“…We decided to draw the line between categories (2) and (3), as (3) represents regular PA, and can therefore be considered as habitualized behavior, whereas category (2) still symbolizes irregular and infrequent PA behavior. This cut-off for the dichotomization of PA was also used in previous KORA studies [32]. The change in PA is a binary variable indicating whether a person showed a change in PA at a follow-up session.…”

Background: Chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus or hypertension are a major public health challenge. Irregular physical activity (PA) is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for chronic conditions and their complications. However, engaging in regular PA is a challenge for many individuals. The literature suggests that a diagnosis of a disease might serve as a promising point in time to change health behavior. This study investigates whether a diagnosis of diabetes or hypertension is associated with changes in PA. Methods: Analyses are based on 4261 participants of the population-based KORA S4 study (1999–2001) and its subsequent 7-and 14-year follow-ups. Information on PA and incident diagnoses of diabetes or hypertension was assessed via standardized interviews. Change in PA was regressed upon diagnosis with diabetes or hypertension, using logistic regression models. Models were stratified into active and inactive individuals at baseline to avoid ceiling and floor effects or regression to the mean. Results: Active participants at baseline showed higher odds (OR = 2.16 [1.20;3.89]) for becoming inactive after a diabetes diagnosis than those without a diabetes diagnosis. No other significant association was observed. Discussion: As PA is important for the management of diabetes or hypertension, ways to increase or maintain PA levels in newly-diagnosed patients are important. Communication strategies might be crucial, and practitioners and health insurance companies could play a key role in raising awareness.

“…SBQ is derived from the tenets of psychological theories and applied across various disciplines within decision-making. The theory is used extensively in the areas of economic choices (Masatlioglu & Ok, 2005), knowledge management systems (Chiu et al, 2021;Li et al, 2016), healthcare systems (Hsieh, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017), entrepreneurial decisions (Burmeister & Schade, 2007), conservatism and value (Nebel, 2015), as well as clinical researches (Karl et al, 2019). However, in recent years, SQB theory has received renewed attention from IS researchersdue to the radical development of new technologies and users differentiated approach to adoption.…”

Enablers and Inhibitors of AI-Powered Voice Assistants: A Dual-Factor Approach by Integrating the Status Quo Bias and Technology Acceptance Model

This study investigates the factors that build resistance and attitude towards AI voice assistants (AIVA). A theoretical model is proposed using the dual-factor framework by integrating status quo bias factors (sunk cost, regret avoidance, inertia, perceived value, switching costs, and perceived threat) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness) variables. The study model investigates the relationship between the status quo factors and resistance towards adoption of AIVA, and the relationship between TAM factors and attitudes towards AIVA. A sample of four hundred and twenty was analysed using structural equation modeling to investigate the proposed hypotheses. The results indicate an insignificant relationship between inertia and resistance to AIVA. Perceived value was found to have a negative but significant relationship with resistance to AIVA. Further, the study also found that inertia significantly differs across gender (male/female) and age groupings. The study's framework and results are posited as adding value to the extant literature and practice, directly related to status quo bias theory, dual-factor model and TAM.

“…The preference for one's present status also influences health decisions. A preference for the easiest path may explain some habits like physical inactivity, difficulty with quitting smoking and unwise daily eating habits, which are often a default choice (Karl et al, 2019). People are psychologically uncomfortable with changes and might adhere to the status quo, even if it directly conflicts with their preferences (Breslin, 2018).…”

Organizations nowadays are increasingly using a nondisclosure agreement to protect against the dissemination of certain information by employees. However, such methods have not always been successful, especially since a pandemic. Therefore, the aim of the article is to present the main trust factors. Identification of trust-building factors in the organization in order to increase efficiency and reduce indirect costs, as well as conduct theoretical analysis on this topic. Design/methodology/approach: The synthesis method and the analytical and comparative concept of building staff motivation were used. The theoretical analysis in the text is based on research that can be found in Polish, English and Russian literature. Findings:The article shows that by engaging the right disciplines it become possible to achieve absolute trust, which in turn serves as the key to effective work. Research limitations/implications: Building an atmosphere of trust begins with ways of learning, sharing information and knowledge while meeting the needs of the trusted person. Therefore, in future research on trust in the area of management, it is necessary to take into account the point of view of the related disciplines mentioned in the article. Social implications: A conscious desire to build organizational trust leads to an increase in work efficiency and a decrease in corrupt practices. Ultimately, this will lead to increased meaning of trust in business.Originality/value: A model of trust levels and their impact on work performance has been developed. The article can be used by the management as a guide to creating employee motivation systems.
