Increasing the Diversity of Investment Portfolio with Integration of Gamified Components in the FinTech Applications Lifecycle

Gamification has the potential to make significant contributions to financial product delivery, Fintech services, and inclusive growth. The integration of gamification into FinTech applications has shown a positive correlation with the social impact theory. Utilizing gamification in a sustainable and effective manner can be crucial for long-term prospects in the FinTech industry. Therefore, it is essential to develop efficient and modern financial software that improves the customer experience. The current literature aims to contribute to this area by highlighting the relationship between interrelated theories and the key factors to consider when designing a gamified element. This study aims to explore the effects of gamification on altering user intention and its significant influence on customer value propositions

Towards the Development of an Integrative Framework for Technology Mediated Learning

As mandatory involvement requirements may not intrinsically motivate learners to achieve high quality learning, social factors under affective commitment are especially important determinants of TML success. This paper investigates an individual’s social and self identities as important determinants in developing affective commitment (identification) and intrinsic motivation (perceived enjoyment) to share knowledge by email in the TML environment. Furthermore, given the recent emphasis on gender in system adoption and socio-linguistic literature, this study investigates gender as a moderating variable in the proposed model. The integrative framework of e-learning in this study will help us understand the antecedents of effective knowledge sharing intervention in the TML environment, based on the integrated model of social identity theory, social influence theory, self determination theory, and socio-linguistic literature. Furthermore, IS practitioners will be able to understand the different roles of identity and gender in developing and designing TML and KM systems

An Empirical Investigation of Normative, Affective, and Gender Influence on E-Commerce Systems Adoption

Electronic commerce (e-commerce) systems adoption factors and the moderating effects of gender are important topics for ecommerce designers and human-computer interaction researchers. Even though there are a lot of research endeavors to explain e-commerce systems adoption, one of the main questions to be answered is regarding the normative and affective factors based on the theory of reasoned action and the self-determination theory. In this paper, the relationships among the social norms, perceived enjoyment, and their relationships to intention to adopt e-commerce system are tested (n = 322). Furthermore, the moderating effects of gender are tested based on the socio-linguistic literature. As expected, the influence of social norms is stronger in the female group while the influence of enjoyment is stronger in the male group. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed in the paper

Understand IS Continuance: A Technology Commitment Perspective

Incorporating commitment theory from social psychology and management science literature, this paper proposes a IS continuance model that explains users’ intention to continuously use IS technologies. We argue that users’ intention to continue using a IS technology (i.e., IS continuance) is determined by their commitment to that specific technology and moderated by the brand-specific technology product. Three dimensions of technology commitment, affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment, are identified to formulate a research model. The hypotheses are empirically tested and the model accounts for 70.9% of variances. Results and contributions of this research-in-progress model are discussed

THE ANTECEDENTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL\u27S COMMITMENTS TOWARD CONTINUOUSLY USING SOCIAL NETWORK SITE

The Social network sites (SNS) has been rapid diffusion around the world. With the increasing importance of SNS, continuance intention also becomes a popular issue in the SNS context. SNS providers have to maintain better relationships with users and make individuals continue to use their sites. Based on this phenomenon, the objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of the continuance intention of SNS through examining the effects of commitments. Specifically, followed Meyer and Allen’s three-component model of commitment, we develop a theoretical model to understand the factors that influence normative, affective and continued commitment and investigate the effects of commitments on continuance intention in the SNS context. Through a survey-based empirical investigation, we anticipate the results to enhance our existing knowledge on continuance intention in the SNS context

Does Citizen–Government Fit Matter? An Exploration in the Context of Online Civic Engagement

Despite technological development and individuals using technologies more than ever, their engagement in e-participation initiatives remains low. A close assessment indicates that simply setting up platforms for e-participation does not inevitably result in online civic engagement. Addressing this gap, this study goes beyond technological factors to consider the citizen-government fit to influence online civic engagement. Using the theoretical lens of person—organization fit, self-efficacy, and the social influence theory, this study argues that (1) the congruence between citizens and their government (i.e., C—G fit) will positively impact online civic engagement and (2) this relationship will be mediated by citizens’ commitment and moderated by e-participation-specific self-efficacy and social networking site usage. Data was collected from six interviews and 14 survey responses as the preliminary study. The data showed an initial indication in support of the research hypotheses. The research method for the final study is described, followed by the implications

How to Influence Physicians to Use Electronic Medical Records (EMR)? Social Influence Tactics and Their Effects on EMR Implementation Effectiveness

Theoretical and practical knowledge of the important role of social influence tactics as a managerial tool used by system implementers to persuade individuals to make use of an information system (IS) is very limited. I integrate elements from the theory of interpersonal influence and leadership with the theory of attitude change and innovation implementation to investigate the role of various leadership tactics that could be used in IS implementations to persuade physicians to use EMR in large hospitals. I define three types of behavioral responses to IS implementations: compliance, commitment and resistance. I show how different leadership tactics could be used during IS implementations in order to impact behavioral change (foster compliant or committed use) and avoid resistance. I propose hypotheses to investigate direct and interaction effects of these tactics on EMR implementation effectiveness. This research contributes to the IS field by “doing IT research that matters.

The Role Of Affective Commitment In ERP Adoption: An Empirical Study

This study investigates the process of acceptance and use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems by its users, in order to understand the reasons behind their behavior. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used as a starting point for this work. In accordance with the TAM, two user’s beliefs, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, affect the behavioral intention to use a specific technology. Moreover, perceived ease of use also influences perceived usefulness. In literature, there are few prior research that focused on role of affective commitment in determining the process of acceptance and use of technology. These have shown that affective commitment positively affects the TAM constructs such as perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Unlike these prior research, we assume that affective commitment directly also affects both the behavioral intention to ERP system use and it moderates the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intention. A survey methodology was used to gather data from an Italian public transport firm. Findings show the importance of affective commitment in determining acceptance and use behavior by users. In particular, our results highlight that affective commitment does not moderate the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and behavioral intention. Moreover, results shown that affective commitment affects behavioural intention to IT use trough user’s beliefs and, above all, it directly and positively affects behavioural intention. We discuss the implications of these results for theory and practice
