The present study aimed at testing a model developed to uncover the relationships among social media addiction, cognitive absorption, and self-esteem. This studys’ sample consisted of 361 university students, 198 of whom were females, and 163 were males. Data were collected using the Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS), the Cognitive Absorption Scale (CAS), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between cognitive absorption and social media addiction; thus, cognitive absorption predicted social media addiction. A negative and significant relationship between self-esteem and social media addiction was also found; thus, self-esteem predicted social media addiction.

Sampel yang diteliti adalah sejumlah 190 responden dengan mengkalikan jumlah parameter yaitu 19x10=190. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan random sampling. Teknik análisis menggunakan Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan content creation, content sharing, conneting dan community bulding berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap kemampuan inovasi. Content creation dan content sharing berpengaruh positif tidak signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian. Conneting, community bulding dan kemampuan inovasi berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap keputusan pembelian. Pengaruh tidak langsung lebih besar dibandingkan pengaruh langsung, sehingga dengan menggunakan kemampuan inovasi sebagai variabel mediasi adalah tepat. Keywords: Content creation, Content sharing, Conecting, Community Building, Kemampuan Inovasi, Keputusan Pembelian


Due to the rise of media technology and the abundance of Social Media platforms, healthcare awareness and information gathering are simple, easy, and efficient. This study also aims to investigate the role of Social Media to obtain Coivd-19 information and updates. The researcher used the cross-sectional study design and selected a sample of n= 265 respondents from Islamabad, Pakistan. Further, to validate the phenomenon, the researcher developed and tested the self-structured model using Structural Equation Modelling. The SEM analysis involved Internal consistency assessments, Coefficients of Determination R2, and Path Analysis. Findings indicated a strong significant relationship between Social Media, Ease of Access (p≥ .000), Ease of Use (p≥ .011), Internet Availability (p≥ .013), and Information Acceptance (p≥ .042). Thus the results revealed a significant role of Social Media to spread Covid-19 awareness reinforcing positive healthcare attitudes among the public. Therefore, the researcher suggests more studies on the proposed research model, to scrutinize the role of the Social Media infodemic during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to use role expectation theory to identify potential determinants of user voting avoidance on mobile social media. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey of 602 WeChat users, and the proposed model was analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings Results indicate that user voting avoidance was positively influenced by unfair competition, perceived inauthenticity, perceived information insecurity, over-consumption of renqing (a unique Chinese human relation) and organisation placement in the context of mobile social media. Originality/value This study illustrates mobile user voting avoidance from the perspective of role expectation theory and clarifies the importance of avoidance in current voting research.

The study was largely quantitative and employed the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as its theoretical lens. The target population was 31,157 consisting of library staff and library patrons from four academic libraries in Ghana. Sampling tables and census sampling techniques were used to select a sample size of 767 respondents. Adopting a cross-sectional survey design, the study used a pre-tested questionnaire to collect data from the sampled respondents. Statistical analyses were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. The structural equation modelling technique was further used to estimate the relationships and correlations between the theoretical constructs from the UTAUT to understand behavioural intentions and use behaviour of social media in the academic libraries. The study found that performance expectancy, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions have significant influence on the intention to use and subsequent use of social media in academic libraries in Ghana.

<p>Perkembangan era modern dan peningkatan Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) per kapita mengubah perilaku konsumsi masyarakat Indonesia. Masyarakat Indonesia menyadari pentingnya hidup sehat dengan mengkonsumsi sayuran organik. Kenaikan biaya produksi sebagai akibat dari peningkatan kualitas produk menyebabkan harga jual sayuran organik di pasaran meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik konsumen yang melakukan pembelian sayuran organik dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif, menghitung nilai kesediaan membayar (WTP) konsumen dengan menggunakan metode <em>Contingent Valuation Method (CVM),</em><em> </em>dan menganalisa faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kesediaan membayar menggunakan <em>Structural Equation Modelling (</em><em>SEM) </em>dengan LISREL. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan nilai rata-rata WTP untuk kol sebesar Rp 18 738, selada sebesar Rp 30.048, brokoli sebesar Rp 40 250, pakchoy sebesar Rp 24 368 dan wortel sebesar Rp 19 820. Sikap dan hambatan berpengaruh signifikan pada WTP sedangkan <em>Socio Economic Status</em><em> </em>(SES) tidak memiliki  pengaruh signifikan.</p>Kata kunci: CVM, sayuran organik, SEM, WTP
