Witnessing At Work When It's Taboo To Talk About Religion, Michael E. Cafferky

Faculty Works

This article explores an alternative to traditional approaches to evangelism in the workplace. it presents an approach based on using the language of business alone in conversations with coworkers, suppliers and customers. While it is often taboo to talk about religion in secular organizations, opportunities exist for believers to be not just silent witnesses but rather explicit verbal witnesses to Jesus Christ. Business conversations naturally present opportunities to champion the theological identity and character traits of Jesus Christ without mentioning his name.

#Fomo: How The Fear Of Missing Out Drives Consumer Purchase Decisions, Michelle Van Solt

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research focuses on consumers’ experiential purchase decisions motivated by the fear of missing out (FOMO). I propose that consumers are more likely to attend an event when individuals with whom they have strong (weak) interpersonal ties will be present, because consumers will experience higher (lower) levels of FOMO. The results of one qualitative and four quantitative studies, including a behavioral study, demonstrate that purchase intent is higher when participants imagine that their close friends (i.e., strong ties) will attend, an effect mediated by FOMO and anticipated regret. Furthermore, the type of experience (i.e., ordinary, extraordinary) moderates the relationship of …

A Critique Of Advertisements For Female Hygiene Products: A Silent Crisis In America, Laura Schulte

Further, understanding the target audience’s desires and needs is crucial.

Adding an emotive appeal or a creative method to the advertisement is not wrong. This thesis does not suggest for a dull advertisement; however, there is a balance—a campaign designed to care for and inform women while meeting …

Honors Theses

As an older generation of University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduates phases out, capturing the attention of millennials becomes more and more important. Unfortunately for the Nebraska Alumni Association (NAA), many soon to be and recent UNL graduates do not see the value in spending hundreds of dollars to become a lifetime member. Although some people we interviewed saw an NAA membership as just a donation and are not expecting much in return.

We believe that the Nebraska Alumni Association can take advantage of its connections with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to offer experiences through subscription boxes that will engage millennials and …

Did You See That? : An Exploration Of Product Placement In Theatre, Emily Seratch

Business: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

Previous research on product placement demonstrates a connection between the placement and brand recall, brand attitude, and intent to purchase.

Results demonstrate significance in the relationship between brand recall and product congruency, recall and the interaction effect, and recall and perception of character. Future research should seek to expand this line of inquiry by exploring the connection between product placement perception and …

Higher Education, Robert Ping

Marketing Faculty Publications

Research on Higher Education, including promotion and tenure, and the possibility of reusing one's data for a second paper to help reduce the "time between papers." (Perhaps surprisingly, some editors do not object to reusing data, as long as new theory is being tested.) This Higher Education web page has been substantially revised and updated in its "The Jr. Faculty Corner" section. For example, the suggestions there for Revising and Resubmitting a paper and sample "Responses to the Reviewers" have been heavily edited for clarity and, utility.

Theoretical Model Testing With Latent Variables, Robert Ping

Latent Variable Interactions And Quadratics, Robert Ping

Marketing Faculty Publications

Research on interactions (XZ) and quadratics (XX) in theoretical model (hypothesis) tests using structural equation analysis (LISREL, EQS, AMOS, SIMPLIS, etc.) and real-world data. Topics include XZ and XX reliability and validity. In theory tests these are important because low reliability/validity in XZ or XX may mean that a significant interaction or quadratic will be NS or of opposite sign in its next model test. Other topics include estimating categorical (nominal) variables, and improving measures that are in serious trouble--ones with low Average Variance Extracted (AVE), or unacceptable model-to-data fit (i.e., only a 3-indicator specification fits the data, etc.)
