online social networks are progressively being adopted among young people in developing countries. The public is questioning why so many people adopt this technology in many aspects of their lives? The purpose of this study is to understand the acceptance of social networks by Thai students. We used traditional TAM's behavioral constructs: subjective norms (SN), perceived usefulness, perceived ease...
The Information Systems (IS) discipline has so far focused largely on Utilitarian aspects rather than the Hedonic. The reason might lie in the computing disciplines' origins in disciplines that emphasize hard science, efficiency, and utility [44]. Although there are "Hedonic Information Systems", they have been developed primarily for non-business use of computing such as those for entertainment,...
User attitudes are a major predictor of the endogenous variables in ICT adoption models. However it is known in the community that the predictive validity of user attitudes on behavioral intention to adopt ICT suffers from inconsistencies. Being a basic predictor of behavioral intention in models like TRA or TPB, user attitudes turned out not to be predictive of behavior in other studies [1]. Some...
This paper presents a grid built based on the correlation of lightning strikes location and amplitude in kilo amperes, to understand and improve the designs of the electrical poles located in critical areas of significant lightning activity. The geo-lightning grid is colored blue to red, being red critical, to prioritize the areas. Overlapped with the electrical network geographical topology, displays...
E-learning has become a new technology in the educational field recently because of development of information communication technology. Therefore, the Department of Education, Taipei City Government constructed a digital platform based on the internet, named Easy Teaching Web of Taipei (ET Web), for teachers and academic staffs to surf in 2003. For the purpose of analyzing the effectiveness of the...
In the digital era, using information technology to search valuable information is one of the important skills. Taipei City Government set up Easy Teaching Web of Taipei, integrates scattered knowledge in the field of education and human resources, and build a knowledge-sharing platform for teachers. However, it is still important to understand how to improve the usage of Easy Teaching Web of Taipei...
On the basis of extant literature, we built a conceptual model of the relationship among Perceived Quality, Perceived Value, Satisfaction, Sense of Belonging and Usage, and proposed some hypotheses about the influencing factors of continued system usage in SNS. To test the hypotheses, we designed a questionnaire, and conducted a survey in Xidian University. We used SPSS13.0 to analyze the collected...
The objective of this study is web-sites, and the purpose of which is to revalidate End-User Computing Satisfaction (EUCS) instrument to measure user's satisfaction with web-sites. This study is especially important given that the increased significance of the web-sites and its uniqueness in computing application field. A total of 38 persons participated in the survey via e-mail. Fit indices analysis...
Online reputation system plays an important role in building consumer trust to online life merchants and the online rating is one of the most important factors to be successful for them. The new reputation dimension is explored by applying content analysis on the basis of the large number of customer comments collected from the website (www.koubei.com). And then the linear regression and linear regression...
The role of virtual community has become more important to consumers purchase decision. But which factors of virtual community are very important? In our study, we therefore use SEM to test three factors, such as information, member and platform. We found that professional or experiential information, ease use system are significant correlation with the purchase decisions.
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...
This paper examines the individual IS manager's ability to exploit current IT capabilities and explore new technology innovations. It extends the concept of ambidexterity, which is often studied at the firm or business unit level, to the individual level, and draws from open innovation theory to examine how the ability of an individual IS manager to explore and exploit is associated with their degree...
The extent of the successfulness of an organization's information systems would start at the very beginning, even before it is implemented. In other words the success of a system would be determined at the very beginning of its implementation project; from identification of requirements to the final implementation and go live phase. Hence the sequence of activities occurring according to a preplanned...
On the basis of extant literature, we built a conceptual model of the relationship between network structure, IT capability, organizational relationship management capability, trust and Information Systems Outsourcing (ISO) success, and proposed some hypotheses about them. To test the hypotheses, we designed a questionnaire, and conducted a survey in Xi'an Software Park. We used AMOS 16.0 to analyze...
A large number of studies has been conducted in an attempt to evaluate the government-to-business (G2B) success and investigate the usage determinants. However, there seems to be lack of research that assess the success criteria and look into the usage factors of user attitude, organizational learning and dynamic capability. Therefore, using a survey, we attempt to investigate the matter. Findings...
This paper reports the results of a research project addressing the adoption success of an information technology application. Two main antecedents namely the fit of the process, technology and individual characteristics, and trust were tested to examine their influence to information technology adoption success. Using a survey, we found there are significant relationships between the antecedents...
Users always expect to acquire high quality services from online banking. Previous studies have found that website system quality is a main factor determining online users' initial adoption and usage. For their continuance usage, service quality may be a main determinant. This research proposes that online banking service quality, reputation and security influence users' continuance usage through...
In the last decades, information systems (IS) researchers have concentrated their efforts in developing and testing models that help with the investigation of IS and user performance in different environments. As a result, a number of models for studying end users' systems utilization and other related issues including system usefulness, system success and user aspects in business organizations have...
In order to reveal the incentive functions of enterprise informationization (EI) construction during the process of knowledge transformation, the structure equation modeling (SEM) is used in this paper. By model deduction, research design and model verification, the SEM can effectively reveal the correlation between informationization construction and knowledge transformation in Chinese Enterprises...
Researchers have done many studies on the low performance of information system development (ISD), requirement uncertainty, user interaction, personal conflict as well as IS performance has become focus. Previous literature has mentioned the importance of the above four, but empirical studies are handful. This paper attempts to summarize the relationships among them through empirical research, providing...
