The influence of COVID-19 on educational processes has halted physical forms of teaching and learning and initiated online and mobile learning systems in most countries. The provision and usage of online and e-learning systems are becoming the main challenge for many universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the novelty of this situation, a substantial amount of research has been carried out to investigate the issue of m-learning adoption or acceptance. Nevertheless, little is known about studying to examine the continued use of m-learning, which is still in short supply and calls for further research. Five different theoretical models are integrated into this study to develop an integrated model that overcomes this limitation, including the technology acceptance model, the theory of planned behavior, the expectation-confirmation model, the Delone and McLean Information System Success Model, and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Utilization of Technology 2. This conceptual framework shows novel relationships between variables by integrating trust, personal innovation, learning value, instructor quality, and course quality. Unlike extant literature, this study utilized a hybrid analysis methodology combining two-stage analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and evolving artificial intelligence named deep learning (Artificial Neural Network [ANN]) on 250 usable responses. The sensitivity analysis results revealed that attitude has the most considerable effect on the continued use of m-learning, with 100% normalized importance, followed by perceived usefulness (88%), satisfaction (77%), and habit (61%). This research reveals that a “deep ANN architecture” may determine the non-linear relationships between variables in the theoretical model. Further theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

More and more people over-rely on social software, which causes anxiety due to their failure to check work information in time. However, this type of scale has not been developed yet. The objective of this study was to develop a measurement tool for early childhood teachers’ fear of missing out on work information and verify its reliability and validity. Based on the Fear of Missing Out Scale developed by Przybylski et al. this paper with the methods of interview and Delphi investigation, re-developed the Fear of Missing Out Scale for early childhood teachers’ work information. The exploratory factor analysis showed that the scale was divided into two dimensions, and the confirmatory factor analysis data showed that the scale had good convergent validity. The retest results of the scale showed that the scale had high stability. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were in line with the requirements of measurement, and it was an effective measurement tool for evaluating early childhood teachers’ fear of missing out on work information. Taking 270 early childhood teachers in Guangzhou as the subjects, the data showed that the fear of missing out on work information of early childhood teachers in Guangzhou was at a moderate level. The teacher’s teaching grade had no significant impact on the early childhood teachers’ fear of missing out on work information, but teaching experience had a significant negative impact on the fear of missing out on work information.

Background: As in any important exam, selective assessment tests for access to university in Spain are associated with emotional distress, depressive symptoms, and burnout, among other negative aspects in the students who face them. In the present study, we propose to explore the presence of burnout and suicidal ideation in students who take these exams. Methods: For this purpose, we worked with a sample of 872 students aged from 17 to 24 of the last course of high school who were going to take the university access evaluation test in Spain. Of them, 476 (55%) were assessed three months before the test, and 390 (45%) were assessed on the days of the examination. Results: Our results showed significant levels of burnout in these students as well as positive suicidal ideation. Furthermore, higher levels of burnout are associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation in the participants, having found that the students could present suicidal ideation months before taking the test. Conclusions: Our results are novel and highly relevant, bearing in mind that these aspects had not received much attention in our national context, where the selective test is an indispensable requirement for access to university.

Like other developing countries, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected the public’s mental and physical health in Bangladesh. People, especially, in the country’s capital city, Dhaka, have suffered as a serious consequence of the pandemic in various ways, for instance, fear, stress, sadness, isolation, and loneliness. The study investigates parents’ perceptions of sending their children to kindergarten or primary school during the COVID-19 pandemic in Dhaka North City (DNCC), Bangladesh. The research employs several qualitative tools for answering the stated questions and objectives. Adopting a purposive sampling procedure, 30 informants from two wards were selected in the DNC area. We examine the “Field Theory” approach developed by Brager and Holloway to prepare the interview guide administered to these 30 informants. Apart from in-depth interviews, the study utilizes focus group discussions (FGDs) to obtain comprehensive data from them. The study reveals that parents have various perceptions about sending their children to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, making decisions based on psychological state, behavior patterns, quality education, and school safety measures. Parents feel insecure about sending their children to school as the institutional authorities are unaware of sanitizing the premises. As well, quality education greatly concerns the parents making such decisions about sending their children to school. The study recommends that the government, school authorities, and guardians take safety measures seriously inside the homes and the schools’ premises to help ensure children can safely attend primary schools.

This research was carried out utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the correlation between Informal Workplace Learning (IWL) and Employability. This investigation considers the role of competency development as an intermediary factor. The study tested a moderated mediation model using data collected from 512 employees from all five banks located in Bhutan. The findings supported initial hypotheses. Utilizing structural equation modelling (SEM), the study found that IWL significantly impacts employability, and this relationship is fully mediated by competency development. However, the expected moderating effects of Self-directed Learning Orientation (SDLO) and Learning Goal Orientation (LGO) on the connection between IWL and competency development were not observed. In simpler terms, the results suggest that IWL contributes to the development of competencies, which in turn enhances employability. Yet, SDLO and LGO do not enhance the influence of IWL on competency development. Additionally, qualitative techniques were employed to gather insights into the experiences related to IWL, competency development, and employability, providing a complementary perspective to quantitative findings. Overall, this study holds significance for shaping human resource policies formulation and strategies related to employee growth and development.

This study analyzes the influencing factors of residents’ intention to participate in e-waste recycling behavior with the help of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) model. On the basis of factor analysis, through correlation analysis and regression analysis, this paper conducts an empirical study on the influencing factors of residents’ intention to participate in e-waste recycling behavior, revealing the formation mechanism of residents’ intention to participate in e-waste recycling behavior. The results show that Values, Awareness of consequences, Ascription of responsibility, Behavior attitude, Perceived behavior control and Personal norm are the main factors that affect residents’ participation in e-waste recycling behavior, and the impact of perceived behavior control is the most significant. The research results can help understand the formation mechanism and implementation process of residents’ e-waste recycling behavior intention, predict the possibility of residents’ participation in e-waste recycling behavior in the future, and provide some reference and inspiration for the research of residents’ participation in e-waste recycling behavior in China. In addition, we can essentially understand the reasons for the low recovery rate of e-waste and the lack of scale, and provide reference for the government and relevant departments to formulate corresponding policies and enterprises to establish a standardized recovery system.

Online social supports empower consumers to communicate and share their knowledge and experiences with each other through social commerce platforms. The communication becomes more important for online communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing scholars have studied social commerce; however, lack of studies has focused on social supports and TAM constructs. Also, a growing concern on the reliability and validity of comments of online consumers would jeopardize the success of social commerce business. Therefore, the research addresses the research gap by proposing a conceptual model. On the basis of the technology adoption model (TAM), this research considers social supports, consumers online purchase intentions and the role of trust as a mediator in Malaysian context. A total of 200 respondents participated. The data are collected via online platforms and analyzed using PLS-SEM software. The results reveal that the social support, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have significant effects toward purchase intention in social commerce platforms. Meanwhile, trust mediated the relationship of social support and purchase intention. The present study discusses the research implications, limitations, and future directions.
在线社交支持使消费者能够通过社交商务平台相互交流和分享他们的知识和经验。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，在线社区的交流变得更加重要。现有学者对社交商务进行了研究，但缺乏对社交支持和 TAM 构建的研究。此外，人们越来越关注在线消费者评论的可靠性和有效性，这将危及社交商务的成功。因此，本研究通过提出一个概念模型来填补研究空白。在技术采用模型（TAM）的基础上，本研究考虑了马来西亚背景下的社会支持、消费者在线购买意向以及信任作为中介的作用。共有 200 名受访者参与研究。数据通过在线平台收集，并使用 PLS-SEM 软件进行分析。结果显示，社会支持、感知易用性和感知有用性对社交商务平台的购买意向有显著影响。同时，信任对社会支持和购买意向之间的关系起到了中介作用。本研究讨论了研究意义、局限性和未来方向。

This paper aims to investigate the impact of complexity and mystery on the perceived legibility of citizens in urban parks. The theoretical framework is based on Rachel and Stephen Kaplan’s theory (four cognitive states) and Lynch’s legibility theory. The method is descriptive correlational. Data collection was done through a survey questionnaire and mental maps. The paper uses Lynch’s mental maps and asks people to draw some aspects of the parks they remembered the most and compare the results with the surveys. The data analysis uses descriptive and inferential techniques as well as logical reasoning. The research claims a significant correlation with a higher-than-average coefficient between the legibility indicators (path, edge, node, district, landmark) and complexity and mystery in urban parks. The conclusion is that districts in urban parks have the most significant impact on the overlapping of citizens’ collective mental maps. Landmarks, paths, edges, and entrances are almost equally and moderately fuzzy-scale on the legibility of citizens’ mental maps in urban parks. Nodes play less of a role in citizens’ collective mental maps than other park elements. Parks with too many entrances, non-linear paths, indistinguishable districts, and undefined edges are not perceptible to citizens, and citizens’ perceptions of space differ significantly from the existing reality. The correlation between legibility dimensions, such as edges, nodes, landmarks, districts, paths, and entrances, is higher than the fuzzy scale average. Moreover, the legibility in each dimension will affect legibility dimensions a lot. Lynch’s theory of legibility in the spatial perception of parks and Kaplan’s theory of complexity and mystery criteria appear to be not fully responsive. It differs based on the features of each park, such as openness and closeness. For future research, it is better to comprehensively understand by using all dimensions of Kalpan’s theory: complexity, mystery, refuge, and prospect.
本文旨在研究复杂性和神秘性对市民在城市公园中可辨识性的影响。理论框架基于 Rachel 和 Stephen Kaplan 的理论（四种认知状态）和 Lynch 的可读性理论。研究方法为描述性相关分析。数据收集通过调查问卷和心理地图进行。本文使用林奇的心理地图，要求人们画出他们记忆最深刻的公园的某些方面，并将结果与调查问卷进行比较。数据分析使用了描述和推理技术以及逻辑推理。研究表明，城市公园中的可读性指标（路径、边缘、节点、区域、地标）与复杂性和神秘性之间存在明显的相关性，且系数高于平均值。结论是，城市公园中的区域对市民集体心理地图的重叠影响最大。地标、路径、边缘和入口对城市公园中市民心智地图可读性的模糊程度几乎相同。与其他公园元素相比，节点在市民的集体思维导图中所起的作用较小。入口过多、非线性路径、难以区分的区域、边缘不明确的公园都无法被市民感知，市民对空间的感知与现有现实有很大差异。边缘、节点、地标、区域、路径和入口等可读性维度之间的相关性高于模糊标度的平均值。此外，每个维度的可辨识度都会对可辨识度维度产生很大影响。林奇的公园空间感知中的可读性理论与卡普兰的复杂性理论和神秘性标准似乎不能完全对应。根据每个公园的特点，如开放性和亲近性，其可辨识性也有所不同。在未来的研究中，最好使用卡尔潘理论的所有维度：复杂性、神秘性、避难所和前景来全面理解。

Many scholars have focused on the advantages and characteristics of Orff Schulwerk in improving students’ music learning performance; however, the effects of students’ perceptions of Orff Schulwerk on their learning performance remain unexplored. Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study explored the differences among college students of different grades in terms of Orff Schulwerk perception, music learning interests, and learning performance; the effects of students’ perceptions of Orff Schulwerk on their music learning performances and the mediating effect of music learning interest, with 433 Chinese college students majoring in preschool education as the samples. The results showed that college students of different grades show no significant differences in Orff Schulwerk perception, music learning interests, and learning performance; college students’ perceptions of Orff Schulwerk had a significant positive effect on their music learning performances, and their music learning interest had a partial mediating effect. Supplementing the theoretical literature on Orff Schulwerk, this study fills the gap in literature, extends the application of the TAM to the field of education, and provides a practical reference for colleges and universities to use Orff Schulwerk for provoking college students’ learning interest and improving their performances.

The results showed that college students of different grades show no significant differences in Orff Schulwerk perception, music learning interests, and learning performance; college students’ perceptions of Orff Schulwerk had a significant positive effect on their music learning performances, and their music learning interest had a partial mediating effect. Supplementing the theoretical literature on Orff Schulwerk, this study fills the gap in literature, extends the application of the TAM to the field of education, and provides a practical reference for colleges and universities to use Orff Schulwerk for provoking college students’ learning interest and improving their performances.","PeriodicalId":502744,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Social Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139152230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the dynamic banking industry, job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and employee engagement are interconnected. The study on Indian public and private banks examines how these factors ensure long-term viability and global competitiveness. Employee engagement, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) are studied. Job satisfaction and OCB are examined to see if employee engagement mediates. This study prompted the banking sector’s growing awareness of the need to retain and satisfy employees and customers for profitability and stability. To achieve these goals, you must understand these variables’ complex relationships. A sample of 234 Indian public and private bank employees represents the banking workforce. The cross-sectional quantitative study used structured questionnaires. Statistical analysis was rigorous with Smart PLS 3 and structural equation modelling (SEM). Job satisfaction affects OCB and employee engagement. Job satisfaction and organizational citizenship are mediated by employee engagement. This novel study empirically examines the complex relationships between these banking industry factors. This study can help bank managers and policymakers retain customers and improve organizational effectiveness.
