The results offer mixed insights as only one experiment supports that task complexity moderates the effect of communication style on trust, such that, task-oriented communication style of the chatbot leads to higher trust under high task complexity conditions. No significant differences in the moderating effect of task complexity on the relationship between communication style and trust is observed between sincere and sophisticated brands. Consistent across the three studies, it is observed that perceived anthropomorphism mediates the effect of communication style on trust which, in turn, affects intention to use the chatbot. The study contributes to literature on AI-enabled conversational agents, human computer interaction, anthropomorphism, and trust.

Therefore, his study investigates the impact of antecedents of international entrepreneurship on the SDGs through the mediating role of emerging technologies, with a precise focus on the moderating role of a global mindset. Data was collected through a cross-sectional approach from 484 entrepreneurs in China. Collected data were analyzed using PLS-SEM techniques on the statistical software SmartPLS 4. The study findings reveal that key antecedents of international entrepreneurship significantly influence the SDGs. Moreover, emerging technologies act as a significant mediator between international entrepreneurship antecedents and SDGs. Additionally, a global mindset among entrepreneurs is found to be a significant moderator between emerging technologies and SDGs. This study adds to the existing literature by presenting empirical evidence on the interconnections between international entrepreneurship, emerging technologies, and sustainable organizational development. The implications of this study offer valuable understandings for entrepreneurs aiming to enhance their organizations' sustainable development through innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"209 ","pages":"Article 123831"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142444545","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 findings show that: micro-celebrity status triggers role stress, and, in turn, role stress reinforces micro-celebrity status; and empty self and trans-parasocial interactions are two approaches that can be used to cope with role stress. The contribution made is threefold. Firstly, our study expands micro-celebrity literature by identifying the facets of their social media-afforded status in the context of live streaming in China. Secondly, our study contributes role theory by exploring three facets of micro-celebrity's role stress in live streaming in China. Thirdly, our study proposes that a micro-celebrity's stress, is a social phenomenon and its recognition helps our understanding of actively self- and socially-related coping approaches.
