The role of artificial intelligence in income distribution: A dynamic fsQCA study based on 20 OECD countries from 2015 to 2019
Open AccessYu Qian, Zeshui Xu et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2026
The fast progress of artificial intelligence (AI) technology transforms industrial efficiency levels and work abilities, significantly affecting worldwide income distribution patterns. This research uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to study the complex mechanisms by which AI affects income inequality across 20 OECD nations from 2015 through 2019. The analysis uses panel data ( N = 20, T = 5) to examine three AI-related cond…
Urban mobility and transportation in circular cities: Integrating blockchain–AI digital solutions
Open AccessJaved Aslam, Abroon Qazi et al.ARTICLETransport Policy2026
Urban mobility systems face mounting challenges, including congestion, air pollution, modal fragmentation, infrastructure deficits, and fossil fuel dependency, which hinder the transition to circular city models. This study systematically examines how blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) can address six validated transportation and mobility challenges within the Circular City Actions Framework (CCAF). Employing a two-stage methodology, we …

How stage-based generative artificial intelligence (GAI) assimilation impacts sustainability performance: The role of the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework
Open AccessJiayi Chen, Tingting Tian et al.ARTICLESustainable Futures2026
As artificial intelligence (AI) evolves rapidly, Generative AI (GAI) has become a transformative force in business operations and strategic decision-making. While its potential to influence gains in sustainability performance is attracting growing attention, the impact outcomes and underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. To address this gap, grounded in the stage-based Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, this study uses a long-horizon event…
Coping With Digital Hostility: How Witnessing and Receiving Hate Speech Elicit Divergent Responses
Open AccessDong Jing, Xu Gao et al.ARTICLESocial Media + Society2026References: 7
Online hate speech is a pervasive form of digital aggression that shapes engagement and communication in online communities. Prior studies have seldom differentiated exposure pathways within the same context, limiting understanding of how distinct experiences shape user behavior. This study distinguishes between indirect exposure, where users witness hate speech directed at others, and direct victimization, where users personally receive it. Usin…
The paradox of knowledge: How heterogeneity shapes online medical team performance
Siqi Wang, Xiaofei Zhang et al.ARTICLEInternet Research2026References: 6
Purpose The heterogeneity of intellectual resources is one of the most critical static characteristics shaping team performance, while interactions among team members significantly influence how this characteristic is utilized. This study aims to explore the impact of knowledge heterogeneity within online medical teams (OMTs) on team performance and the underlying mechanisms driving this effect. Additionally, we seek to examine how intra-team int…
Introducing yourself to strangers: Does Conversational Self-Presentation Matter in Peer-to-Peer Accommodation
Fuzhen Liu, Chaocheng He et al.ARTICLEInternet Research2026Cited by: 2References: 37
Purpose Self-presentation has emerged as a pivotal marketing strategy for service providers seeking to craft virtual images in the peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation sector. However, the literature lacks an understanding of conversational self-presentation, which offers more informal and personal communication. Design/methodology/approach Drawing upon social interaction theory and uncertainty reduction theory, this study explores the impact of conv…
Learning First Aid Knowledge Not Only for the Self But Also for Others: Toward a Collective Protection Motivation Theory
Xiumei Ma, Yongqiang Sun et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2025
The practice of learning first aid knowledge on social media has gained considerable attention as a strategy for improving public health. Yet despite this recognition, the practice has not drawn commensurate academic attention. Different from individual health protection behavior, first aid knowledge learning is a collective preventive health behavior due to its collective attributes of protecting the health of others. To address the behavior, we…

The future of the labor force: Higher cognition and more skills
Open AccessWen Zhang, Kee‐hung Lai et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2024
Skills can be categorized into two types: social-cognitive and sensory-physical. Sensory-physical skills, governed by explicit rules and transparent rationales, can be effectively executed through meticulous programming, with humans spontaneously trusting machines to perform these skills. In contrast, social-cognitive skills entail open interpretations reliant on personal opinions or intuition and are contextually and problem-dependent. The inher…

Open AccessFuzhen Liu, Kee‐hung Lai et al.ARTICLEInformation Technology and People2024
Purpose To promote the success of peer-to-peer accommodation, this study examines the effects of online host–guest interaction as well as the interaction's boundary conditions of listing price and reputation on listing popularity. Design/methodology/approach Using 330,686 data collected from Airbnb in the United States of America, the authors provide empirical evidence to answer whether social-oriented self-presentation and response rate influenc…

Understanding first aid knowledge adoption on social media with an extended information adoption model
Open AccessXiumei Ma, Yongqiang Sun et al.ARTICLEInternet Research2024Cited by: 1References: 2
Purpose Social media provides a convenient way to popularise first aid knowledge amongst the general public. So far, little is known about the factors influencing individuals’ adoption of first aid knowledge on social media. Drawing on the information adoption model (IAM), this study investigates the joint effects of cognitive factors (e.g. perceived information usefulness (PIU)), affective factors (e.g. arousal (AR)) and social factors (e.g. des…

How does physicians' educational knowledge-sharing influence patients' engagement? An empirical examination in online health communities
Open AccessXiumei Ma, Pengfei Zhang et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022
Online health communities (OHCs) are popular channels increasingly used by patients for acquiring professional medical knowledge to manage their own health. In OHCs, physicians provide not only consultation services but also educational medical knowledge to improve patient education. So far, it remains unknown regarding how the educational medical knowledge sharing influence engagement of patients in OHCs. Drawing on the signaling theory, we exam…

Does Industrial Waste Reuse Bring Dual Benefits of Economic Growth and Carbon Emission Reduction: Evidence of Incorporating the Indirect Effect of Economic Growth in China
Open AccessBin Zhang, Zhaohua Wang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2016
This article employs panel data from 28 Chinese provinces over the period 1999–2011 to analyze the effects of industrial waste reuse (IWR) on carbon emissions. The extant studies mainly consider the direct effects that individual firms garner from IWR while ignoring other possible indirect effects in a more macroscopic context. Considering this research void, this article examines the potential indirect effects of IWR on carbon emissions through …
Barriers to Promoting Eco‐Industrial Parks Development in China: Perspectives from Senior Officials at National Industrial Parks
Open AccessQinghua Zhu, Yong Geng et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2015
For at least the past two decades, eco‐industrial parks (EIPs) have been promoted as policy and commercial instruments for achieving industrial sustainable development. Yet, few EIPs have seen successful operational implementation, especially if they begin as standard industrial parks. Rapid economic growth, commensurate with increasing environmental damage in China, has resulted in officials’ further pursuing EIP policy as a significant element …
