With growing interest in KM-related assessments and calls for rigorous assessment tools, the objective of this study was to apply SEM techniques to refine and cross-validate the KMI, a metric to assess the degree to which organizations are engaged in knowledge management (KM). Unlike previous KM metrics research that has focused on scales, we modeled the KMI as a formative latent variable, ther...

This study explored a path to marital satisfaction based on attachment theory. For this purpose, a sample of 208 Korean married teachers completed a survey on adult attachment, rumination, empathy, forgiveness, and marital satisfaction. Through structural equation modeling (SEM), a path in which adult attachment leads to marital satisfaction, mediated by dispositional forgiveness, was found. I ...

No prior literature explores the influence of green transformational leadership on green performance, thus, this study develops a novel research framework to fill the research gap. This study investigates the influence of green transformational leadership on green performance and discusses the mediation effects of green mindfulness and green self-efficacy by means of structural equation modelin...

Training transfer is an important concern for researchers and practitioners due to the huge budget on training but lower estimation of transfer in practical domains. Researches revealed training design, trainees’ characteristics and work environment characteristics are the most important sets of variables in a training context. This study intended to examine individuals’ cognition of motivation...

By introducing environmental mediator, for avoiding randomness in selecting indicators and subjectivity in deciding interaction path coefficients to reveal interaction mechanism among forest industry, ecology and environmental capacity, structural Pressure–State–Impact–Response (PSIR) and quantitative Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) are utilized with data on thirty–one provinces of China. We...

Transfer motivation is of huge importance in training and effective management of knowledge. This study aims to explore the structural association of operative factors (internal value, learning usefulness, learning environment, learner satisfaction) and motivation of e-learner, for effective skill transfer. Online survey was conducted to collect data from 200 students of Virtual University, who...

Research Design/Methodology: A cross sectional research design was used. The study was carried on primary school teachers in schools in Eastern Uganda. A total of 247 survey questionn...

The concept of effective connectivity permits to study specific circuits in networks which define in a more realistic way the dynamics of the central nervous system, which underlie various cerebral functions. Assessment of effective connectivity measures provides the unique opportunity to determine the functional influences among anatomical brain regions. Connectivity between brain regions is e...

The safety of construction workers is always a major concern at construction sites as the construction industry is inherently dangerous with many factors influencing worker safety. Several studies concluded that psychological factors such as workload, organizational relationships, mental stress, job security, and job satisfaction have significant effects on workers’ safety. However, research on...

This study tests the applicability of an integrated model of deviance – social bonding and learning theories – to drug use among a representative sample of U.S. adolescents (12-17 years old). A structural equation model (SEM) was estimated across all subgroups (age, race, and gender) as well as the overall group. The relationships between exogenous variables (social bond and delinquent peer) an...
