While the <em>Diffusion of Innovations</em> (DOI) theory explains staged adoption processes, it underrepresents socio-political and institutional factors. The <em>Social Shaping of Technology</em> (SST) approach complements DOI by focusing on the co-construction of technology through cultural, organizational, and political dynamics. This study investigates how DOI and SST can be combined to explain the adoption and diffusion of digital health innovations, with a focus on telemedicine in the German healthcare system. Using the Decision Matrix for Theory Borrowing, DOI and SST were selected as complementary frameworks. A secondary analysis of 12 expert interviews was conducted using SST-based content analysis. Data were coded according to Rogers' five adoption stages and four SST dimensions. Findings were mapped in a DOI–SST matrix and analysed across micro-, <em>meso</em>-, and macro-levels. The analysis shows that innovation trajectories are shaped by interdependent socio-technical factors across all adoption stages. Key barriers include cultural skepticism, organizational inertia, fragmented governance, and economic misalignment. The <em>Socio-Technical Adoption and Diffusion Model for Healthcare</em> (STAD-HC) was developed to represent these dynamics, linking DOI's stage logic with SST's contextual dimensions. The STAD-HC model offers a multi-level framework to analyse how digital health technologies are adopted, contested, and institutionalized. By integrating behavioural processes with structural influences, it provides practical guidance for managing innovation and supports future research on complex digital health technologies such as AI and blockchain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study applies the Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) framework to investigate the relationships among Sustainability-Oriented Values (SOV), Carbon Label Awareness (CLA), Eco-Conscious Norms (ECN), and Sustainable Purchase Behavior (SPB), while also examining the moderating influence of Shopping Engagement Modes and Cognitive Processing Styles. A multi-group structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was conducted using a sample of 662 consumers, segmented into Online-Dominant Shoppers (<em>n</em> = 340) and Offline-Dominant Shoppers (<em>n</em> = 322), as well as Systematic Processors (<em>n</em> = 345) and Heuristic Processors (<em>n</em> = 317). The findings reveal differentiated decision-making patterns across these consumer groups. Online-focused consumers exhibited a greater reliance on CLA for immediate decisions, whereas offline consumers were more likely to follow a sequence involving both CLA and ECN, indicating the heightened role of social influence in physical shopping contexts. Systematic Processors demonstrated more deliberate integration of eco-labels and norms into their decisions, while Heuristic Processors were more influenced by surface-level label recognition. The study underscores that consumer responses to sustainability labels are not homogenous, and that both contextual and cognitive factors shape purchasing behavior. Strategic implications include enhancing digital label visibility for online shoppers and strengthening normative messaging in physical retail to encourage sustainable consumption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100158"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145527903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings highlight the value of digitization in raising production, exporting, creating jobs, and maintaining the sustainability of the surroundings in the agricultural industry.

The results reveal key challenges, which are related to mosque accessibility, communication, and engagement in decision-making. As a part of the proposed solution, the Mehrab system incorporates a dedicated social networking, smart locks, and smart key delegation. Mehrab was developed using an Agile methodology that involves potential users throughout the development process to ensure the inclusion of essential features aligned with the system’s objectives. Mehrab was tested by 400 participants who performed a set of tasks that covered the core functionalities and then answered questionnaires to evaluate application objectives achievement, usability, and technology acceptance. Statistical analysis revealed that participants’ evaluations of system objectives differed significantly from a neutral benchmark, indicating a positive perception. A system usability scale survey was used to assess usability, and we achieved an excellent result of 94.23, exceeding the threshold to pass the test. To assess technology acceptance, the technology acceptance model was integrated with institutional theory, offering a robust framework for understanding acceptance factors in religious settings. Regression analysis showed that perceived usefulness, attitude toward using technology, and behavioral intention were the strongest predictors of actual use which commonly interpreted as indicators of technology acceptance, while institutional factors, including normative and coercive pressures, also had significant influence. Moreover, sentiment analysis was employed to measure users’ opinion, which indicated that 94.5% of participants had positive opinions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 2","pages":"Article 100151"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145104449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
