Understanding learning behavior using location and prior performance as moderators

This study proposes and validates a research model that examines individuals’ learning behavior. Drawing on social cognitive theory (SCT), this study postulates self-efficacy, outcome expectations, social influence, and facilitating conditions as the key drivers of individuals’ learning behavior. Learners’ residential location and prior performance are also considered as moderators in the proposed model. This study contributes to the education literature by extending traditional SCT models to examine the previously unexplored area of environmental factors containing social influence and facilitating conditions, by validating idiosyncratic drivers of learning behavior and by presenting an operationalization of location and prior performance as two moderators in the learning behavioral formation. Finally, implications and limitations of the research are also provided.     

Modeling perceived job productivity and its antecedents considering gender as a moderator

This study proposes a conceptual model for examining the formation of perceived job productivity and its antecedents. In the model, leader–member exchange and job satisfaction both directly and indirectly influence perceived job productivity, with the latter effect occurring through the mediation of organizational commitment. Gender moderates each model path. The moderating effects are simultaneously tested using data from 344 engineering staff of a large Taiwanese high-tech manufacturer. Lastly, the empirical findings and their implications are discussed.

Assessing perceived value: moderating effects of susceptibility to brand prestige and susceptibility to normative influence

Concerns about individuals’ susceptibility to brand prestige and their social implications of consumption often affect consumer behavior. To clarify such concerns in depth, this study assesses the relationship between brand credibility and perceived value by simultaneously examining the main effects and moderating effects of both susceptibility to brand prestige and susceptibility to normative influence. Empirical testing using a survey of 336 smartphone users from the high-tech and banking industries confirms most of the hypothesized effects in this study. Finally, based on its findings, this study discusses managerial implications as well as research limitations.
