Students make choices about academic majors based on a limited number of factors and with little apparent consideration of what may be meaningful or purposeful to them. This study examines the perceptions of college students across disciplines regarding their choice of majors and future work. Of particular interest is the manner in which college students' perceptions may vary as a consequence of their areas of study. Results suggest that there are distinct differences across disciplines with regard to those factors that influence students and their perceptions of future work.

Abstract Stakeholder theory was utilized in this empirical study of resident attitudes toward tourism. Full time and part time residents differed in terms of their perceptions of what was at stake with regard to living in a popular tourist destination. Four stakeholder groups were identified with members identifying three types of stakes: equity, economic, and influencer.

This study examines cheating behaviors among 742 marketing and management majors at three public AACSB-accredited business schools. Specifically, we studied the simultaneous influence of demographic and attitudinal characteristics on: (1) reported prior cheating behavior; (2) the tendency to neutralize cheating behaviors; and, (3) likelihood of future cheating. We additionally examined the impact of in-class deterrents on neutralization of cheating behaviors and the likelihood of future cheating. We also directly tested potential mediating effects of neutralization on cheating behavior.

This article aims to present a research history highlighting the role of residents within tourism systems. It has detailed demographic, economic, environmental, political and socio-cultural impacts on a resident population. It is argued that residents and their stakeholder groups are critical components in successful tourism systems. It is further argued that ongoing investigation of residents and stakeholder groups within diverse tourism environments is essential to our understanding of the complexity of tourism systems.
