The Influence Of Regional Cultures On Museum’S Interior Characteristics Of Selected Regions In China
(2025-09)
Xu Haoyuan, Haoyuan
Addressing the absence of regional culture in chinese museum development is a critical issue for designers and researchers. This research deeply analyzed the profound influence of regional culture on the interior characteristics of chinese museums, especially for eight typical regions in the north and south. Through cultural mapping, including in-depth interviews, case analyses, questionnaire, and visual investigations, this research gained insights from professionals and the public understanding museum interior design. The findings reveal the significant influence of regional culture on museum characteristics, evident in layout, color coordination, material selection, and lighting design. Questionnaires encompassed diverse groups, from museum staff to local peoples, to capture varied perspectives. It's noteworthy that the influence of regional culture permeates the overall design, at the same time, it also affected layout rationality, color choices, material use, and lighting effects. Museums are seen as reflections of spaces and décor and local cultural philosophies, historical legacies, and folk customs. By adeptly integrating regional culture into museum interior characteristics, the objective is to blend museum ambiance with regional culture. The research proposes design characteristics for showcasing regional cultural museum interior characteristics, offering practical guidance to designers. The characteristics ensure that local museum designs possess aesthetic appeal and deeply reflect and preserve the region's cultural richness.
Influence Of Leadership Style On Organizational Agility Towards Construction 4.0
(2025-09)
Khan, Kashif Nawaz
The construction industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, driven by the emergence of construction 4.0 (c4.0), which emphasizes automation, smart technologies, and data-driven processes. In this evolving landscape, organizational agility (oa) has become essential for firms to adapt swiftly to technological disruptions and shifting market demands. Within this context, leadership plays a pivotal role in steering organizations through change. Yet, limited empirical research in developing countries, particularly malaysia, has examined how specific leadership styles interact with digital maturity to drive oa, leaving a critical gap in both theory and practice. This study investigates the influence of three prominent leadership styles transformational, transactional, and servant leadership on oa in malaysia’s construction sector, a key industry currently undergoing digital transformation. Specifically, the study examines the mediating roles of digital maturity (digital capabilities and leadership capabilities), and the moderating effect of coercive pressure. The research is grounded in complexity leadership theory and game theory, providing a robust theoretical framework for understanding dynamic interactions in complex organizational systems. A quantitative approach was adopted, with twenty hypotheses developed and tested. A pre-test involving industry experts and academics ensured the validity of the research instrument. Data were collected from 311 cidb-registered malaysian construction firms engaged in digitalization efforts, using structured surveys. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (pls-sem) was applied for data analysis.
The Influence Of Disruptive Technologies Adoption Readiness Model (Arm) In Road Infrastructure Operation And Maintenance
(2025-09)
Heng, Yong Ming
This study focuses on four types of disruptive technologies: Advanced Traffic Management System with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones), Internet of Things (IoT) with sensors and Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). The objective is to formulate an Adoption Readiness Model (ARM) framework to promote the implementation of these technologies among highway operators during the operations and maintenance (O&M) of Malaysian road infrastructure. A mixed-method approach with a concurrent triangular strategy is used, where qualitative and quantitative studies are conducted simultaneously.
The Effect Of Electronic Word Of Mouth (E-Wom) On Pre-Trip Travel Decisions: The Moderating Role Of Online Trust
(2025-09)
Alrefi, Ala Adel Ahmad
This study investigates the impact of electronic word-of-mouth (e-wom) on tourist decision-making in jordan, with a particular focus on the moderating role of online trust. The research explores how various antecedents—including source credibility, post-tourist experience, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and active users of social media (bloggers)—influence tourists' decisions through the mediating effect of e-wom. The study is grounded in four key theoretical frameworks: the push and pull theory, technology acceptance model (tam), elaboration likelihood model (elm), and stimulus-organism-response (s-o-r) model. These frameworks collectively provide a comprehensive lens through which to examine digital consumer behaviour in the tourism sector. A quantitative research design was adopted, and data were collected from 504 tourists who had used e-wom to make pre-travel decisions within jordan. Respondents included both jordanian and non-jordanian tourists. A structured questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool, which was validated through a pilot study. The data were analysed using statistical package for the social sciences (spss) version 22.0 and partial least squares structural equation modelling (pls-sem) version 3.2.7. Preliminary tests, including checks for missing data, outliers, normality, and multicollinearity, were conducted, followed by measurement and structural model assessments
Modelling Tourists' Behavioural Intentions Towards E-Hailing Services In Melaka: An Extended Utaut Approach With Sector-Specific Adaptations
(2025-09)
Jais, Ahmad Sahir
Integrating e-hailing services into transportation networks is increasingly vital for sustainable tourism development worldwide. Despite its importance, there remains a gap in understanding tourists' acceptance and utilisation of these services, particularly in destinations with limited public transportation options like melaka. This study aims to address this gap by investigating tourists' behavioural intentions toward e-hailing services in melaka, employing a quantitative approach. Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (utaut) model, this research examines factors influencing tourists' intentions to use e-hailing services. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 397 tourists in melaka, employing a convenience sampling technique. The study employs a confirmatory methodology to validate the applicability of the utaut model in the context of melaka's tourism landscape. The research explains the underlying mechanisms driving tourists' acceptance of e-hailing services by examining the relationship between various determinants, such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. Key findings indicate that performance expectancy, or the perceived usefulness of e-hailing services in enhancing transportation experiences, significantly shapes tourists' intentions.
