This study predicts end-user satisfaction on Facebook through two constructs: perceived ease-of-use and perceived usefulness. Usefulness was operationalized to reflect the perception that the site is helpful for friendship maintenance and social surveillance. The results show that Facebook users perceive the site to be both easy-to-use and useful. Perceived ease-of-use and perceived usefulness ...

The purpose of this paper is to compare and evaluate the validity of Information systems (IS) success models such as DeLone and McLean’s (1992), Seddon’s (1997), and DeLone and McLean’s (2003) IS success models for an e-government application called the Online Public Grievance Redressal System (OPGRS) in context of India. The paper also provides an integrated model of IS success based on the co...

Organizational Memory (OM) can be defined as the way an organization applies past knowledge to present activities. This mini-track focuses on how information technology can assist organizations in capturing, structuring, retaining, and retrieving OM. It represents a primary forum for researchers in this domain to exchange ideas and present research results. We are also striving to make it a spr...

The sustainability of mobility services, such as car sharing, is undeniable. Therefore, it is important to research and improve mobility services, thereby revealing their full environmental potential. As modern mobility services rely on sophisticated IS and modern technology, research on IS in the context of sustainable mobility services should be an important focus in the field. Accordingly, t...

This study presents a respecification of the DeLone and McLean IS success model and empirically assesses it to predict customers’ future purchases in the context of the online grocery store. Survey data were collected from 376 customers of one online grocery store. Structural equation modeling was conducted to validate the research model. The results indicate that service quality, product quali...

Interactions between the germ line and the soma help optimize reproductive success. We discovered a phenomenon linking reproductive status to longevity: In both hermaphroditic and gonochoristic Caenorhabditis, mating leads to female shrinking and death, compressing postreproductive life span. Male sperm induces germline- and DAF-9/DAF-12-dependent shrinking, osmotic stress susceptibility, and s...

The robustness of the growth of the human population in the face of environmental impacts is in contrast to the sensitivity of wildlife. There is a danger that the success of reproduction of humans provides a false sense of security for the public, media and politicians with respect to wildlife survival, the maintenance of viable ecosystems and the capacity for recovery of damaged ecosystems an...

The eco-evolutionary mechanisms of biological invasions are still not thoroughly understood. Alligator weed, Alternanthera philoxeroides (Martius) Gisebach (Amaranthaceae), is a plant native to South America and a weed in Australia and other countries. To better understand its success as an invader, we assessed the morphological and cytogenetic variability of 12 Argentine populations and the cy...

Regenerating oaks (Quercus spp.) has remained a widespread and persistent problem throughout their natural range. Research shows that abundant oak advance reproduction is crucial for success. Although it is recognized that oak advance reproduction accumulation is inversely related to site quality, there has been little effort to model oak advance reproduction density as a function of measured l...

Healthcare organizations (HCO) are under pressure to adopt emerging solutions with a view to improving the quality and efficiency of their operations, patient care and clinical decisions. In the literature, while recommendations have been put forth to follow an organizational approach to the adoption and implementation of analytics, there is a paucity of research into what specifically constitu...
