“…Despite the fact that entrepreneurial behavior is essential to the entrepreneurial journey, many other theories of entrepreneurship have been created in recent decades (Neneh, 2019). A psychological theory called the Theory of Planned Behavior, created and first proposed by Icek Ajzen in 1985, ties beliefs to behavior by focusing on the domain constructs of attitude, subjective standards and perceived behavioral control as they relate to a person's purpose (Lu et al, 2022). The basic or domain model of the TPB is shown schematically in Figure 1.…”

Malaysia still struggles with poverty despite its efforts and intentions to become a developing nation. The majority of the Orang Asli population, still classified as B40, is the largest contributor to the country's poverty rate. The government has devised and implemented several projects and plans to enhance the Orang Asli's socioeconomic position. The Malaysian government wants to encourage Orang Asli entrepreneurship. Orang Asli entrepreneurship is minimal at this time which contributes to the minority's poverty including hunger, malnutrition, restricted access to education and other critical services, social prejudice and marginalisation, and a lack of involvement in decision-making, especially for local development. This study compares Orang Asli entrepreneurial behaviour to the TPB model's components (attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and actual behavioural control). This pilot study included 40 Orang Asli entrepreneurs from Pahang and Perak. This study quantified variable relationships using face-to-face surveys. SEM tested the hypothesis. The results show that subjective norms favour Orang Asli entrepreneurship. Numerous research has been done on Orang Asli entrepreneurs, but few have used TPB to predict their entrepreneurial activities. This study examines each TPB component's ability to inspire entrepreneurial behaviour in Orang Asli. The results are beneficial for economic development, especially in boosting Orang Asli entrepreneurship in Pahang and Perak for sustainability and competitive edge and improving this minority group's socioeconomic position. They also indirectly help achieve the SDG target of ending extreme poverty by 2030. This study's findings will help academics, politicians, and aspiring entrepreneurs enhance Malaysia's entrepreneur population.

“…Currently, TPB is one of the most popular models used to predict human behavior or behavior intentions [38]. This model has been widely applied for human behavior research, such as waste-sorting behavior, learning behavior, consumer behavior, and exercise behavior [38][39][40][41].…”

Developing a Behavior Change Framework for Pandemic Prevention and Control in Public Spaces in China

et al. 2022

Preventive behavior, such as hand hygiene, facemask wearing, and social distancing, plays a vital role in containing the spread of viruses during pandemics. However, people in many parts of the world usually encounter difficulties adhering to this behavior due to various causes. Thus, this article aims to develop a research framework and propose design strategies to prompt individuals’ behavior change during pandemics. Initially, we integrated a literature review and a structured interview (n = 22) to ascertain the core factors impacting behavior change during pandemics. These factors were categorized into four aspects: perceptional factors (attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavior control, risk perceptions); social factors (knowledge and information dissemination, governmental regulations); physical factors (tools and facilities and surveillance); and sociocultural factor (cultural contexts). Then, a theoretical framework with antecedents was developed to reveal behavior intention and formation process. After that, an empirical study was carried out to test the research framework through a questionnaire survey (n = 549). The research findings indicated that all derived factors could directly or indirectly affect individuals’ preventive behavior during pandemics. This article strives to provide valuable insights for different stakeholders when coping with pandemic situations.

“…On the other hand, within the exercise domain, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) has been applied to study determinants of exercise behavior [13][14][15]. According to this theory, exercise is determined primarily by the intention to exercise: the intention is considered to summarize a motivation to act, which is determined by attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.…”

Objective This study explores the relationship between physical health beliefs and physical exercise behavior intention of college students and constructs a mediation model through the mediation role of exercise imagery. Methods Using the stratified cluster sampling method, 1356 college students were measured in group psychology by using the Physical Health Beliefs Scale, Exercise Imagery Inventory, and Physical Exercise Behavior Intention Scale. The statistical software Mplus 8.1, SPSS 22.0 and SPSS PROCESS 3.3 were used for statistical processing. The common method deviation test was carried out by Harman single-factor control method. Finally, the bootstrap sampling test method and process plug-in were used to test the significance of intermediary effect. Results (1) physical health beliefs have a significant predictive effect on physical exercise behavior intention (β = 0.32, p < 0.001); (2) exercise imagery (β = 0.13, p < 0.001) mediate the relationship between physical health beliefs and physical exercise behavior intention (physical health beliefs → exercise imagery → physical exercise behavior intention (95% Cl: 0.14, 0.32)). Conclusion physical health beliefs can directly improve the physical exercise behavior intention of college students, which can also affect college students’ physical exercise behavior intention indirectly through exercise imagery. The findings suggest that exercise imagery are important variables that mediate the effect of the college students’ physical health beliefs on their physical exercise behavior intention.
