“…36,37 Thus, future studies should examine other potential technology-related enablers such as perceived ease of use from the technology acceptance model, 33 and computer literacy from theories of behavior. 38,39 Despite these limitations, our study has important research implications. First, we contributed to the literature by proposing a framework to examine factors affecting individuals' EHR usage.…”

“…This framework covered both health- and technology-related factors, and can be adopted by health education researchers to examine the utilization of other health information technologies in future studies. 38 Second, in contrast to previous studies that mainly focused on the adoption rate of EHRs, 18 we investigated its frequency and diversity simultaneously. The findings of this study revealed that both frequency and diversity of EHR usage were rather low in the general population, and they were affected by different technology enablers and health factors over time.…”

Objective Considering the increasing integration of electronic health records (EHRs) into medical practice by healthcare organizations, it is especially pertinent to understand its actual usage by the general public in recent years. This study aims to explore factors associated with the frequency and diversity of EHR usage in the United States over time. Methods We analyzed three iterations (2017, 2018, and 2019) of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). HINTS is a national cross-sectional survey conducted by the National Cancer Institute to document attitudes and perceptions about health information access and use among American adults. Results Both frequency and diversity of EHR usage have slightly increased across the years. However, its overall usage still remained low. Three technology-related enablers (access to digital devices, access to the Internet, and perceived usefulness of EHRs) were positively related to EHR usage in all three iterations. In addition, perceived health status was a constant and negative predictor of EHR usage over years. Doctor–patient communication was positively associated with the frequency of EHR usage in two survey waves. Conclusions More initiatives to increase EHR usage in the United States are needed. We advocate for providing affordable Internet access and smartphone to underserved populations; in medical encounters, doctors should have more patient-centered communication, introduce the benefits of EHRs to patients, and promote EHR adoption in terms of frequency and diversity.

“…However, current research on collaborative learning in virtual worlds explicitly or implicitly regards collaborative learning as a result of individual adoption of the virtual worlds and only uses the individual approach to study user behaviors in virtual worlds. Although I-intention models have dominated the studies of IS adoption and usage (Venkatesh et al, 2003(Venkatesh et al, , 2016Wu et al, 2022), we challenge this paradigm by introducing the concept of we-intention, which is more likely to develop influential theories (Chatterjee and Davison, 2021;Burton-Jones et al, 2021). We particularly empirically demonstrated the stronger effect of we-intention than I-intention in explaining collaborative learning in virtual worlds, moving beyond merely theoretical comparisons between we-intention and I-intention in prior studies (Bagozzi and Dholakia, 2002, 2006a, 2006b.…”

“…By doing so, our study contributes to theory and practice in the following ways. First, prior IS studies on technology adoption primarily assumed the use of certain technology is a person's individual decision or plan (Venkatesh et al, 2016;Bagozzi, 2007;Wu et al, 2022). However, it is not the case for virtual worlds, the use of which will be more meaningful only when a group of users uses them in a collective manner.…”

Purpose As digital spaces for team collaboration, virtual worlds bring considerable verisimilitude to technology-mediated social interaction and change the process of traditional team learning. The purpose of this study is to understand how to promote collaborative learning in virtual worlds by leveraging the power of we-intention to participate in virtual worlds. The authors further use the valence–instrumentality–self-efficacy–trust model (VIST) model as a means of understanding the formation of we-intention to participate in virtual worlds, during which behavioral desire serves a bridging role.Design/methodology/approach The authors tested the research model using the data gathered from 298 users of a prominent form of virtual world, i.e. massively multiplayer online role-playing games. The authors used the structural equation modeling approach and the partial least squares technique for data analysis.Findings Results show that the four factors of the VIST model (i.e. valence on team goals, instrumentality of contribution, self-efficacy in team tasks and trust in team members) all positively influence we-intention to participate in virtual worlds through behavioral desire for team actions. We-intention to participate in virtual worlds further exerts a stronger positive effect on collaborative learning in virtual worlds, compared with I-intention to participate in virtual worlds.Originality/value This work advances the information systems literature by introducing a relevant and important concept, i.e. we-intention, to explain collaborative learning in virtual worlds. This study especially compared the effect of we-intention and I-intention on collaborative learning in virtual worlds. The results of this work also provide practitioners with insights into the role of we-intention in promoting collective actions in virtual worlds.

The use of collaborative technologies (CT) in the industry 4.0 environment has become ubiquitous. While industry practitioners acknowledge the positive influence of CT on operations and projects of their organizations, yet there seem to be insufficient scholarly insights into the link between CT and project performance (PP). Hence, this study deploys the resource dependence theory to posit the influence of CT on PP, along with mediating roles of the individual factors (IF), organizational factors (OF), and sociotechnical factors (STF) in the above relationship. A set of hypotheses is developed and tested through cross‐sectional survey data collected from 392 employees in managerial and supervisory roles, in manufacturing organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The analysis conducted through structural equation modeling using SmartPLS indicates that CT positively influences PP. Moreover, the study found that IF, OF, and STF are all significant mediators in the relationships between CT and perceived project performance (PPP). This study contributes to the extant literature and industry practice by providing, nuanced insights into the role of pertinent mediators in the link between CT and PP.
