We argue that, when generative AI is seen through a traditional computing lens, its development focuses on optimizing for traditional computing traits that remain in principle unattainable. This risks backgrounding what is most novel and defining about it. As probabilistic technologies, generative AIs do not store, in any traditional sense, any data or content. Rather, essential features of training data become encoded in deep neural networks as patterns, that become practically available as styles. We discuss what happens when the distinction between objects and their appearance dissolves and all aspects of images or text become understood as styles, accessible for exploration and creative combination and generation. For example, defining visual qualities of entities like ‘chair’ or ‘cat’ become available as ‘chair-ness’ or ‘cat-ness’ for creative image generation. We argue that, when understood as style engines, unique generative AI capabilities become conceptualized as complementing traditional computing ones. This will aid both computing practitioners and information systems researchers in reconciling and integrating generative AI into the traditional IS landscape. Our conceptualization leads us to propose four archetypes of generative AI application and use, and to highlight future avenues for information systems research made visible by this conceptualization, as well as implications for practice and policymaking.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102824"},"PeriodicalIF":20.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0268401224000720/pdfft?md5=fbb7fa4b5686d0030ad6839ae1031b2b&pid=1-s2.0-S0268401224000720-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141638898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand what sustains microworkers’ participation, this study draws upon individual labor supply theory to quantitatively examine the impacts of microworkers’ motivations, perceptions, and preferences on their labor supply and wages. To explore the meaning of monetary rewards for microworkers, a qualitative inquiry explores microworkers’ spending patterns. Based on a survey of 306 microworkers on Amazon Mechanical Turk, our hierarchical regression analysis reveals that while individual motivations for monetary rewards, enjoyment, and microtime structure have some impact on the microwork labor supply and wages, their impact is limited. Our thematic analysis uncovers diverse meanings attached to microwork earnings. The two most noted are meeting subsistence needs and nonessential expenditures, both of which have positive effects on microwork wages. By investigating the elasticity of the microwork labor supply and wages and offering a nuanced understanding of monetary rewards, our study contributes to information management research on DLPs. Moreover, it provides practical insights for various stakeholders, including microworkers, requesters, and DLP operators.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102823"},"PeriodicalIF":20.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141622520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses an individual-centered perspective to explain what motivates users to use ChatGPT continuously. We propose that four motivational factors and two technology characteristics together lead to continuance intention among individual ChatGPT users. Therefore, we use a mixed-methods design to combine findings from a quantitative survey study and a qualitative interview study. In Study 1, we follow a configurational approach to analyze multi-wave data from 279 participants with fsQCA. We identify five configurations that lead to high continuance intention and show that perceived ease of use and perceived novelty are necessary for this outcome. Interestingly, the observed factors together cannot explain low continuance intention. In Study 2, we complement these findings with insights based on 15 semi-structured interviews. We illustrate the configurations by identifying 27 individual use cases in the private and work contexts as well as additional factors that facilitate and hinder individual ChatGPT continuance intention. We draw meta-inferences by combining findings of both studies to develop five propositions. Based on that, we contribute a motivational, individual perspective on GenAI continuance intention, present practical implications as well as valuable future research opportunities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102821"},"PeriodicalIF":20.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0268401224000690/pdfft?md5=eb59f8c48a1065b807d29b581e93c9bc&pid=1-s2.0-S0268401224000690-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141483883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual intelligence is a strong predictor of individual job performance, yet research shows that when groups use ICT to support decision making tasks, group performance is not influenced by the combined intelligence of group members. Thus, group performance may be unpredictable because ICT inhibits the ability of intelligent team members to influence team outcomes. We completed two studies that examine whether an ICT-based technique for structuring collaboration to improve information integration and organization can help groups leverage the intelligence of group members. Results show that the performance of groups that used traditional commercial ICT was not related to the average intelligence of group members. In contrast, the performance of groups using our proposed technique was related to the average intelligence of group members.

We employ a mixed-methods approach to examine this phenomenon. First, we conduct a quantitative study using a three-wave survey of 664 domestic Chinese social media users. Both social overload change and information overload change contribute to user dissatisfaction, consequently influencing restricted use behavior. Moreover, prominence negatively moderates the relationship between social overload change and dissatisfaction but does not affect the relationship between information overload change and dissatisfaction. Second, we triangulate these findings through in-depth interviews with 26 experienced social media users.

We propose that broad adoption of these technologies introduces new questions in the study of decision support systems, which assist people with complex and open-ended choices in business. Where traditional study of decision support has focused on bespoke tools to solve narrow problems in specific domains, LLMs offer a general-purpose decision support technology which can be applied in many contexts. To organize the wealth of new questions which result from this shift, we turn to a classic framework from Herbert Simon, which proposes that decision making requires collecting evidence, considering alternatives, and finally making a choice. Working from Simon’s framework, we describe how LLMs introduce new questions at each stage of this decision-making process. We then group new questions into three overarching themes for future research, centered on how LLMs will change individual decision making, how LLMs will change organizational decision making, and how to design new decision support technologies which make use of the new capabilities of LLMs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102811"},"PeriodicalIF":21.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141243583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of Study 2 revealed that experiencing ostracism led to a greater perception of avatar–self discrepancy only when participants interacted with others using assigned avatars. The results of a moderated mediation analysis showed that the ostracism experience with assigned avatars increased avatar–self discrepancy, thereby reducing intention to continue using the avatars and revisit the metaverse.

Our research reveals that complete disintermediation via pure peer-to-peer blockchain transactions is unlikely. Consumers prefer blockchain applications offering supplementary services like call centers, password assistance, and cancellation options. As consumers become familiar with blockchain technology, privacy concerns intensify due to its distributed and immutable storage. The fears of data breaches are more pronounced when blockchain applications are offered by unknown startups as opposed to well-known Big Tech companies. However, privacy-conscious consumers also value the prospect of distancing themselves from big-data ecosystems by embracing blockchain solutions from startups. Our research extends the APCO framework by clarifying how privacy concerns, brand-based heuristics, and technological attributes interact. For managerial implications, blockchain applications necessitate re-intermediation to meet consumer preferences. Potential intermediaries, including Big Tech firms, startups, and industry incumbents, face unique challenges in developing and marketing blockchain-enabled consumer services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102806"},"PeriodicalIF":21.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0268401224000549/pdfft?md5=5c1aecf95721bae49264b0708dbd3037&pid=1-s2.0-S0268401224000549-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
