Yet, the adoption of PETs remains low and user-focused research on adoption predictors is limited. In this work, we use the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) to study the adoption of five categories of personal PETs: private browsing, privacy-focused web browsers, privacy browser extensions, secure (encrypted) messaging, and secure (encrypted) email. Our results confirmed the significant role of social influence and habit as predictors of adoption of PETs but also showed that the adoption of these five categories of PETs was not driven by the same set of factors. These differences call for more contextualized research to study the adoption of PETs and raise the potential issue of the limits of the generalizability of UTAUT2. The discovery of the lack of support for such an established theory also creates the potential for breaking new ground through the development of new theories of adoption that are better suited to the emerging world of technologies including PETs.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"133 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144130216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital world safely, wisely and securely becomes critical when digital literacy and access to technologies are limited and livelihood possibilities are precarious such as in the context of vulnerable migrants. We use the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) framework in its operationalised version called AREA Plus as a lens to reflect on our research-practice in relation to two projects in sensitive contexts that were designed with vulnerable groups to co-create digital interventions aimed at improving their lives. In so doing, we introduce a new ‘sustainability’ dimension to AREA Plus to develop what we term the AREAS framework. We contribute to knowledge by using the AREA Plus framework in the context of Africa, South East Asia and South America migration and by further enhancing it; to methodology by highlighting the procedures followed when working with vulnerable groups; and to practice through the promotion of responsible digital practices.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"245 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, this study draws on the virtual team climate and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). However, it also adds pluralistic ignorance (which stems from social cognitive bias arising from universal behavioural adherence to social norms) as a key inhibitor to explore factors affecting the quantity and quality of knowledge-sharing behaviour through knowledge management systems (KMS) in virtual teams. A field survey of 528 employees from 72 companies in Taiwan and working in virtual teams was analysed utilising partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the outcomes empirically. The findings show that the virtual team climate, perceived behavioural control, and subjective norm still positively affect knowledge-sharing behaviour. However, more surprisingly, the moderating effect of pluralistic ignorance dampens the positive relationships between (1) the intention to share knowledge and knowledge-sharing behaviour and (2) the virtual team climate and knowledge-sharing behaviour within virtual teams. Finally, in addition to the practical implications for managers of knowledge-intensive companies who are keen to adopt virtual teams, this study provides several theoretical and managerial implications for relevant managers and academic researchers.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, amid the ongoing deregulation and competition with private sectors, there are compulsions to leverage digital technologies for improving economic performance and customer satisfaction. In the above context, little is known about the role played by organizational capabilities in technology-led transformation of government. We employ SEM technique to validate our conceptual model that investigates the role of organizational capabilities on the degree of digitalization in the government organization and data for the same was collected from 196 government officials with relevant experience. The study found that effective digital strategy formulation increases employee digital capabilities and positively impacts digitalization in government. Vendor management capability is observed to mediate the relationship between digital strategy and digitalization in government while employee digital capability has an indirect impact through vendor management. Cultural and organizational barriers do not dampen the relationship between vendor management and digitalization in government. Our results integrate the dynamic capability framework with developments in digital transformation and technology sourcing literature.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143910665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the study examines how structural, cognitive, and relational social capital fosters cyber resilience and contributes to proactive value construction, enhancing SMEs’ AI readiness and enabling them to construct and sustain value while safeguarding against potential cyber threats. The study adopts a Covariance-based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) approach to analyse 589 valid responses. A multi-wave data strategy with an interval cross-lagged design was implemented to reduce the risk of common method bias. The findings reveal that structural and relational capital significantly drive AI readiness, while cognitive social capital enhances cyber resilience, which is pivotal in constructing and protecting organisational value. Moreover, cyber resilience mediates the relationship between cognitive social capital and AI readiness, and enabling value construction amid cyber-related disruptions. SMEs with robust social capital networks are better equipped to leverage AI technologies for innovation and growth, construct new value streams, and defend against cyber risks, securing value in dynamic digital environments. This study contributes to the growing discourse on cybersecurity and digital transformation by offering insights into how SMEs can bolster digital innovation and construct sustainable value in the face of mounting cyber risks.","PeriodicalId":13610,"journal":{"name":"Information Systems Frontiers","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
