“…The results did not support H5b. Thus, interactivity was not associated with competition (γ20 = 0.16, p > 0.05), which is consistent with previous research findings that certain apps for SWDs automatically record and upload data to their respective database so that users can engage in exchanges with other users and become more competitive (Kortuem et al, 2009;Privat, 2000). However, our finding is not consistent with previous study assertions that competition can be generated by a gamification design in which users are notified of the status of the competition (e.g., current rankings) (Liu & Peng, 2013).…”

“…SWDs are defined as electronic devices that can be worn on or attached to the bodies of users. These devices feature app functions, core processors, sensors for data collection, and internet connectivity (Kortuem et al, 2009 ; Privat, 2000 ). Studies on SWDs have largely been conducted at the technical level.…”

Continued usage of smart wearable devices (SWDs): cross-level analysis of gamification and network externality

With the increasing maturity of mobile networks and big data technology, smart wearable devices (SWDs) are regarded as a new technology trend following smartphones. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in telework and the growing interest in self-health monitoring have greatly promoted the market growth of SWDs. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the continued use of SWDs. A cross-level analysis model that integrates technical characteristics, gamification theory, perceived value theory, and network externality was constructed. A hierarchical linear model was employed to evaluate the data and test it against the hypotheses. The empirical results showed that, at the individual level, gamification enhances users’ value perceptions. Users pay more attention to rewards in gamification than to competition. Rewards were also found to effectively promote the users’ value perception and increase the intention to continue using the device. At the group level, the effect of network externality significantly influences the intention to continue using SWDs. Moreover, SWDs are associated with the phenomenon by which consumers conspicuously display and highlight their own characteristics, and this attribute is also a crucial factor enticing consumers to continue using SWDs. Developers should therefore establish clear product positioning and strengthen interactivity as early as possible to build a loyal customer base.

“…Smartwatches refer to computerised wristwatches with functions of personal digital assistants as well as timekeepers (Edwards, 2013). These smart devices are interactive electronic devices connected to other devices or networks (Privat, 2000). In addition, they are autonomous digital/physical objects that are equipped with functionalities such as sensing, communicating and providing useful information for users such as one’s heartbeat, news, weather and location information, e-mail, messages and social media alerts (Kortuem et al , 2010).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to answer the question of whether smartwatches will survive and gain their own niche within the consumer electronics market. Based on the stimulus–organism–response (S–O–R) framework, this study identifies and validates the impacts of both technological and fashion-related factors (interactivity, autonomy, visual aesthetics and self-expression) on product attachment towards smartwatches through user satisfaction and pleasure derived from their smartwatches. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected the survey data via online surveys from 198 respondents and tested measurement and structural models with the partial least square technique. Findings The authors found that both technological characteristics (interactivity and autonomy) and fashion-related characteristics (visual aesthetics and self-expression) have an impact on product attachment through pleasure. Research limitations/implications Several other important characteristics of traditional wrist-watches such as durability or workmanship are not considered in this study, but should be included in future studies. The three-item measure of autonomy may be insufficient for more sophisticated wearable devices in the future. In future studies, the impact of product attachment on users’ continued usage should be examined. Practical implications This study provides important practical implications for smartwatch makers interested in product development, as users were found to consider fashion-related characteristics to be as important as technological characteristics. Originality/value This study is the first study that considers both aesthetic and technological factors for IT acceptance in the context of wearable devices. Also, instead of traditional IT acceptance measures such as continued use, this study investigates users’ product attachment, which is more relevant to the case of wearable devices.

“…for clarity, we highlight here the definitions of some key terms that we will use in this paper: Smart Device: Drawing from existing definitions in the literature [88,95], a smart device is a controllable device that is equipped with an embedded processor, memory, sensors, and a network connection to connect to other devices or to the internet to provide useful services to the users and can store or share data on a local storage-device or over the internet.…”

Exploring Bystanders’ Privacy Concerns with Smart Homes in Jordan

Smart homes continue to raise concerns about privacy and encroachment of businesses into intimate spaces. Prior research has focused on families and device owners in western contexts (Europe and North America), and has identified the importance of bystanders: individuals who are subjected to smart device use of others. Given the cultural and contextual aspects of accommodating bystanders, we identify a gap where bystanders in non-western societies have been insufficiently researched.To address this we conduct 20 interviews with domestic workers and household employers in Jordan, exploring privacy attitudes and practices. Our analysis uncovers a complex interplay between religious and social norms; legal and regulatory perspectives on privacy; and tensions between households and their domestic workers. We explore issues arising from smart homes coexisting as a residence and workplace, and highlight how workplace protections are ill-suited. We structure our findings to help inform public awareness, policy makers, manufacturers, and future research.
