Abstract:

New information systems will only improve organisational performance if they are accepted and used to their full capacity. It is therefore important to be able to understand, explain and predict the factors affecting technology acceptance. One model which has been successful at this is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, 1986). This study tests an extension of the TAM in a mandatory usage environment. The extended TAM proposed here incorporates two new independent measures; past behaviour and perceived behavioural control. Participants were 285 members of an Australian Government Depa

Abstract:

A series of studies aimed to examine the role of perceived behavioural control in Ajzen's (1985) Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) in a physical activity context with children aged 12-14 years. A broader, more differentiated role of perceived control was envisaged in the theory based on the conceptualisation of control and perceived competence put forward by Skinner (1995). The first two studies examined the role of control with respect to the TPB model variables and past behaviour. Study 1 investigated the relations between intention, behaviour, attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavi

Abstract:

This study adopts the theory of planned behavior to understand and influence auditors’ knowledge-sharing behavior. Ajzen (1991) indicates that persuasive communications, such as belief-targeted messages, can be used as behavioral interventions to alter intentions and behaviors. Thus, this study develops and evaluates the effectiveness of behavioral interventions (belief-targeted messages) in encouraging auditors’ knowledge-sharing behavior. This study uses a 2×2 between-participants design. Arguments targeting behavioral beliefs and arguments targeting normative beliefs are manipulated. Consis

Abstract:

The aim of the current study is to examine the potential parenting factors and mediating mechanisms that lead to ego-depletion within the framework of Self-Determination Theory.

Moreover, recent studies have shown that as compared to introjected regulation, autonomous regulation depletes less ego-resource. Thus, it was expected that parental psy

Background: Less than half of Americans meet the recommendation of leisure-time physical activity (PA) of 150 minutes (CDC, 2012). A number of efficacious programs have been developed, and those that are based on theory are more effective. However, it is often difficult to determine the mechanisms of effect through meditational analyses. This is particularly an issue when a theory-based intervention is effective but theoretically hypothesized meditational relationships are not found. One reason for the lack of relationship could be the methods used to assess different theoretical constructs. T

Abstract:

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal investigar o efeito da sinalização de qualidade na expectativa de recuperação ante uma falha no contexto de serviços. As expectativas de recuperação são as crenças que os clientes têm sobre o nível de recuperação adequado depois de uma falha no serviço, e a percepção de qualidade é considerada um dos seus antecedentes. A teoria da sinalização indica que os sinais são ações que a empresa pode realizar para transmitir informações sobre a qualidade dos seus produtos.

Abstract:

While online shopping has high social acceptance and support from mature related industries in China, a considerable number of consumers choose to shop offline. The purpose of this study is to explore the specific factors that give consumers the intentions to shop offline. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is adopted as the theoretical framework to give a holistic view of intention-forming. Multiple-case studies are performed in this qualitative research. We study the contents of the interviews via TPB. Fifteen Chinese consumers take part in the research as the respondents in semi-structure

However, whereas multiple studies investigate consumers’ acceptance of insect-based products, little is known about their purchase intentions. Purpose: The purpose of this study is t
