Examination of the Factors that Influence Teleworkers’ Willingness to Comply with Information Security GuidelinesGodlove, Timothy 20 May 2011 (has links)
With the increased use of teleworkers, it is important to understand how teleworker attitudes are related to the willingness to accept and follow guidelines that maintain data security in the telework environment. The objective of the study was to evaluate the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior and the idea of subjective norms as a means of explaining teleworker compliance in using information technology (IT) security guidelines in a telework environment. A sample of 150 respondents who considered themselves formal and informal teleworkers and were eligible for membership in The Telework Exchange completed an original Teleworker Security Survey. Descriptive and linear regression analyses were used to determine relationships existing between willingness to follow organizational teleworker data information security guidelines and practices. The findings of the analyses demonstrated that Personal Attitude, Social Pressure, and Sense of Control represented a weak to moderate model for explaining teleworker willingness to follow an organization’s security guidelines. This study is significant to organizations with teleworkers by identifying insight on attitudes of teleworkers regarding data security, sense of control and sense of responsibility teleworkers have regarding the confidentiality and integrity of data, and the intent of teleworkers to follow security protocols in a telework environment.

Kollektivtrafiken i ett bilberoende samhälle : En kvantitativ studie om individens åsikter och attityderBowin, Gustaf January 2016 (has links)
Denna studie handlar om befolkningens attityd mot kollektivtrafik och bilism i Nacka. Ämnet är framför allt intressant då det sker stora satsningar i området som kommer att leda till en omfattande utveckling av kollektivtrafiken. Studiens syfte är att undersöka attityder och beteende (även förväntat beteende) mot bilism och kollektivtrafik i Nacka. Med hjälp av kvantitativa metoder ska dessa besvaras, mer detaljerat har en enkät formats som delades ut till hushåll i Nacka. Vidare undersöks också om det finns någon skillnad i åsiker mellan åldersgrupper. Resultatet visar att respondenterna har en positiv attityd mot kollektivtrafiken och dess framtida utveckling och förstår bilens olika negativa konsekvenser, dock känner sig de flesta väldigt beroende av bilen, framför allt pensionärer som inte ser sig själva byta transportmedel. Detta gäller även deras förväntningar efter kollektivtrafiken har utvecklats med nya tunnelbanan (och Tvärbanan). Den åldersgrupp som ansåg sig vara minst beroende av bilen låg i åldersgruppen 26-35 år.

Self-Determination Theory och Theory of Planned Behavior: Teoretiska ramverk för att predicera träningsmängdPelander, Laura, Sundström, Jesper January 2019 (has links)
Träning medför såväl fysiska som psykiska hälsofördelar. Trots att detta är vedertaget, tränar människor olika mycket och det finns även en andel människor som tränar otillräckligt. I föreliggande studie användes Self-Determination Theory (SDT) och Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), för att undersöka om faktorer inom dessa teorier kan förutsäga hur mycket människor i åldern 18 – 30 tränar i veckan. Data från personer som tränade olika mycket (n= 196, Målder= 24.94, SD= 2.69) samlades in genom ett elektroniskt självskattningsformulär som bestod av frågor om träning, Behavioral Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) och Theory of Planned Behavior Questionnaire. Multipla regressionsanalyser genomfördes för att undersöka hur väl SDT, TPB och en kombination av dessa predicerade träningsmängd. Resultatet visade att SDT och TPB såväl enskilt som tillsammans förklarade en signifikant andel av variansen i träningsmängd, samt att autonom motivation från SDT och upplevd beteendekontroll från TPB var de bästa prediktorerna för träningsmängd. Detta pekar på att en upplevelse av att träning är lätt, glädjefyllt och en integrerad del av en själv, förutsäger hög träningsmängd i veckan. Framtida forskning kan med fördel undersöka vilka andra faktorer utöver SDT och TPB som kan förklara varför människor tränar olika mycket. / Exercise entails both physical and mental health benefits. Despite this being common knowledge, people differ in the amount of exercise performed and some even exercise insufficiently. In the present study Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) were used to examine if factors within these theories can predict the amount of exercise performed in a week by people in the age of 18 to 30 years. Data from people that differed in the amount of exercise (n= 196, Mage= 24.94, SD= 2.69) was gathered through an electronic survey consisting of questions regarding exercise, Behavioral Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) and Theory of Planned Behavior Questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine to what extent SDT, TPB and a combination of these were able to predict the amount of exercise. Results showed that SDT and TPB, both together and on their own, explained a significant amount of the variance in the amount of exercise performed and that autonomous motivation from SDT and perceived behavioral control from TPB were the best predictors for the amount of exercise performed. This suggests that the experience of exercise being easy, joyful and an integrated part of the self, predicts a high amount of exercise. Future research could examine other factors beyond SDT and TPB that can explain the difference in the amount of exercise people perform.

Using a theory of planned behavior approach to assess principals' Professional intentions to promote diversity awareness beyond the level recommended by their districtLandeck, Edith Suzanne 15 May 2009 (has links)
The increasing population diversity in the United States and in public schools
signifies a need for principals to promote diversity awareness as mandated by principal
standards. A means to quantify and measure the principals’ diversity intentions
empirically is required. This study researched the possibility that the Theory of Planned
Behavior (TPB) (Ajzen, 1991) could provide a theoretical basis for an operation
measurement model. The instrument for the study was an electronic survey administered
via e-mail to a random sample of 151 principals. This instrument incorporated the
Professional Beliefs About Diversity Scale (Pohan & Aguilar, 2001) with the
operationalized General Principal’s Diversity Model and the Professional Diversity
Intentions sub-models. Three research questions guided the study: 1) Can a theory of
planned behavior approach be used to assess school principals’ professional intentions to
promote diversity awareness? 2) What are the intentions of Texas principals to promote
diversity awareness in general and among the five diversity dimensions of disabilities, gender, language, racial/ethnic, and social class in their campus community? and 3) Do
these intentions differ among five demographic characteristics of race/ethnicity, gender,
age, degree, and campus type?
Findings of the study were:
1. The results of this study provided the scientific validation that the TPB
approach can be used to assess public school principals’ professional
intentions to promote diversity awareness.
2. At present, Texas principals’ intentions are only slightly more positive than
the neutral midpoint, a 3.38 average score out of a possible 5.00 regarding
intention to promote diversity awareness. Frequency analysis of the submodels
indicated positive intentions for Gender (58 cases or 38.41
percent); Race/Ethnicity (78 cases or 51.66 percent); Social Class (79 cases
or 52.32 percent); and Disabilities and Language each had 89 cases (58.95
percent).
3. Principals’ intent to implement diversity decreases with age and higher
academic degree held.
4. Hispanic principals are more likely than African American or White
principals to promote diversity awareness.
This study concluded that a Theory of Planned Behavior approach as
operationalized in this study may be used to assess school principals’ professional
intentions to promote diversity beyond the level recommended by their district.

The Recycling Intentions of Sport Spectators: A Theory of Planned Behavior ApproachMcCullough, Brian Patrick 2011 May 1900 (has links)
Sport organizations have a negative impact on the environment but these
organizations have begun environmental initiatives to decrease their impact. Introducing
recycling programs not only offers visible environmental effort to decrease the
organization’s impact but such programs can provide financial savings for the
organization. Thus, my dissertation’s purpose is to understand the recycling intentions
of sport spectators by the means of three studies theoretically framed using the theory of
planned behavior.
Study 1 examined the recycling intentions of individuals after consuming plastic
water bottles within a campus environment. Participants were undergraduate students (N
= 144) enrolled in physical activity classes at a southwestern university in the United
States (males n=83, 57.6 percent, females n=60, 41.7 percent; mostly White n=96, 66.7 percent; age
M=19.6, SD=1.33). The results indicate that subjective norms (β = .29, p < .001) and
attitudes (β = .14, p < .05) towards recycling significantly predicted intentions to recycle
plastic bottles after consumption. Study 2 analyzed the recycling intentions within a sport context. Participants
(N=129) were adult spectators attending a weekend long youth baseball tournament in
the Southwest United States (women n=85, 65.9 percent, men n=40, 31.0 percent; predominately
White n=97, 75.2 percent; age M=44.47 years, SD=10.20). Similar to Study 1, subjective
norms (β = .27, p < .01) significantly predicted intentions to recycle. However, unlike
Study 1, perceived behavioral controls (β = .21, p < .05) were significant in predicting
intentions to recycle.
Lastly, Study 3 augmented my investigation to understand the unique context of
recycling intentions among sport spectators. I used qualitative research methods to
understand recycling intentions of spectators during a large scale-sporting event.
Participants (N=16) were adults that regularly attend college football games at a large
southwestern university (men n=10, women n=6; age M=37.44). The results indicate
that recycling within a sport context is unique considering the game day atmosphere.
Collectively, the findings from the three studies are discussed as to influence
decision-making policies within sport organizations to improve recycling programs and
to decrease the organization’s negative environmental impact. Finally, recommendations
are made for future research to understand recycling behaviors of sport spectators.

Factors comprising adolescents’ readiness for sexual behaviors : a latent profile analysisOrozco-Lapray, Diana Lucellan 03 February 2015 (has links)
The current study used multi-wave data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to examine the existence of typologies of readiness for sexual intercourse and contraception among a nationally representative sample of adolescents aged 15-18. Grounded in the theory of planned behavior, the current study used latent profile analyses to establish five profiles of sexual readiness based on adolescents' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control for sexual intercourse and contraception. Analyses were conducted cross-sectionally and longitudinally, and five classes were confirmed at each of two waves. The current study established and characterized four profiles of readiness for sexual behavior at both waves: “impulsive adolescents,” “precarious adolescents,” “well-controlled adolescents,” and “conservatively-reared adolescents.” Two separate fifth profiles also emerged: “hasty adolescents” at wave 1, and “unrestrained adolescents” at wave 2. Logistic regression of longitudinal data indicated that compared to “impulsive adolescents” at wave 1, “precarious” and “conservatively-reared” adolescents were significantly less likely to engage in sexual intercourse at wave 2, and “well-controlled” adolescents were significantly less likely to engage in casual sex. Wave 1 cross-sectional data indicated that “precarious” adolescents were less likely to have used contraception either at their first time or most recent time of sex, and all other profiles were more likely to have employed contraception than “impulsive” adolescents. Wave 2 cross-sectional analyses indicated that two profiles (“precarious” and “conservatively-reared”) were less likely to engage in sexual intercourse, and two profiles (“well-controlled” and “unrestrained”) were more likely to engage in sexual intercourse than “impulsive” adolescents. / text

Applying Focal Concerns and the Theory of Planned Behavior to the Decision-Making Process in PolicingIshoy, Glen 17 December 2015 (has links)
This research used qualitative methods to investigate the police officer decision-making processes within the theoretical context of the focal concerns framework and the theory of planned behavior. This research had two primary goals. The first goal was to determine what similarities and differences exist in how ideas from the focal concerns framework manifest themselves in a policing context as compared to how they operate for judges when sentencing convicted offenders. The second goal of this research was to use ideas from the theory of planned behavior to elaborate the focal concerns framework into a functional theoretical model of police officer decision-making. While intuitively sound, the focal concerns perspective is in need of conceptual enhancements to operationalize the mechanisms through which the focal concerns identified are transformed into action. Interviews with police officers were conducted to elicit the considerations that police officers see as important to their decision-making process in order to develop a theory of police decision-making which incorporates concepts from the focal concerns framework and the theory of planned behavior. The results of this study indicate that although police officers share the same broad focal concerns as judges, the way these concerns manifest themselves in the execution of their duties is different for police officers. The results also indicate that the construct of intent from the theory of planned behavior may be a viable cognitive mechanism to connect ideas from the focal concerns framework with criminal justice outcomes, although other constructs from the theory were only found to be partially applicable. Theoretical implications of the findings and directions for future research are also discussed.
