“…Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test whether the construct validity of each factor variable in the model was real according to the empirical evidence of theories and concepts. Statistical consistency was determined with x 2 , relative x 2 (x 2 /df) , goodness of fit index (GFI), adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI), comparative fit index (CFI), standard root mean square residual (SRMR) and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) (Byrne, 2016a, Na-Nan andSanamthong, 2019;Thanvisitthpon et al, 2020). Table 1 presents construct validity values by showing standardised factor loading in each item or observable variable with large factor loading (> 0.50) and significance value at p < 0.01 (all t-values were more than 3).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the influences of work engagement and knowledge sharing as mediators of empowering leadership and innovative work behaviour. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional design study was used, and questionnaires were submitted to 385 engineers to test the proposed relationships. AMOS 21 and PROCESS macro 3.1 were used for statistical analysis. Findings The results revealed that work engagement and knowledge sharing were partially mediated by empowering leadership and innovative work behaviour. Practical implications The results of the study can be used by leaders for promoting and supporting innovative work behaviour in the organisation. Moreover, employees should be supported and enhanced to learn continuously under the consultation of the leaders. Originality/value The findings contribute to the literature on empowering leadership and innovative work behaviour by highlighting that work engagement and knowledge sharing act as mediators to empower leadership and enhance innovative work behaviour.

“…In data collection, respondents were asked by homestay operators for their views on the importance of different updated indicators for the success of homestays, based on a 5-point Likert scale where 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, denote unimportant, of little importance, moderately important, important, and very important. According to Bayraktar, Tatoglu [24]; Na-nan, Chaiprasit [25]; Ismail Salaheldin [26]; Thanvisitthpon, Shrestha [27], a measure scale could be used with self-assessment questions.…”

This research proposes an updated version of homestay indicators for 10 existing component-level homestay requirements. The updated indicators were aimed to replace the decade-old original indicators for Thai homestay businesses. Besides, the 31 original homestay indictors were not statistically validated. In this study, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to determine the statistical relevancy between the updated homestay indicators and the components. The SEM analysis involved two steps: exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The EFA statistically regrouped the 31 updated indictors by six new homestay components. The six components and 31 updated indicators were further validated by CFA to determine the factor loadings and statistical reliability of the components and indicators. The factor loadings indicate the levels of importance that homestay guests attach to different homestay components and indicators. Therefore, Thai homestay operators should give priority to the components and indicators with high factor loadings.

“…Understanding the fundamental causes or drivers of vulnerability, as well as people's capacity to cope with and recover from disasters, are all part of assessing the built environment's susceptibility to flood risks. Vulnerability is usually limited to the susceptibility of structures and infrastructure being damaged (i.e., physical vulnerability) (Thanvisitthpon et al, 2020). In the present context of physical vulnerability in the study area, the building height is one prime consideration due to flood inundation level and damage to the properties and assets.…”

“…Physical or structural vulnerability is a function of the relative location of the population, location of the built environment with respect to the hazard (in this case, flood). Vulnerability is typically confined to the likelihood of structures and infrastructure being damaged (i.e., physical vulnerability) (Thanvisitthpon et al, 2020). Indicators that can be typically considered in the context of physical vulnerability are found to be associated with the type of roof, structural design, type of structure, built-up density, height of building, building materials and type of construction, age of building, rate of urbanization, etc.…”

The utilization of remote sensing and GIS is increasing in importance across the world for disaster preparedness, assessments, mitigation, and governance. A major focus is on extracting and disseminating useful information from satellite and airborne data sources for effective planning and decision making during and after disasters. This study presents a case study from Ko-Rian, a sub-district in Ayutthaya, Thailand which is frequently hit by monsoon flooding. First, an approach is demonstrated to extract buildings and roads from very-high-resolution satellite images. The results showed that use of selected multiple indices with object-based image analysis produced excellent results in mixed urban environment. Secondly, a procedure and framework are proposed for geodatabase modeling of urban flood vulnerability and disseminating information to a wider community through ESRI story maps. The proposed approach using virtual reality technologies such as Google Street View for assessing physical vulnerability and ESRI story maps to share the information can significantly reduce the time and costs of the traditional survey. The techniques and approach presented in this study can be useful to develop detailed vulnerability profile for effective decision making and dynamic planning for a flood resilient city.
