Abstract Background: Inappropriate use of antimicrobial has resulted in some great public health concerns, such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Although the effects of clinical guidelines in standardizing clinical practice, controlling costs and reducing medical risks have been proved, the CPGs on antimicrobial hasn’t been widely applied in China yet. Furthermore, the influencing mechanism for the intention to the use of CPGs on antimicrobial remains largely unknown. Methods: By summarizing the relevant literature, the research model and self-administered questionnaire were developed. A national cross-sectional survey was conducted among physicians at tertiary general hospitals in the eastern, central, and western parts of China. Results: A total of 644 valid questionnaires were collected. The results of reliability and validity analysis showed the questionnaire was acceptable. The analyses of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed the proposed model fitted the data well with favorable values of fit indices. SEM results also revealed that seven determinants influence the intention to the use of CPGs on antimicrobial, including attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN), perceived risk (PR), relative advantage (RA), ease of use (EOU), top management support (TMS) and organization & implementation (OI). Conclusions: The findings of this study revealed the significance of multifaceted factors to enhance the intention to use CPGs on antimicrobial. These findings will not only contribute to the development of targeted intervention strategies on promoting the use of CPGs on antimicrobial, but also provide insights for future studies about physicians’ adoption behaviors on certain health services or products.

Abstract Background With inappropriate use of antimicrobials becoming a great public health concern globally, the issue of applying clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to regulate the rational use of antimicrobials has attracted increasing attention. Taking tertiary general hospitals in China for example, this study aimed to identify factors to investigate the comprehensive influencing mechanism for physicians’ intention to use CPGs on antimicrobials. Methods Based on the integration of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and Technology-Organization-Environment framework (TOE), a questionnaire survey was conducted covering potential determinants of affecting physicians’ intentions to use CPGs on antimicrobials at the individual level (attitude, subjective norms and perceived risk), technical level (relative advantage and ease of use), and organizational level (top management support and organizational implementation). Data were collected from 644 physicians in tertiary general hospitals in eastern, central and western China, which were obtained by multi-stage random sampling. The structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to link three-level factors with physicians’ behavioral intentions. Results The majority of the participants (94.57%) showed a positive tendency toward intention to use CPGs on antimicrobials. The reliability and validity analysis showed the questionnaire developed from the theoretical model was acceptable. SEM results revealed physicians’ intentions to use CPGs on antimicrobials was associated with attitude (β = 0.166, p < 0.05), subjective norms (β = 0.244, p < 0.05), perceived risk (β = − 0.113, p < 0.05), relative advantage (β = 0.307, p < 0.01), top management support (β = 0.200, p < 0.05) and organizational implementation (β = 0.176, p < 0.05). Besides, subjective norms, perceived risk, relative advantage, ease of use, and top management support showed their mediating effects from large to small on the intentions, which were 0.215, 0.140, 0.103, 0.088, − 0.020, respectively. Conclusions This study revealed the significance of multifaceted factors to enhance the intention to use CPGs on antimicrobials. These findings will not only contribute to the development of targeted intervention strategies on promoting the use of CPGs on antimicrobials, but also provide insights for future studies about physicians’ adoption behaviors on certain health services or products.

The Impact

FinTech rises as a faster, easier, and cheaper alternative to conventional financial products and services in Indonesia. The largest FinTech sub-segment in Indonesia is payment systems, representing over 30% of overall FinTech startup community. Consumer confidence and trust are essential to acquire and retain users and increase transaction volumes for FinTech companies. Therefore, in the expectation that a better understanding of factors that shape consumer behavior can promote the development of FinTech payment system, the goal of this research was to examine consumer perceived risks and trust in FinTech payment systems in Indonesia. The data generated from 175 respondents were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Using trust as the mediating variable, this research concludes that there is a significant relationship between perceived risk and intention to use Fintech payments. Perceived ease of use is also found to be the antecedent of trust. In addition to that, this study also suggests that consumer trust and intention have positive impacts on a good evaluation of FinTech payment with objective opinions on the future of FinTech payment.

Mobile augmented reality (AR) based applications enable digital content to be connected with the user’s real world surroundings. To begin with, the current types of consumer-level applications are introduced. The main purpose of the chapter is to study the adoption and perceived strengths and weaknesses of mobile AR-based applications by analyzing quantitative and qualitative responses of 90 actual users. Diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory is adopted with structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the intention to use such applications. Perceived strengths and weaknesses, mentioned by the users, are analyzed by qualitative coding. Results indicate that the constructs of diffusion of innovations theory are able to explain 67.7% of variance for the intention to use AR-based applications. Relative advantage, ease of use, and observability are significant factors determining use intentions. The strengths and weaknesses of applications are related to content, features, ease of use, technology and hardware, enjoyment, and concept.

This study examined the factors that influence consumers’ acceptance and use of self-service technology by integrating a ground theory model such as the technology acceptance model and the theory of innovation adoption. The variables that affect consumers’ attitudes and intentions were investigated; this included perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, relative advantage, complexity and knowledge. Further, the variables from the resistance theory, which consist of usage barriers and ability, were investigated. Interviews and surveys were conducted with two business operators that provide TVM services; eight hundred online and offline consumers who experienced the TVMs were selected as a sample. The research model of this study was developed, and the correlations between the variables analyzed, using structural equation modeling. Our results confirm that the factors such as relative advantage, knowledge, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use positively affected the attitude and intention toward using the TVM; factors such as usage barriers and complexity negatively impacted the intention to use the top-up machine. These results can be used as baseline data for developing or designing self-service technology. Entrepreneurs should consider these factors to make technology continue to be recognized and persisted in the use of technology.

Payment Services

Previous studies of mobile payment (m-payment) services have primarily focused on a single group of adopters. This study identifies the factors that influence an individual’s intention to use m-payment services and compares groups of current users (adopters) with potential users (non-adopters). A research model that reflects the behavioral intention to use m-payment services is developed and empirically tested using structural equation modeling on a data set consisting of 529 potential users and 256 current users of m-payment services in Thailand. The results show that the factors that influence current users’ intentions to use m-payment services are compatibility, subjective norms, perceived trust, and perceived cost. Subjective norms, compatibility, ease of use, and perceived risk influenced potential users’ intentions to use m-payment. Subjective norms and perceived risk had a stronger influence on potential users, while perceived cost had a stronger influence on current users, in terms of their intentions to use m-payment services. Discussions, limitations, and recommendations for future research are addressed.

Purpose Electronic library (E-library) is a form of computer mediated system that uses electronic media, such as Web/internet devices and distributes resources to improve on the quality of teaching and learning. Students’ use of e-library for learning is essential and as such the government has invested hugely into its subscription for several university libraries in Ghana. However, most university students feel reluctant to use the e-library resources for their studies. The purpose of this paper is therefore to examine the factors that influence students’ intention to use e-library resources for their studies. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaire was used to collect data from 200 students from one Technical University in Ghana. Structural equation modeling (SmartPLS) was used to analyze the data. Findings The study found that accessibility, attitude, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and relevance to studies have positive significant effect on students’ attitude to use e-library. In addition, self-efficacy, subjective norm and attitude have positive significant influence on students’ intention to use e-library. Research limitations/implications Although the sample frame used for this study may be unique, but the total amount of data collected was limited to providing the general representative of the Ghanaian students in one particular university. Other researchers may consider collecting data from other universities to extend the sample frame for a larger sample size of students. Practical implications Academic administrators need to organize training and workshops on how to use the e-library portal for their search and other didactic assignments. Most importantly, students should be given IT or internet tutorials as foundation for the use of the e-library portal. Social implications Universities have to provide internet access such as hotspot and network routers at the labs, classrooms and other vantage points. It is believed that with these in place, adequate access to the internet would promote students’ engagement on the e-library facility. Originality/value The study examines the factors that influence students’ intention to use e-library resources for their studies in Ghana.
