Declarations
:
: According to the “Ethical Review of Biomedical Research Involving Human Beings”, (), China, business research and management are not part of life science and medical research activities involving human beings and only require clear and explicit informed consent prior to data collection. No formal ethics approval was therefore required in this particular case because (a) the data are completely anonymous with no personal information being collected; (b) the data are not considered to be sensitive or confidential in nature; (c) the issues being researched are not likely to upset or disturb participants; (d) vulnerable or dependent groups are not included; and (e) there is no risk of possible disclosures or reporting obligations. This study has been performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent for participation was obtained from respondents who participated in the survey. For the respondents who participated in the survey were asked to read the ethical statement posted at the top of the form and proceed only if they agree. No data was collected from anyone under 18 years old.
: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
