Abstract Objectives: For the younger generation (i.e., Millennials and Generation Z), running is not only about physical health, but also about building psychological resources and multidimensional well-being, reflecting their unique culture and lifestyle. This study aims to investigate the structural relationships among exercise commitment, psychological capital (PsyCap), and flourishing in younger adults in South Korea by integrating Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and Broaden-and-Build Theory (BBT) using a second-order partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Methods: A total of 166 participants were recruited through convenience sampling via online survey. They were young South Korean adults (born… More >

Abstract The main objective of this study is to comprehensively investigate individuals’ vaccination intention against COVID-19 during the second wave of COVID-19 spread in Vietnam using a novel hybrid approach. First, the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory based on Grey Theory (DEMATEL-G) was employed to explore the critical factors of vaccination intention among individuals. Second, Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to test the hypotheses of individual behavioral intention to get the vaccine to prevent the outbreak of COVID-19. A panel of 661 valid respondents was collected from June 2021 to July 2021, and… More >

Abstract Vietnam is paying great to the seafood exporting sector, offering various significant production advantages, concluding that it is critical to understand the competitiveness of the target market and implement effective strategies. However, due to COVID 19, the value of Vietnamese pangasius exports resulted in low and unpredictable profits for pangasius farmers. It is obvious to recognize competitiveness as Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem in the uncertain business environment. Therefore, this study is the first to propose a two-staged Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) analysis to identify potential criteria… More >
