“…1 This contrast with regression, where equal weights are normally given to all indicators, and each dependent composite construct and all its predictors are analysed separately using ordinary least squares [34,35]. 2 We performed a multiple regression analysis using both equal weights and factor weights given to all indicators and found results that were consistent with PLS.…”

“…Second, with our complex research model, PLS may have an advantage over regression since it can analyse the whole model as a unit, rather than dividing it into pieces [35]. 1 This contrast with regression, where equal weights are normally given to all indicators, and each dependent composite construct and all its predictors are analysed separately using ordinary least squares [34,35].…”

“…We chose PLS for several reasons. First, it is capable of analysing data models with small sample sizes that are potentially non-normal [34,35]. That said, there is still considerable debate over the efficacy and choice of statistical techniques (i.e., covariance-based structural equation modelling, PLS, and/or regression) to use when analysing hypothesised causal relationships between constructs (see [34,35,58,57,78]).…”

Regardless of the choice of statistical technique, the purpose of analysis is to ensure that the measurement model has adequate reliability and validity, and to determine the statistical significance of path estimates so that the findings can be used to enhance the existing knowledge of the MIS research community.…”

Leveraging IT resources, embeddedness, and dependence: A supplier's perspective on appropriating benefits with powerful buyers

The relationships between suppliers and buyers are often characterised by power differentials and dependence at the same time. This leads to the ability of a powerful buyer to benefit more from the relationship than the supplier. We examine how a supplier can strengthen its use of relation-specific IT with embeddedness to appropriate its share of relational benefits. We developed and tested a model of supplier relation-specific IT use, embeddedness, and buyer dependence on supplier. The results showed that embeddedness did not lead directly to the sharing of relational benefits; rather the appropriation of relational benefits is derived from buyer dependence.

“…1 The possibility of testing complex relationships with small samples and parameter estimates can be estimated with the violation of normality assumption (Goodhue et al 2012). 2 For exploratory theory development purpose, PLS-SEM is preferred instead of Covariance based-Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM), because CB-SEM is used for conforming the model (Gefen et al 2011).…”

The purpose of this study is to test the serial mediation effect of family-to-work conflict and work-family balance in the relationship between family support and family satisfaction. Using a survey-based methodology and an online questionnaire, responses were obtained from 288 faculty members who work in higher education institutions in cities from the southern part of India. Partial least square structural equation modeling and PROCESS macros were used to test the proposed hypotheses of the three path mediation model. The results of the study show that academicians in higher educational institutions have high levels of support in their families, which is related to family satisfaction through family-to-work conflict and work-family balance. Overall, there exists, partial mediation support for the proposed theoretical model. The three path mediational hypothesis proposed in this study is new and unique in both Indian and global contexts. The study shows that when faculty members of higher educational institutions get support from their family members, there is less family interference with work, which, in turn, helps them balance their work and family life. Such balance eventually results in satisfaction within the family.

Testing a model of user‐experience with news websites

Although the Internet has become a major source for accessing news, there is little research regarding users' experience with news sites. We conducted an experiment to test a comprehensive model of user experience with news sites that was developed previously by means of an online survey. Level of adoption (novel or adopted site) was controlled with a between-subjects manipulation. We collected participants' answers to psychometric scales at 2 times: after presentation of 5 screenshots of a news site and directly after 10 minutes of hands-on experience with the site. The model was extended with the prediction of users' satisfaction with news sites as a high-level design goal. A psychometric measure of trust in news providers was developed and added to the model to better predict people's intention to use particular news sites. The model presented in this article represents a theoretically founded, empirically tested basis for evaluating news websites, and it holds theoretical relevance to user-experience research in general. Finally, the findings and the model are applied to provide practical guidance in design prioritization. IntroductionNews media have had a constantly increasing web presence since the middle of the 1990s, when most of the major news providers in the Western world launched online versions of their newspapers. More recently, with the rapid spread of handheld electronic devices, such as tablet computers, smart phones, and e-book readers, online publishing has become a major source of media use. For example, by August 2012, sales of electronic books on Amazon surpassed those of print books by 14%, including print books with no electronic editions and excluding free electronic books (Malik, 2012). With regard to the decline of print news publishing in the United States, Mitchell and Rosenstiel (2012) report that, in 2011, losses in print advertising revenue outweighed gains in online advertising revenue 10 to 1, and that in terms of the combined circulation and advertising revenue, the print-newspaper sector has shrunk by 43% since 2000. The increase in the use of online news, as opposed to print news, is not attributable only to the spread of Internet-enabled handheld devices. Mitchell and Rosenstiel also point out that 8 in 10 people who access news on smart phones or tablets also access news on conventional computers. News sites are becoming the primary source of accessing news and daily information. The success of interactive products, such as news sites, is largely influenced by the extent to which they promote positive experiences in their users (Law & van Schaik, 2010). Indeed, research in user experience (UX) is primarily motivated by the notion that high-quality experiences with interactive products promote the adoption and repeated use of these products (Hassenzahl, 2003). Model of UX with News SitesNews sites differ from other types of websites in many aspects, which carry important implications to their use, experience of use, evaluation, and quality criteria. News sites are a specific ...
