“…Interestingly, compared with important others' opinions about DBS (injunctive social norms), their actual usage of this technology (descriptive social norms) exerts a higher impact on the perception of DBS services' usefulness in daily travel. Therefore, the results demonstrate that the normative pressure from social networks exerts an important influence on DBS continuance intention and users' perception toward DBS usefulness, which improves the understanding of the linkage between social networks and travel behavior (Chen and Deng, 2019;Hagiladi and Plaut, 2021). As was found in previous research that has examined the indirect effect of environmental concern on pro-environmental behaviors and continuance intention of green products or services Zhang et al, 2020), this study revealed that environmental concern has a positive and statistically significant impact on the continuance intention of DBS users via perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.…”

Despite the fact that dockless bike-sharing (DBS) usage first experienced explosive growth, its continuous usage rate remains low. The ultimate success of a DBS service is more dependent on its continued usage rather than its initial adoption. Following the extended technology acceptance model (TAM), this study aims to explore factors that influence the continuance intention of DBS users. The framework of research was validated using a sample of 369 DBS users in China. The results show that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use positively influence a user’s intention to continue using DBS. Both descriptive social norms and injunctive social norms are positively related to the continuance intention of DBS users. Moreover, environmental concern significantly affects the continuance intention of a user indirectly via perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Furthermore, the extended TAM has stronger prediction ability than the original TAM in the context of DBS services.

“…The characteristics of social networks can be captured by the network size [41], social connection [42], network heterogeneity [43], contact frequency [44], social participation [45], reciprocity [46], and the connection intensity [47]. In our study, we selected three indicators that can properly reflect the characteristics of Chinese rural elders' social networks, namely their network size, network heterogeneity, and network strength (the weak link).…”

The Characteristics and the Influencing Factors of Rural Elders’ Social Networks: Evidence from China

et al. 2023

Due to the immature formal care system, social networks have provided a new way to solve the support dilemma for Chinese rural elders. With few studies exploring social networks from a multi-dimensional perspective, this study aimed to comprehensively explore the characteristics and associated factors of rural elders’ social networks in China. Data were drawn from a national survey of 1126 rural elders in China. An Ordinary Least Squares linear regression model was used to analyze the factors associated with network size, network heterogeneity, and network strength (the weak link strength). The results showed that rural elders’ social networks in China presented the characteristics with a smaller size, lower heterogeneity, and weaker strength of “the weak link” (that is, the tendency to associate with external network members). Individual factors, family factors, and community factors, especially income, marital status, and number of children, were important influencing factors of characteristics of China’s rural elders’ social networks. These findings highlighted the importance of family, children, and formal support in rural China, offering implications for policy-making and service delivery. More attention should be paid to the relevant factors to enrich the social networks of rural elders and to ensure their happy lives in later years.

“…People can build network relationships through direct contact, offline contact, face-to-face communication and other social ways. The closeness of geographical relationship between people can indicate that the closer the geographical distance, the stronger the social relationship [12]. Due to geographical proximity, venture capitalists and local business executives may operate in the same circles and have access to private information [9].…”

The Impact of Geographic Distance between Venture Capital and Start-ups on Operating Performance

China has a vast territory, and the development scale of venture capital varies significantly among different regions. The geographical distribution of venture capital is unbalanced, which makes it difficult for venture capital to choose to invest in local enterprises or cross-regional investment. Many studies have shown that geographical distance is related to the formation of social networks, the strength of information asymmetry and the amount of transaction costs. Therefore, depending on geographical distance, venture capital will face different investment situations, investment costs and investment returns, and entrepreneurial enterprises will therefore receive different levels of super-vision, value-added and post-investment management services. Therefore, this paper analyses the impact of geographical distance between VCs and start-ups on the operating performance of start-ups from a unique geographical distance perspective, and takes relevant data of listed start-ups from 2009 to 2019 as samples for empirical test. The study finds that the closer the geographical distance between VCs and start-ups, the higher the short-term operating performance of start-ups. Geographical distance has an insignificant effect on the long-term performance of startups. In addition, poor internal control of start-ups will weaken the positive impact of geographical proximity on operating performance of start-ups.
