Occupying the crease: an exploration of youth cricket in New Zealand

Recruiting and retaining participants is a challenge that most sport administrators face. The present study examined motives for participation/discontinuation in cricket, propensity to play in the future, and the influence that various initiatives had on youths' propensities to play. A nationwide survey of 858 young New Zealand cricketers revealed six underlying motives for participating in cricket: team, competition, mastery, extrinsic rewards, fitness and being active, with the first three of these being the strongest predictors of propensity to play. Together the six motives explained 17% of the variance in propensity to play. None of the initiatives tested increased the likelihood of playing cricket for those who were currently involved. For those who had stopped playing, their reasons for ceasing were most likely to be the lure of other sports or activities. Nonetheless, initiatives that increased their chances of participating in cricket again were playing in a social competition, having better equipment, having less costly equipment, and being provided with the opportunity to meet top players. These findings have important implications for cricket administrators in terms of the management and promotion of youth cricket in New Zealand.

Trust in B2C e-commerce for the New Zealand Maori

This study was performed to allow an understanding of some of the elements of trust that are apparent to encourage the Mäori Internet shopper to feel comfortable to shop online. Mäori arrived in New Zealand from the Pacific over 1,000 years ago. Since then, New Zealand was colonised by Europeans in the 19th century. As a result, the Mäori have become a minority (Belich, 1996). That is, their culture, language and values have become secondary to those of the dominant European culture (Liu, Wilson, McClure & Higgins, 1999). Mäori have been defined as including “all those who identify themselves as belonging to the New Zealand Mäori ethnic group, either alone or in combination with any other ethnic group” (Statistics New Zealand, 1998, p. 94).

The repatriation experience of the Chinese spouse in New Zealand

This study examines the adjustment process and the adaptability of the Chinese migrant spouses’ in Auckland, New Zealand. A total of 97 spouses participated in a survey from a random sample of 200. The results suggest that both anticipatory and in-country experiences are relevant to adjustment. The results of the study, specifically suggest that the adjustment process experienced by the Chinese spouses in the New Zealand environment is based on a number of factors such as (1) the amount of information and knowledge of New Zealand they have prior to arrival in New Zealand, (2) the backgrounds of the spouses, (3) their experiences prior to and on arrival in New Zealand, and (4) their ability to cope in the new environment.
