Integrating the theoretical foundations of medical institution procurement and innovation diffusion, this study finds that different target customers have very different perceptions and acceptance of new technologies. The knowledge and attitude of medical personnel are the primary factor affecting new technology procurement, only then will decision-making factors such as financial, functional, and service aspects be further considered.","PeriodicalId":354119,"journal":{"name":"Int.

This paper examines how user perceptions and usage intentions toward social networking sites (SNS) are distorted by their level of addiction to the technology. To this end, a research model that incorporates the technology addiction construct and two system-referenced perceptions (trust and social influence) has been constructed and tested to explain the effects of addiction on augmenting one’s perceptions of SNS. Data were obtained from an online survey of 202 SNS users in Saudi Arabia. A Structural equation modelling technique was used to evaluate the proposed model. The findings confirmed that users’ level of SNS addiction influence their reasoned-based usage intentions by distorting users’ perceptions toward the technology. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":354119,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The promotional effort in the form of advertising plays a pivotal role in the diffusion of products among the social systems. It has been observed that demand of the products and moreover new products largely depends upon the different kinds of advertising effects. Also, it is experienced that demand of new products is highly dynamic. Therefore, to keep pace with the dynamic behavior of demand of new products it becomes important to make strategy over the level of advertising expenditure. The paper describes an inventory model for new products where demand of the products varies with time under the external influence of dynamic advertising effects. The objective of the paper is to develop an optimal schedule of the inventory model for effective supply chain. To encounter with the uncertain environment a fuzzy technique has also been used wherein few parameters have been taken as fuzzy variables.","PeriodicalId":354119,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

This study employed the most widely used and cited IT adoption model, The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology-2 (UTAUT2), as the theoretical framework to examine the passengers' adoption of the popular sharing economy tools ride-sharing service applications (i.e., Uber). This study adds a new construct, safety, in the UTAUT2 model. Data were obtained from 206 participants which were analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, and facilitating conditions are the most significant determinant factors of behavioral intention to use the Uber app. In contrast, behavioral intention to use the Uber app is not significantly influenced by price value and safety. Additionally, the theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed, which elicits the importance for business managers, marketers, and policymakers on sharing economy platforms.","PeriodicalId":354119,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The authors performed structural equation model analysis with SmartPLS on a sample of 458 responses collected from Vietnamese consumers. They found that CPEOR has a significant positive effect on reputation, satisfaction, and trust. As expected, trust and satisfaction directly predict repurchase intention; however, reputation does not directly follow this pattern. Instead, two prosocial constructs, namely trust and satisfaction, channel the effect of reputation on repurchase intention. Contrary to the conventional understanding that a favourable reputation will predict higher consumer trust, they found a negative correlation between these two factors. The managerial and theoretical contributions of the research and direction for future research are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":354119,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

This study examines the effects of ICT adoption and HR quality on public sector performance on one hand and the mediating effects of HR quality on the linkage between ICT adoption and public sector performance on the other using archival sources of data for 140 countries and a conceptual model based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. The data analysis using partial least squares-structural equation modeling shows that ICT adoption influences HR quality but not public sector performance directly. However, HR quality was found to positively influence public sector performance. Furthermore, HR quality was found to significantly moderate the relationship between ICT adoption and the public sector performance.","PeriodicalId":354119,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The theoretical frameworks of iHeart intention to use is set up based upon behavioural change theories. The results were analysed by using SmartPLS which indicate the different acceptance rates among two nationalities. It is concluded that cultural differences and technology advancements impact on the adoption of iHeart from smartphone users' points of view.
