Small-scale sports events are a good strategy for communities seeking to attract visitors and are one of the major attractions of sustainable sports tourism. The aim of this study to determine which factors influence the future intentions of the tourist involved in small-scale sports events. The sample was composed of 236 subjects who participated in a half-marathon in Spain. The results of the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) provide support for the applicability of the tourists’ perception questionnaire in the context of sports events. The results of both validity (convergent and discriminant) and reliability (internal consistency) analyses were satisfactory. The results indicated that this scale had 18 items distributed in six factors (communication, staff, electronic wordofmouth, destination image, satisfaction and future intentions). The proposal model revealed that satisfaction is a mediated factor between staff and destination image with future intentions of repeating the event. Electronic word of mouth and satisfaction were influencing factors that predicted the tourists’ future intentions. This finding suggests that this questionnaire can be a useful tool in measuring tourist perception on a small-scale sports events scale, allowing a better understanding of the reasons that lead a tourist to select a certain destination and sports event.

Rumors are often shared in the marketplace about products, services, brands or organizations; both in the online as well as in the offline scenarios. These rumors get communicated from consumer to consumer in the form of Word of Mouth (WOM). An exhaustive review of literature identified four motivations for consumers to share rumors in the marketplace; which included anxiety management motivation, information sharing motivation, relationship management motivation and self enhancement motivation. The review was not conclusive in identifying any scales for the measurement of these motivations. The article develops a scale for measuring these four motivations. Structured interviews were initially conducted to identify 33 items that motivate a consumer to share rumors. Based on an exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis four factors were identified and the final scale retained 21 items. The scale displayed good scores of reliability and validity.

School Heads

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.

Electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) is a word-of-mouth promotion using internet-connected electronic devices. However, e-WOM among students has not been effective as it has not created any impacts on universities concerned. The purpose of this research is to evaluate e-WOM among students and direct the occurrence of positive e-WOM which will ultimately impact universities, especially private universities in Medan. This study used the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method to test how well measured variables represent constructs or the preformed factors. This research is quantitative involving 210 students of the fourth semester above. The data collected were processed with AMOS Program. The confirmatory factor analysis tests showed as many as 21 indicators remained in the model. The goodness-of-fit value of all models for each variable is received after the modification process.

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.
