摘要:In pursuit of notable reputations, organizations commonly engage their stakeholders using various online mechanisms. While reputation signaling via online user engagement is commonplace, its implications in the context of user-generated content (UGC) remain largely unaddressed. This study empirically explores the impact of UGC on hospital reputational dynamics. A unique panel dataset was analyzed using a lagged model approach to determine the effects of signals of quality, awareness, and conte...

摘要:Prior research has shown that both advice generated through algorithms and advice resulting from averaging peers' input can impact users' decision-making. However, it is not clear which advice type is more closely followed and if changes in decision-making should be attributed to the source or the content of the advice. We examine the effects of algorithmic and social advice on decision-making in the context of an online retirement saving system. By varying both the advice's message and the at...

摘要:The reach and impact of outsourcing has grown rapidly to include a variety of strategic objectives. Significant issues of cooperation and coordination in strategic outsourcing necessitate investments in formal controls that specify and monitor execution of the outsourced task to mitigate unforeseen contingencies and improve predictability in the attainment of desirable goals. In this study, we investigate the nature of formal controls in strategic outsourcing contracts and their impact on clie...

摘要:In this study, we estimate the effect of online following, a basic form of online social interaction, on members' contributions in open source software (OSS) communities, using a unique longitudinal data set containing information on over 4 million OSS developers and their social interactions over 7 years. We find that obtaining new followers in the previous month has a significant positive effect on developers' level of contribution in the current month. The effect carries over to the next mo...

摘要:Previous research in software product development used the lens of escalation of commitment to study the problem of adhering to original product launch dates and suggested that decisions related to launching new products can be particularly prone to escalation of commitment because they involve a high level of uncertainty and large financial stakes. In this study, we propose perspective-taking as a de-escalation tactic to reduce product managers' commitment to the original product launch date ...

摘要:In an attempt to take advantage of distributed knowledge, organizations are increasingly relying on dispersed teams--teams of individuals who primarily utilize information and communication technology (ICT) to collaborate to achieve a shared objective. Team context has often been recognized as an important factor in affecting performance in dispersed team settings. Recent research has called for the consideration of intra-team justice climate in dispersed teams; yet, how it shapes performance ...

摘要:Using eye-tracking field experiments, we examine the dynamics underlying consumers' attention-allocation behaviors in online search, with focus on attention adjustment, attention renewal, and equilibrium seeking. In particular, we probed into how consumers' e-commerce search behaviors vary when they are exposed to an advertisement during a search and when they are not. The findings from the two separate experiments suggest that consumers' attention span decreases exponentially, instead of line...

摘要:Personalized point-of-interest (POI) recommendation is important to location-based social networks (LBSNs) for helping users to explore new places and for helping third-party services to launch targeted advertisements. Discovering effective features or representations from check-in data is the key to POI recommendation. Deep learning is a representation-learning method with multiple levels for discovering intrinsic features to better represent user preferences. We analyzed users' check-in beha...

摘要:Crowdworkers, such as Mturk workers, face challenging work conditions, including low pay and unfair treatment. To overcome a lack of means to share information with other workers, they often self-organize in independent online communities, for example, TurkerNation. Although prior research has explored both the crowdwork and online community contexts, it has largely ignored crowdworkers' dual-context roles. This research provides evidence for the dual-context phenomenon. We propose three theor...
