The results reveal that organizational identification partially mediated the relationship between distributive justice, interactive justice and work engagement, but did not mediate the relationship between procedure justice and work engagement. It is concluded with a discussion of research findings and implications for both marketing theory and practice.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114299281","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}

Yet researchers from different disciplines use the term \"e-services\" often in different contexts hence defining the term differently. This paper aims at defining e-services to illustrate more explicitly the features of e-services and the role of ICT in e-service systems, based on an analysis of existing definitions of e-services in literature. Our definition captures more real world e-services and illustrates more specific features of e-services. This paper then discusses those distinguished features of e-services compared with non-electronic services, especially on the implications of the features with respect to the discovery, design, delivery and improvement of e-services and e-services systems. We believe that our definition of e-services contributes to a better understanding of e-services, and provides a basis for e-services and e-service systems development.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122911640","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 study model, underpinned by Self-Determination Theory, explores how such an intervention can enhance consumer psychological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness in the energy saving context. This would be highly beneficial to energy providers, such as our industry partner, for two reasons. First, satisfaction of these psychological needs drives intrinsic motivation to perform the behaviour and, subsequently, the performance of the desired behaviour and further that such behaviour is more likely to be sustained over time compared with extrinsically motivated behaviours. Second, this approach, if supported, represents a relatively low-cost communication approach compared to both traditional media at one extreme and one-to-one interventions at the other. The study involves an online field experiment across four time periods.

Bayesian methods are used to estimate the parameters and we find that factors such as store advertising and product's historical sales positively influence both visits and sales. However, price, the number of items offered in store, and store reputation exert differential impacts on visits and sales, and the results on the impact of guarantees and consumer evaluations are mixed.

This paper firstly points out deficiencies of current E-government, and explains definition, key benefits and architecture of government cloud. Based on these theories, this paper then puts forward deployment models, service models and selection strategies.

Based on the three kinds of imitation, this paper explores the imitation behavior of internationalization from the uncertainty of external environment, the uncertainty of the result of specific behavior and the uncertainty of resource selection.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131215090","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}

To provide higher quality services, innovative strategies in clustering services are critical to service providers. Varied factors have to be considered before service agents interact with customers. Therefore, this study purpose is to help service providers find innovative clustering service strategies by conducting qualitative research methods. In cooperation with a case company in Taiwan, a systematically randomized method is adopted to obtain marketing data of the smarphone users' basic information in between 2010 and the latter half of 2011. In total, 23 recordings of interviews obtained between agents and users (averaging 8.03 minutes each) are transcribed and then analyzed by using Nvivo 9.0. As a result, this study finds four fundamental elements that demanded special attention from 377 notable points in all service processes. Finally, an innovative clustering service strategy, TEACHER, is obtained after incorporating analysis results of service content details which are pertaining to a three-phase service (i.e., activation, delivering, termination). Detailed descriptions about the application of this innovative strategy are provided.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122420845","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}

At the stage of development, customers play the role of co-developer and have the negative impact on the innovation speed. At the stage of market text and commercialization, customers play the role of information provider and have no significant impact on the innovativeness and the innovation speed, at the same stage, customers also play the role of user and have the positive impact on the innovation speed.
