ABSTRACT

This study developed a model that examines the nexus between gastronomy students’ vocational commitment, postgraduate intentions, and level of concern regarding how RAISA can replace their profession. We adopted a survey to collect data from undergraduate gastronomy students in Turkey to measure the association between the designed constructs by adopting PLS-SEM (partial least squares-structural equation modeling) approach. The results revealed that vocational commitment influences RAISA-based economy concerns and students’ intention to join the food industry and academia (i.e., postgraduate study). In contrast, RAISA-based economy concerns did not influence students’ intention to join the food industry but directly influenced their intention to join academia. Furthermore, RAISA-based economy concern only mediated the link between vocational commitment and students’ intention to join academia. Following the results, we suggested imperative implications that transpired from the analyses and proffer directions for future research.

摘要

本研究开发了一个模型，用于检验美食专业学生的职业承诺、研究生意向以及对 RAISA 如何取代其职业的关注程度之间的关系。我们通过一项调查从土耳其的本科美食学生那里收集数据，通过采用 PLS-SEM（偏最小二乘结构方程模型）方法来衡量设计结构之间的关联。结果表明，职业承诺会影响基于 RAISA 的经济问题以及学生加入食品行业和学术界（即研究生学习）的意愿。相比之下，基于RAISA的经济担忧并没有影响学生加入食品行业的意愿，而是直接影响了他们加入学术界的意愿。此外，基于 RAISA 的经济关注仅在职业承诺与学生加入学术界的意愿之间起到中介作用。根据结果​​，我们提出了从分析中得出的必要影响，并为未来的研究提供了方向。
