When developing and aiming to achieve success in the arena of mobile commerce, user acceptance is a key aspect for consideration. This study aims to empirically examine some of the factors affecting the acceptance of m-commerce within the context of Saudi Arabia. Based on the revised UTAUT model, the revised model include two particular construct : costs and trust to enhance our understanding o...

Robust control design of vehicles addresses the effect of uncertainties on the vehicle’s performance. In present study, the robust optimal multi-objective controller design on a non-linear full vehicle dynamic model with 8-degrees of freedom having parameter with probabilistic uncertainty considering two simultaneous conflicting objective functions has been made to prevent the rollover. The obj...

We consider a setting in which a worker and a manager may each have information about the likely completion time of a task, and the worker also affects the completion time by choosing a level of effort. The task itself may further be composed of a set of subtasks, and the worker can also decide how many of these subtasks to split out into an explicit prediction task. In addition, the worker can...

This study examines the acceptance and use of ICT by Nigerian university academicians. The model validated is the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Using a pilot study, one hundred questionnaires were administered and collected at the University of Jos Plateau State, Nigeria. The construct was significantly correlated with behavioral intention (BI). This implies that t...

Because impulsive decision-making is correlated with many maladaptive tendencies, researchers have increasingly studied methods for reducing choice. These efforts primarily focused on increasing choices of larger, more-delayed rewards. A second type choice selecting a smaller, less-effortful reward over more-effortful one. Little nonhuman research has examined experimental effort-based Within t...

This chapter explains how depletion operates within the conceptual framework of integrative self-control theory (SCT; Kotabe & Hofmann, 2015). SCT is a broad and integrative model of self-control which comprises seven components or “nodes”: desire, higher-order goal, desiregoal conflict, control motivation, control capacity, control effort, and enactment constraints. The interplay of these comp...
