Nowadays, international visitors often use the Internet to find information and share their travel experiences on social networks. This action helps other travellers make their traveling plans easier. However, there has not been much research on the user's perception on the use of travel content. This study aims to develop a model to measure the impact of user's perception on user-generated tourism content and to use the SEM model to test the feasibility of the proposed model. Results show that the perceived usefulness (PU) indirectly influenced user-generated content through the following channels: electronic word of mouth (eWOM), attitudes of visitors when choosing destinations and attitudes when using media social communication. The paper also provides recommendations to stakeholders in order to improve the value of content which is generated by international visitors for the development of the Vietnamese tourism industry.

The present study uses a multi-stage sampling technique, which first creates four clusters; including Karachi, Quetta, Peshawar, and Lahore, and picks one cluster; namely Lahore, randomly for the purpose of the study. Second, proportionate sampling technique is used to calculate the proportionate values of every individual educational institute. Finally, systematic sampling is used to compute the sampling interval kth number of individual univer-sities. Data are collected from the provincial capital city of Punjab province (Lahore) and a total of 511 questionnaires are distributed among postgraduate students under business education discipline of private HEIs, 206 questionnaires are excluded from the sample due to some missing and misleading values, and final analysis is run by using SmartPLS 3.2.8 on 345 questionnaires.

Among factors associated with leaders, leadership skills are considered as the most important characteristics because leadership skills are the abilities to perform tasks, transform knowledge into leaders' actions and demonstrate the leadership's expertise when applying the acquired knowledge in practices to achieve desired performance. This article focuses on studying the effects of leadership skills on the performance of Vietnamese textile and garment companies, which is one of the most important industries of this developing country. To achieve the objectives of this study, this article uses quantitative approach with various statistical techniques; namely, Cronbach's Alpha, EFA and CFA, SEM to analyze the primary data with SPSS and AMOS software and to test the hypotheses. The results show that strategic skills had the greatest impacts on the performance of Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises followed by interpersonal and business skills. Cognitive skills had the weakest effects on the per-formance of Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises. Thus, to enhance performance, leaders should improve and develop these skills.

Regional autonomy is designed to increase the welfare of the community with the idea that regional government best understands what must be done in order to increase and improve human resources. The quality of human resources in a community can be a determining factor for the success of development initiatives in a region. Regional governments must be able to properly plan, to implement, and to evaluate regional budget allocations as they have direct impacts on regional gross regional domestic product (GRDP) as well as on measurable community welfare as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). This study examines the relationship between government spending and human development in regional governments of Papua Province, Indonesia as measured by the HDI. A secondary analysis of government data and Human Development Index (HDI) data was conducted using structural equation modelling. The secondary analysis of regional government budget allocations and HDI data suggests that spending with the goal of improving the lives of community members seems to lead to an improvement of HDI. This study is focused on regional governments in one province of Indonesia. While its findings suggest that governments should make supporting human resources a priority if they hope to see improvement in HDI, similar studies should be conducted in other communities in order to see how different cultural or political settings affect the relationship between spending and HDI. This study adds to our understanding of development with its focus on Papua Province, an under-studied area in development research.

Maldistribution of skilled health workers between urban and rural area, especially pharmacist has become a global phenomenon. Not only the developing countries but also the developed country like the United States has been facing the same issue for a decades. Thus, many researchers have been trying to figure it out the reasons behind this occurrence. In their studies, most of the research-ers agreed that fresh graduates from pharmacy school were willing to work in the rural area. Therefore the primary aim of this study is to identify the important factors that can affect pharmacy stu-dents’ intention to work in rural area. Additionally, this study also tests the mediating effect of inter-est on the intention to work in the rural area of pharmacy students. A conceptual model is developed based on the two popular theories; namely theory of individual behavior and theory of interest. This model consists of three independent and one mediating and dependent variable. A quantitative ap-proach is used to test the hypotheses. With a structured questionnaire, this study is managed to get 675 students from different pharmacy schools. Multiple regression and Sobel tests are applied to test the direct and mediating effect. Results show that two out of three had a significant direct effect on pharmacy students’ intention to work in rural area. Similarly, a mediating effect also reveals the same. Based on the results, it is clear that predisposing variable is the most important for the phar-macy students’ interest to work in the rural area. The finding of this study, indeed, fills the paucity of the empirical evidence regarding pharmacy students’ working intention to the rural area, especial-ly in the Indonesian context. Based on the findings, this study provides several recommendations for the government as well as pharmacy curricula developer.

This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidences on the effects of proactive market orientation (PMO) and management commitment to internal resource (MCIR) on export performance. The sample of this study includes the owners or leaders of handicraft exporter industry consisting of 72 respondents with a purposive random sampling in West Java, Indonesia. Data collection techniques are arranged by distributing questionnaires, interviewing, and recording documentation from the respondents. The data analysis uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) with the tools of SPSS and SmartPLS statistical programs. The results show that the effect of proactive market orientation (PMO) on export performance (EP) was positive and significant. The effect of management commitment to internal resource (MCIR) on export performance was also positive and significant. MCIR has also a more considerable influence than PMO on ex-port performance. This research has implications for policy makers and creative industries in im-proving the export performance, especially handicraft industries in developing countries. Further-more, it is hoped that handicraft industries will consider the research findings in making business decisions and to improve their business success.
