“…This result supports the role of other people as a predicting factor in students' intention to choose the educational administration major. The result agrees prior findings where BI was related to the SN [20], [37], [38]. As an influence on selecting a major, SN might emerge prior to the attendance date of college meetings [37].…”

“…Regarding H2, the relationship between PBC and BI was also significant. The finding confirms past studies where PBC is reported to be an immediate predecessor to BI [20], [42], [43]. Informed the nonsignificance of the AT to BI, PBC seems to fill the gap as a substantial predictor.…”

“…In their study, the SN was reported to have a significant relationship with BI in choosing a major [19]. TPB use in choosing a business administration major was also reported [20]. SN and PBC path coefficients were significant in predicting BI, supporting two hypotheses of the study.…”

<p>The study examined factors affecting Behavioral Intention (BI) regarding students’ choice of educational administration as their major. Samples were taken from Indonesian students. The process was begun with the adaptation of survey instruments from previous studies validated through content validity. In testing the normality, Skewness and Kurtosis values were computed. Reliability assessment was applied through Cronbach’s alpha. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were both conducted for the constructs. In examining the relationship, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis using AMOS 23.0 was applied to 257 responses. The findings informed that two relationships were significant while the other two are insignificant. Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) and Attitude (AT) significantly predicted BI, while Subjective Norm (SN) and Facilitating Condition (FC) did not significantly predict BI. The current study can expand an in-depth contribution and reference for further researchers as a basis of the empirical evidence in relation to the validated survey questionnaire. Access to the questionnaire may contribute to educational stakeholders establishing policies to improve students’ interests in studying in an educational administration study program.</p>

En los últimos 10 años, Colombia ha realizado múltiples reformas tributarias con el fin de dinamizar su economía, todas ellas, han sido influenciadas por momentos en los cuales la economía del país se encontraba atravesando momentos de déficit, y por lo tanto, era necesario implementar estrategias por medio de la creación de reformas tributarias, que permitieran una mayor recopilación de tributos para subsanar las carencias monetarias del momento y también, para la consecución de mayores recursos para el desarrollo de diversos proyectos gubernamentales. En este sentido, es válido destacar que algunas de las mismas han sido efectivas en cuanto a la obtención de mayores ingresos, pero con otras reformas la renta fija de los colombianos se ha visto perjudicada debido a que en muchos casos se presentan inequidades en el pago de los impuestos.Por lo tanto, los resultados para los diferentes sectores no siempre han sido positivos, en algunos gobiernos, se aumentaban los tributos de las empresas y estas, se veían en la necesidad de reducir sus gastos para solventar los impuestos generados, dicha acción, se veía reflejada en algunas ocasiones con recortes de personal, otras, por el contrario, buscaban aumentar los rubros de inversión extranjera por medio de la reducción de las tasas impositivas, lo que es un panorama más alentador para los colombianos en general, por el aumento principalmente en empleos tras la implantación de nuevas unidades de negocio en el país.
