Antecedents and consequences on employee turnover intention in the hospitality industry in Lebanon by Baajour, Maya

“…H1 (There is an indirect relationship between PAT and Turnover) showed a significant result that when training is available employees’ intention to leave decreases. As for H2 (AC mediates the relationship between PAT and Turnover) it was supported as AC highly mediated the relationship between these two variables; it showed then when training is available, employees tend to be more committed to their organization and their intention to leave decreased. …”

Hedonic valuation of land protection methods: implications for cluster development. by Kling, Robert

“…The key findings of the study are: (i) proximity to national or state park land and to city or county open space has a significant positive impact on property values, while proximity to national forest land or to privately conserved land exhibits no significant effects; and, (ii) inclusion of a property within a cluster development decreases its value by 17 to 26 %. These findings are robust to different estimation techniques and model specifications, which suggests important considerations for policymakers who design development rules and alternative land protection measures aimed at preserving open space in non-urban areas.…”
