Published: September 2019

developing country, i.e., Thailand 2) to propose managerial guidelines to increase service capacity in the tourism accommodation sector in a remote area in a developing country that depends on the tourism industry for a large share of the national income.
Methodology: A questionnaire was developed and distributed to 400 tourists to explore their expectations and satisfaction level in terms of the accommodation services they have experienced in a remote area. Mean, standard deviation, T-Test and F-Test were used to analyse the collected data. In-depth interviews were conducted with managers and staff in charge of managing and providing services in the accommodation.
Main Findings: The study showed that tourists have low expectations, but high levels of satisfaction towards the five aspects of service quality in the tourism accommodation sector in a remote area.
Implications/Applications: Thus, guidelines were developed to increase service capacity for accommodations, located in a remote area in Thailand and to enhance tourists’ experience to achieve the highest satisfaction levels. Five measures are described below. First, emphasize accountability and trustworthiness. For tourists’ benefits, legal measures should be set to control and manage accommodations that cannot correctly comply with the agreements or terms and conditions of advertisements or promotions. Second, focus on responding to tourists’ demands and their curiosity, staff should always accurately serve their needs. Also, inform and provide short and clear explanations to tourists when any changes occur after finalizing agreements with the tourist. Moreover, the service procedure should be convenient, fast, and simple. Third, increase tourists’ confidence towards accommodation services and staff by pursuing the following manners: honesty, well-mannered, gentle and friendly services with service-minded attitude. Fourth, because sympathy is another key success, encourage staff to show concern, kindness, and willingness to help and treat tourists equally. Finally, highlight the tangible assets such as providing a clean and attractive environment, both inside and outside of the accommodation. Increasing the accommodation’s sense of visibility through both offline and online advertisement and media is important.
E-GOVERNANCE DIMENSIONS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MAURITIUS
Authors: Sanmukhiya Dr. Chintamanee 
Published: September 2019

Purpose: This study is the first attempt to examine the attitudes of citizens towards six key dimensions of e-governance in the Republic of Mauritius namely: ‘Perceived Ease of Use’ (PEOU) and ‘Perceived Usefulness’ (PU) of the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis,1989); ‘Collaboration’ and ‘Participation’ inspired by Al Athmay (2013); ‘Trust’ from Belanger & Carter, 2008; and ‘Transparency’ from Bhatnagar (2003). Methodology: A random survey was conducted across all districts and among e-government users only. Structured questionnaires were filled by 157 citizens mainly on a face to face basis. Pearson’s correlation coefficients, independent samples T-tests, one way/Welch ANOVA and Games-Howell post hoc tests were used. Main Findings: The respondents revealed positive attitudes towards PEOU and PU but unveiled negative attitudes towards the remaining four dimensions of e-governance. Citizens’ perceptions were only influenced by age, education, and frequency of e-government use. Lack of trust, absence of online democratic dialog, inadequate e-consultation and non-transparent decision-making may eventually lower trust in the government. Implications/Applications: This study has generated key insights into the factors influencing citizens’ perceptions towards the six e-governance dimensions (PEOU, PU, Collaboration, Trust, Participation, and Transparency) and these insights were non-existence prior to this research. Thus this study may aid policymakers to rethink and redesign their e-government initiatives to sustain existing users and attract more users of government websites.

Purpose: The recent decades were witnessed such a rapid rise in wellbeing researches on the field of psychology. Social psychology intervention (SPI) has a strong impact on individual mental health and remarkable achievement in education domain. In this context, subject development within the last years could be illustrated through a bibliometric approach. This research aimed to analyze the scientific productivity while considering global trends of psychological intervention.
Methodology: Web of Science Core Collection databases were selected in the period from 1990 to mid-2018. By thoroughly scrutinizing the objects which came to this attention, the trend of documents, publication date, geographic contribution to the field, relevant authorship and most cited articles, as well as frequent keywords from more than thousand references, were investigated.
Main Findings: The results clearly indicate that the United States of America dedicates itself with the highest level of attention in the area of social psychology intervention. Whereas, lower attention was focused on the research criteria in Asian continent, except China. Although the majority of the studies on SPI approach is from USA, but performed analysis highlight the vast research potential to validate without any specific considerations to certain region settings or cultures.
Implications/Applications: Despite advantages of SPI, the majority of the existed researches has been carried out predominantly in United States. Whereas, from defining the unit of analysis, the hypothesis might worthily be studied by practitioners to generalize the issue over various frameworks.
