The "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology" (UTAUT) has been extensively employed to discover the factors driving positive adoption new technologies. However, there is a lack research on potential adverse effects UTAUT user behavior. This study aims fill this gap by investigating negative behavioral intentions food delivery application (FDA) users based questionnaire administered in China (n = 428). Using structural-equation-modeling analysis, confirms direct or indirect various...

Abstract The dairy incident in 2008 influenced Chinese residents’ attitudes towards domestic and foreign brands the market. This paper highlights strong consumer perceptions existing market country of origin products. residents generally believe products from countries are superior than those China. A new theoretical framework is developed to explore driving factors country‐of‐effects its corresponding impacts. Consumers’ image different national stereotypes, ethnocentrism animosity, product...

Studies have been conducted on university students' acceptance of e-learning systems during COVID-19. However, less attention has paid to use post-pandemic. This research provides a more comprehensive framework investigate the effects various quality perceptions attitude, learning engagement, and stickiness toward platforms. A survey-based quantitative method is adopted by this study in which sample data are collected from students Australian universities. total 403 valid samples were...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effects consumer ethnocentrism and animosity on importance country-of-origin in food product evaluation. It also tested moderating effect purchase frequency. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from dairy consumers residing China. research model was using structural equation modelling with AMOS. Findings results indicated that evaluation not necessarily driven by or animosity. Only among frequent purchasers, a higher level can...

ABSTRACTTourists' behaviours are significantly affected by their risk aversion and uncertainty avoidance. However, several studies found that these two traits often used interchangeably. Using partial-least-squares structural equation modelling to analyse data obtained from 386 Chinese residents, this paper unpacks how concepts relate tourists' personality various information search behaviours. While results confirm similarities between the concepts, including they affect pre-purchase...

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of e-learning systems worldwide. While much research explored how learners' personality traits affect their acceptance e-learning, there's a gap in understanding readiness to continue using online platforms post-pandemic. This study aims address this by developing more comprehensive framework for examining role Big -five student engagement, satisfaction, and stickiness with platforms. Data was collected from 403 students across three...

As an alternative power resource of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), the Free Piston Engine Generator (FPEG) is investigated for its potential advantages in terms fuel efficiency and flexiblity. Precise control piston motion important reliable operation free engine. In this paper, a discrete-time control-oriented model system derived based on energy conservation equation. An optimal controller LQR technique designed to position. Concerning impact disturbance due transient load requirement,...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on leisure tourists' risk and uncertainty perceptions. Despite the importance of perceived risks uncertainties in their decision-making, there is a lack research that simultaneously tests effects these two factors as different multiple-dimensional constructs. Thus, this paper investigates roles various perceptions decision-making develops more comprehensive model incorporates relevant factors. To test model, empirical study adopts partial...

For decades, research and practice have recognized the significant effects of risk aversion uncertainty avoidance on consumer behavior. These two concepts are often used interchangeably studied as an integrated factor in marketing literature. Despite relationship between avoidance, it is necessary to differentiate address inaccuracy definition application. This investigates Chinese dairy consumers who experienced one most food safety crises recent years. Based a structural equation modeling...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a review the main factors that are important consumers dairy products and develop new product performance index for evaluating benchmarking products. This helps companies understand their products’ overall level, relative other in market. Design/methodology/approach A developed with respect multiple criteria. Seven criteria identified To deal subjective assessments qualitative measures, linguistic terms approximated by fuzzy numbers used. Based...
