Green Information Technology (IT) is the study of environment friendly practices in the IT context. Science and technology has brought in many benefits over the years but we failed to see the environmental degradation that is happening due to anthropogenic activities. In recent times, there exists an enthusiasm in sustainable activities among people but its relationship with their day to day work...
While social and environmental issues as well as self-reliance are concerned by consumers, voluntary simplicity lifestyle has been attracted by increased media. Consumers with voluntary simplicity would tend to decline material consumption in order to free their resources, primarily money and time, and to seek life satisfaction, fulfillment, and personal growth. Although the scales of voluntary simplicity...
E-Commerce is nothing new to our world. Today, progressively more consumers purchase foreign goods through online B2C website. Despite the sharp growth of oversea online shopping, there appears to be a lack of comprehensive research for its mechanism. The purpose of this study is to understand the efficacy of product reviews. We conducted a survey of 292 consumers in China who had at least one overseas...
Unlike physical services, e-services lack human interaction, which calls for them to be designed in a more human-like way. From the conventional marketing perspective, the concept of brand personality is used to explain the human characteristics associated with a brand. Regrettably, existing brand personality dimensions are context-specific and are often developed using physical products and services...
E-Commerce is growing rapidly and so is its major part, e-tourism. Although it is important to enhance its technology, but there is a necessity to understand the behavior of its consumer first. This study aims to identify fundamental factors influencing consumer acceptance of e-tourism websites in Iran. The theoretical background of the study is based on Technology Acceptance Model. We investigated...
Individuals working as a team introduce team related issues such as interpersonal coordination, supervision, time, and task management which are influenced by nontechnical, cognitive and social skills of team members. In control room of complex systems and under high task load situations, teams of operators are solely responsible for the ultimate decision making and control; but incomplete information,...
It has become well-established that software will never become bug-free, which has spurred research in mechanisms to contain faults and recover from them. Since such mechanisms deal with faults, fault injection is necessary to evaluate their effectiveness. However, little thought has been put into the question whether fault injection experiments faithfully represent the fault model designed by the...
Due to the boom in trust research new Trust Frameworks are created within short time intervals providing specific solutions for different domains. But these frameworks miss a common understanding and shared description. Based on available categorizations and surveys we collected key components already identified within Trust Management and created a generally applicable meta-model, which aims at creating...
In this paper, we construct a P2P dynamic trust management system based on the concept of trust network that covers aggregation computation of trust degree, the selection of trust chains and the assessment of overall trust. In particular, we optimized the searching algorithm of trust chains and the calculation of recommendation trust. The results of simulation show that the system can ameliorate the...
Turnover of volunteer members and the ensuing instability bring about severe problems to open source software (OSS) projects. To better understand it, we based our study on Herzberg's two-factor theory to investigate the influence of hygiene factors on volunteer members' dissatisfaction and perceived turnover. After empirically testing the research model, we found shortcomings in project regulation...
This study analyzes the distinction, both conceptually and operationally, between behavioral intentions and behavioral goals. This paper recognizes the importance of time orientation in the measurement of behavioral intentions as defined by Fishbein and Ajzen. Literature is reviewed that shows this conceptual definition is often misused in information systems (IS) research because behavioral intention...
