“…Such partial use of the model is consistent with that of other studies that also have employed the TPB in focused ways (e.g., Celuch, Taylor, & Goodwin, 2004;Taylor & Todd, 1995). Still, the TPB provided the current study with several important guides, including ones for: eliciting salient beliefs about majoring in the discipline, assimilating the beliefs through content analysis, and translating those results into quantifiable survey items.…”

ABSTRACT. Most prospective students are unfamiliar with Human Development and Family Science (HDFS), which makes building program enrollment among incoming students challenging. This study used the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) to conduct a twostage empirical analysis of attitudes associated with majoring in HDFS. HDFS students demonstrated many significantly different attitudes toward majoring in the field than did non-HDFS students. They possessed more positive attitudes toward the discipline's treatment of human sexuality, its development of interpersonal communication skills, and its potential for strengthening families. These findings may prove beneficial to HDFS departments that want to improve perceptions of the field and build enrollment. Several strategies for program development and communication enhancement are presented.Family science is a relatively young discipline, and as such, does not possess the same recognizability that other social science programs such as psychology or sociology enjoy. Unlike majors such as chemistry, social work, and history, our own experience suggests that Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) tends to be a discovery major, meaning that most incoming college students are unfamiliar with the field and only learn about such programs after they have been on campus a semester or more. Furthermore, once they do hear about HDFS, it is not unusual for students and their parents to have questions about the curricular content of such programs, to wonder how the discipline of family science is distinctive from other social science fields, and to ask about the types of careers that are available to persons with an HDFS degree. This unfamiliarity with the discipline of HDFS may contribute to low numbers of first year students enrolling in HDFS programs, suggesting that those in the field have considerable work to do in terms of educating prospective students, their families, potential employers, and colleagues in other departments about HDFS.A first step in effective education often involves identifying what learners already know, which also serves to reveal what they do not know. The current study sought to discover what prospective students know and do not know about HDFS by comparing their attitudes toward majoring in the field against those of students who have already chosen the discipline. As might be expected, this empirical analysis revealed many significant differences in attitudes between the two sample groups. However, the value of the research came from identifying the specific beliefs and affections responsible for the differences, which might be useful in developing HDFS Please direct correspondence to Dr. Raeann Hamon at rhamon@messiah.edu.

“…The number of articles, journals and general studies in family SMEs' context, compared to the overall studies, is considerably low (Astrachan & Torsten, 2010), which it seems to be even worse in case of developing countries (Gomez, 2012).

“…The role of subjective norm had been evidently studied by prior researches in SME domain (e.g., Kula & Tatoglu, 2003;Riemenschneider et al, 2003;Sarosa & Underwood, 2005;Dawkins & Frass, 2005;Ghamatrasa, 2006;Celuch et al, 2007;Nasco et al, 2008;Abbasi et al, 2010;Hajiha, et al, 2010). However, regarding to the significant differences in case of CEO's perception of internal and/or external expectation (pressure) in family SMEs caused by their unique characteristics, such as networking intensity, dependency, conservativeness and altruism, the role of subjective norm in such district SMEs, as recently considered by a study of Niehm et al (2010) needs more investigation.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to provide a conceptual model for the purpose of examining potential influencing factors as well as particular effect of family SMEs' heterogeneity factors on EC adoption in Iranian family SMEs.Design/methodology/approach -The conceptual model originates from EC adoption study backgrounds, grounded in the major concepts of frequently EC adoption and their dependent-extended models. Literature review presents relevant items under their main first order factors, including family SMEs' heterogeneity factors, categorized by contexts.Findings -The model, in which EC adoption refers to the significance of 'Extent of Deployment' as innovation behavior, respecting to the theoretical basis of human behavior including essential pure theories (i.e. Learning; Anchoring-and-Adjustment) and major concepts of frequently EC adoption models (TAM; TPB; SCT; DOI), besides role of family SMEs' heterogeneity factors (i.e. The moderating effects of 'Family Strategic Orientation') provided a basis for assessing potential EC adoption antecedents (under which different facets of EC adoption would be considered) including 13 th first orders, categorized under four main individual, organizational, industrial, and national contexts.Practical implications -As a sustainable business market mean, EC adoption as an extra-exploitation of electronic commerce, making wider and more diversified external 'business-linked' and/or 'customer-linked' business relationships, particularly for family SMEs that suffer from 'marketing deficiency', time and effort is necessary so as to identify influencing factors and diagnose their effects on EC deployment in such Iranian SMEs, where EC adoption is questionably near to ground. The presented model is quite valuable for the analysis.Originality/value -This paper presents a conceptual model for analyzing EC adaption factors under related contexts. Independent influences of 12 first potential factors categorized in four contexts as well as the moderation effect of 'family strategic orientation' variable on EC adoption are studied in the model. The design differs from previous studies as they used dichotomous approaches for 'family strategic Orientation' determination.

“…El modelo de la TDCP ha recibido gran atención por parte de investigadores de diversas áreas: en la inversión online (Bhattacherjee, 2002), en la adopción de tecnología por estudiantes universitarios (George, 2004;Harsthorne y Ajjan, 2009;Thompson, Compeau y Higgins, 2006), en la banca electrónica (Celuch, Goodwing y Taylor, 2007;Hansen, 2008;Hernández y Mazzón, 2007;Lau, Yen y Chau, 2001; Md-Nor y Pearson, 2006), en el uso de servicios móviles (Pedersen, 2005), en la telemedicina (Chau y Hu, 2002; Van der Geer y Kangis, 2002), en los pasajes de avión electrónicos (Chen, 2008), en las tecnologías educativas (Baltaci-Goktalay y Ozdilek, 2010), en las compras online (Hsie-Fen, 2007; Lee y Lee, 2011), y en los servicios turísticos (Han y Kim, 2010;Han, Hsu y Sheu, 2010;Hsu y Huang, 2012). Dada la versatilidad y la capacidad de explicación de dicho modelo, a través de múltiples factores, puede decirse que se trata de un modelo muy extendido a la hora de explicar la intención de adopción de tecnologías y servicios muy variados (Herrero, 2005).…”

NOTA DEL AUTOR AL LECTOREl enfoque Panárquico planteado en esta tesis doctoral que estás a punto de leer es un enfoque poco convencional, basado en un tipo de pensamiento complejo y orgánico, que plantea la observación e interpretación de las experiencias de este mundo como si éste fuera un organismo vivo. Un organismo en el que tan importante son sus partes como la vinculación e interacción entre las mismas. Se trata de un enfoque multidimensional, en el que las variables cambian con el transcurso de los eventos y en el que las interconexiones y los componentes cualitativos son clave para el entendimiento del funcionamiento de dichas experiencias.El enfoque Panárquico debe entenderse a nivel teórico y conceptual, como una metáfora de un ciclo de adaptación que da explicación al funcionamiento de cualquier sistema complejo adaptativo, ya sean células, ecosistemas o sociedades. Lo que se persigue con este enfoque es abrir la mente a un nuevo paradigma más integrador y holístico, entender el funcionamiento de las experiencias en su globalidad, así como la necesidad de la adaptación, el cambio y la resiliencia a la hora de lograr la sostenibilidad y el desarrollo de éstas....
