This research proposes a new multi-dimension trust model and develops a typology of antecedents to trust in the context of high domain complexity. Using open-ended questions, we explore what users think would create, promote or manage trust. We argue that trust affects individuals’ intention to use tax preparation software and electronic tax filing. This is an interesting research setting becau...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To identify antecedents and consequences of social disconnection in African American women diagnosed with breast cancer as described in the extant literature. DATA SOURCES Literature review using broad exploration of a personal database and informal exploration of databases such as MEDLINE®, as well as clinical experience. DATA SYNTHESIS A formal definition, antecedents, ...

Although researchers in many fields have long theorized about how the contributions of antecedents to outcomes might change across time, only recently have statistical tools necessary to examine such relationships become commonplace. In these situations the flexibility to simultaneously model ever smaller groups of observations both cross-sectionally (i.e., how the relative contribution of the ...

Computational research on reference resolution has mostly focused on pronouns and, to a lesser extent, on definite descriptions. We present a computational treatment of other-anaphora, i.e., noun phrases modified by “other” and “another”. The approach presented here is a lexical method LEX that finds antecedents on the basis of information in WordNet. LEX is compared with the state-of-the-art p...

Research on online shopping has taken three broad and divergent approaches viz, human-computer interaction, behavioral, and consumerist approaches to examine online consumer behavior. Assimilating these three approaches, this study proposes an integrated model of online shopping behavior, with four major antecedents influencing online purchase intent: Web site quality, customer concerns in onli...

Children acquiring their native language (L1) have been reported to have greater difficulty in interpreting pronouns than reflexives. In addition, they are less accurate when pronouns refer to referential antecedents than to quantified antecedents, and when they hear full pronouns as opposed to reduced pronouns. We hypothesize that similar difficulties of interpretation will occur for (non-adva...

Identifying the best way to organize the IS functions within an interprise has been a critical IS management issue since the mid-1980s. Yet to date, MIS researchers have offered little empirical evidence on which to base guidelines for the practitioner. This study seeks to explain a firm’s IS organization design decision for a decentralized, centralized, or "hybrid" locus of responsibility from...

This paper summarises the quantitative findings of prior empirical studies. Meta-analytic techniques are used to examine the antecedents of organisational knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB), with a focus on comparing public vs. private organisations and information technology (IT) vs. non-IT facilitation. The meta-analysis tests the efficacy of the theory of planned behaviour in a knowledge shar...

Clinical commentators widely interpret crying as a sign of depressed mood. However, there is virtually no empirical data on this topic, and the evidence that mood disorders alter crying is surprisingly weak. This study compared mood disordered patients to a nonpsychiatric reference group on the frequency, antecedents, and consequences of crying behavior using a well-validated questionnaire meas...

Monitoring and managing customers' satisfaction are key features to benefit from today's competitive environment. In higher education context, only a few studies are available on satisfaction and loyalty of the main customers who are the students, which signifies the need to investigate the field more thoroughly. The aim of this research is to measure the strength of determinants of students' s...
