BACKGROUND mHealth has become a valuable tool for providing health care services in developing countries. Despite the potential benefits of mHealth, its adoption remains a very challenge in developing countries like Bangladesh. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the adoption of mHealth services in Bangladesh using Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). METHOD...

An extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for mobile commerce (m-commerce) was empirically tested using data collected from a web survey distributed to and through the Hong Kong undergraduates and postgraduates. The partial least squares (PLS) technique of the structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to evaluate the causal model and the confirmatory factor analys...

In the current era, competition among countries and regions is in fact among cities. Thus, how to measure urban competitiveness precisely is a basic and important question. The two main approaches to this are comprehensive evaluation based on a set of indicators and network analysis based on inter-city relations. However, both have shortcomings. In this study, we introduced structural equation ...

Empirical studies that use structural equation modeling (SEM) are widespread in information systems research. During the last few years, the component-based approach partial least squares (PLS) for testing structural models has become increasingly popular. At the same time, this approach’s limitations have become a greater concern. Some researchers even suggest using alternative approaches that...

Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been used as a popular research method in various disciplines, including knowledge management (KM). This paper reviews how PLS-SEM KM studies, which focus on sharing the context of virtual community (VC). The review includes 30 articles published from 2007 to 2019. discusses reasons behind use PLS-SEM, data and model characteristi...

results the results revealed that metal urine concentration in welders was higher than controls but only the difference in chromium concentration was significant (p < 0.002). in the range of metals exposure, induction of oxidative stress for exposed group was observed by increase in urine mda (11.17 ± 4.23 and 4.83 ± 1.82 mm in welders and controls, respectively; p < 0.01). information of the m...

This study aims to investigate the impact of behavioral aspects (sentiment investor, overconfidence, salience, overreaction, and herd behavior) on investment decision making. The sample contained 413 individual investors—used partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) as a data analysis technique. results showed that sentiment investors, behavior positively affect finding this ...
