This study links up the theories of social psychology, economics and sport management to assess the impact of sport participation on subjective well-being (SWB) and use a simple statistic method to estimate the relative monetary value that sport participation derives SWB for Taiwan’s college students. By constructing proper measurements on sport participation and SWB respectively, a structural ...

Structural equation modeling (SEM) provides a dependable framework for testing differences among groups on latent variables (constructs, factors). The purpose of this article is to illustrate SEM-based testing for group mean differences on latent variables. Related procedures of confirmatory factor analysis and testing for measurement invariance across compared groups are also presented in the ...

this study designed a structural model taking into account the views of staff on human resource management systems, human resources, job satisfaction and organizational loyalty pays yeast industry in iran. this study used structural equation modeling (sem). by using cluster sampling and cochran's formula, 288 patients were selected. the structural equation analysis and factor analysis were...

the present study was conducted to investigate and formulate the effects of social capital dimensions on entrepreneurial intentions. the population of this study consisted of all fourth year agricultural students of yasouj university (n=196), that by using patten (2002) sampling table, 130 student were selected as the sample using the random simple sampling method. the main instrument of study ...

Since Newton (1642-1727) continuous time modeling by means of differential equations is the standard approach of dynamic phenomena in natural science. It is argued that most processes in behavioral science also unfold in continuous time and should be analyzed accordingly. After dealing with the essentials of stochastic differential equation modeling of panel data by means of structural equation...

As a service organization, for an academic institution, knowledge sharing is a critical process that needed to be done and developed always in order to achieve sustainable advantage, emphasizing its role as center of excellence. The research objection was to explore the relationship between the three constructs: Knowledge Sharing, Absorptive Capacity and Channel Richness. The conceptual and str...
