skeptis dalam membayar pajak dikarenakan keyakinan dari dalam diri individu yang membentuk sikap terhadap perilaku dan kontrol perilaku yang dipersepsikan.

Zakah compliance behaviour among Muzzaki has been discussed by academics and practitioners. However, less attention has been paid about how the compliance behaviour and what factors determine this Zakah compliance in Padang society. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the determinants of Zakah compliance behaviour from perspective of Theory of Planned Behaviour. Ten hypotheses are developed and tested in this study. Nine-four respondents filled and returned the questioner. Simple, multiple and hierarchal regression analysis are applied to gain the result. The result show that three hypotheses are accepted (i) perceived behaviour control has a significant effect on an intention to pay zakah, (ii) subjective norm has a significant relationship with zakah compliance behaviour, and (iii) an intention to pay zakah also has a significant impact on zakah compliance behaviour. Practically, the government can increase Ummah zakah compliance behaviour by improve an muzzaki’s intention to pay zakah through reduce the barriers to pay zakah and improve successful factors. This study theoretically contribute to theory of planned behaviour partially

Abstract The information system is a set of related components which serves to collect, process store, and distribute information either done manually or with the aid of a computer to generate information that is useful in decision making. This study aims to examine the factors that affect interest in the use of computerized information systems by perpetrators of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) for decision making by using three variables of the Theory of Planned Behaviour proposed by Ajzen (1991) which are attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control. Fifty-two SMEs in Salatiga have been surveyed and used as a sample. Results from multiple regression analysis showed that perceived behavior control variables affect the interest of the use of computerized information systems. The results showed that the SMEs believe that the use of computerized information systems is easy to do so that SMEs are interested in using the computerized information systems.While the attitude and subjective norm does not affect the interest in the use of computerized information systems, which means that the SMEs have the notion that using computerized SI is not important and the perception of the people around did not affect the interest of SMEs to use the computerized information system. Keywords: Interest in the use of computerized information systems; Small and Medium Enterprises (SME); Theory of Planned Behaviour

An important challenge for franchisors is to find individuals with strong intentions to become franchisees that they can actively support in this ambition. We contribute to franchising research by developing and testing a model to explain individual intentions to become franchisees as a specific type of entrepreneurial intention (EI). We combine Achievement Motivation Theory (AMT) with the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to propose inverted U-shaped associations between individual motivations (i.e. need for achievement and risk-taking propensity), their cognitive assessments of franchising (i.e. attitude towards franchising and perceived behavioural control), and their EI regarding franchising. Our survey of 666 individuals demonstrates that need for achievement impacts attitude towards franchising and perceived behavioural control regarding franchising following respectively inverted U-shaped and declining positive relationships, and they partly mediate the relationships between need for achievement and EI regarding franchising. We find a negative linear association with attitude towards franchising.

Graduate students have become the driving force of scientific research at Chinese universities. Therefore, further work is needed to understand what influences postgraduate students' academic integrity. Using the theory of planned behavior, this study investigated the relationships between postgraduates' attitude toward academic integrity, social norms (subjective, descriptive, and moral), perceived behavioral control, and intentions, and examined the moderating role of social identity in the relationship between social norms and intentions. We conducted a survey with 1,256 Chinese biomedical postgraduate students, and analyzed the data with structural equation modeling. The results show that attitude, subjective norms, descriptive norms, and perceived behavioral control influenced students' academic integrity-related behavioral intentions. The model explained over half of the variance in intentions, indicating that attitude, subjective norms, descriptive norms, and perceived behavioral control were the main variables influencing academic integrity-related behaviors. The theory of planned behavior can be applied in research on postgraduates' academic integrity.

Introduction: Based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), sexual intention is determined by three main socio-cognitive factors which are permissive attitudes, social-norms and self-efficacy in performing premarital sexual activity. Premarital sex associated with increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases and detrimental social implications. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation of the socio-cognitive factors in predicting intention to engage in premarital sex amongst late adolescents in Kuantan government secondary schools. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 466 pre-university students aged 18-19 years from nine government secondary schools in Kuantan district. A self-administered validated Youth Sexual Intention Questionnaire (YSI-Q) was used. Statistical analyses were done using IBM SPSS version 22.0. Results: Permissive attitude (r=0.579, p<0.001), perception of social-norms (r=0.513, p<0.001) and perceived self-efficacy (r=0.253, p<0.001) were positively correlated with the sexual intention towards premarital sex. The higher the permissive attitude, social-norms and perceived self-efficacy, the higher the sexual intention score. There was a significant difference in the level of sexual intention between male (35.6%) and female (64.4%) with mean (SD) score of 10.54 (3.8) and 7.3 (2.9) respectively. Students with premarital sex experience (1.5%) showed significantly higher score in sexual intention than student without premarital sex experience (t=4.54, p<0.001). Conclusion: This study confirmed permissive attitude, perception of social-norms and perceived self-efficacy were positively correlated with sexual intention towards premarital sex among the late adolescents. Therefore, it is important to consider this TPB theoretical framework in designing sexual abstinence intervention to curb the unsafe sexual behaviour.
