摘要：We investigate the changing causal relationships between cyberloafing behavior and its antecedents after the announcement of formal organizational controls that, unlike informal controls, are officially imposed by organizations. Drawing on Akers's social learning theory, we first propose neutralization, perceived risk, past cyberloafing, and peer cyberloafing as antecedents of cyberloafing. We then develop a theoretical account of how their impacts change from before to after the announcement ...

摘要：This study investigates how the attributes of online social platforms (e.g., open vs. closed, symmetric vs. asymmetric social networks) and user preferences regarding platform diversity (e.g., single-homing vs. multi-homing) moderate the influence of homophily on user behaviors across varied social segments. On the basis of panel data, we delve into the interplay among homophily, structural diversities across various online social networking services (SNSs), and users' homing preferences in su...

摘要：We investigate how information and communication technology (ICT) service providers can win back disadopters of an earlier generation of technology when a new technology generation appears on the market. Integrating prior research on consumers' defensive bias, knowledge accessibility, diffusion of innovation, and technology adoption, we developed a model to predict disadopters' intention to readopt a technology. We postulate that the primary reason for disadoption moderates the impacts of both...

摘要：Online social networks (OSNs) continue to have a transformative influence on how people socialize, partially because they help facilitate social contact that is crucial to fulfilling an innate need to belong. However, there is increasing evidence that some users suffer from OSN addiction, expressed as OSN obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Using the need-to-belong theory as our foundation, we seek a deeper understanding of the relationship between OSN belongingness and OSN OCD by examining t...

摘要：Digital services need access to consumers' data to improve service quality and to generate revenues. However, it remains unclear how such services should be configured to facilitate consumers' willingness to share personal information. Prior studies discuss an influence of selected individual traits or service configurations, including transparency features and service personalization. This study aims at uncovering how interactions among individuals' privacy valuation, transparency features, a...

摘要：Internet-enabled reverse auctions (RAs) are touted as a means of making the procurement process more effective and efficient, but as is often the case with information technology (IT), there can be risks that managers need to be aware of and mitigate in order to realize the benefits. Using the Delphi methodology followed by semistructured interviews, we identify buyer and supplier perspectives on risk factors associated with RAs and the controls that can address key risk factors. We find that ...

摘要：With computer security spending on the rise, organizations seem to have accepted the notion that buying more-and more expensive-defenses allows them to better protect their computer systems. In the context of complex computer systems, however, defenses can also have the opposite effect, creating new, unforeseen vulnerabilities in the systems they are intended to protect. Advocacy for defense-in-depth and diverse security measures has contributed to this more is better mentality for defending c...

摘要：Many software firms, especially mobile app providers, offer perpetually free basic products to users, but premiums are charged for access to the additional features or functionalities. While the free offering helps capture potential customers, it might cannibalize the sales of premium goods or services. This paper adopts a game theoretical approach to examine the impact of free offering on the competition between two firms in the presence of network effects. The firms can either offer a free c...

摘要：We analyze the alignment between information processing needs and capacities. First, we explore the relationship between firms' vertical and horizontal boundaries and information technology (IT) capabilities. The literature postulates that less internalization leads firms to invest more in information technology. However, we argue that the use of taper integration and diversification increases the demand for IT-based resources such as IT infrastructure and IT human resources. Second, we propos...
