Building an analytical model with two competing platforms, we investigate whether the entrant platform should adopt an Allow, Ban or Ban-Whitelist strategy in response to ad blockers, if the incumbent platform allows the users to use the ad blockers. Our analysis reveals that the new entrant does not always follow the strategy of the incumbent. If regular users have high ad sensitivity, the new entrant platform should adopt the Ban or Ban-Whitelist strategy, otherwise, the Allow strategy is better off. As the ad-light level or network effects increase, the entrant platform is less likely to choose the Ban strategy and more likely to adopt the Allow strategy. We also examine the impacts of different strategic choices made by the new entrant platform on the incumbent platform and find that the incumbent platform can achieve higher profits when the entrant platform adopts the Ban-Whitelist strategy if the ad sensitivity is high. Our findings also assist the incumbent platform in adjusting its optimal ad intensity to effectively respond to the competition. Specially, the two platforms will decrease the ad intensities as the strength of network effects becomes higher. Furthermore, we find that a win-win-win outcome for the two platforms and social welfare can only be achieved when the new entrant platform adopts the Allow or Ban-Whitelist strategy. Finally, our study explores the benefits of ad blockers and demonstrates the robustness of the results through model extensions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56291,"journal":{"name":"Information & Management","volume":"62 8","pages":"Article 104217"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings demonstrate three key mechanisms: (1) algorithmic control reveals an inverted U-shaped relationship with job engagement in which moderate levels optimize worker role integration; (2) algorithm familiarity moderates this curvilinear relationship by amplifying the effects at both extremes of excessive and insufficient control; and (3) job engagement mediates the influence of algorithmic control on performance outcomes, and such a mediating role has been further moderated by workers’ familiarity with the algorithm. The findings facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the impact of algorithmic control, offering practical guidance for algorithm developers and enterprises in formulating reasonable control strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56291,"journal":{"name":"Information & Management","volume":"62 8","pages":"Article 104216"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior research on the microfoundations of digital transformation emphasizes that the essence of transformation lies in the individuals who drive it forward. To truly unlock this potential, organizations must harmonize sweeping changes with the individual needs and professional aspirations of their workforce. Achieving this balance is crucial to mitigating resistance and ensuring successful transformation. This study offers an empirical examination of how these dynamics unfold in practice. It begins by theorizing that employee sentiment toward digitalization is a key predictor of their predispositions toward digital transformation. The findings demonstrate that positive predispositions, in turn, can significantly enhance employees’ willingness to participate in digital transformation initiatives. This study sheds light on the individual microfoundations that underpin employee participation in digital transformation, revealing that these drivers are rooted in fundamental psychological needs, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. The findings advocate for investments in employees’ psychosocial readiness and suggest viewing digitalization projects as strategic opportunities to cultivate positive experiences and attitudes, paving the way for future transformation initiatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56291,"journal":{"name":"Information & Management","volume":"62 8","pages":"Article 104212"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144621963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these services are still in a nascent stage. The supply of doctors’ services is crucial for the survival and development of online healthcare platforms. Especially, how to motivate the service supply of doctors effectively has always been a challenge faced by online healthcare platforms. Gamification, such as distinction badges, is touted as a potential remedy for these issues. Despite the widespread implementation of distinction badges in healthcare management to motivate doctors’ behavior, their effects on patient satisfaction are not yet well-established. To explore these questions, we formulated four hypotheses based on the expectation confirmation theory and tested them through an econometric analysis and a controlled laboratory experiment. Our research revealed that distinction badges did not enhance patient satisfaction; instead, they led to a decrease. Our empirical findings suggest that doctors with high-ranking titles and those from key hospitals experienced a less negative impact from distinction badges. Conversely, doctors without such titles and from non-key hospitals faced a more pronounced negative effect. Additionally, the adverse impact of distinction badges was more significant for doctors who were more active contributors online. Our study not only contributes to the literature on decision-making for online healthcare services and gamification but also offers valuable practical recommendations for gamification designers and platform decision-makers seeking to improve patient satisfaction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56291,"journal":{"name":"Information & Management","volume":"62 8","pages":"Article 104209"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144663449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior research highlights the positive impacts of virtual status awards on user engagement. However, the potential negative effects of status loss remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining the detrimental impact of virtual status loss on user engagement, emphasizing the varying intensity of the impact across multiple successive time points during users’ subsequent engagements. Utilizing reinforcement theory and accountability theory, it investigates how status loss affects user engagement. The findings suggest that status loss reduces the frequency of user engagement significantly and results in a stronger short-term shock that gradually diminishes. This effect is more intense for users with newly gained status, while those who have gained status multiple times experience weaker shocks. Additionally, losing status leads to a decline in the effort and quality of users’ contributions, with stronger negative impacts on engagement dimensions that users previously valued more. This study provides a nuanced understanding of the dual nature of virtual status systems, offering insights to optimize status-related user engagement strategies and enhance the development of online platforms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56291,"journal":{"name":"Information & Management","volume":"62 7","pages":"Article 104208"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
