“…In addition, there is a common problem in rural infrastructure in which the government pays more attention to the construction of the rural infrastructure but neglects its operation and management. Some rural infrastructures are not sufficiently managed and maintained after completion because there is a lack of professional operation teams and proper regular operation [34]. These problems cause the farmers' sense of gain to remain at a low level in the provision of rural infrastructure.…”

During the rapid development of rural infrastructures in China, many important issues such as the real wishes of farmers and the proper management of the infrastructure have been overlooked, resulting in a weak sense of gain among farmers. To propose effective improvement strategies, this research aimed to explore the influence mechanism of the farmers’ sense of gain and to build a comprehensive evaluation model of farmers’ sense of gain in the provision of rural infrastructure. To achieve the above aims, we first proposed hypotheses among four constructs and selected an evaluation index for each construct. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and a questionnaire survey, we then verified the proposed hypotheses and developed a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model of the farmers’ sense of gain in the provision of rural infrastructure. The results first showed that the content of gain and the way of gain directly affect the farmers’ sense of gain, and the governance indirectly affects the farmers’ sense of gain. Moreover, the way of gain has the greatest impact on the sense of gain, followed by the governance and the content of gain. Furthermore, the analysis results demonstrate that the developed fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is feasible and effective in evaluating farmers’ sense of gain in the provision of rural infrastructures. The findings of this study first enrich the relevant theories of farmers’ sense of gain in the provision of rural infrastructure. The findings also provide theoretical support for the government authorities to put forward effective governance strategies for rural infrastructure from the perspective of farmers’ sense of gain.

As countries emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic, management teams faced the challenges of supporting their employees to return to the traditional office work environment, adopting hybrid work modes to ensure business continuity, and creating work conditions conducive to personal well-being. Despite the critical role of digital platforms during the pandemic, there is limited understanding of the role of digital platform continuance to retain employees during the Great Resignation phenomenon. To address this gap, this study focuses on organisational support as there is growing recognition of its importance in digital platform continuance. Using partial least square algorithms, we used the organisational support theory and information systems (IS) continuance literature to derive a research model tested on data collected from 447 knowledge workers across central Europe and Africa. The results show that management-by-objective (MBO) and support from direct managers are essential determinants of knowledge workers’ post-crisis digital platform continuance intentions. The perceived usefulness of digital platforms mediates the effect of direct manager support on digital platform continuance. We discuss how the results could extend organisational level IS continuance research and help organisations develop strategies to retain employees in this post-crisis work-related phenomenon.
