What are the factors that predict international students' destination-loyalty intention? This is the main question this paper addresses, using an online survey among 396 (short-term, N = 182) and (long-term, N = 214) international students at a Norwegian university. Structural equation model-AMOS was conducted to examine relationships among personal values, subjective well-being and destination-loyalty intentions. The results showed that: (1) universalism was positively related to subjective well-being for short-term students; and (2) subjective well-being was positively related to destination-loyalty intention for all groups. We found that relatively stable and happy individuals might be important for ensuring destination-loyalty intentions. Results also indicated that personal values that emphasize justice and equity are also important for short-term international students' well-being.
预测国际学生目的地忠诚度意图的因素有哪些？这是本文要解决的主要问题，为此我们对挪威一所大学的396名国际学生（短期，N = 182；长期，N = 214）进行了在线调查。采用结构方程模型-AMOS来检验个人价值观、主观幸福感和目的地忠诚度意图之间的关系。结果表明：（1）对于短期学生而言，普遍主义与主观幸福感呈正相关；（2）对于所有群体，主观幸福感与目的地忠诚度意图呈正相关。我们发现相对稳定且快乐的个体对于确保目的地忠诚度意图可能很重要。结果还表明，强调正义和平等的个人价值观对短期国际学生的幸福感也很重要。
