Predictors of intention for continuing volunteer tourism activities among young tourists

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors inserted three critical constructs (i.e., quality of a volunteer tourism program, trust in a VT program organization, and quality of the program itself) for young tourists.
Abstract: Volunteer tourism (VT) is an emerging tourism paradigm especially for young tourists. This study inserted three critical constructs (i.e. quality of a VT program, trust in a VT program organization...

TL;DR: Despite the importance of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and norm activation model (NAM) in explicating revisit intention, predictions based on the merging of these theories remain sparse in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors looked into the travelers' re-participation intention within a pro-social context and found that the intention of reparticipation was related to the travel experience itself.

TL;DR: In this paper, value perception of young tourists about a nature-based tourism experience and its influence on travel outcomes, such as overall satisfaction, word-of-mouth (WOM) and revisit intentions, are examined by a case study performed in Olympos, Antalya-Turkey.
Abstract: Understanding the tourism-related behaviours and attitudes of the next generations is worth to investigate by researchers, since their demand structure will shape the future of tourism sector. Therefore, this research particularly focuses on young travellers. In the study, value perception of young tourists about a nature-based tourism experience and its influence on travel outcomes, such as overall satisfaction, word-of-mouth (WOM) and revisit intentions, are examined by a case study performed in Olympos, Antalya-Turkey. Value construct is shown to have three components: functional, social and epistemic values. Perceived social value is identified as the least satisfying dimension of the value. Structural equation modelling results show that value perception positively and statistically impacts overall satisfaction, WOM, and revisit intentions, while overall satisfaction has a positive effect on WOM and revisit intentions. The study findings both extend the literature on young traveller behaviours and suggest useful managerial implications for the nature-based destination authorities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the strength of perceived behavioral control with self-efficacy to predict volunteer tourists' intentions within the theory of planned behavior, and found that selfefficacy is a stronger predictor than perceived behavioural control in predicting tourist tourists' future behavioral intentions.
Abstract: Volunteer tourism, as an alternative to mass tourism, has grown significantly since the 1970s, sparking a growing research interest in the subject. However, little research has been conducted about Asian volunteer tourists. The purpose of this study is to compare the strength of perceived behavioral control with self-efficacy to predict volunteer tourists' intentions within the theory of planned behavior. Meta-analysis is also used to examine the effect size of the independent variables derived from the theory of planned behavior. Study results indicate that self-efficacy is a stronger predictor than perceived behavioral control in predicting volunteer tourists' future behavioral intentions.

TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, a six-step framework for organizing and discussing multivariate data analysis techniques with flowcharts for each is presented, focusing on the use of each technique, rather than its mathematical derivation.
Abstract: Offers an applications-oriented approach to multivariate data analysis, focusing on the use of each technique, rather than its mathematical derivation. The text introduces a six-step framework for organizing and discussing techniques with flowcharts for each. Well-suited for the non-statistician, this applications-oriented introduction to multivariate analysis focuses on the fundamental concepts that affect the use of specific techniques rather than the mathematical derivation of the technique. Provides an overview of several techniques and approaches that are available to analysts today - e.g., data warehousing and data mining, neural networks and resampling/bootstrapping. Chapters are organized to provide a practical, logical progression of the phases of analysis and to group similar types of techniques applicable to most situations. Table of Contents 1. Introduction. I. PREPARING FOR A MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS. 2. Examining Your Data. 3. Factor Analysis. II. DEPENDENCE TECHNIQUES. 4. Multiple Regression. 5. Multiple Discriminant Analysis and Logistic Regression. 6. Multivariate Analysis of Variance. 7. Conjoint Analysis. 8. Canonical Correlation Analysis. III. INTERDEPENDENCE TECHNIQUES. 9. Cluster Analysis. 10. Multidimensional Scaling. IV.
