We combine guanxi in Chinese societies, power, influence tactics, and locus of control in the research model, 147 family business in Taiwan are proceeded the questionnaire survey, and 332 valid copies are retrieved. With hierarchical regression analysis, the findings show the close relations between managers’ power, perceived guanxi and leadership behavior, in which managers’ locus of control play a critical role.

Mediante análisis jerárquicos de regresión los resultados muestran la estrecha relación que se da entre el poder de los jefes, el “guanxi” percibido y la conducta de liderazgo, en la que el locusde control de los jefes desempeña un papel destacado. Por eso se recomienda que la designación de jefes en esas empresas sea más cuidadosa. Además de la comunicación con los subordinados, debe prestarse atención a la adecuación entre personalidad y la competencia para mantener una eficiencia laboral y unas relaciones entre jefes y subordinados favorables
Persistent surgical wound bleeding: A rare condition related to acquired hemophilia A
SummaryAcquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare condition that predisposes affected patients to a bleeding tendency, even after a trivial physical insult. We present our experience with a 45-year-old male patient who was referred to our institute because of persistent bleeding from a left forearm surgical wound after fasciotomy. He was diagnosed as having AHA. Surgical treatment in combination with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) led to a satisfactory result. Clinical awareness and multidisciplinary professional connections are necessary in the treatment of AHA. Acquired hemophilia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with uncontrolled bleeding episodes

Exploring correlations among tourism characteristics, visitor behavior intention, and customer satisfaction
In the process of getting into the 21st century, Taiwan left behind the agriculture-based economic system and changed it for high-density and elaboration industries. With progressing societies and economic development, tourism, leisure and recreational industries have boomed. Moreover, the implementation of two-day weekend policy has increased the leisure time and the frequency of tourism and recreation activities. The correlations between Tourism Characteristics, Visitor Behavior Intention, and Customer Satisfaction are therefore discussed in this study. Focussing on Xitou Nature Education Area, the customers were distributed 250 copies of questionnaires. A total of 182 valid copies were retrieved, with the retrieval rate of 73%. The research results show significant correlations between 1. Tourism Characteristics and Customer Satisfaction, 2. Customer Satisfaction and Behavior Intention, and 3. Tourism Characteristics and Behavior Intention. The research results are expected to provide assistance and suggestions for tourism industries developing industrial characteristics
Identifying the relationships among Guanxi, political climate and power bases: evidence from Taiwan
Although Guanxi, political climate, and power are common business practices in the workplace, the popularity in research has yet to be intensified. This study aims to explore the effects of Guanxi, political climate, and power bases and the moderating effects of political climate. Questionnaires were issued to workers across service and manufacturing industries and 1099 valid responses were collected. The results from hierarchical regression analyses indicated significant relationships between Guanxi and power bases in various patterns. Significant relationships also emerged between political climate and power bases. Partial mediating effects of political climate were found between the relationships of Guanxi and power bases.

Effects of computer integrated instruction on learning satisfaction: take the University of Tourism's student as an example
Higher Education Teachers are identified in both educational reform and instructional theory with being able to apply Computer Integrated Instruction to the teaching approach for more diverse changes correspondent with the demand in the era. In empirical research, innovative Computer Integrated Instruction is also proved to be able to enhance teachers' learning and teaching effectiveness and students' learning outcome. Research issues on teachers' Computer Integrated Instruction should be based on understanding that it could enhance Learning Satisfaction.

Switching Intention and Behaviors to Wetland Ecotourism after the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Perspective of Push-Pull-Mooring Model
This study used a push–pull–mooring model (PPM model) to build an integrated model to explain the influencing factors of tourists’ switching intention to wetland ecotourism after the COVID-19 pandemic. The push effect is crowding perception, the pull effect is nature-based destination attractiveness, and the mooring effect is the risk perception of COVID-19. The study collected 551 valid research samples by questionnaire survey in two world-class wetlands in Taiwan. The results of the regression analysis showed that push, pull, and mooring influenced tourists’ switching intention to wetland ecotourism. Among them, the mooring effect regulated the relationship between the push effect and switching intention to wetland ecotourism, but did not regulate the relationship between the pull effect and switching intention to wetland ecotourism. Finally, the switching intention to wetland ecotourism further influenced wetland ecotourism behaviors. It is expected that people can go outdoors after the COVID-19 pandemic and bring substantial economic benefits of tourism to wetland ecological attractions in Taiwan
