Microcomputer playfulness: development of a measure with workplace implications

TL;DR: A research model is proposed that investigates how the different types of information embedded on SNSEA affect such continuous participation according to elaboration-likelihood model and provides significant indications on how to design and manage SNSEA in an effort to increase user base.

TL;DR: A model based on IT-related traits to conceptualize the Internet use behavior of mature adults, specifically focusing on curiosity- and control-related trait, reveals that traits reflecting ‘curiosity’ explain variations in the duration of Internet use, while traits reflecting 'control' predict the intensity to which mature adults make use of the Internet.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how learners can be motivated to pass on their knowledge to others using interactive peer learning and found that self-efficacy was higher in a computer-mediated environment (CME) than in a blackboard system (BBS).

TL;DR: It is suggested that enhancing the playfulness of SAP ERP system can help improve the user’s learning of business processes and the user's skills to use the system, but that reducing the anxiety of the system is far more important in improving the user.

TL;DR: Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.

TL;DR: An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

TL;DR: This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.

TL;DR: The development of an instrument designed to measure the various perceptions that an individual may have of adopting an information technology IT innovation, comprising eight scales which provides a useful tool for the study of the initial adoption and diffusion of innovations.
