摘要:Despite wearable self-tracking devices' potential to improve their users' health, they do not live up to that potential when users discontinue using them after short periods or use them in ineffective ways. To yield positive health effects, wearables must not only be used but also used effectively, that is, in a way that helps achieve the goals for using them. Although the literature on what can help to ensure effective use is conclusive, little is known about the dynamics that are at play onc...

摘要:Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered digital streamers are transforming live streaming by autonomously interacting with consumers to promote products in real time. Leveraging advancements in AI, virtual reality, and generative AI, these entities combine human-like visual design (form realism) and interactive capabilities (behavioral realism) to enhance consumer engagement. Despite their growing adoption, the economic impact of digital streamers on product sales and the optimal design strategie...

摘要:Gamification has been widely adopted to engage users in various domains. To improve the effectiveness of gamification systems, we propose a generic framework to design and fine-tune a gamification system. Our study focuses on a badge system and considers three major design elements, namely, volume (the number of badges), variety (the number of badge categories), and valence (high-tier badges). We characterize the dynamics of user-system interactions on Stack Overflow and conduct policy experim...

摘要:Management information systems (MIS) are increasingly used in all types of workplaces. Although they may be introduced to enhance productivity and performance, they frequently fail to live up to these expectations in practice. In this study, we develop a theoretical model based on the theory of effective MIS use and on the transparency paradox to explain how different facets of performance transparency shape the relationship between MIS use and employee work performance. This model acknowledge...

摘要:Over the last two decades, online crowdfunding platforms have facilitated fun- draising efforts to alleviate resource shortages across various sectors. As these platforms become increasingly important channels for bottom-up resource mobilization, it is essential to understand their vulnerability to shifts in public perception caused by top-down, off- platform events. In this paper, we examine the effect of an important top-down factor, leg- islative signals, on online giving behavior in the co...

摘要:Blockchain tokens have seen widespread adoption by users. Although prior work examines approaches for making tokens available to the public, for example, via initial coin offerings, airdrops, and initial token offerings, our understanding of how dualvalue digital artifacts diffuse within the same category remains limited, posing a challenge for theory and practice (e.g., start-ups and token creators), also carrying significant implications for ongoing policy discussions. Extant diffusion theor...

摘要:Livestream technology enriches consumers' online shopping experience, enabling streamers to demonstrate products in real time while interacting with a large number of consumers for product sales. However, tension arises between streamers' constrained service capacity and consumers' individual service demands on livestream selling platforms. Streamers can only handle a finite number of interactions and inquiries because of time and capacity constraints, whereas consumers expect immediate, tailo...

摘要:Online marketplaces, which facilitate transactions between consumers and sellers, have transformed the shopping experience across multiple product categories. Addressing the challenges related to shipping associated with online purchases of physical products, many marketplaces have introduced membership-based free shipping (MFS) programs and concomitantly invested heavily in their logistics and fulfillment capabilities. Seeking to monetize these capabilities, Amazon recently extended its progr...

摘要:An integral component of user participation in community-based platforms is giving likes to content posted by others. At the same time, online social participation differs from offline social participation in that online users are often allowed to create a virtual identity unrelated to their real-world identity. The objective of this study is to identify the motivations behind users' giving likes when their virtual identity (i.e., username) is hidden or shown. Specifically, we leverage a natur...

摘要:Most research designing novel predictive models, or employing existing ones, assumes that training and testing data are independent and identically distributed. In practice, the data encountered at serving time often deviate from the training distribution, leading to substantial performance degradation and potential design validity and/or biased measurement issues. This challenge is further complicated by the fact that the serving time data are frequently unavailable during model development. ...
