The Influence of the League on Team Fans
No full textSport leagues influence their affiliated teams through management and marketing. Leagues and teams are structurally connected because the league provides the competition framework and the teams provide the league product. This structural connection underpins their brand relationship, which is reflected in their brand architecture, with the league representing the master brand and the teams representing subbrands that are visibly connected to their master brand. This visible connection represents the brand relationship between a league and its affiliated teams as perceived by consumers. Thus, it is proposed that consumers’ evaluation of a league influence their evaluation of a team competing within this league.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith Business SchoolGriffith Business SchoolFull Tex
The Influence of Core Chinese Cultural Values on Customer Loyalty
No full textThis thesis focuses on exploring Chinese outbound tourists' dining experiences in an
overseas full-service restaurant context. An overseas country refers to a country
outside mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. The research problem
sought to determine how core Chinese cultural values influence Chinese diners'
service evaluations and customer loyalty in this context. Customer loyalty is evaluated
from an attitudinal perspective, in relation to two groups of antecedents: core Chinese
cultural values and service evaluations. Core cultural values are defined as the
principles or standards that define the essence of a culture. Core Chinese cultural
values within the current research context include face, trustworthiness and harmony.
Service evaluation antecedents include customer satisfaction, service quality, and
service value.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith Business SchoolGriffith Business SchoolFull Tex

Neoconservatism and American Foreign Policy: A Critical Analysis
No full textThis thesis critically engages the dominant ideas, beliefs and strategic thought of neoconservative foreign policy intellectuals. Mush has been made in the dominant studies on neoconservatism of the ideological conversion neoconservatives underwent throughout the twentieth century. Understanding this conversion is certainly important if one is to develop an appreciation of neoconservatism's history. Yet this thesis argues that neoconservatism is best understood by critically engaging with a body of ideas and beliefs which should define the neoconservative approach to American foreign policy.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith Business SchoolGriffith Business SchoolFull Tex
Contemporary and Historical Influences on the Taxonomy and Distributions of Cherax Species in South Eastern Quensland, Australia
No full textFreshwater crayfish are a highly diverse group of decapod crustaceans that are distributed across all but the Indian and Antarctic continents. Their broad distribution suggests a strong ability to disperse and adapt to a wide range of habitats and environmental niches. In particular, freshwater crayfish have been discovered in caves, burrows, streams, lakes and sometimes even terrestrial habitats. This dispersed distribution across a range of habitats is particularly evident for the genus Cherax, with at least 47 species identified from throughout Australia. With some species highly diverse and others widely distributed, it is unclear what effect geographic, behavioural and ecological isolation has had on the current biogeographic structure of Australian Cherax. By investigating variation across a nested series of scales, the primary aim of this study was to distinguish the historical and contemporary drivers that may have caused and maintained the high level of biodiversity observed in Australian and more specifically South-East Queensland (SEQ) Cherax.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith School of EnvironmentScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
Population Connectivity of Two Australian Freshwater Fishes in a Large Tropical Dendritic River Network
No full textFreshwater fishes are often characterized by extensive population genetic subdivision and low genetic diversity and are ideal subjects for investigating contemporary patterns of dispersal and subsequent gene flow. In lotic systems, different riverine architecture, variable hydrology and species biology influence genetic diversity and population structure in resident species. Stream-dwelling species often display greater levels of gene flow within drainages or catchments or sub-catchments than between them due to complexity of stream order and the isolating nature of these systems by land or sea. However, the relative importance of these attributes in driving population structure at spatial scales remains poorly understood for many freshwater species. Study on the effects of riverscape in shaping population structure is very important to identify management or conservation units and to undertake habitat restoration measures. The Daly River is one of the largest river networks in the wet-dry tropics of Northern Australia and shows variability in hydrology. This river has a complex arrangement of habitats and heterogeneous landscape features (e.g. slope, elevation) across the catchment area. There are also instream physical barriers like waterfalls, cliffs, road crossings etc. that may hinder dispersal and subsequent gene flow.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith School of EnvironmentScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
Rise up Suns: A Longitudinal Study of Sport Fan Development
No full textSport fans are key stakeholders for professional sport teams. Fans contribute both indirectly and directly to revenue streams and thus help teams to remain sustainable. However, the sport marketplace is an increasingly competitive landscape where a growing number of teams compete to attract, retain and develop fans. Such competition necessitates research that better outlines how and why individuals become team fans. Building on this opportunity, the current research investigates how the process of team identification can be used to understand fan development. Overall, this research contributes to existing theory by detailing the factors and processes that underpin fan development.
The Psychological Continuum Model (PCM) was used as the theoretical framework to guide this research. The PCM provides a developmental framework that can be used to understand the progression of psychological connections with sport objects. Specifically, the PCM conceptualises how an individual may move from simply being aware of a team through three additional stages of team connection, culminating in team allegiance. The current research advances the PCM as a fan development framework by incorporating social identity theory into the model. In doing so, team
identification was identified as a construct that can be used to examine the processes that lead to fan development. To better understand the processes that explain fan development, three studies were conducted. These studies gathered both quantitative (Study 1) and qualitative (Study 2 and Study 3) data, providing the researcher with cross-sectional and longitudinal data relevant to the investigation. All data were collected from fans of a new professional sport team located in Australia.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith Business SchoolGriffith Business SchoolFull Tex
Investigating the Genetic Basis of Plumage Variation in the Australian Magpie, Cracticus tibicen
No full textMany species exhibit some form of colour variation between groups or individuals, and studies of such colour variation, its genetic basis and functional importance can contribute unique insights into the evolutionary, ecological, demographic and genetic processes affecting the diversity of life. Through the examination of the genetics underlying colour traits, the relative importance of different selective and demographic processes in the evolution and maintenance of a trait can be inferred, enabling scientists to gain a better understanding of what drives evolutionary change in different organisms and environments. Such studies also assist in bridging the gaps in our knowledge about the interactions between genetics and ecology that are involved in phenotypic variation. Understanding the pathways linking genetic and regulatory changes to phenotypic change and evolutionary change through time contributes to our
knowledge about how species develop and evolve.
The Australian magpie (Cracticus tibicen), is a group-living and territorial passerine bird with a characteristic pied appearance of strongly contrasting patches of black and white plumage. The species has several different plumage forms, delineated by the colour and/or pattern of back feathers; these plumage forms hybridise where their distributions overlap. Distributions of plumage forms are highly discordant with patterns of phylogeographic structure found in this species, making a scenario of allopatric
divergence followed by secondary recontact at hybrid zones highly unlikely.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith School of EnvironmentScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
Technological Performance Assessment Innovation for Elite-Level Snowboarding
No full textThis thesis focuses on the introduction of sport science and engineering techniques for
performance assessment in competitive half-pipe snowboarding. Performance data was
collected over three winter seasons from 2006 to 2008 including a Winter Olympic
Games and was used to establish objective key performance indicators (KPI’s) that
account for a large percentage of the variance in subjectively judged competition
scores. These findings were then applied to customise wearable sensor technology to
develop an automated performance feedback system suitable for everyday use. This
system was subsequently used to run the first electronically judged half-pipe snowboard
competition in the world. Furthermore, the impact of sport science and new technology
on the sport of snowboarding was assessed, allowing the snowboarding community to
articulate their interests in forums that convey influence. This thesis establishes that it is
no longer a question of whether the theoretical framework or technological innovation
is there to automatically provide objective, performance-based information for halfpipe
snowboarding but rather if and how coaches, athletes and competition judges plan
to utilise such capabilities. In addition, this thesis recommends that any further
development and integration of such concepts be conducted in close association with
core community members and be ultimately controlled from within the sport.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith School of EngineeringScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
