Factors affecting user’s risk perception and precautionary behavior when using Fintech: a comparison of Norway-a developed country, and Vietnam- a developing country.

Financial technology (known as Fintech) is one of the most prominent trends in the global industrial revolution 4.0. It refers to innovative technology that aims to enhance and automate the delivery and usage of financial services. As a result of the effects of the covid 19 epidemic, particularly the social distancing policy and the demand for digital connectedness, the formation of fintech firms providing various types of services has expanded rapidly (Feyen et al., 2021). This financial industry innovation provides numerous positive effects, but it also contains considerable risks for customers, suppliers, and intermediaries, especially cyber security risks. Based on prior research subjects such as perceived risk variables influencing intention to use Fintech (Tang et al., 2020) and the connection between risk perception and preventative behavior (Alqahtani et al., 2021; van Schaik et al., 2017), this study will focus on two main goals. The first objective is to discover and recognize factors that influence consumers' perceptions of possible hazards when using fintech. Then, we will examine the effect of risk perception on consumer precautionary behavior regarding information security. Therefore, investors and founders of Fintech software may better understand their customers' requirements and develop more security solutions. The findings indicate that knowledge, affect, and trust are the primary determinants influencing the risk perception of Fintech consumers in Vietnam and Norway. Nevertheless, there exists a disparity in the level of their impact when contrasting the two nations. Furthermore, it was observed that risk perception served as a predictor of Fintech users’ precautionary behavior. The research model's reliability and validity are ensured through the utilization of SmartPLS software for the analysis of survey data

Requirements and operational guidelines for secure and sustainable digital phenotyping:Design and development study

Background: Digital phenotyping, the measurement of human behavioral phenotypes using personal devices, is rapidly gaining popularity. Novel initiatives, ranging from software prototypes to user-ready research platforms, are innovating the field of biomedical research and health care apps. One example is the BEHAPP project, which offers a fully managed digital phenotyping platform as a service. The innovative potential of digital phenotyping strategies resides among others in their capacity to objectively capture measurable and quantitative components of human behavior, such as diurnal rhythm, movement patterns, and communication, in a real-world setting. The rapid development of this field underscores the importance of reliability and safety of the platforms on which these novel tools are operated. Large-scale studies and regulated research spaces (eg, the pharmaceutical industry) have strict requirements for the software-based solutions they use. Security and sustainability are key to ensuring continuity and trust. However, the majority of behavioral monitoring initiatives have not originated primarily in these regulated research spaces, which may be why these components have been somewhat overlooked, impeding the further development and implementation of such platforms in a secure and sustainable way.Objective: This study aims to provide a primer on the requirements and operational guidelines for the development and operation of a secure behavioral monitoring platform.Methods: We draw from disciplines such as privacy law, information, and computer science to identify a set of requirements and operational guidelines focused on security and sustainability. Taken together, the requirements and guidelines form the foundation of the design and implementation of the BEHAPP behavioral monitoring platform.Results: We present the base BEHAPP data collection and analysis flow and explain how the various concepts from security and sustainability are addressed in the design.Conclusions: Digital phenotyping initiatives are steadily maturing. This study helps the field and surrounding stakeholders to reflect upon and progress toward secure and sustainable operation of digital phenotyping–driven research

Contextual factors, knowledge processes and performance in global sourcing of IT services: An investigation in China

Copyright @ 2011, IGI Global. Copying or distributing in print or electronic forms without written permission of IGI Global is prohibited. Reuse of this article has been approved by the publisher.In this paper, the authors explore the influences of two major contextual factors—supplier team members’ cultural understanding and trust relationship—on knowledge processes and performance in global sourcing of IT services. The authors discuss a joint investigation conducted by a cross-cultural research team in China. Cultural understanding is measured by individualism with guanxi and mianzi, two Chinese cultural concepts, and trust relationship is measured by adjusting trust, a notion reflecting the uniqueness of the Chinese people. Knowledge processes are characterized by knowledge sharing. Performance is measured by the outcomes of global sourcing, which is represented by product success and personal satisfaction. Data are collected in 13 companies in Xi’an Software Park, with 200 structured questionnaires distributed to knowledge workers. The results of quantitative data analysis indicate that cultural understanding influences trust relationship greatly, as well as knowledge sharing and performance in global sourcing of IT services. Trust relationship significantly impacts knowledge sharing, whereas trust relationship and knowledge sharing have no impact on performance. This study suggests that special aspects of the Chinese context have significant direct impacts on knowledge processes while no direct and immediate impacts on performance in global sourcing of IT services.National Natural Science Foundation of China, Program for Humanity and Social Science Research, Program for New Century Excellent Talents in University in China and Brunel University's Research Development Fund
