The study adopts a mixed-method approach. Initially, semi-structured are conducted to identify the constructs. Subsequently, empirical analysis is carried out to establish the relationship between different constructs. In the framework of the present investigations, personal safety, digital literacy, and social influence as stimuli (S) that affect an individual's openness to change, which acts as organism (O), and in turn, it expresses an individual's willingness to adopt the services of m-payment apps (R). Through structural equation modeling, responses from 429 consumers are used to evaluate a model incorporating the S-O-R framework with mediator, moderator, and control variables. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between personal safety, social influence, digital literacy, and m-payment adoption. Openness to change partially mediated all the associations, while user involvement moderated the associations between digital literacy, openness to change, and m-payment adoption. One of the study's primary contributions is applying the S-O-R model in this context, along with mediating and moderating the influence of openness to change and user involvement. The study's results enrich our understanding of consumer behavior and actual practices post-COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":46306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167504","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}

Since ESM can afford high communication visibility, employees may be afraid of being supervised. Drawing from self-determination theory, this paper examined how communication visibility moderates the process from two types of motivations (i.e., autonomous motivation and controlled motivation) to employees' subsequent participation provision. Factor-based structural equation modeling was used to analyze a recall-based sample, including 358 employees who are using an ESM tool named DingTalk, within their organizations. The results revealed that autonomous/controlled motivation could indirectly increase/decrease continuance participation intention by positive affect. Also, communication visibility can undermine the positive effects of autonomous motivation and then continuance participation intention. These findings suggest the necessity of stimulating ESM participation with autonomous motivation and balancing the communication visibility afforded by ESM.","PeriodicalId":46306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167111","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}

To fill this gap, the authors applied a modified version of the burnout model to college students in Kuwait to measure their satisfaction with an e-learning system during the Coronavirus pandemic. They survey 573 college-level students in Kuwait on their preference of online learning. The results indicated that the perceived workload and exhaustion (as a burnout variable) had more of an effect on dissatisfaction with e-learning than system quality. Further, they also found that dissatisfaction was negatively associated with e-learning acceptance.","PeriodicalId":46306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167372","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}

This article examines pricing strategies in a closed-loop dual-channel supply chain for electric vehicle batteries both with and without a governmental reward and punishment mechanism. The discussion considers the optimal pricing strategy considering the competition between dual collecting channels, both with the government's reward and punishment mechanism and without it. The degree of influence of government mechanisms, echelon utilization, and EV battery collection on a) collection price, b) collection capacity, and c) the profit obtained by participants are also examined. The discussion shows that collection capacity, collection price, and recycler profits in the closed-loop EV battery supply chain could be improved with a government reward and punishment mechanism.

The IES comprises of components such as combined heat and power units equipped with carbon capture facilities, wind power generators, photovoltaic panels, and energy storage systems. The objective function of the model is the minimization of operational costs. Low-carbon economic operation dispatching problem under the constraints of energy conversion, energy balance, and operation cost is studied based on a mix-integer linear programming model. Through sensitivity analysis, this study explores the impact of varying carbon tax levels on the operational costs and emissions of an IES while considering peak and valley price differences. The emission reduction potential of the IES under different policy and technology scenarios is also estimated.","PeriodicalId":46306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136293818","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}

These two design projects operationalize the human-centric AI approach with two complementary stages: 1) the first installs a human-in-loop informed design process, and 2) the second implements a usage architecture that aggregates AI and humans. The proposed framework offers many advantages such as permitting to integrate of human knowledge into the design and training of the AI, providing humans with an understandable explanation of their predictions, and driving the advent of augmented intelligence that can turn algorithms into a powerful counterweight to human decision-making errors and humans as a counterweight to AI biases.","PeriodicalId":46306,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093142","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}

The authors found that environmental improvement positively impacted various PEBs, including green travel, plastic bag use, garbage sorting, and energy conservation. Better perceived environmental quality leads to increased environmental expectations, motivation to adopt PEBs, and awareness of environmental responsibility. The positive effect is more pronounced for individuals engaged in environmental protection activities, familiar with environmental advocacy, and with a family consensus on environmental protection. These findings were corroborated through robustness tests of alternative methods, samples, and measures. There is a positive feedback loop between a sustainable environment and human behavior.
