“…On the one hand, customers' contribution to VC‐WPL consists of their opinion, understanding and innovative ideas about the products. A climate for innovation encourages individuals to share new ideas, opinions and innovative approaches (Melas et al., 2014) and is tolerant of the accompanying risks (Liang et al., 2015). On the other hand, individuals must interact with other people and consider the relationship with others when they engage in various OVCA (Chen et al, 2014).…”

“…Priharsari and Abedin (2021) divides the promotion factors of OVCA into four actors (i.e., firm, individual, social, and technology) and calls for continuing to explore the promotion and inhibition factors of OVCA from these aspects. Although previous studies have examined how motivation factors, platform design factors, and individual factors affect OVCA (Fadel et al., 2011; Liang et al., 2015; Melas et al., 2014), there is a lack of research in the IS field that theorizes and tests the effects of environmental factors and personal need factors on OVCA.…”

Customers' online value co‐creation activities can occur the whole management domain (i.e., product design, marketing, and customer relationship management) of a product. Previous studies have researched value co‐creation from different angles, customers' online value co‐creation activities are more complex and its formation mechanism still worth exploring. Online communities need to create different environments according to different management fields to stimulate customers to participate in Online Value Co‐creation activities. Existing research confuses different value co‐creation activities in the entire management field without considering the different antecedents of Online Value Co‐creation activities in different situations and different management domains. The purpose of this paper is to explore the formation mechanism behind customers' online value co‐creation activities during the whole management domain. Drawing on social learning theory, this study examines the influential role of environmental factors (i.e., innovation climate and social climate) of online communities and personal need factors (i.e., brand passion, satisfaction, dissatisfaction, and desire for control) on customers' value co‐creation activities in the three fields of the management domain. Empirical analyses in this study reveal that these factors play different roles in shaping value co‐creation activities in the three fields. The findings enrich our understanding of customers' value co‐creation activities in online communities and offer a broadened view of the value co‐creation framework and climate theory. Understanding the factors that motivate consumers to engage in co‐creation activities in different management domain enables firms to strategically manage their co‐creation relationships and innovation processes.

“…Moreover, Reise and Revicki [68] present several useful applications of IRT, including the assessment of data quality and the generation of item banks for hospital patients' questionnaires, which bears important implications for researchers interested in the healthcare industry. Another interesting example from the healthcare sector is given by Melas et al [54] who illustrate with the help of IRT that the previously assumed poor correlation between attitudes toward evidence-based practice and communication technology is a methodological artifact rather than a substantive fact. Additionally, the current PISA study (Programme for International Student Assessment), which is conducted in most 60 OECD member countries (OECD, 2014), has successfully applied an extended version of the Rasch model [1].…”

Breaking free from the limitations of classical test theory: Developing and measuring information systems scales using item response theory

Information systems (IS) research frequently uses survey data to measure the interplay between technological systems and human beings. Researchers have developed sophisticated procedures to build and validate multi-item scales that measure latent constructs. The vast majority of IS studies uses classical test theory (CTT), but this approach suffers from three major theoretical shortcomings: (1) it assumes a linear relationship between the latent variable and observed scores, which rarely represents the empirical reality of behavioral constructs; (2) the true score can either not be estimated directly or only by making assumptions that are difficult to be met; and (3) parameters such as reliability, discrimination, location, or factor loadings depend on the sample being used. To address these issues, we present item response theory (IRT) as a collection of viable alternatives for measuring continuous latent variables by means of categorical indicators (i.e., measurement variables). IRT offers several advantages: (1) it assumes nonlinear relationships; (2) it allows more appropriate estimation of the true score; (3) it can estimate item parameters independently of the sample being used; (4) it allows the researcher to select items that are in accordance with a desired model; and (5) it applies and generalizes concepts such as reliability and internal consistency, and thus allows researchers to derive more information about the measurement process. We use a CTT approach as well as Rasch models (a special class of IRT models) to demonstrate how a scale for measuring hedonic aspects of websites is developed under both approaches. The results illustrate how IRT can be successfully applied in IS research and provide better scale results than CTT. We conclude by explaining the most appropriate circumstances for applying IRT, as well as the limitations of IRT.

“…We view compatibility of a new ICT as a measure of the degree to which an innovation is perceived as being compatible with existing capability, values, past experiences, and the needs of potential adopters. The new device must fit not only physicians' clinical routines (Melas et al 2013), but also their medical beliefs that remote control of chronic disease is beneficial (SansonFisher 2004). <Please insert Figure 1 around here> These innovation characteristics turn out to be the main causes of usage intention.…”

While mobile device receives increasing attention as a practical tool to remotely check patients' health, little research has shed light on physicians' acceptance of this information and communication technology. This study attempts to fill this research gap by examining how Japanese and Spanish physicians perceive a series of factors associated with mobile diabetes monitoring acceptance, and whether any differences exist in these perceptions between the countries due to different levels of physician scarcity, which is operationalized as the number of physicians available per 10,000 population. The hypotheses were tested by empirical surveys in Japan and Spain. In total, 471 and 497 usable responses were obtained from Japanese and Spanish physicians, respectively. In both countries, physicians were likely to embrace clinical expectations (perceived value) and appreciate the ability to check patients' health remotely (ubiquitous control) as the main benefits of mobile diabetes monitoring. In terms of cross-country comparison, the influence of personal innovativeness on perceived value and ubiquitous control was stronger in Japan (greater physician scarcity), compared with Spain (less physician scarcity).
