This study aims to investigate motivational factors and motivation hindering factors of online shopping via online open market platforms. For a comprehensive exploration, the response data were collected from a total of 417 Korean consumers before conducting a hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that the effects of motivation factors on purchasing intention were all supported. As for moderating effects of concerns for e-commerce, privacy concerns by time saving, perceived ease of use, and security concerns by cost saving were found to be statistically significant. Privacy concerns by cost saving and business integrity concerns by time saving were also found to be statistically significant, but had a positive effect as opposed to an initial prediction. The finding denotes that, in order to reduce concerns for e-commerce, consumers may prefer using the online shops they can trust based on their previous shopping experience. Various concerns identified and analyzed in this study are clues to better understanding what potentially motivates or obstructs consumers to shop online, thereby helping businesses thrive in the online open market.

With the widespread use of smartphones, strategic marketing of smartphones has become the focus of related brands. Although creating brand loyalty is an important factor of global strategic marketing and re-purchase intention, little research investigated the antecedent of smartphone's brand loyalty and repurchase intention. The purposes of this study are to investigate what are the antecedent brand loyalty and re-purchase intention in smartphone marketing. In the light of the literature and for this purpose; the effects of perceived value factor (perceived ease of use, perceived irreplaceability), utilitarian factor (system quality), hedonic factor (visual design), and consumer’s interest factor (technology consciousness) on brand loyalty and repurchase intention were investigated in an integrated model. The results of the analysis show that smartphone's re-purchase intention is largely determined by brand loyalty, perceived ease of use, perceived irreplaceability, system quality, visual design, and technology consciousness. Moreover, analysis results demonstrate that perceived irreplaceability, system quality, and visual design affect brand loyalty.

BACKGROUND In China, for most diabetic patients, wearable activity trackers are an innovative product that has not yet been generally accepted and used. Many studies have proved personality traits to affect patients' self-management behavior with chronic diseases, the willingness to adopt medical services, and willingness to use mobile healthcare equipment. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the influence of personality traits of type 2 diabetes patients on the use intention of the intelligent wearable device -- wearable activity trackers METHODS A self-designed questionnaire and Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory brief version (CBF-PI-B) were used to investigate type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from 22 community health service stations affiliated to 4 community health service centers in Tongzhou District and Shunyi District of Beijing. RESULTS A total of 728 cases were included in this study. Monofactor analysis indicated differences between patients with different genders in neuroticism, individual innovation, and behavioral intention, differences between patients with different ages in neuroticism, openness, individual innovation, and privacy concerns, differences between patients with different degree of education in openness, extraversion, perceived ease of use, the individual innovation and social image, and differences between patients with different income levels in openness, extraversion, perceived ease of use and individual innovation. The structural equation showed that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, social image, and privacy concern had direct effects on behavioral intention (β=0.158, 0.223, 0.151, -0.657). Neuroticism had a positive impact on social image and privacy concerns (β=0.144, 0.154). Conscientiousness and openness had a positive influence on perceived ease of use (β=0.147, 0.142). Agreeableness showed negative impacts on both perceived ease of use and privacy concerns (β=-0.108, -0.251). Openness and extroversion both had a positive impact on individual innovation (β=0.149, 0.180) while openness generated a positive influence on social image (β=0.189). CONCLUSIONS Different personality traits had influences on individual innovation, privacy concerns and social image, and indirectly affect patients’ intention to use wearable activity trackers. Therefore, personalized guidance and health education could be carried out according to different personality traits when using intelligent wearable devices in the intervention of patients with type 2 diabetes.

This research suggests a model to explain mobile purchase intention via smartphones based on the technology acceptance model to which specific variables to the m-commerce context were added: perceived risk, innovativeness, ubiquity, and trust in mobile internet. To that aim, a quantitative study was conducted with 400 French mobile users (200 buyers and 200 non-buyers) and was based on a purchase simulation of a train ticket on a mobile site up to the point of payment. The results show that the usefulness (explained by the innovativeness, the ubiquity and trust toward mobile Internet) and the perceived risk (explained by the innovativeness) have an impact on the intention to use unlike the perceived ease of use.

Mobile health (mHealth) services have recently been receiving increasing attention. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how users accept and adopt mobile medical treatment (MMT) services, some of the most promising mHealth services that aim to extend the patient–physician relationship beyond the conventional clinic environment. To fill this research gap, this study proposes a research model for predicting consumers’ acceptance behavior toward MMT services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A survey was conducted among 303 Chinese MMT service users to evaluate the proposed model and relevant hypotheses using partial least squares. Several key findings were summarized from the results: (1) the attitude toward using MMT, technology anxiety, and trust are significantly associated with users’ behavioral intention to use MMT services; (2) the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust significantly influence users’ attitude toward using MMT services; (3) the perceived interactivity, perceived personalization, and privacy concerns have significant impacts on users’ perceptions of ease of use, usefulness, and trust toward MMT services. The current findings have both theoretical and practical implications that may guide practitioners and researchers to better understand consumers’ acceptance of MMT services.

The rapid development of short-video social network platforms provides us with an opportunity to conduct health-related advertising and recommendation. However, so far, there are no empirical evidence on whether users are willing to accept health-related short-video advertisements. Here, acceptance refers to purchase intention, meaning that users will read short-video ads, share ads with others, or even open the product link embedded in ads to purchase the product. In this paper, we make the first attempt to model and quantify user acceptance of health-related short-video advertisements. Particularly, we propose a new research model that enhances the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with two new designs. First, we propose four new antecedents including social interaction, intrusiveness, informativeness, and relevance into the original TAM to reflect the features of short-video social networks. Second, we introduce two mediator variables including perceived usefulness and attitude so that we can better study how different factors affect user acceptance of health-related short-video ads. We perform a survey on the Internet and conduct an empirical analysis of the surveyed data. The results show that the four antecedents as well as the perceived ease of use have significant influences on perceived usefulness, attitude, and purchase intention. Further, perceived usefulness plays a valid mediating role in attitude and purchase intention. We also found that users’ perceived ease of use on health-related short-video ads cannot significantly predict users’ attitudes toward ads. This is a new finding in social media-oriented ads. Finally, we integrate the empirical findings and present reasonable suggestions for advertisers and marketers to promote health-related short-video ads.
