The current study was based on data from a nationwide Annual Social Survey to investigate the correlation between types of Internet usage (seeking information, e-government use, e-mail, social media and peer-to-peer Internet telephony) and trust in political institutions in Israel's Jewish majority and Arab minority. Trust in government, parliament, and political parties was found to be significantly higher among Jews than Arabs. Our findings show that first level digital divide reflected in Internet use vs non-use does not correlate with political trust. Among Internet users we found different patterns of association between digital uses and trust in political institutions, which may presumably be explained by different group status. E-government use and social media use were positively correlated with political trust only among Jews. Seeking information and e-mail use were negatively associated with trust in political institutions only among Arabs. Peer-to-peer Internet telephony was negatively correlated with trust in government among both groups. Our important finding is that in spite of the processes of digitization, the effects of digital use on political trust are still relatively marginal. In both groups, the primary predictor of political trust is attitudes toward the functioning of different public institutions.  相似文献

Trust is a major concern that develops citizens' willingness to use social media as a technology platform for e-government services. However, despite its importance, there is lack of prior investigation about the factors that can generate citizens' trust to use such services, particularly in a developing country like Pakistan. To address this research gap, this study aims to develop a model that identifies antecedents of citizens' trust to use social media for e-government services. A total of 615 responses were collected from Pakistani citizens having familiarity with e-government and social media services. Partial least squares (PLS-SEM) method was employed to test the proposed relationships in the model. The findings show a significant relationship of trust with citizens intention to use government social media services. Information quality, structural assurances, perceived security, perceived privacy and perceived ease of use are identified as antecedents of trust. The proposed model of this study explains 56.4% of the variance in trust. The implications, limitations and suggestions for future research have also been discussed. These findings can assist government organizations and policy makers in making decisions to increase citizens participation by facilitating their trust on social media-based services of e-government.  相似文献

The wide deployment of digital technologies for the management of the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered concerns about privacy and intrusion from government surveillance. This study investigates individual privacy and surveillance attitudes by developing a theoretical model to explain acceptance of government surveillance and privacy protection behaviours during health-crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Results from a US sample reveal that people are concerned about the collection and use of their personal information via mobile applications and the monitoring of their online activities by authorities. Findings reveal the important roles of political trust and belief that governments' need to be proactive in protecting peoples’ welfare during a crisis that can increase acceptance of surveillance and thus assist in the management of the health crisis. Implications for research and practice are discussed.  相似文献

The rising trend of online social shopping is evident from the increasing volume of online social commerce. However, despite the importance of this development, only a limited number of studies exist pertaining to the factors that affect social commerce intention. To fill this gap in the research, the present study develops a model identifying the antecedents of social commerce intention. Utilizing stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) theory and the affordance lens, the current study attempts to explore the role of IT affordance, flow experience, and trust on social commerce intention. For this purpose, the empirical data were collected by means of an e-survey instrument from customers that had previously used a social commerce platform for shopping. The authors used the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method to verify the relationships proposed in the model. Our results show that: visibility affordance influences customer purchase intention through trust in the seller and trust in the social media platform; metavoicing affordance influences social commerce intention through flow experience and trust in the social media platform; and guidance shopping affordance influences social commerce intention through flow experience, trust in the seller, and trust in the social media platform. Some significant theoretical and managerial insights are also presented.  相似文献

This paper examines the use of social media by Jordanian political elites impacting on issues relating to political decision-making and corruption. Motives of political participation are studied, scrutinizing the relationship between social media and activity, and political awareness and communication within a selected sample. Adopting Jürgen Habermas’ public sphere theory, the study addresses social communication as a core area of non-institutional interaction which is more prevalent than institutional political activities. An intentional sampling of 206 Jordanian elite, are surveyed to determine the role that social media played in providing information relating to corruption in Jordan. A comprehensive inventory method was used, and a questionnaire was analysed using SPSS, revealing a social media platform for exchange of opinions from Jordanian political hierarchy and public. Therein an illusory gap is bridged between elite and commoner highlighting issues including corruption, proving an essential tool in the fight against corruptive intentions.  相似文献

University professors face numerous challenges, especially when teaching issues related to political behavior. Recent studies in Brazil have shown that technology, clarity of information and impartial debates in the classroom have led to the development of more frequent political behaviors among Brazilian students. However, this research subject remains poorly addressed in Brazil. We investigated the development of political attitudes and political behavior of undergraduate students in Brasília, Brazil. We applied questionnaires to students (N = 349) in undergraduate courses (social, exact and health sciences) of a public university in Brasília (Federal District), capital of Brazil. Principal Components Analysis was used and three dimensions of political attitudes were created: (i) Degree of political knowledge Factor (PK), (ii) Positive Feelings about Politics Factor (PFP) and (ii) Negative Feelings about Politics Factor (NFP). The results suggest that students from social sciences undergraduate courses have a higher PK average in comparison to other student groups. Moreover, a linear regression model was developed for PFP factor. For PFP and NFP, the students from the social sciences areas were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Based on the outcomes of this study, we argue that it is essential for teachers to be aware of the importance of introducing themes related to political behavior in the classroom, considering the influence that political attitudes have on political behavior. It is the professor's role to stimulate impartial debate, free of personal preferences while presenting arguments from the students' arguments, in order to promote the scientific understanding of these subjects.  相似文献

Many organizations struggle to meaningfully engage with their stakeholders on political, societal and environmental topics via social media. Often such discourses unravel into splintered and negative conversations, raising the question whether organizations can and should exercise some level of control and ‘steering’ in these conversations and, if so, how stakeholders would react to such ‘top down’ moderation. Existing studies lack empirical insights into the impacts of different levels of moderation in social media conversations on stakeholder attitudes. Two experimental studies were developed to test the effect of different levels of organizational moderation on stakeholder attitudes towards organizations. We show that increased levels of moderation negatively affect attitudes towards an organization, satisfaction with an organization's performance, and trust in the organization. Increased moderation also significantly undermines beliefs in the commitment of the organization to its stakeholders and control mutuality. This paper extends recent qualitative attempts to build new theory around stakeholder dialogues on social media by testing the effects of varying levels of moderation in such dialogues.  相似文献

Live e-commerce shopping has attracted widespread attention in the global market, and China is the markets with the most active users. Despite the exponential growth of live e-commerce shopping, there are still challenges to understand the customer psychological determination mechanism. We proposed an extended theoretical model from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and performed a cross-sectional survey of the e-commerce consumers. In total, 972 valid responses were collected from four cities in mainland China. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate the factors that influence consumers to adopt live e-commerce shopping. The empirical results confirm the theoretical model explains 78.5% of participants’ behavioral intention and 79.2% of use behavior. Performance expectancy (β = 0.325), effort expectancy (β = 0.202), facilitating conditions (β = 0.097), hedonic motivation (β = 0.213), habit (β = 0.228), and trust (β = 0.218) are significantly related with behavioral intention, while social influence (β = −0.036) and price value (β = 0.022) are not significant factors. Facilitating conditions (β = 0.206), habit (β = 0.203), trust (β = 0.392), and behavioral intention (β = 0.317) are the significant determinants of use behavior toward live e-commerce shopping. Four demographic variables, including gender, age, education, and income, release the significant moderating effects in the theoretical model. This research helps e-commerce platforms and retail stores develop effective strategies to activate consumers' adoption of live e-commerce shopping.  相似文献

Online social media create virtual communities and network platforms that people use to create, share, and exchange opinions, views and experiences. With social networks, social commerce not only relies on commerce, but online social media can also promote the sale of goods or services online. Many online operators have begun to use recommendation systems to analyze customer purchase history and identify individual products that customers may purchase. This enables the company to send product information to consumers to attract their attention. In addition, consumers have a higher purchase rate for recommended products based on consumer data. Based on a survey in Taiwan society, this study uses the questionnaire survey method to collect data on a relational database. This study investigates Taiwan online social media users’ behaviors using data mining methods, including clustering analysis and association rules. Clustering analysis is to investigate possible profiles of users and association rules are to find knowledge patterns and rules of user profiles, online social media usage motivation/preferences and social commerce behavior in order to generate social commerce recommendations in terms of social technology development in the modern society.  相似文献

Electric vehicles must be widely accepted because of environmental concerns and carbon restrictions. Previous research has looked at consumer policy preferences and their influence on electric vehicle adoption. However, none have investigated the impact of policies linked to battery recycling on electric vehicle adoption. This study used a discrete choice model (the panel-data mixed logit model) to evaluate 552 actual consumer choice data from Southwest China collected via an online questionnaire. Our results indicate that (1) 75% of respondents feel that electric vehicles enhance the environment and are eager to embrace them. However, the lack of strong recycling policies may hinder their adoption of electric vehicles. Specifically, the four battery recycling policies significantly impact electric vehicle adoption. (2) Consumers appreciate producer-oriented incentives more than consumer-oriented incentives to a lesser extent, such as mandated battery recycling policies and electric vehicle battery flow tracing policies. (3) Consumers place a larger willingness to pay on charging station density than vehicle attributes. (4) Regarding consumer heterogeneity, the usual young group in higher-rated cities prefers electric vehicles, while customers who own a car are more inclined to buy electric vehicles. Finally, more management insights and policy recommendations are provided based on these findings to help government and producer policymakers.

Social media is the leading medium which is used for communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research conducted aims to fill the gap of literature related to social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aims at uncovering the influences of social media use in several dimensions during lockdown(s). The study aims to answer the research question of: Are the influences of social media use different from normal times? The online questionnaire has been completed by six hundred and sixty-eight users within the period of lockdown. The author prepared the questionnaire, which is composed of 22 positive statements in order to evaluate the effects of social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic. A 5 point Likert scale was used, where reliability and validity were calculated by the Cronbach's alpha value, which was 0.751. Findings highlight that users have more information about COVID-19, and they follow recent information via social media, which shows the shift towards digital medium. Findings also indicate that users are aware of fake news, and they follow official sources. Social media is powerful to affect decision-makers, and respondents' social media use did not create any panic or anxiety amongst them. This research indicates that respondents' social media use during COVID-19 is different from normal times as a common purpose triggers this, survival. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, most of social media shares were like a dream or a strong desire that may cause anxiety in others. During the pandemic, people are in lockdown and share similar feelings and follow similar behavioural patterns. As there is a common purpose and struggle via users, psychological well-being is not affected negatively.  相似文献

The COVID-19 pandemic amplified the influence of information reporting on human behavior, as people were forced to quickly adapt to a new health threatening situation by relying on new information. Drawing from protection-motivation and cognitive load theories, we formulated a structural model eliciting the impact of the three online information sources: (1) social media, (2) official websites, and (3) other online news sources; on motivation to adopt recommended COVID-19 preventive measures. The model was tested with the data collected from university employees and students (n = 225) in March 2020 through an online survey and analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). We observed that social media and other online news sources increased information overload amongst the online information sources. This, in turn, negatively affected individuals' self-isolation intention by increasing perceived response costs and decreasing response efficacy. The study highlights the role of online information sources on preventive behaviors during pandemics.  相似文献

The paper investigated the relationship between readiness towards a cashless society and adoption of cashless applications among Malaysians. Specifically, drivers and inhibitors were explored and examined to assess their direct and indirect effects through the development of the Cashless Society Readiness-Adoption model. The model was developed based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 and Technology Readiness Index 2.0. Self-administered surveys were administered in online and offline modes, resulting in 258 valid responses (Mage = 34.5; SDage = 7.82). Structured equation modelling revealed Ease of Use, Usefulness, Innovativeness, Optimism and Lack of awareness to directly affect users’ readiness in going cashless. Interestingly, perceived readiness had no direct effect in the adoption of digital payment services, however, the effect was found to be significant with the inclusion of risk and intrinsic motivation as the mediating factors. Similarities and dissimilarities with existing studies are discussed in this paper. Results would be beneficial to respective parties such as service providers, financial institutions and government agencies to develop and design strategies to encourage more people to embrace digital payment services effectively.  相似文献

This study develops a theoretical model that highlights the determinants of actual social media (SM) usage for travel planning by combining theoretical frameworks from the marketing, psychology and information systems literature. The data was collected through field as well as online survey in India. An online survey questionnaire link was shared on different social media platforms and social networking sites. Besides, field visits were carried out to collect data in-person through face-to-face interviews. The final sample consists of 539 observations. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was applied to validate the hypothesized relationships among constructs. The results suggest that technological convenience and perceived enjoyment influence the perceived ease of using SM for travel planning. In turn, perceived ease of use impacts perceived usefulness, along with media richness. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, along with trust positively influence intentions to use SM for travel planning, while perceived risk inhibits those intentions. However, trust increases perceived usefulness and mitigates perceived risk. Importantly, intentions exert a strong impact on actual use. This study contributes to the literature by presenting and validating a theory-driven framework that unveils the factors influencing actual usage of SM for travel planning. The proposed theoretical framework emphasizes the key relationships among factors and provides a research basis for development in other contexts.  相似文献

The rapid growth of user interactions in social media sites gives useful insights in many areas. Facebook is the most popular social media site lately, with the highest number of active users, which is a valuable and hassle-free source in obtaining data. Despite its enthusiastic nature, it is a mere fact that people use Facebook to gain instant updates on the current state of affairs. The ability of getting updates from several sources of news channels in a single user news feed, the extreme ease of providing feedbacks on those news posts using gesture-based reactions, send and share messages among people are some of the main reasons for its increasing popularity in the perspective of attaining news. Politics has always been a ubiquitous topic in the world. Sri Lanka was in a war on terrorism for nearly three decades, followed by a governance (2005–2015) led by the same political party which was alleged for autocracy and lasted for nearly a decade has influenced the citizens’ political conviction heavily. On such a background, the “Good-Governance” (2015–2019) which is a coalition government, trounced the ruling government at the presidential election held by then, which they claimed to direct Sri Lanka towards a sustainable, stable, responsible and moral society with necessary constitutional amendments guaranteeing democracy to all ethnic groups eradicating corruption, wastage and fraud. The interest and motivation of this study builds up to discover whether there are any significant trends in the Sri Lankan political context following this transformation, in the perspective of the general public. Facebook user reactions on news posts have been used for this study as the data source. The analysis of this study reveals an increasing trend of user reactions in politics from 2011 to 2018. Further, it is identified that the present government (2015–2019) has a decreasing trend of user reactions over the past years (2011–2015) in the sight of its citizens, although they pledged for a better governance. On the contrary, the previous government has an increasing trend even though they were overpowered by the “Good-Governance” for its alleged unscrupulous ruling.  相似文献

Social media provide a wide array of interactive functions which allow users to share and comment on content and personal status. While considerable work has been done on identifying factors which influence social media usage intention, few studies have empirically examined factors which cause users to share content, related group behaviors, and consequences of social media participation. This study develops an integrated model to explore these research questions. The proposed model is empirically evaluated using survey data collected from 389 social media users. Results suggest that altruism, expected reciprocal benefit and expected relationship are significant determinants of knowledge sharing intention. We-intention is determined by factors such as social norms, online self-presentation, social identity and knowledge sharing intention. Moreover, users obtain social support and social capital through social media participation. The findings may provide useful insights for social media platform managers and marketers.  相似文献

With increasing frequency, people are using social media sites to obtain timely information about the world's grand challenges and this phenomenon is amplified during crises. However, little research has been conducted to determine how people participate and how their involvement can be promoted on social media sites, although the critical role played by those sites has been well documented. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study develops and tests a theoretical model to establish the effect of several factors with survey data collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, in Saudi Arabia. The relationship was verified on a sample of 213 respondents active on Twitter, using Partial Least Square (PLS). The study found that attitude, perceived behavioural control and subjective norm affect Twitter users' active participation significantly within the context of a time of crisis. It also found a positive effect of utilitarian and hedonic values and trust. These results will provide a more comprehensive evaluation of Twitter users in grand challenges (and more specifically during a crisis) and furnish academics and managers with instructive guidance.  相似文献
