Design/meth...Purpose: The study intends to examine the factors influencing the behavioral intention to use academic libraries’ mobile systems from the perspective of current users and potential adopters, respectively. Design/methodology/approach: Our study investigates the mobile library system’s acceptance by using a context-specific extension of the theory of reasoned action(TRA) and the technology acceptance model(TAM), which includes such factors as mobile self-efficacy, personal innovativeness and perceived playfulness. Structural equation modeling was used to test the validity of the proposed model based on the empirical data which was collected from 210 questionnaire survey participants.Findings: The result shows that 1) for both current users and potential adopters, attitude toward use and subjective norm both have a significant and positive impact on behavioral intention to use; 2) perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are significantly correlated to potential adopters’ attitude toward use whereas perceived usefulness and perceived playfulness are significantly related to current users’ attitude toward use; 3) as for the comparison between the two groups of users, personal innovativeness not only affects perceived usefulness of both current users and potential adopters, but also affects potential adopters’ perceived playfulness positively. Mobile self-efficacy has a significant effect on perceived ease of use for both types of users.Research limitations: Although the sample size met the basic statistics requirements for the social research, the participants were mainly college students, and other mobile system users like faculty members and researchers were not investigated. In addition, some influencing factors, such as information quality, system quality and service quality were not considered in the research model.Practical implications: This study reveals main factors which influence both current users and potential adopters’ intention to use the mobile system, providing academic libraries withinsights into management strategies to offer customized mobile services to different types of users. Originality/value: Previous studies did not distinguish current users from potential adopters, which is not conducive for academic libraries to provide customized services and attract potential users. We presented an exploratory study to address this issue.展开更多

We conducted an empirical analysis by structural equation modeling based on survey data obtained with a questionnaire.Findings： Among the adoption factors we identified, network externality has the salient influence on a user＇s adoption intention, followed by perceived usefulness, individual innovation, perceived trust, perceived ease of use, and subjective norms. Cloud storage characteristics are the most important indirect factors, followed by awareness to personal cloud storage and perceived risk. However, although perceived risk is regarded as an important factor by other cloud computing researchers, we found that it has no significant influence. Also, subjective norms have no significant influence on perceived usefulness. This indicates that users are rational when they choose whether to adopt personal cloud storage.Research limitations： This study ignores time and cost factors that might affect a user＇s intention to adopt personal cloud storage.Practical implications： Our findings might be helpful in designing and developing personal cloud storage products, and helpful to regulators crafting policies.Originality/value： This study is one of the first research efforts that discuss Chinese users＇ personal cloud storage adoption, which should help to further the understanding of personal cloud adoption behavior among Chinese users.展开更多

To address the environmental problems of WHEA, many countries have enacted legislation according to WHEA management, including collecting, processing and recycling. The regulations on the management of WHEA were also drafted in China and pilot programs of WHEA recycling management encountered difficulties in collecting WHEA. The success of a recycling scheme is dependent on people＇s willingness of participating in the scheme, This paper applies Ajzen＇s theory of planned behavior to seek the main factors to engourage consumers to participate in WHEA recycling management in China. Data from a survey conducted with a sample of 633 consumers show that service motivation is the first predictor of participation behavior intention, followed by environmental behavior attitude, economic motivation, subjective norm. and perceived behavior barrier. Environmental knowledge is found not to be the predictor of behavior intention in this recycling scheme. Study results also suggest that publicity is the key situational factor in the WHEA recycling management. Recycling network and policy have little influence on changing consumers＇ current behavior intention and participation. Implications of the findings are discussed and future research directions are suggested in the end.展开更多

文摘WEEE(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment),also called e-waste,has become the world’s fastest-growing waste stream but only has a 17.4%recycling rate according to the Global E-waste Monitor 2020.The collection rate for sWEEE(Small WEEE),e.g.,used mobile phones,is even lower than 10%due to stockpiling at home and improper disposal via the general waste or private informal channels.The purpose of this paper was to(a)review how the TPB(Theory of Planned Behavior)was applied in the literature related to consumer behavioral intention for WEEE recycling and determine the most significant TPB predictors by comparing their standardized influence coefficients across various studies,and(b)identify additional behavior determinants specific to sWEEE recycling and thus develop a new TPB-sWEEE theoretical framework by integrating the TPB model with these new determinants in order to improve the predictability of consumers’sWEEE recycling behavioral intention.This paper reviewed over 30 peer-reviewed studies from Scopus and high impact factor journals and led to the following three key findings:(a)More variables of recycling behavioral intention determinants such as the size of WEEE need to be considered;(b)Eight sWEEE-specific behavioral determinants have been identified and included in the newly developed TPB-sWEEE model,including consumers’Sentimental Attachment,Data Security Concern,Economic Incentives,and How-to Knowledge;(c)For some sWEEE-specific determinants,their extent of influence differs across various regions and countries.This paper contributes to the sWEEE-specific consumer recycling behavior theoretical framework to fill the existing gap in the literature and provides recommendations through the new model for research-based behavioral intervention strategies and policy designs globally.
文摘Vaccination is crucial in controlling the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)that triggered the pandemic,but herd immunity can only work with high vaccination coverage in the population.This study aims to measure the COVID-19 knowledge level and determine the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination intention among university students in Malaysia.A cross-sectional online survey was carried out with 1,274 Malaysian university students in July 2021.Univariate and multivariate analyses were employed to examine the relationships between the study variables.Results showed that the majority of university students had an acceptable level of knowledge of COVID-19.The knowledge,risk perception of COVID-19,social norms,and perceived benefit of COVID-19 vaccination were positively associated with vaccination intention.However,perceived trust in information sources of COVID-19 vaccination and the government's response to COVID-19 did not affect the university students’desire to receive the vaccination.These findings are essential for health policymakers and healthcare providers to implement evidence-based interventions to increase COVID-19 vaccination uptake among university students.

文摘Purpose： In order to explain and predict the adoption of personal cloud storage, this study explores the critical factors involved in the adoption of personal cloud storage and empirically validates their relationships to a user＇s intentions.Design/methodology/approach： Based on technology acceptance model（TAM）, network externality, trust, and an interview survey, this study proposes a personal cloud storage adoption model. We conducted an empirical analysis by structural equation modeling based on survey data obtained with a questionnaire.Findings： Among the adoption factors we identified, network externality has the salient influence on a user＇s adoption intention, followed by perceived usefulness, individual innovation, perceived trust, perceived ease of use, and subjective norms. Cloud storage characteristics are the most important indirect factors, followed by awareness to personal cloud storage and perceived risk. However, although perceived risk is regarded as an important factor by other cloud computing researchers, we found that it has no significant influence. Also, subjective norms have no significant influence on perceived usefulness. This indicates that users are rational when they choose whether to adopt personal cloud storage.Research limitations： This study ignores time and cost factors that might affect a user＇s intention to adopt personal cloud storage.Practical implications： Our findings might be helpful in designing and developing personal cloud storage products, and helpful to regulators crafting policies.Originality/value： This study is one of the first research efforts that discuss Chinese users＇ personal cloud storage adoption, which should help to further the understanding of personal cloud adoption behavior among Chinese users.

文摘In the recent Smart Home(SH)research work,intelligent service recommendation technique based on behavior recognition,it has been extensively preferred by researchers.However,most current research uses the Semantic recognition to construct the user’s basic behavior model.This method is usually restricted by environmental factors,the way these models are built makes it impossible for them to dynamically match the services that might be provided in the user environment.To solve this problem,this paper proposes a Semantic behavior assistance(Semantic behavior assistance,SBA).By joining the semantic model on the intelligent gateway,building an SA model,in this way,a logical Internet networks for smart home is established.At the same time,a behavior assistant method based on SBA model is proposed,among them,the user environment-related entities,sensors,devices,and user-related knowledge models exist in the logical interconnection network of the SH system through the semantic model.In this paper,the data simulation experiment is carried out on the method.The experimental results show that the SBA model is better than the knowledge-based pre-defined model.
文摘Based on the technology acceptance model （TAM） as the foundation, according to the function of mobile phone reading, the hardware design characteristics, software design characteristics, perceived entertainment, perceived risk and perceived price, adding them to the user behavior model, and modify the TAM model. By self-designed questionnaire, taking college students for social mobile phone reading using behavior survey, using SPSS19.0, AMOS21.0 to validate modified TAM model. The empirical results show that hardware design characteristics, software design characteristics, perceived ease of use have significant positive influence on user behavior, while perceived entertainment, perceived risk, have no significant influence on user behavior, behavior Intention has positive influence on user actual behavior.
文摘The innovation of technologzv and the improvement of people＇s living standard accelerate the replacement of consumer electronic appliances, resulting in a significant increase of waste household electronic appliances （WHEA）. To address the environmental problems of WHEA, many countries have enacted legislation according to WHEA management, including collecting, processing and recycling. The regulations on the management of WHEA were also drafted in China and pilot programs of WHEA recycling management encountered difficulties in collecting WHEA. The success of a recycling scheme is dependent on people＇s willingness of participating in the scheme, This paper applies Ajzen＇s theory of planned behavior to seek the main factors to engourage consumers to participate in WHEA recycling management in China. Data from a survey conducted with a sample of 633 consumers show that service motivation is the first predictor of participation behavior intention, followed by environmental behavior attitude, economic motivation, subjective norm. and perceived behavior barrier. Environmental knowledge is found not to be the predictor of behavior intention in this recycling scheme. Study results also suggest that publicity is the key situational factor in the WHEA recycling management. Recycling network and policy have little influence on changing consumers＇ current behavior intention and participation. Implications of the findings are discussed and future research directions are suggested in the end.
文摘This study evaluates the mediation role of taxpayer egoism in the nexus between tax evasion intention(TEI)and its determinants.TEI is measured as a composite variable(for mediation in the PROCESS macro)and then as a latent variable(for mediation in Analysis of Moment Structure Software AMOS).Further,the stringent assumptions of mediation analysis by Baron and Kenny(Strategic,and Statistical Considerations 51:1173-1182,1986)are challenged via assertions by Hayes(Introduction to Mediation,Moderation and Conditional Process Analysis:A Regression-Based Approach,The Guilford Press,2018).The proxies for TEI are the respondents'ethical attitudes toward taxation Determinants of tax evasion intention are grouped into perceived behavioral control attitude and subjective norms as per theory of planned behavior(TPB)and extant literature.The detailed variables adopted from the literature include tax awareness,tax information,tax complexity,perceived power of authority,tax morals,tax fairness,and trust in government.A totalof 151 responses were collected Mediation analysis was done via bootstrapping in the PROCESS macro and through AMOS.A plethora of studies focus on determinants of tax evasion,tax compliance and their intentions However,none combine analysis via the two tools highlighted.Further,few challenge the old way of conducting mediation analysis The data provide statistical support for egoism's mediation in the effect of four determinants on tax evasion intention.It further confirms that many of the old preconditions for mediation are unnecessary given modern-day bootstrapping analysis.Insight into determinants of TEI and egoism have been provided However,this study uses cross-sectional data Future studies must use longitudinal data or experimental manipulation to infer more specific effects.
