This study aims to examine the effect of perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), trust (TR), subjective norm (SN), and attitude (AT) on customer's Intention to Adopt Internet Banking (IAIB) at Islamic banks and conventional banks before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The research model is based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study involves 213 respondents for Islamic banks and 410 respondents for conventional banks from 25 provinces in Indonesia. Data was analyzed using partial least square (PLS) regression with the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method. The result of data analysis confirms several hypotheses taken from the literature. The results before the Covid-19 pandemic showed that AT and SN influence IAIB in Islamic banks. Whereas in conventional banks, AT, PU, SN, and TR influence IAIB. While during the Covid-19 pandemic, it shows that the AT, PU, IB, SN, and customer TR influence IAIB in Islamic banks and conventional banks. From the analysis, it was found that the PEU variable did not have a significant effect on the intention of customers of Islamic banks and conventional banks to use Internet banking.

The present study examines the factors affecting customer intention to use auto financing (ijarah) in Pakistan. The research framework is constructed based on the theory of reasoned action, which explains behavioural intention and its determinants. The study incorporates the participation of 350 potential customers of auto ijarah in Pakistan. Data analysis was conducted with structural equation modelling (SEM), assessing the measurement, and structural model. The outcome indicates that attitude, perceived cost benefits, Sharia compliance, religious orientation, and subjective norm are the significant predictors of customer intentions. We also found a statistically insignificant association between awareness and customer intentions. The results hold significance for the Islamic banking and financial service providers. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to the adoption of auto ijarah among potential Islamic bank customers.

The purpose of this paper is to study the relationships between brand community engagement of customers on social media networks and customer behavioral intentions with regard to visiting restaurants where the theory of planned behavior was applied. A conclusive-descriptive, cross-sectional research design was selected in order to determine the degree to which Brand Community Engagement, Attitude (ATT), Subjective Norms (SN), Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), Restaurant’s Visit Intentions (INT) and Visit Behavior (B) are interrelated and associated. The results indicated that BCE does affect customers attitude towards dining out and visiting restaurants and that SN can’t moderate the strong relationship between ATT and intention. In addition, customer intention can weakly predict their behavior of visiting restaurants. The results of this study suggest that management of restaurants should pay attention to their marketing communication strategies through social media restaurant’s communities and should focus on how to increase the engagement levels of customers beside understanding and may be changing their attitudes towards experiences in restaurants. This study examined the relationship between Restaurants Brand Community Engagement on social media and customer intentions to dine out and visit restaurants.

Mobile banking is now an important and evolving medium for executing banking transactions. It has a huge potential in a developing country such as India. Our study explores the important antecedents of the mobile banking adoption intention of Indian customers and proposes a comprehensive framework by extending the traditional technology acceptance model (TAM). Along with the two constructs provided by TAM, four customer-oriented constructs have also been measured for this purpose. The conceptual model has been verified empirically, with the data mobilized with the help of a survey from 203 future mobile banking service users. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique has been undertaken to establish the effect of the antecedents on mobile banking adoption intention. The results demonstrate that, together with the constructs of TAM, viz. perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, as well as all other relevant behavioral factors, namely subjective norms, personal innovativeness, trust, and self-efficacy have exerted a statistically significant positive effect on the mobile banking adoption intention of customers. The study provides an empirical foundation, which can be useful to banking and mobile services by helping companies to formulate their marketing strategies.

Environmental degradation is a global concern for businesses, requiring consistent effort to maintain sustainable environmental practices. Environmental sustainability is a crucial issue of concern to everyone, an increasing proportion of people are paying attention to various environmental issues in all parts of their lives, including in the context of Islamic banking. This research aims to develop and test a contextual framework for studying customer intentions in adopting sustainability Islamic banking activities and services. The study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model, adding new constructs to the main variables, such as trust, environmental consciousness, and perceived environmental outcomes. The survey collected data from 198 customers of Islamic banks in Indonesia, with the PLS-SEM modeling technique used to test the research model. The results show that perceived behavioral control is a significant influence on behavioral intentions, while attitude and subjective norms have no significant effect on behavioural intentions. Environmental consciousness significantly affects perceived environmental outcomes, which, in turn, significantly affect trust as well as behavioural intentions. Other statistical results find that environmental consciousness can affect behavioral intentions when mediated by perceived environmental outcomes. Overall, this study has theoretical and managerial implications and offers directions for future research on environmentally sustainable Islamic banking.

Augmented reality (AR) technology is expanding into the restaurant industry, yet the use of AR menus has not been investigated yet. The purpose of this research is to study consumers’ perceptions of the use of AR menus in restaurants. A research model grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used for the study. After 368 responses were collected through an online self-administered survey, multiple regression analyses were performed to explore the impact of factors on customer intention. The results of the study indicated that perceived usefulness, perceived innovativeness, subjective norm, perceived enjoyment, and perceived benefit influenced customer intention. In addition, it was found that there are gender differences in consumer intention. Managerial and theoretical implications are discussed; limitations and recommendations for future study are also provided.

This study aims to examine the effect of saving interest of Islamic Economics students of Universitas Brawijaya on Sharia Banks. This study uses Attitude variables, Subjective Norms, and Behavioral Control as factors that influence interest in saving at Islamic banks. The sampling method uses probability sampling with the Proportional Random Sampling metahod. The research sample consisted of 100 students of Islamic Economics class of 2017-2019 who were randomly selected. The results showed that attitudes had a significant positive influence on students' interest in saving at Islamic banks, subjective norms also had a significant effect on students' interest in saving at Islamic banks, but behavioral control did not have a significant influence on students' interest in saving at Islamic banks. So the conclusion can be drawn is that subjective attitudes and norms are important factors in influencing the interest of Islamic Economics students to save at Islamic banks. However, behavioral control did not make a significant contribution to this.

This thesis reports on the development and application of research tools to understand and predict caterers' implementation of specific food safety practices. Food handlers' salient beliefs (n=137) identified three specific food safety actions for further investigation: hand hygiene actions, cleaning actions and the appropriate use of utensils when preparing raw and ready to eat foods. A notational analysis coding system was designed and developed. This tool was successful in recording a greater number of cross-contamination events than would have been highlighted using traditional approaches. One hundred and fifteen food handlers from 29 catering businesses were observed carrying out 31,050 food preparation actions in their workplace. Caterers subsequently completed a knowledge questionnaire and the Food Safety Instrument. The Food Safety Instrument was constructed using constructs from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Health Belief Model. Despite a high level of knowledge and positive attitudes towards food safety, food safety malpractices were common. Implementation of hand hygiene and cleaning practices were particularly poor and only two percent of caterers carried out adequate food safety actions at all times. The TPB provided a useful framework for understanding the factors influencing caterers' implementation of specific food safety practices. Five constructs were identified as predictors of food safety malpractices: attitudes, subjective norms, descriptive norms, perceived behavioural control and intentions. Thus, suggesting that food safety behaviour cannot be improved merely through the provision of information. Food safety initiatives need to encompass a wide variety of factors including the attitudes of caterers, provision of resources and organisational culture. This thesis is important in furthering our knowledge of the factors that determine specific food safety practices and has practical value, providing a framework for both theoretical developments and practical interventions.

Introduction Breast milk contains essential nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Breastfeeding benefits both mothers and infants by enhancing the immune system and reducing respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. However, the breastfeeding rates among adolescent mothers worldwide and in Thailand remain low. As adolescents transition to adulthood, it is crucial to promote breastfeeding intention before pregnancy, particularly among late school-aged students in vocational education. Previous studies have shown that breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes toward breastfeeding, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are associated with breastfeeding intention. However. studies are limited in late adolescent female students in vocational education. Objective This research aimed to 1) study the intention to breastfeed and 2) investigate factors associated with breastfeeding intention, including breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes toward breastfeeding, subjective norms about breastfeeding, and perceived breastfeeding behavioral control among late adolescent female students in vocational education. Design A descriptive correlational design. This study utilized the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by Ajzen, which explains that a person’s intention is related to their attitudes toward breastfeeding behavior, subjective norms about breastfeeding behavior, perceived behavioral control over breastfeeding, and breastfeeding knowledge, which is a background factor associated with breastfeeding intention. Methodology The participants included late adolescent students aged 17-19 years who were studying in the third year of vocational program and the first and second year of higher vocational program under the Vocational Education Commission in Bangkok from May to June 2024. The sample size was calculated using the G*Power program. The effect size was set at 0.184, the power of the test was .95 and the level of significance was .05, obtaining 311 participants. The researchers added 10% to account for data incompletion, resulting in a total of 342 participants. The research instruments consisted of 6 parts, including 1) a personnel information questionnaire, 2) breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, 3) attitudes toward breastfeeding questionnaire, 4) subjective norm about breastfeeding questionnaire, 5) perceived behavioral control questionnaire, and 6) breastfeeding intention questionnaire. In this study, the content validity indices of the breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, attitudes toward breastfeeding questionnaire, subjective norms about breastfeeding questionnaire, perceived breastfeeding behavioral control questionnaire, and breastfeeding intention questionnaire were .96, 1, .80, .96, and 1 respectively. The reliability, Kuder-Richardson 20 for the breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire was .72. The attitudes toward breastfeeding questionnaire, subjective norms about breastfeeding questionnaire, and perceived breastfeeding behavioral control questionnaire had Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .74, .86, and .93, respectively. Data were collected using self administration, from May to June 2024. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient. Results Among 342, 332 participants met the criteria in this study. The average age of the participants was 18.27 years old (SD = 0.69). Most of them lived with their parents (78.31%). The family income of 10,001-20,000 baht/month was the highest frequency (34.6%). The results showed that breastfeeding intention was high. It was significantly associated with breastfeeding knowledge (r = .172, p = .002), attitudes toward breastfeeding (r = .190, p < .001), subjective norm about breastfeeding (r = .389, p < .001), and perceived breastfeeding behavioral control (r = .429, p < .001). Recommendation This study provides preliminary data for nurses to plan the promotion of breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes toward breastfeeding, subjective norms about breastfeeding, and perceived breastfeeding behavioral control. These efforts will contribute to increasing breastfeeding rates in the future.
