An Investigation of the Factors that Influence User Acceptance of Mobile information Systems in the Workplace

<p>Mobile information systems (IS) such as field force automation and mobile office applications are rapidly being adopted by a large number of organizations. Despite its popularity and widespread adoption, the body of knowledge regarding user acceptance of mobile information systems in the workplace still is largely anecdotal. The purpose of this study was to develop and rigorously test a model of the factors that influence user acceptance of mobile information systems in the workplace. A thorough review of relevant literature in electronic business, mobile business, user acceptance of technology and user acceptance of mobile technology provided the basis for the development of the conceptual model that guided this research. The model hypothesized that temporal, spatial and structural characteristics of the portfolio of tasks performed by users of mobile information systems in the workplace (namely, temporal requirements of job, spatial dispersion of job, spatial dependence of job, job structuredness and job interdependence) would influence their perceived individual need for mobile information systems (PINMIS). It also suggested that the perceived individual need for mobile IS would influence the performance expectancy as well as intention to use mobile IS. In addition, the model posed that system portability would influence effort expectancy and intention to use mobile IS. In order to develop a research instrument, construct domains were specified and an initial set of items was generated. This was followed by an extensive purification process which consisted of card sorting and expert review rounds, survey pre-tests as well as a pilot study with 234 respondents from a large telecommunications company in New Zealand. The results obtained in this stage helped to refine the measurements and provided the foundations for the main study. The main study was based on a survey with 309 respondents from a wide range of organizations in New Zealand. Using Partial-Least-Squares (PLS) the data collected in the main study was used to test the model. The model was successfully validated and statistically significant evidence was provided that temporal requirements of job, spatial dispersion of job, spatial freedom of job and job interdependence positively influenced PINMIS. On the other hand, job structuredness did not significantly influence PINMIS. It was also found that PINMIS significantly influences performance expectancy and that system portability has a positive effect over effort expectancy as well as intentions to use mobile IS.</p>

College English Smart Classroom Teaching Model Based on Artificial Intelligence Technology in Mobile Information Systems

With the development of mobile information, artificial intelligence technology has developed rapidly, which is changing everything in our life. Meanwhile, smart education appeared and attracted much attention; however, there is still a lack of systematic discussion on how to take the road of artificial intelligence plus smart classroom. In order to promote the intelligent development of education, this article mainly talks about the application of artificial intelligence technology to college English smart classrooms. In the process of teaching, a new teaching model of college English smart classroom was designed, and the teaching model was carried out through the experimental class and the survey results of the students. The survey results show that students’ satisfaction with this teaching model is as high as 80%.

Design Of Mobile-base Bali Regional Food Crops Recommendation Information System

Plant food is a necessary staple of each human being, in the process of cultivation is often the case things are not in want as failed harvests. These problems are caused by various factors such as weather that is not suitable for the needs of the plant or environmental conditions that are not suitable for its growth. Based on the problem that it takes a system of information that can provide information about the needs of that required by a plant food from the weather and environment of his life. The article will discuss the design of the application system of information on food crops to the area of Bali -based applications mobile. Keywords: Applications, Mobile, Information Systems, Food Crops, Weather, Environmental Conditions.

Mobile Information Systems Usage and Doctor-Patient Relationships: An Empirical Study in China

How to improve the doctor-patient relationship has been a continuing topic in academia and management and there have been several attempts to utilize online communications to facilitate healthcare. The application of information technology to create an “Internet + medical care” platform has upended the traditional medical service model in China. As an example of the application of the Internet by the healthcare system, this paper investigates a mobile online appointment system used by hospitals. Data on system use came from questionnaires submitted by 225 patients and analyzed by the structural equation model method. The results showed that patients perceived the hospital’s online appointment system as an attempt at transparency to which they reacted positively. The patients’ perception of transparency promoted trust in the hospital and the doctors and positively affected their feelings of satisfaction, which, of course, improved the doctor-patient relationship. Patients’ perceptions of transparency, trust in the hospitals and doctors, and feelings of satisfaction played a partial mediator role between the availability of an online appointment system and better doctor-patient relationships. There were significant gender differences among patients in terms of their feelings of trust and satisfaction with the new appointment method and whether it really improved the doctor-patient relationship.
