    SEM Model to analyze the factors affecting university image: A study on International Islamic University Chittagong
    (CRP, Center for Research and Publication, 2021-12) Alam, Mohammad Manjur
    Private higher education institutions (PHEIs) have emerged as more competitive and stimulating day by day due to alternative accessibility and availability. University management ensures a global image to meet their stakeholders and social expectations. This study sets out to identify factors affecting university image by developing a structural equation model. A proposed model of overall university image formation through structural equation modeling, 310 respondents have been collected by using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation, confirmatory factor analyses, and structural equation modeling were run to evaluate factors affecting overall image in IIUC. Based on the findings, all factors measured in this study have a positive significant effect on the overall university image. This research also explored that non-academic and management image is the most important predictors from the IIUC context. The model explains the overall university image well (61% of the total variation). This study is important for future marketing and better strategic plan to meet the needs of IIUC stakeholders as well as other HEIs in Bangladesh.

    Determinants of age at first motherhood in Bangladesh
    (CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2016-12) Alam, Mohammad Manjur; Hoq, Mohammad Nazmul; Hossain, Mohammad Emdad
    Female‟s age at first motherhood is an important determinant of fertility process, which also indicates the status of female in a society. In this research, an attempt has been made to evaluate the female‟s age to give their first birth as well as its significant covariates by utilizing the data extracted from 2011 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS). Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model have been used to identify the association between age at first motherhood and selected background variables. The average age at first motherhood of this study is found to be only 17.92 years. Median age at first motherhood is close to the mean age at 17 years. The study shows that age at first cohabitation is significantly negatively correlated with the timing of first motherhood, while the age at first cohabitation is positively correlated with age at first motherhood. In bivariate analysis, all independent variables are strongly associated with age at first motherhood. The findings of multivariate analysis indicate that age at first cohabitation, spousal age difference, ever use of any method, respondents‟ current age, and respondents‟ education are found to be the significant covariates of age at first motherhood in Bangladesh.
