The Impact of Mobile Social Capital and IT Artifact Influence on IT Adoption: User-IT Artifact Interaction
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this research is to develop a research model that examines the impact of mobile social capital on technology adoption through IT artifact Influence. To do so, we suggest that mobile networks of practice as social actors affect technology use through the userIT artifact interaction in which mobile social capital lies, thus differentiating it from social capital and bestowing unique features induced by mobile technology. The research model was developed by utilizing social network theories and technology adoption models in order to explore the two research questions, 1) “Does mobile social capital affect IT artifact influence on users?” and 2) “Does IT artifact influence positively related to IT adoption?” Our pilot empirical test using a sample of 31university students offers preliminary support for this model. We believe our model extends our knowledge of (1) the impact of IT artifact influence on IT adoption, (2) mobile social capital in the IS discipline, and (3) the traditional theories related to technology adoption.

The environment meaning is one of the components in the city image that is formed under the influence of human factors and the artifact environment. So far, many research studies were performed on the impact of the artifact environment components on the environment meaning.

Myocardial perfusion SPECT is one of the most common imaging techniques performed in nuclear medicine departments. To avoid misleading interpretation, it is necessary to address the quality control and technical problems. The truncation artifact occurs when the patient size is large relative to the field of view of the camera, causing false perfusion defects in the LV myocardium, misinterpreted...
