“…This is an interesting finding implying the higher the extraversion, the lower would be the morality which in turn will negatively influence intentions for shopping online and encourage intentions for shopping in‐store. We support the extant literature which indicated that extraversion was associated with intentions to travel (Talwar et al, 2022), dine‐out (Okubo, 2022), and engage in public protests against the Covid‐related restrictions (Bratich, 2021; Kowalewski, 2021), which collectively reflect their reluctance in staying confined indoors and their rebel attitude amid the pandemic. Therefore, our findings contribute to the TRA (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975) by suggesting that refraining from online shopping and engaging in in‐store shopping might be extraverted consumers' way of showing their assertive and rebel attitude amid the pandemic when these traits are threatened due to the restrictions imposed for controlling the pandemic.…”

“…(Lund, 2015), higher openness and extraversion may encourage in-store shopping intentions. Extraversion also positively influenced intentions to travel (Talwar et al, 2022) and dine-out (Okubo, 2022) during the pandemic, indicating their reluctance for being confined at home. Extraversion also kindles intentions for breaking Covid-related rules (Navajas et al, 2021) and willingness to buy in-store (Hermes et al, 2022).…”

“…Extraversion negatively influences intentions for social distancing and complying to the Covid‐related restrictions amid the pandemic (Carvalho et al, 2020; Kleitman et al, 2021). Studies indicated a positive association between extraversion and rebellious attitude toward visiting public places amid the pandemic (Okubo, 2022; Talwar et al, 2022). Thus, it could be implied that higher extraversion will negatively influence intentions for online shopping to avoid social distancing or satisfy the need for being at a public place.…”

We explored the relationships between the big 5 personality traits (i.e., openness, consciousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism), morality amid the pandemic, and intentions for shopping online and in‐store. Conducting an online survey with the U.S. national sample (n = 490) and analyzing the data through structural equation modeling, we found that consciousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism positively influenced morality; extraversion negatively influenced morality; conscientiousness positively influenced and openness and extraversion negatively influenced the intentions for online shopping; extraversion positively influenced and neuroticism negatively influenced in‐store shopping intentions. Morality and personality traits are important in shaping intentions for shopping online and in‐store amid the pandemic.

“…Remote work has several advantages such as improving work-life balance (Coenen & Kok, 2014;Dutcher, 2012;Kazekami, 2020) and productivity (Bartik et al, 2020). With the spread of Covid-19, studies on the impact of teleworking on economies increased (Adams-Prassl et al, 2022Alipour et al, 2021Alipour et al, , 2023Bonacini et al, 2021;Kawaguchi & Motegi, 2021;Morikawa, 2022;Mongey & Weinberg, 2021;Okubo, 2022a;Okubo et al, 2021). Dingel and Neiman (2020) suggested that there are some specific occupations suitable for remote work.…”

Are software automation and teleworker substitutes? Preliminary evidence from Japan

Digital technology is reshaping workplaces by enabling spatial separation of offices, known as telework, or remote intelligence (RI) and by facilitating automation of service sector tasks via artificial intelligence (AI). This paper is the first attempt to empirically investigate whether AI and RI are complements or substitutes in the service sector. It uses a worker‐level panel of surveys collected from around 10,000 workers from pre‐COVID‐19 pandemic to late 2022. We find preliminary evidence that suggests that AI and RI are complements rather than substitutes. The evidence comes first from the positive correlation of investments in AI‐promoting and RI‐promoting software at the firm and worker level, and second from the positive correlation of workers' expectations regarding telework and software automation. The evidence is far from definitive but suggests that the complement‐substitution question is a fruitful line for future research.
