“…The fit indexes results, reported in this SEM analysis, are χ 2 statistics (CMIN) (Bt Wan Mohamed Radzi et al , 2017) and its ratio to the model degree of freedom (CMIN/df), the goodness-of-fit index (GFI), the adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI) (Ren et al , 2018), parsimony-adjusted normed fit index (PNFI), parsimony-adjusted Comparative fit index (PCFI) (Schreiber et al , 2006) and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) (Zhang et al , 2016), as shown in Table VII. The generated result of SEM yielded the CMIN=102.15, df= 42, CMIN/df= 2.431 and RMSEA= 0.056.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose the sustainable housing (SH) model for the housing of Region-one of Mashhad city in Iran. Design/methodology/approach Building the SH particularly increases mitigation measures as well as creates healthier environments for inhabitants by decreasing harmful environmental and physical effects. This research in terms of the target is applied research that has been done with the descriptive-analytical method. The research population is residents who live in the Region-one of Mashhad, with a statistical sample of 384 people. The responses were collected from the questionnaire, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to illustrate the research SH model in AMOS software. Findings The findings indicate that the suitability of the housing model with meeting needs together with the quality of the health situation in housing has the most influences, and in contrast, the number of residential units with building permits besides the amount of home green space has the least influences on the sustainability of housing in the region. Research limitations/implications The results can offer valuable insights for helping the sustainability of housing in the studied area and similar cases, which may vary in a different context. Originality/value The new aspect of the study is to provide the SH model by SEM, which has not been investigated in almost all previous research. This paper makes a contribution to the understanding of the physical and environmental components that affect the sustainability of housing in Region-one of Mashhad city in Iran according to respond to the needs of both lifestyles: pilgrims-tourists and residents. The results can also contribute to housing stabilizing in other developing countries, especially the pilgrimage and tourism countries.

“…Unexpectedly, it has not been confirmed that there are moderating effects of party affiliation on the internal locus of control dimension—CWBs and hard work dimension—CWBs were not confirmed. One explanation for this unexpected finding may be that party membership has been considered as a form of human capital or a credential like educational qualifications (Ren, Yuan, & Hu, 2019), which might improve their expectancy in their ability to put negative events under control. Therefore, the CCP members have an internal locus of control and are likely to violate work rules and involve in CWBs to change their situations.…”

This study examined the relationships between the four dimensions of the protestant work ethic (internal locus of control, asceticism, hard work, anti‐leisure) and organizational counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs). Based on a sample of Chinese employees, the results from two‐wave lagged data (N = 691) indicated that the asceticism dimension and the anti‐leisure dimension were negatively associated with CWBs. These associations were moderated by party affiliation, indicating that party members had a stronger negative relationship between these constructs than non‐party members did.

“…As the elderly are confronted with the gradual decline in their physical functions and certain social changes, they need flexible strategies and a constantly changing and evolving environment to adequately cope with issues related to aging. Related research has mainly concentrated on the impact of the housing environment on the health and QOL of the elderly and considers it a crucial factor in healthy aging (Feng et al, 2018;Garre-Olmo et al, 2012;Lai et al, 2021;Ren et al, 2019). Functional differences exist between housing for the elderly and normal residential buildings, such as group activities to encourage interaction among the elderly, strict security measures, access to different types of care, and more control over the IEQ related to light, noise and temperature.…”

The housing environment is of utmost importance as people spend most of their time indoors; it is closely related to the occupant's quality of life (QOL) and health, especially among the elderly. This study evaluated the relationships among the architectural composition (AC), indoor environmental quality (IEQ), residential satisfaction (RS), and the QOL of those residing in housing for the elderly in Northeast China based on the results of a large-scale questionnaire and structural equation. The questionnaire was designed based on previous literature and included questions on the demographics, 11 items related to the AC, actual records, 19 measurable RS items, 6 measurable IEQ items, and 14 measurable aspects of QOL. The survey was conducted via face-to-face interviews, at 34 randomly selected homes for the elderly. In total, 1457 valid questionnaire responses were collected and checked using the reliability and validation tests. The results of the structural equation model indicated that the IEQ and RS have the greatest impact on the QOL, and act as intermediary variables, which indirectly affect the influence of the AC on the QOL. Therefore, the QOL of the elderly can be improved by enhancing the IEQ and RS. Overall, the results herein demonstrate that the structure equation model is valid, and the difference analysis indicates the differences in the evaluation results for buildings of different scales and structural characteristics. These results can make important contributions to the innovation of future housing for the elderly that can meet their needs and improve their QOL.
