“…The initial scale comprised 35 items distributed on 4 dimensions, consistent with the ethical attitude model towards the use of information technology (IT). For the needs factor associated with the cognitive component, in Dimension 1, 17 items were developed, of which items CN1, CN2, CN7 were adapted after Sondhi [77], the item CN5 after Gregory and Noto [78], the CN6 item after Pérez-Rodríguez et al [79], items CN9, CN10, CN11, CN12, CN13, CN14, CN15, CN16, CN17 after Hashim and Hassan [80], and items CN3, CN4, CN8 are original. For the constraints factor associated with the cognitive component, within dimension 2, 6 items were developed, of which all items CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, CC5, and CC6 are original.…”

A self-administered measurement tool was developed and validated to provide data regarding ethical attitude of university teachers for a sustainable education. The research was based on several factors involved in forming attitudes towards the unethical information technology use. The sample: 334 Romanian teachers’ respondents who teach in the higher education system contributed to this research. A successions of factor analyses and structural equation modeling showed that a second-order model is a good fit for experimental data (χ2/df = 1.75, comparative fit index = 0.958, root mean square error of approximation = 0.045), however the partial least square (PLS-SEM) CFA approach revealed higher scores of factor loadings, implying the best fit to the model. This research suggested a structural model of ethical attitude of university teachers, composed by four factors measured by 13 indices. The results demonstrated that PLS-SEM CFA is appropriate for creating a valid structural model to measure university teachers’ ICT ethical attitude. The current research predicted a theoretical contribution to the field of ethical attitude of university teachers within a sustainable education context.

The purpose of study is to examine the factors behind the purchase intention for counterfeit luxury goods in Bangladesh using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This research also sought to measure the effect of product attribute, brand image, level of income, price, and gender regarding the purchase intention for counterfeit luxury goods. Data were gathered from a sample of 242 individual respondents living in different areas of Dhaka city who had experience of purchasing various counterfeit luxury goods. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain survey data through a personal interview. Descriptive statistics, reliability statistics, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis have been used to analyze the collected data. The results show that among five factors, only three of them, such as product attribute, brand images and level of income, are more influential predictors in purchase intention for counterfeit luxury items than price and gender. The findings of the study show a better understanding based on a developing country on how these factors affect purchasing intention of counterfeit luxury items. Thus, the study intends to identify different socio-demographic and behavioral predictors in terms of counterfeiting luxury goods. The result depicts that comparing to original products, Bangladeshi consumers are more prone to use counterfeit luxury items to maintain social values and status. Finally, limitations and managerial implications of the study, along with future research avenues, have been discussed.

“…In particular, the role of attitude is the most influential among the three variables of TPB, indicating the critical role of individuals' attitudes towards counterfeit outdoor products in purchase intention. Many studies have also found similar results that when individuals have a more favourable and positive attitude towards counterfeits, they are more likely to make a purchase of counterfeits (Sharma and Chan, 2017;Souiden et al, 2018).…”

PurposeThis study aims to compare the purchase intention of counterfeit outdoor products between Taiwan and Hong Kong consumers.Design/methodology/approachA total of 584 respondents from Hong Kong (n = 247, 42%) and Taiwan (n = 337, 58%) were recruited for the study. Data analysis was performed by using structural equation modelling techniques.FindingsThe results showed that consumers' perceived risk had a negative influence on attitude and intention to purchase counterfeit outdoor products. Moreover, attitude towards buying counterfeit outdoor products, perceived behavioural control and subjective norm had positive impacts on purchase intention. Brand consciousness, however, had a negative influence on purchase intention. The multi-group analysis identified significant differences between Hong Kong and Taiwanese respondents.Originality/valueThis study provides a better understanding of how these factors affect purchase intention of counterfeit outdoor products across different cultures.
