An Assessment Of Equivalence Between Internet And Paper-Based Surveys: Evidence From Collectivistic Cultures, Jiaming Fang, Chao Wen, Victor Prybutok
An Assessment Of Equivalence Between Internet And Paper-Based Surveys: Evidence From Collectivistic Cultures, Jiaming Fang, Chao Wen, Victor Prybutok
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Little research exists that addresses the equivalence in collectivistic cultures of paper- versus Internet-based surveys. This study addressed this gap and examined the measurement equivalence of individual innovativeness scales between Internet surveys and paper-based surveys within a collectivistic culture (with China serving as our example). The study analyzed and compared survey data from both paper and web-based surveys using confirmatory factor analysis. The assessment of invariance included the levels of configural, metric, scalar, and covariance invariance. The means and variance of latent variables were also compared. The results show that measurements are invariant at the two levels (configural and metric), …

Leader, Supervisor, Facilitator: Applying Technology Management Techniques To Repository Management, Todd Bruns
Leader, Supervisor, Facilitator: Applying Technology Management Techniques To Repository Management, Todd Bruns
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Managing a repository can mean wearing a number of different management "hats": Leading the vision of the repository, supervising support staff effectively, and facilitating department and faculty content contributions. This presentation focuses on techniques from the field of technology management, including Total Quality Management, the Five Factor Model of Leadership, Facilitation Skills, and Motivational Theories of Supervision. We will introduce these theories and focus our discussions on sharing best practices for managing repository workflows and staffing.

The Impact Of Three Interfaces For 360-Degree Video On Spatial Cognition, Wutthigrai Boonsuk, Stephen Gilbert, Jonathan Kelly
The Impact Of Three Interfaces For 360-Degree Video On Spatial Cognition, Wutthigrai Boonsuk, Stephen Gilbert, Jonathan Kelly
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
In this paper, we describe an experiment designed to evaluate the effectiveness of three interfaces for surveillance or remote control using live 360-degree video feeds from a person or vehicle in the field. Video feeds are simulated using a game engine. While locating targets within a 3D terrain using a 2D 360-degree interface, participants indicated perceived egocentric directions to targets and later placed targets on an overhead view of the terrain. Interfaces were compared based on target finding and map placement performance. Results suggest 1) nonseamless interfaces with visual boundaries facilitate spatial understanding, 2) correct perception of self-to-object relationships is …

The Impact Of Fantasy Football Participation On Ticket Sales, Merchandise Sales And Team Loyalty, Robert H. Smith
The Impact Of Fantasy Football Participation On Ticket Sales, Merchandise Sales And Team Loyalty, Robert H. Smith
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The growth of fantasy football has opened new economic opportunities for a variety of companies (Otto, Mets and Ensmenger 2011) and many have taken advantage of them. The question remains as to the impact of fantasy sports on actual sports leagues that gave rise to the fantasy experience. Drawing on reports from the popular press and academic research on the topic, a series of hypotheses is developed and empirically tested to determine how fantasy sports impacts the ticket and merchandise sales of the sports on which they are based as well as the impact of fantasy sports on the team …
Trading Strategy Of Firms In Financial Distress, Christopher J. Arnholz
Trading Strategy Of Firms In Financial Distress, Christopher J. Arnholz
Undergraduate Honors Theses
This paper tests two hypothesis 1) that firms entering financial distress incur costs that depress the stock price 2) firms entering financial distress are over sold, and the year after they enter financial distress the price bounces back. The paper tests a simple trading strategy of buying the distressed firm and selling the largest firm in the industry. The strategy yields an average return of 10.16%. The returns are enhanced by sorting firms by price to book and selecting firms from the highest quartile, yielding an average return of 34.75%

College Debt: An Exploratory Study Of Risk Factors Among College Freshmen, Linda Simpson, Renee Smith, Lisa Taylor, Julie A. Chadd
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
The goals of this study are to examine the relationships between loan knowledge, money management skills, debt tolerance attitudes, and student income potential to their willingness to incur educational debt at a mid-western university. The current study showed that freshmen students lacked personal and general loan knowledge and had unrealistic expectations of future income at graduation.

The Role Of National Culture On Relationships Between Customers’ Perception Of Quality, Values, Satisfaction, And Behavioral Intentions, Chao Wen, Hong Qin, Victor Prybutok, Charles Blankson
The Role Of National Culture On Relationships Between Customers’ Perception Of Quality, Values, Satisfaction, And Behavioral Intentions, Chao Wen, Hong Qin, Victor Prybutok, Charles Blankson
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of individualistic cultures (such as the American culture) and collectivistic cultures (such as the Chinese culture) on the interrelationship among service quality, food quality, perceived value, customer satisfaction, and behavioral intentions in the fast-food industry. First, the authors provide empirical evidence of the robust relationships among the constructs across diverse cultures. Second, they investigate how moderator variables such as customer age, gender, and national culture affect customer behavioral intentions. Moreover, they examine how national culture, as a moderator, affects the magnitude of the relationships among these constructs. Using survey data …

Predicting Potential Respondents’ Decision To Participate In Web Surveys, Chao Wen, Jiaming Fang
Faculty Research & Creative Activity
Web-based surveys have received increasing attention given the potential benefits of convenience, low cost, and time saving compared with other survey modes. However, the use of the internet to collect data is restrained by the lack of willingness of people to respond. The objective of this research is to expose the determinants of intention to participate in a web survey. Based on the theory of reasoned action, this research proposes a model encompassing attitude toward a web survey, social norm, moral obligation, trust in the sponsor of a survey, topic involvement, topic sensitivity, and reputation of the sponsor to predict …
