User-Technology Interaction

One of the major challenges for e-commerce transactions and e-payments consolidation is related to micropayments. Due to their cost and ease of use, companies are reluctant to implement solutions focused on micropayments. To face this challenge and keep modernising the Brazilian financial sector and increase competition, Brazilian Central Bank has created PIX, a platform oriented to enable digital transfers 24/7 free for the user. The adoption of this platform has been a great success, especially among younger users, who popularise PIX with an unusual goal: flirting. Given that adaptive structuration theory (AST) states usages of technological artefacts diverse from the previously conceived, this chapter aims to discuss the adoption of micropayment platforms, remarking unplanned uses of the system by consumers. For this purpose, the authors analysed secondary data about the adoption of PIX and text mining focused on newspapers and magazine articles related to the use of PIX by the young.

Increased Employee Productivity with The Application of e-HRM

This research examines the role of e-HRM (electronic Human Resources Management) in improving employee productivity in higher education. The goal of this empirical study is to confirm and examine this e-HRM usage in higher education. Adaptive structuration theory (AST) is used, to understand the role of e-HRM in improving employee productivity. social factors and technological characteristics interact to affect group outcomes. AST argues that technology usage provides social structures to engage employees in social interaction that both enable and constrain human action within the firm. Research models are analyzed using linear regression and the result is indeed finding a positive effect of e-HRM usage on employee productivity that supports AST. E-HRM can help to streamline operational HRM activities; accelerate HR processes; improve communication between stakeholders include existed employees, potential employees, and management; reduce administrative tasks and HR staff headcount; and capture, create and transfer some HR knowledge more accurately and speedily for employee training and development. These advantages can help to increase employee productivity.

Idea Management System Application Type Impact on Idea Quantity

Idea management system application considers idea quantity as the key to idea management success. The purpose of this paper is to examine how different idea management system application types impact idea management system results. The authors conducted empirical research by conducting a survey based on adaptive structuration theory framework. In the research paper, an analysis of 447 responses was included. The study shows how to separate idea management system application types impact by idea quantity The target group consisting of commercially available web-based idea management system applied enterprises bias present in the survey research may limit the generalisability of the results. The study contributes to the discussion about the idea management system application type impact on the idea management results by showing that different idea management system application types lead to different idea management results.

Analisis Transaksi Menggunakan Go-Pay Pada Kedai Bakso Di Kota Malang

Go-Pay is a form of Fintech, which is currently a trend both in terms of equipment and business. Its practical, safe and easy use encourages people to use this service. Go-Pay is currently aspired to be a one-stop service application where users can order various types of services from just one application.The purpose of this study was to determine how the pattern of use of Go-Pay by Kedai Bakso and the factors that support and inhibit its use. To get these results, Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST) is used because the structure contained in this model can be modified according to the needs of the object under study In implementing fintech, there were needs that had arisen before the store manager finally decided to implement fintech. The decision was supported by offers from service providers, as well as information from fellow business actors. After implementing fintech, costs arise as a result of implementing services. So businesses need to make price adjustments to their products. In the end, businesses maintain services that benefit their business. Keyword: fintech, payment, transaction, umkm

Understanding adaptive information seeking in the context of microblogging from the cognitive switching perspective

Drawing on adaptive structuration theory and cognitive switching theory, this study develops a research model exploring the effects of cognitive switching stimuli on adaptive information seeking and the moderating effects of information need and personal innovativeness in information technologies. Data collected from microblogging users were used to test the model. The findings suggest that other people’s use, discrepancies, and deliberate initiatives each have significant positive effects on trying new features to seek information. Other people’s use which essentially reflects the nature of learning from observing other people is the most important determinant. Meanwhile, information need and personal innovativeness in IT each positively moderate the effect of other people’s use on trying new features to seek information. This study contributes to theory by examining adaptive information seeking in the context of microblogging which has been largely overlooked by prior literature. The findings and more implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Assessing the cognitive and communicative properties of Facebook Reactions and Likes as lightweight feedback cues

The emergence of Facebook Reactions provides new opportunities to explore the nature of paralinguistic digital affordances (PDAs; lightweight one-click social media response cues). Guided by adaptive structuration theory and the concept of cognitive automaticity, a survey of 255 individuals aged 18–24 assessed the cognitive processes and communicative meanings associated with the provision of Facebook Reactions and Likes. Although Like and Reaction cues (excluding Angry) were all identified as more literal in meaning than not, specific results indicated: (a) Likes were perceived more faithfully than Reactions; (b) the Like and Love cues were labeled as the most faithful; and (c) Reactions were perceived as more deliberate and less automatic communicative behaviors than Likes. Collective results suggest social media platforms that offer multiple one-click response cues (e.g., Facebook) can afford different communicative opportunities than platforms with a single PDA response option, presenting challenges for future cross-platform research addressing lightweight response cues.

Understanding the Social Structure of Academic Social Networking Sites: The Case of ResearchGate

The goal of ResearchGate (RG) is to help users exchange scholarly information around the world. This study drew on adaptive structuration theory (AST) to investigate the social structure of RG, which had been largely overlooked by prior research. Data were crawled from RG and results were presented based on content analysis. For the social structure embedded in RG, the most frequent updates of structural features and spirit occurred in the first two years. Six representative updates for information exchange were analyzed and the newly embedded social structures were presented. For the social structure emerging in using RG, users were more willing to answer questions than ask questions, which countered intuition. Three categories were elicited to present the purpose and expectation of questions. Users were more willing to publish publications than publish projects. Compared with reading publications and projects published by others, users seldom commented on them. For the comparison between the two social structures, this paper analyzed and compared the two social structures in terms of three types of information exchange, finding that the social structure emerging in using RG differed from that embedded in RG. We suggest that this paper could potentially help the two social structures of RG promote the optimization of each other.
