“…Each of these is assumed to lead to intention toward the behavior and, in turn, actual behavioral engagement or avoidance. Several studies have found support for attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in predicting study abroad intention and action (Fitzsimmons et al, 2013; Goel et al, 2010; Presley et al, 2010; Schnusenberg & de Jong, 2012; Zhuang et al, 2015).…”

Studying abroad during college is an educational choice that has significant implications for students’ career, academic, and personal development. This study adapted the social cognitive models of career choice (Lent et al., 1994) and self-management (Lent & Brown, 2013) to examine predictors of study abroad interest and choice intentions. The psychometric properties of new and revised domain-specific measures of self-efficacy, outcome expectations, supports, and barriers were first assessed with an initial sample of 325 college students. The measures yielded an 8-factor structure and adequate reliability and validity estimates. The factor structure was cross-validated in an independent sample of students (N = 277). Support was also found for a higher order model of study abroad self-efficacy, with a single second order factor and three first order factors corresponding to cultural adjustment, decision-making, and administrative task self-efficacy. A structural path model offered good fit to the data and support for most of the paths predicting study abroad interests and intentions. We discuss directions for future research extending social cognitive career models to engagement in the study abroad experience and related academic/career behaviors.

“…The theory of planned behavior (TPB) of Ajzen (1991), which is widely used in studies on studying abroad behavior (Goel et al, 2010;Petzold & Moog, 2017;Presley et al, 2010;Schnusenberg et al, 2012;Zhuang et al, 2015), is the ground theory in this research. TPB theory indicates that "attitudes", "subjective norms" and "perceived behavioral control" are three important antecedents that predict behavioral intention (Pham et al, 2021).…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">In recent years, there is a growing number of Vietnamese students applying to study abroad at a younger age. Instead of waiting until adulthood, many Vietnamese parents decide to send their offspring to study abroad early from high school. This study was conducted to analyze the factors affecting the intention of Vietnamese parents to send their children to study abroad. The dataset includes 350 responses, in which parents of middle and high school students having the intention and willingness to send their children to study abroad are respondents. The research results show that perceived value, perceived risk, and three variables of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model affect the intention to send their children to study abroad with the ability of explanation 53.4%. In detail, Attitude (influenced by Success, Modern self, and Traditional self) has the most significant influence (30.9%) on the dependent variable. On that basis, some suggestions are proposed for international educational organizations and study-abroad counseling centers to help them give the right orientation to Vietnamese parents about studying-abroad. Besides, proposing some recommendations for domestic educational institutions, international educational institutions, and educational management agencies in Vietnam, in order to improve the quality of education and training, creating an ideal learning environment that meets international standards for students, and simultaneously attracting international students to Vietnam.</p>

“…Beliefs refer to ideas that individuals accept as true without verification (Murphy & Mason, 2006). Behavioral beliefs are related to the perceived value of performing an action (Zhuang, King, & Carnes, 2015). In an organizational context, beliefs are defined as conceptions that people possess regarding work, organizations, and society (Heery & Noon, 2001).…”

The main objective of this study was to test the effects of two types of beliefs about knowledge sharing, i.e., individual and collective, on the intention and behavior of knowledge sharing. In addition, this study considered the moderating roles of organizational support and training among variables. Data were obtained from 1056 participants (55.7% women and 44.3% men), all of whom were knowledge workers. A model was constructed for the relationships between the variables. The results showed that collective beliefs about knowledge sharing were good predictors of knowledge sharing intention and behavior. By contrast, individual beliefs about knowledge sharing were not good predictors of knowledge sharing intention and behavior. The results also indicated moderating roles for training and organizational support. Finally, the knowledge sharing intention predicted knowledge sharing behavior. The results of this study improve our understanding of the human factors involved with knowledge sharing.
