Purpose Advances in technologies have allowed service providers to incorporate many different into the delivery of their services. These been implemented encounter for customer use with varying degrees success. This research aims focus on examination factors that influence consumer attitudes toward, and adoption of, self‐service (SSTs). Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model process SSTs is developed tested across three used banking industry. One these (ATMs) has available years...
The introduction of self-service technologies (SSTs) into the service encounter necessitates research to better understand customers’ attitudes toward providers and technologies, their intentions use technology-based delivery systems. In this research, authors develop empirically test three nested structural models that include a hierarchy consumer both interpersonal technological aspects SSTs. findings indicate SST options are driven by multiple, hierarchical attitudes. addition direct...
This research examines factors influencing the consumer decision to alter how interact with a firm and adopt new technology-based means of consuming service. Two central in introduction self-service technologies (SSTs) are use technology that customer must change existing behavior patterns. A structural model relating attitudes anticipated outcomes intentions is tested banking context. Key findings theoretical (anticipated better predictors intentions) practical (fun more important than...
Customers are increasingly using social media channels in their purchase decisions. We explore the influence of interpersonal word-of-mouth (WOM) and various forms electronic (eWOM). WOM is found to have more on behavioral intentions, trust WOM, attitude toward firm compared all eWOM explored. The also compared. Independent sources (i.e., Facebook yelp.com) influential than company-controlled eWOM, such as customer testimonials a website. This pattern consistent across firm.
DNA profiles from multiple-contributor samples are interpreted by comparing the probabilities of under alternative propositions. The propositions may specify some known contributors to sample and also a number unknown contributors. probability alleles carried set people, or unknown, depends on allelic frequencies upon any relationships among people. Membership same subpopulation implies relationship shared evolutionary history, this effect has been incorporated into probabilities. This...
This study combines research in education and services marketing to develop test a model of seven factors hypothesized be significant student attitudes toward the classes they take behavioral intentions that may influenced by those attitudes. Based on review relevant literature series focus groups, survey was developed administered students eight different required classes, two each four subject areas, at university northeastern United States. The results show related physical environment...
Selected profiles typed at the Promega PowerPlex 21 (PP21) loci were examined to determine if a linear or exponential model best described relationship between peak height and molecular weight. There fewer large departures from observed expected heights using model. The larger differences that exclusively high weight loci. We conclude data supports use of an curve versus in PP21 profiles. believe this observation will improve our ability for DNA interpretation software.
Summary In stream ecosystems, bacterial communities play an important role in nutrient and energy cycling processes as they are among the most numerous active organisms at basal trophic level of food web. Bacterial biofilms have been shown to correlate well with different catchment land use therefore provide opportunity for development a novel ecological indicator ecosystem health. this study, community index ( BCI ) model was developed validated using national data set biofilm profiles...
Abstract Across both marketing and management‐information‐system disciplines, download time has been identified as an important factor for on‐line business success. This research is intended to clarify counterintuitive findings generated from previous Web‐based experimentation. Here the roles of several factors, including time, on overall evaluation e‐retailer are explored. With experimental design, article explores impact 5‐, 30‐, 45‐second delays attitude toward e‐retailer. Consistent with...
