psychology caused directly or indirectly by technology". With the rapid diffusion and penetration of information and communication technology, computer-related technostress attracts more and more attention from academic and professional fields. Based on the analysis of the inhibitors of the computer-related technostress, this paper proposes a conceptual framework of the impacts of inhibitors on...

This study is one of the few attempts to investigate students’ acceptance of an Internet-based learning medium (ILM). By integrating a motivational perspective into the technology acceptance model, our model captured both extrinsic (perceived usefulness and ease of use) and intrinsic (perceived enjoyment) motivators for explaining students’ intention to use the new learning medium. Data collect...

This research investigates the relationships between knowledge sharing, absorptive capacity, and innovation capability in Taiwan’s knowledge-intensive industries. We propose statistical hypotheses and a LISREL model to study these based on the data sampled from 170 Taiwanese firms, including electronic, financial insurance and medical industries, yielding 355 valid returned research samples. By...

Whereas measures of explained variance in a regression and an equation of a recursive structural equation model can be simply summarized by a standard R2 measure, this is not possible in nonrecursive models in which there are reciprocal interdependencies among variables. This article provides a general approach to defining variance explained in latent dependent variables of nonrecursive linear ...

The objective of this study is to empirically determine the role of constraints and dedication as drivers of relationship commitment as most of the existing work is of a conceptual nature only. We assess how and to which extent these two drivers fit into the established relationships between overall service quality, satisfaction, trust and commitment. Using LISREL, we estimate the conceptual mo...

a r t i c l e i n f o This study presents a structural equations model for the relationship between department chairs' social intelligence (SI) and faculty members' turnover intention (TI) at a state university in the United States. SI is defined as the ability to be aware of relevant social situations, to manage situational challenges effectively, to understand others' concerns and feelings, a...

This research tests and develops the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), introduced by Davis (1986), which attempts to explain end users’ attitudes to computing technologies. It introduces several new variables, including compatibility, user characteristics, system rating and the enduser computing satisfaction (EUCS) construct, a surrogate measure for IT success and acceptance. A questionnaire w...

Purpose – After identifying two kinds of internal knowledge transfer strategies, the purpose of this paper is to examine their effectiveness and whether they induce knowledge spillovers among firms. Design/methodology/approach – This study collected data in China and 219 questionnaires were achieved. Then, structure equation model by LISREL was used for hypotheses testing. Findings – The empiri...
