The Effects of Monetary Incentives on Physicians’ Effort and Patient Satisfaction: Understanding the Links between Monetary Incentives and Physicians’ Effort
How monetary incentives promote physicians' job performance in terms of patient satisfaction has been widely discussed. The incentive dilemma debate concerns whether monetary incentives reduce physicians' intrinsic motivation at work and even lead to moral hazard. This study investigated monetary incentive policies in a hospital and analyzed how monetary incentives affect performance and behavior. By means of income composition grouping, a treatm…
Comparison of different BMI cut-offs to screen for child and adolescent obesity in urban China
Objectives: To determine which set of BMI cut-offs is the most appropriate to define child and adolescent obesity in urban China. Design: A cross-sectional study was carried out between 1 November and 31 December in 2017. Setting: Community Healthcare Center in Minhang District, Shanghai, China. Participants: A total of 12 426 children and adolescents aged 7–17 years were selected by cluster random sampling. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was t…
Using Gamification and Social Incentives to Increase Physical Activity and Related Social Cognition among Undergraduate Students in Shanghai, China
Gamification and social incentives are promising strategies to increase the effectiveness of web-based physical activity (PA) interventions by improving engagement. In this study, we designed a PA intervention integrating gamification and social incentives based on the most popular social networking service in China, WeChat. A controlled trial involving 52 Chinese undergraduate students was implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of the interve…
When and How Should Chinese Pregnant Women Exercise? A Longitudinal Study in China
This study aimed to examine when and how physical activity (PA) influences gestational weight gain (GWG) and infant birthweight (BW) by considering the PA's total volume, timing, intensity, and type, controlling for the influence of energy intake. A total of 1272 participants in different stages of pregnancy were recruited from hospital. The associations between PA and GWG or BW in the latter half of pregnancy were significant. Women with the hig…
Enablers and inhibitors of cloud computing assimilation: An empirical study
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand what inhibit or facilitate cloud computing (CC) assimilation. Design/methodology/approach The authors investigate the effects of two enablers, top management support (TMS) and government support (GS), and two inhibitors, organization inertia (OI) and data security risk (DSR) on CC assimilation. The authors posit that enablers and inhibitors influence CC assimilation separately and interactively. …
Investigating the impact of mobile SNS addiction on individual’s self-rated health
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how WeChat addiction influences users’ physical, mental, and social health. Design/methodology/approach A national survey was conducted in China. A total of 1,058 responses were collected from 31 regions of China. Findings The regression results show that WeChat addiction is negatively associated with users’ physical, mental, and social health. The negative effects are significant even after adj…
Preventing Substance Use Among Native American Early Adolescents

Cherokee Talking Circle (CTC), for the prevention of substance use among 100 Keetoowah‐Cherokee 6th graders as they transition to middle school. The impact of the CTC on substance use involvement (measured by the Global Assessment of Individual Needs – Quick) and Cherokee self‐reliance (measured by the Cherokee Self‐Re…
Avoidance of Information Technology Threats: A Theoretical Perspective1
This paper describes the development of the technology threat avoidance theory (TTAT), which explains individual IT users’ behavior of avoiding the threat of malicious information technologies. We articulate that avoidance and adoption are two qualitatively different phenomena and contend that technology acceptance theories provide a valuable, but incomplete, understanding of users’ IT threat avoidance behavior. Drawing from cybernetic theory and…
Assimilation of Enterprise Systems: The Effect of Institutional Pressures and the Mediating Role of Top Management1
We develop and test a theoretical model to investigate the assimilation of enterprise systems in the post-implementation stage within organizations. Specifically, this model explains how top management mediates the impact of external institutional pressures on the degree of usage of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The hypotheses were tested using survey data from companies that have already implemented ERP systems. Results from partia…
