Student Behavior Intention: An Analysis of Culture, Lecturer Performance, and Academic Services Quality
This study aims to determine the influence of student's culture, lecturer's performance, and academic service quality based on student perception on behavior intention of Musi Charitas Catholic University students (UKMC). The analysis used path analysis with the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that cultural variables, lecturer performance, and academic service quality from student perceptions influenced the intention of UKMC students to behave. The results of this study provide information related to student culture, academic services that students want, and the ability of lecturers from the student's point of view as well as how these variables affect their intention to behave. This information can provide a gap for UKMC to be able to make improvements in some aspects that are still felt less than customer needs perceptions. Customer needs fulfillment is ultimately expected to shape the positive behavior of UKMC students.
In 1899 Thorstein Veblen wrote a seminal monograph on the subject of consumption and leisure. ::: His work, The Theory of the Leisure Class, is one of the most enduring examples of status-seeking ::: individuals� conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure practices, particularly when applied ::: to the tourist industry, and furthermore, is still relevant in today�s economic climate. This article ::: develops an independent theory of backpackers and how they can be perceived as undertaking ::: conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure practices. This is done using Veblen�s work as ::: a foundation. Qualitative methods using in-depth interviews and participant observation techniques ::: are employed to obtain data from 41 participants. The findings serve to highlight the fact that ::: Veblen�s thesis is as relevant today as it was when it was written in 1899.
