The balancing act of social enterprise: An IT emergence perspective     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

The significance of IT in the context of non-digital social enterprises (SEs) and its influence on the viability of such SEs have been less studied themes in information systems research. In the era of ubiquitous IT, SEs have increasing pressures to cope with the ever-dynamic technological domain while balancing their dual objectives. Data from a single revelatory case of Jaipur Rugs (JR), an SE situated in a developing country context (India), is used to fathom the peculiarities of the SE context with a focus on the sociomaterial phenomena of IT emergence. Using the three fundamental notions of sociomateriality theory (relationality, performativity, and practice) this interpretive study understands the mechanisms underlying the SE’s attempt to balance its financial and social sustainability objectives. Through the innovative use of IT, the SE establishes and maintains shared value, yielding stability and efficiency to the business (financial viability) while simultaneously ensuring scalability and effectiveness of their social impact. This study strengthens the perspective of IT as an emergent phenomenon situated in sociomaterial practices and fills a gap in organizational literature by examining such phenomenon in the rich context of SEs where achieving the balance between dual goals is increasingly dependent on non-human (IT) agents.  相似文献   

Culture and country choice of international students: evidence from Ghana     

Mahmoud Abdulai Mahmoud  Elizabeth Oppong  Daniel Twimasie  Mohammed Muniru Husseini  Adelaide Naa Amerley Kastner  Moses Oppong 《Journal of Marketing for HIGHER EDUCATION》2020,30(1):105-124

ABSTRACT

This study seeks to examine the influence of the cultural elements on international students’ country choice. It also examines whether individual values moderate the influence of cultural elements on the country choice of international students. Drawing upon a sample size of 223, the data was analysed using structural equation modelling technique. Among the five cultural elements, education, language and social institutions were found to have a positive significant influence on the international student’s country choice. When moderated by individual values education was found to be the only key significant value to international students when selecting a country to further their education. The cultural elements should be given much attention by marketers, government and managers of academic institutions. An improvement in the standards of education in developing countries would attract more students from developed countries.  相似文献

Team identification and sports fandom as predictors of fan aggression: The moderating role of ageing     

《Sport Management Review》2019,22(2):194-208

In the current study, the explored the moderating role of ageing in the relationship between team identification/fandom and fan aggression. The authors used an online panel-based survey that offered access to a realworld population of sports fans. Participants were 740 fans of Israeli professional basketball. Results from structural equation modelling demonstrated that older fans reported higher levels of mere sports fandom and lower levels of self-reported aggression and acceptance of aggression. Moreover, age moderated the relationships between team identification (or fandom) and self-reported aggression, such that team identification (or fandom) was more strongly associated with selfreported fan aggression among younger fans than among older fans. The moderating role of age in the relationships between team identification (or fandom) and perceptions of appropriateness of aggression was not supported. The findings contribute to our theoretical understanding of the role of ageing in the relationship between fan identification and fan aggression. Based on these findings, the authors assert that managers might particularly benefit from leveraging the potential, but often neglected, segment of senior fans, since older fans can play a key role in reducing the level of aggression during competitive sports events. Suggestions for future research are also discussed.  相似文献   

在线医疗社区患者择医行为影响因素研究   总被引：5，自引：1，他引：4  

陆泉  李易时  陈静  李保萍 《图书情报工作》2019,63(8):87-95

[目的/意义]在线医疗社区作为新型医患互动的医疗服务平台，其中的咨询服务是社区吸引用户的重要功能，而付费咨询也是社区赢利的关键模块。了解付费咨询时患者择医行为的信息需求与影响因素，能够更好地改善医生的服务、提升社区活力。[方法/过程]基于消费者信任理论和消费者感知理论，同时考虑在线社区的研究背景，创新地加入价格和从众心理的作用，建立在线医疗社区患者择医行为的影响模型，并以好大夫在线为例，爬取网站数据进行回归分析，以验证变量之间的因果关联。[结果/结论]实证分析证实医生的线下声誉、线上口碑、服务质量、贡献价值、热度以及价格等因素对患者择医行为的影响，且患者线上择医行为也表现出与传统线下择医的差异。研究结果可为医生改进服务和平台社区促活增收提供参考建议。  相似文献   

科技人力资本视角下杰青科学家资助年龄对资助效果的影响——以杰青基金地球科学项目为例     

田人合  郑军卫  张志强  于洁  杨芳娟 《图书情报工作》2019,63(22):91-105

[目的/意义] 杰青基金实施25年来，资助者年龄呈大龄化趋势发展，深入分析该现象对完成杰青基金的影响，对未来杰青基金管理具有重要意义。[方法/过程] 研究以1994-2018年杰青基金地球科学项目为研究对象，构建科研论文产出效率、创新能力和学术影响力三个评价指标，提出"科技人力资本投入-科研产出"理论模型及假设，采用DID模型克服样本选择性偏误所导致的内生性问题，验证理论假设，实现对杰青基金资助年龄异质性的研究。[结果/结论] 实证结果表明：杰青科学家大龄化趋势日趋严重，存在明显的45岁现象；杰青基金实施20年中，支持"资助年龄越大，资助效应越好"假设的比例较低；三个评价指标维度，资助效应最大且资助年龄在39-42岁之间的年份在杰青基金实施20年中所占比例最大。因此，无论从杰青基金设立宗旨、还是从评估结果来看，都应该避免杰青科学家大龄化趋势，扩大对中低龄优秀青年人才的资助。  相似文献   

Adoption of O2O food delivery services in South Korea: The moderating role of moral obligation in meal preparation     

《International Journal of Information Management》2019

Most studies on O2O services have focused solely on the technological merits of mobile applications, overlooking the role of the value systems that underlie people’s lifestyles.In contrast, this research sheds light on how people’s value systems influence their decision to adopt food delivery applications. Particularly, it proposes that people’s moral obligation in meal preparation can change the mode of thinking that guides their adoption decision. Namely, moral obligation is assumed to restrict people from acting on their basic convenience orientation in meal preparation. Empirical results have supported this assumption by showing that people with a high moral obligation (or married people) are more reluctant to convert their basic convenience-seeking tendencies into actual adoption intention than those with a low moral obligation (or single people). The important theoretical and managerial implications of these results are also discussed.  相似文献
