Moving toward Digital Transformation by Force: Students' Preferences, Happiness, and Mental Health

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated and, somehow, forced the process of digital transformation within the higher education sector. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online modes of course delivery have become the only available way of teaching in almost all parts of the world. We conducted a study in Mexico to know about students' preferences for these forced online class schedules, exams and assignments, and online teaching styles during this health crisis. Furthermore, this research sought to know about the impact of this forced digitalization on students' mental health and happiness. To conduct a conjoint analysis, we collected survey-based data from 219 undergraduate Mexican students. The most preferred attributes for students for online classes were "having a short online class (50 min)", "possibility to have 70% pre-exam assignments and 30% final exam", and "having a humorous professor in online classes". In terms of students' mental health, the prevalence of "moderate" anxiety and depression was 21.8%, and the prevalence of "severe" anxiety and depression was 14.9%. In terms of happiness, male students and students with shorter online classes per day felt a higher level of happiness.

Preferences and values for government policies on infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics for the Japanese population: a conjoint analysis.

AIMS: To investigate the preferences of the Japanese population for government policies expected to address infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics. METHODS: We performed a conjoint analysis based on survey data in December 2022 (registration number: UMIN000049665). The attributes for the conjoint analysis were policies: tests, vaccines, therapeutic drugs, behavior restrictions (e.g. self-restraint or restrictions on the gathering or travel of individuals and the hours of operation or serving of alcoholic beverages in food/beverage establishments), and entry restrictions (from abroad), and monetary attribute: an increase in the consumption tax from the current 10%, to estimate the monetary value of the policies. A logistic regression model was used for the analysis. RESULTS: Data were collected from 2,185 respondents. The accessibility of tests, vaccines, and therapeutic drugs was preferred regardless of the accessibility level. The value for accessibility of drugs to anyone at any medical facility was estimated at 4.80% of a consumption tax rate, equivalent to JPY 10.5 trillion, which was the highest among the policies evaluated in this study. The values for implementing behavior or entry restrictions were negative or lower than those for tests, vaccines, and drugs. LIMITATIONS: Respondents chosen from an online panel were not necessarily representative of the Japanese population. Because the study was conducted in December 2022, a period during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the results may reflect the situation at that time and potentially be subject to rapid change. CONCLUSIONS: Among the policy options evaluated in this study, the most preferred option was easily accessible therapeutic drugs and their monetary value was substantial. Wider accessibility of tests, vaccines, and drugs was preferred over behavior and entry restrictions. We believe that the results provide information for policymaking to prepare for future infectious disease epidemics and for assessing the response to COVID-19 in Japan.

Estimation of Intangible Costs for Factors Associated with Oral Antiviral Drugs for COVID-19 Treatment: A Conjoint Analysis in Japan.

INTRODUCTION: During the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, preferences for factors associated with vaccines have been evaluated. Three oral antiviral drugs have been approved in Japan for patients with mild-to-moderate I COVID-19 symptoms. Although preferences for the drugs may also depend on various factors, these have not been fully evaluated. METHODS: A conjoint analysis was performed based on an online survey in August 2022 to estimate the intangible costs of factors associated with oral antiviral drugs for COVID-19. Respondents were individuals aged 20-69 across Japan. The attributes included the company (Japanese/foreign) that developed the drug, formulation and size of the drug, frequency of administration per day, number of tablets/capsules per dose, number of days until no longer infectious to others, and out-of-pocket expenses. A logistic regression model was applied to estimate the utility of each level for each attribute. The intangible costs were calculated by comparing the utility to the out-of-pocket attribute. RESULTS: Responses were collected from 11,303 participants. The difference between levels was the largest for companies that developed a drug; the intangible costs were JPY 5390 higher for the foreign company than for the Japanese company. The next largest difference was in the number of days until one is no longer infectious. For the same formulation, the intangible cost was lower for small sizes than large sizes. For similar-sized tablets and capsules, the intangible cost was lower for tablets than capsules. These tendencies were similar regardless of COVID-19 infection history and the presence of risk factors for severe COVID-19 in the respondents. CONCLUSION: Intangible costs for factors associated with oral antiviral drugs among the Japanese population were estimated. The results may change as the number of people with a history of COVID-19 infection increases and significant progress is made regarding treatments.

Conjoint Analysis based Predictive Analytics to study the employee attitude towards virtual and digital work practices in IoT work environments

Covid-19 has been one of the most disruptive pandemics to date. Among the other aspects of disruption, it also disrupted the way people work in organizations. Many of the organizations surrendered their offices for good. However, there are many ill effects of these unconventional work practices also. This research study aims to explore the perception of the employees towards the adoption of Virtual and flexible work practices. The study uses a conjoint analysis approach on different possible Work Practice Profiles, that specify the nature of work (Virtual, offline, or hybrid), nature of work schedule (flexible, or fixed), nature of ownership (individual, or team), and length of working hours (8.5 hours, or 9.5 hours or 10.5 hours). The study finds that the number of working hours is the most important criterion for the employees followed by mode of work, responsibility, and work schedule. © 2023 IEEE.

A Conjoint Analysis Approach, Implications, and Mitigation Plans in Analyzing Students' Preferences for Online Learning Delivery Types during the COVID-19 Pandemic for Engineering Students: A Case Study in the Philippines

Traditional face-to-face classes were replaced with online learning when the COVID-19 pandemic happened. Students were unfamiliar with the virtual setup, as well as the technological challenges, which led to dissatisfaction and affected their academic performance. This research study surveyed 230 engineering students and applied conjoint analysis to analyze their preferences in online learning delivery. Using SPSS Statistics software, we revealed the top three attributes for delivery type: interaction, flexibility, and proctored exam. In addition, the most favored combination from the generated stimuli was a form of blended mode delivery. The synchronous meetings and asynchronous activities allowed students to manage their time efficiently. It could be deduced from the findings that students highly preferred the combination considering learner-instructor, live chats, real-time lecture meetings, and automatic availability, with a focus on synchronous online learning modes. Higher education institutions may reflect on the results of this study to reassess the online learning environment they implement among students. Incorporating a student's learning style to determine the relationship between their preference for online learning delivery type will be helpful for further research through application and study extension. It is suggested that the perceptions of instructors and students enrolled under different learning modalities and their effectiveness should also be addressed. This is a recommendation for future research to consider. Especially near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional face-to-face learning was being implemented. Thus, future studies may want to consider an analysis of the behavioral intentions of students. On the other hand, analyses such as student behavioral intentions for the future applications of the different modalities and comparisons thereof may be conducted to enhance the implications for, policies of, and strategies of universities.

How do consumers select between hotels and Airbnb? A hierarchy of importance in accommodation choice

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the impact of key decision-making attributes on consumers' choice of accommodation among and between hotels and Airbnb.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a choice-based conjoint approach using 21 key decision-making factors that impact consumers' choice of accommodation across five segments ranging from economy to luxury. Latent class estimation was used to identify segments of respondents who tend to have similar preferences for accommodation.FindingsThe results showed the presence of a consistent pattern of decision-making across the five accommodation segments, culminating in a hierarchy of importance in accommodation choice. The 21 key decision-making attributes comprised three tiers in order of decreasing importance: quality and service, amenities, and accessibility and safety. Further, latent class analysis indicated the presence of a hotel group and an Airbnb group of customers, which allowed us to identify how both types of providers might maximize the value of their offers to encourage customer switch.Research limitations/implicationsThe accommodation landscape is extremely dynamic (particularly as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds) and complex. The present study cannot capture all of its intricacies but provides an invaluable foundation for future research on the topic of consumer choice in an evolving and competitive accommodation market.Originality/valueExtant research on accommodation choice has focused on hotels or Airbnb only. Moreover, research that has considered both types of accommodation simultaneously is limited in its conceptual and methodological scope. The present study synthesizes the fragmented literature on consumers' accommodation choices and offers a holistic and coherent schematic – the hierarchy of importance in accommodation choice – that can be used by future researchers and practitioners alike.

Trauma-informed workshop for healing couples

This dissertation aims to develop a workshop curriculum focused on resiliency and post-trauma growth in couples. Significant shifts have been seen in work with trauma and couples, from a primary focus on solution-focused conflict reduction to a higher priority on post-traumatic growth and resiliency. In a randomized controlled trial of cognitive behavioral conjoint therapy, Wagner et al. (2016) note the importance of future research focusing on post-traumatic growth in treatment due to its positive impacts on relationships. As the world has seen significant levels of stress from the Coronavirus pandemic and, most recently, the war in Ukraine, the need for support for families is high. This project aims to integrate new constructs of couples counseling with trauma-informed approaches. Keywords: workshop, couples, trauma, post-traumatic growth.

Les relations de travail entre la Cour des comptes et la Cour des comptes européenne : importation ou exportation des travaux ?

Parce que les politiques européennes s'exécutent majoritairement en gestion partagée au sein des États membres, et que plusieurs d'entre elles traitent des enjeux qui dépassent le périmètre national, la coopération entre la Cour des comptes européenne, chargée du contrôle du budget de l'Union, et les institutions supérieures de contrôle nationales, est nécessaire. Cette coopération, prévue par le Traité, prend des formes diverses qui doivent toutefois respecter l'indépendance de chaque institution,. Entre la Cour des comptes européenne et la Cour des comptes française, les échanges professionnels sont nombreux et féconds, peu formalisés et orientés vers les enjeux majeurs du contrôle des politiques européennes dans les années à venir : environnement, énergie, gouvernance économique et financière, relance post-Covid.Alternate : The European policies are predominantly implemented under a shared management in Member States, and most of them address challenges exceeding national borders. A cooperation between the European Court of Auditors, in charge of auditing the European budget, and national Supreme Audit Institutions is therefore necessary. This cooperation, provided for by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, takes various forms that have however to respect the independence of each institution. The relationship between the European and the French Courts of Auditors involves a number of fruitful professional exchanges, conducted in an informal way and oriented towards addressing the major challenges that the EU will be confronted with in the coming decade: environment, energy, financial and economic governance, post-Covid recovery.

Conjoint Analysis on the Attributes Affecting the Customers' Preference of Hotel Accommodation

Hotel is an essential establishment that can offer lodging to travellers and accommodation for meetings/events. However due to the instability of the market in hotel, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increase of competition in the industry. In order to cope with this problem, hotels tend to increase its quality and services in order to meet the ideal preference of the customer. The study aimed to determine the combination of hotel attributes that the customer deemed preferred using a Conjoint Analysis Approach. The study specifically utilized attributes like price, accessibility to nearest landmark, inclusivity of breakfast, amenities, and dining options. The results show that the price was the most preferred attributes by the customer (40.787%), followed by the inclusivity of breakfast (32.913%), accessibility to nearest landmark (15.433%), hotel amenities (8.504%), and the least preferred is the dining options (2.362%). The outcome will be beneficial to the hotel owners and manager on the customer preference on the attributes. © 2022 ACM.

A study on blood donor characteristics and preferred environment of South Koreans during the COVID-19 pandemic: A conjoint analysis.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a decrease in the number of blood donors worldwide, posing a global problem. Therefore, this study investigates people who have continuously participated in blood donation during the COVID-19 pandemic and collects basic information as a reference for maintaining stable amounts of blood during future pandemics. Methods: The participants of this study were selected from the population of South Korea through stratified sampling considering region and age distributions. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the participants were recruited online through Embrain, an online research and survey company, from June 1 to June 28, 2021. Data were collected from a total of 1,043 participants and used in the study. Results: The results of this study showed that there was a difference between the donors group and non-donors group in factors such as donation attitude (F = 73.342, p < 0.001), donation knowledge (F = 6.530, p < 0.01), and preventive health behavior (F = 12.352, p < 0.001). Overall, blood donors showed favorable attitude toward and considerable knowledge of blood donation as well as a high level of preventive health behavior. The environment most preferred by people who participated in blood donation during the COVID-19 pandemic was "going with family to a blood donation center that gives out free gifts in a region far away with no confirmed cases," which showed the highest utility (utility = 0.734). Conclusion: Even during pandemics, donation attitude, donation knowledge, and preventive health behavior can serve as key factors affecting participation in blood donation. Additionally, blood donation centers that donors can visit with their families represent a favorable environment for the promotion of blood donation during pandemics.

Nurse preferences of caring robots: A conjoint experiment to explore most valued robot features.

AIM: Due to the COVID pandemic and technological innovation, robots gain increasing role in nursing services. While studies investigated negative attitudes of nurses towards robots, we lack an understanding of nurses' preferences about robot characteristics. Our aim was to explore how key robot features compare when weighed together. METHODS: Cross-sectional research design based on a conjoint analysis approach. Robot dimensions tested were: (1) communication; (2) look; (3) safety; (4) self-learning ability; and (5) interactive behaviour. Participants were asked to rank robot profile cards from most to least preferred. RESULTS: In order of importance, robot's ability to learn ranked first followed by behaviour, look, operating safety and communication. Most preferred robot combination was 'robot responds to commands only, looks like a machine, never misses target, runs programme only and behaves friendly'. CONCLUSIONS: Robot self-learning capacity was least favoured by nurses showing potential fear of robots taking over core nurse competencies.

Is european attachment sufficiently strong to support an EU fiscal capacity: Evidence from a conjoint experiment

Based on a conjoint survey experiment with 10,000 respondents from France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Spain at the end of March/beginning of April 2020, we explore how individual characteristics shape support among Eurozone citizens for a European Union (EU) budgetary assistance instrument to combat adverse temporary or permanent economic shocks hitting EU Member States. We consider particularly the role of socioeconomic factors, such as income and education, covid fears and European attachment. Remarkably, how covid worries and European attachment affect the support for specific designs of the assistance instrument is not affected by other factors, in particular not by socioeconomic factors. These latter factors play an important role affecting support, independent of European attachment. Programs with European Commission monitoring (and recommendations) and cross-country redistribution, possibly even mandatory towards poor countries, can count on stronger support from those with higher European attachment. Those with strong covid fears are generally more in favour of EU budgetary assistance, mandatory spending of assistance on healthcare and redistribution to poor countries. Programs with Commission monitoring (and recommendations) receive extra support from high-income and highly-educated individuals. Also, the latter group specifically favors potential or mandatory cross-border redistribution. The independent role of individual European attachment suggests that instruments other than socioeconomic policies, e.g. better information provision about its use, may help raise support for an EU assistance instrument. © 2023 The Author(s)

Vaccination or NPI? A conjoint analysis of German citizens' preferences in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This research uses discrete choice-based conjoint analysis that elicits the preference structure of German citizens when it comes to their timely intention to vaccinate. The focus is on the trade-offs between pharmaceuticals (vaccine) and "non-pharmaceutical interventions" (NPIs) such as lock-downs and social distancing measures, as well as the value of voluntary versus mandatory compliance to the citizens. Our results highlight three critical insights: (a) value of waiting: at 70% effective vaccine, 1/3 of citizens still would prefer to be vaccinated in the next 6 months rather than immediately; (b) costs of NPI constraints: an effective vaccine may come as a solution to compensate for the costs induced by invasive NPI imposed for an extended period; (c) freedom of choice: voluntary compliance is preferred by citizens over imposed measures whether it relates to vaccination choice, lock-down measures, or work location choice during the pandemic. Backing up those findings in monetary value, a quick shot of a 100% effective vaccination is estimated to be worth in the range of 11,400€. Still, the value of the shot quickly falls to no value when effectiveness drops below 50. At the same time, the cost of imposing protective rules lies in the range of 1500-2500€, depending on the rule analyzed. In comparison, the burden of extra complete lock-down and social distancing is about 775€ per citizen per month. As most current vaccines are being proven to have high efficacy, a strategy that selects the most effective vaccine candidates while emphasizing how the vaccine may stop the pain of lasting lock-downs will be appropriate to nudge the population towards vaccination. Control measures that are too restrictive may be welfare-deteriorating, but enough NPI measures must be recommended as long as vaccination adoption is not sufficiently large.

Organization Branding in the Post-COVID-19 World – An Employer and Employee Perspective

Employer branding is a tool to create a positive perception of an organization in the minds of existing and prospective employees. Employer branding not only helps in getting the best talent for an organization, but also reduces the cost of talent acquisition. Employees are not merely passive participants of the recruitment process;they aggressively seek information about the employers using secondary resources like blogs and social media pages of the company and are involved in the co-creation of the recruitment process. The study used a narrative review to identify the factors affecting employer branding. The study then used the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique and TOPSIS to rank these factors, hence identifying the importance of five factors for an employer. The study further performed conjoint analysis to identify the utility of the identified factors for employees. The narrative review of the studies identified salary, job security, training and development, work-life balance, and career progress. The study's results suggested a significant gap between employers' and employees' perspectives, which must be addressed. Salary and job security are the hygiene factors and had a high priority for employees and employers. While career progress is important for employees, it got less preference from employers. The study findings will be useful for managers designing online branding strategies and those at the helm of corporate communication. © 2023, Associated Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd..

The choice between business travel and video conferencing after COVID-19 - Insights from a choice experiment among frequent travelers.

COVID-19 has accelerated the substitution of videoconferencing for business travel. However, little research exists about the decision-making behavior of business travelers considering virtual alternatives. We fill this gap by reconceptualizing the decision-making process and investigating the fundamental choice between face-to-face (FtF) and virtual communication (VC) using an adaptive choice-based conjoint analysis. We argue that the process of decision making of business travelers is distinct to that of leisure travelers, as the fundamental decision between FtF and VC occurs prior to subsequent travel decisions. We show that the purpose of the meeting, the character of the message, and the location of the meeting are the decision attributes of greatest importance. Using a novel methodology we present a holistic decision model that increases the theoretical understanding of business traveler decision-making and provide practitioners with comprehensive insights relevant to travel policy development, and executives in the business travel market with guidance with management decisions.

How important is the tuition fee during the COVID-19 pandemic in a developing country? Evaluation of filipinos' preferences on public university attributes using conjoint analysis.

In a developing country like the Philippines, it is critical to understand the important factors which lead college students to their current colleges and universities, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study utilized the conjoint analysis approach with an orthogonal design for evaluating understudy's inclination in choosing a college with the various attributes such as the tuition fee, distance or location, employability, academic reputation, recommended by friends and peers, recommended by family or relatives, and the availability to transfer was assessed. A total of 518 Filipino students studying at public and state universities participated in answering the 16 combined attributions about university preference using purposive sampling approach. Based on the utilities estimate, the most important attribute was the tuition fee of the preferred university with an importance value of about 32.839%, followed by the employability rate of the university with about 6% gap difference. The mid-concerned attributes were the distance/location with an estimated of 11.139%, recommendation of friends or peers with approximately 11.689% tying together, and the academic reputation with an estimated of 10.638%. The two least important attributes were identified to be the availability to transfer, having with only about 2.713%, and the recommendation of parents with only 2% difference at approximately 4.453%. The outcomes of this study can aid college chairmen and enrolment specialists tweak their advertising procedures by giving significant data to the chief gatherings engaged with settling college decision choices.

The effects of frequent flyer programs in the competition with high speed rail: A case study of air passenger preference in Japan

This study tried to evaluate the effects of Frequent Flyer Programs (FFPs) in competition with High Speed Rail (HSR) by conducting conjoint analysis, using data from our questionnaire surveys at Komatsu airport in Japan. The effects of FFPs, which were evaluated as passengers’ Marginal Willingness to Pay (MWTP) for flight mileage points, were compared with passengers that flew on the competing route with HSR, and those that flew on the non-competing route with HSR. We found that FFPs seem to be more effective at attracting not only FFP members on business, but also FFP members not on business, on the competitive route with HSR. However, the power of FFPs to increase customer loyalty would become weaker after the COVID-19 pandemic if we consider the negative impacts of COVID-19 on business travel demand. On the other hand, when we focus on the non-business passenger, after the pandemic, FFPs would still be effective at cultivating customer loyalty on the competitive route with HSR.

Understanding Customer Preferences on Laptop Variants and Models for Students and Working Professionals

Purpose of the study: Computers have become inevitable for small businesses, as well as in the home front, irrespective of their size, shape, model- variants and their cost. Pandemic also has mandated people to purchase one gadget or the other to meet the challenges of work-from home / online education. The researchers aimed to study the Customer demographic profile & purchase behaviour of buying laptops among the IT, manufacturing industry and educational sector (students) laptop users. The study also aims to determine the competitive intensity and attractiveness of this sector. Methodology: To study the Customer demographic profile & purchase behavior of buying laptops among the IT, manufacturing industry and educational sector (students), the researchers have undertaken a quantitative research study using probability sampling method. The data is collected from a sample of 400 students and working professionals in Tamil Nadu, India, using simple random sampling technique. Structured questionnaire has been used for collecting primary data. Main Findings: This research seeks to develop a better understanding of the customer demographic profile & purchase behaviour of buying laptops among the IT, Manufacturing industry and student users. The study also indicates the factors influencing consumers’ laptop purchases. All working professionals and students have the similar preferences in Brands of laptop and the size of the monitor, whereas purchase behaviour of customers differ, when it comes to price, speed, storage, graphic card, operating system and processor. Application of the study: Although the survey in this paper is illustrated in respect to the perspective of working professionals and student laptop users, it can be interesting to replicate the study on student laptop-users of different cities and countries and compare the obtained results in a future work. Similar studies on other techno-gadgets such as tablets or smart phones can be carried out to understand the market trends and changing customers’ needs and wants and evaluate their demographic profile & purchase behaviour. Novelty / Originality of the study: The study on the customer demographic profile & purchase behaviour of buying laptops among the IT, manufacturing industry and educational sector (students) laptop users is an original piece of work by the researchers. However, the topic may be common and a number of studies in this area have been conducted earlier too. The study would help to understand the market trends and changing customers’ needs and wants and evaluate their demographic profile & purchase behaviour of laptops considering factors such as brands, price, speed, storage, graphic card, operating system and processor. Such studies provide valuable base data for the laptop manufacturers and marketers to re-design their product and services, according to needs and wants of their customers.

The effect of parental involvement through conjoint behavior consultation on academic skill attainment for students diagnosed with high functioning autism spectrum disorder

The present study examined whether parental involvement within the framework of the parent-teacher relationship as established through Conjoint Behavior Consultation (CBC) enhances the academic achievement of students diagnosed with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HFASD). Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, this study began with the intervention group learning via a hybrid model and control group learning virtually. Unavoidable complications mid study caused an alteration of the instructional model for some students in the control group which altered the variables for that group and overall results showed growth in academic achievement from May to June. Through visual analysis, results revealed additional progress of the intervention group beginning in February. This demonstrates that by addressing interfering behaviors of students diagnosed with HFASD, this increased their availability to learn which resulted in increased academic progress on math, reading and writing goals, as compared to a control group who did not receive the CBC intervention. For students in the intervention group, out of 18 total goals,10 were mastered compared to the control group that mastered only five goals by the end of the school year. This study provides teachers and consultants with sufficient evidence that CBC is an effective intervention to increase the academic achievement in students diagnosed with HFASD and of the importance of establishing a collaborative home-school relationship. Future research can utilize the results of this current study to determine whether the addition of CBC as an intervention added to the program for students with HFASD could result in future mainstreaming opportunities.
