This research aims to explore the impact of AI-induced anxiety on the adoption of mobile payment services in supply chain firms, viewed through the lens of Mental Accounting Theory. In an era driven by technological advancement, supply chain companies' use of mobile payment services has arisen as a crucial problem. This study is the first to investigate the complicated links between AI-induced anxiety, perceived utility, and the adoption rate of mobile payment systems using the Mental Accounting Theory as a theoretical framework. The study employs a quantitative research approach, using Smart PLS for regression analysis, and gathers its data from major supply chain business players. Our analysis offered important insights into the many aspects influencing the adoption of mobile payment services in supply chain companies. The acceptance rate was shown to be adversely connected with AI-induced anxiety and integration expenses, posing obstacles for businesses seeking to embrace mobile payment systems. In contrast, characteristics such as perceived utility, usability, confidence in security, and backing from upper management were positively connected with adoption rates. These findings provide not only theoretical contributions to the current research, but also concrete advice for supply chain practitioners seeking to exploit mobile payment systems for operational and strategic advantage.

Pandemic moments have generated mental and emotional problems in students at all levels. These have been affected by the format of virtual classes, the mandatory confinement and the little physical relationship due to the existing restrictions, generating academic burnout and anxiety in university students. In this context, the objective was to know the existing relationship between burnout and anxiety in students of the FIS-UNCP, the 15-question Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Questionnaire (MBI-SS) was used with the dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion, Cynicism and Loss of Academic Efficacy and 5 questions to know the level of technological anxiety or technostress, with a population of 328 university students of 10 semesters, through the questionnaire in Office Forms. The research design was non-experimental, transectional, with a qualitative-quantitative approach and descriptive-explanatory levels. The descriptive data analysis was made based on the scale, allowing the identification of students with burnout and the structural equation modeling facilitated the establishment of the relationship between the variables. The study showed that 26 students (7.93%) suffer from academic burnout. At the same time, it has been demonstrated that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional exhaustion and lack of academic efficacy, with technological anxiety with path values of 0.701 and 0.345 respectively, the p-values allowed demonstrating hypotheses 1 and 3 formulated. At the level of the structural model, it allows anticipating future results, since the coefficient of determination (R2) calculated was 0.838.

One time series model developed to predict economic data is Spatial Vector Autoregressive with Exogenous Variables (SpVARX). This model can accommodate simultaneously the interrelationships between variables, the impact of exogenous variables, and Inter-regional linkages. However, this model has not adjusted the nonlinearity relationships between variables. The relationship between economic variables is usually not linear. Therefore, we introduce the Threshold Spatial Vector Autoregressive with exogenous variables (TSpVARX). This paper assesses the forecasting performance of TSpVARX and compares it with SpVARX models. We conducted a simulation study by generating 100 times the simulation data with twelve scenarios. We found that the forecasting performance of the TSpVARX model is better than SpVARX when there is a nonlinear relationship between variables. In addition, we find that the forecasting performance of TSpVARX models will improve as the sample size increases.

Research on human-computer interaction currently focuses on enhancing system usability by establishing an appropriate user interface (UI) that depends on users’ features. Online users typically have different perceptions of their favored interface design depending on their preferences. Thus, those interface preferences could be utilized to recognize online users’ identities. User authentication is another critical issue that should be considered to improve online security mechanisms without compromising usability. This study investigates the feasibility of using UI preferences as evidence of user identity. The proposed method applies to the design preferences of users dealing with online systems (e.g., e-exam and e-banking). These preferences are closely associated with individual characteristics, whether physical, cognitive, psychological, psychomotor, demographic, or experience based. Many design characteristics could be used in online systems; for example, the e-exam interface design may use features such as the font (size, color, and face), the number of questions per page, background color, questions group, timer type, and sound alert. The feasibility evaluation of this study indicated that 96.8% of research participants have variations in their preferences, and each participant kept 94.5% of their design preferences throughout different sessions.

This study investigates how knowledge-oriented leadership impacts on innovation performance both directly and indirectly mediated electronic based knowledge management systems (e-based KMS). Where, electronic knowledge management system consists of knowledge management infrastructures, and knowledge management processes. Primary data was obtained through a questionnaire given to 110 managers or directors of the manufacturing company as respondents. In addition, data were also obtained through observation techniques, and interviews with respondents. Both descriptive statistical analysis, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used as an analysis method. The findings suggest that knowledge-oriented leadership has a positive, direct, and significant influence on knowledge management infrastructures as well as knowledge management processes. However, knowledge-oriented leadership has no direct influence on innovation performance. The findings also indicate that electronic knowledge management systems that consist of knowledge management infrastructures, and knowledge management processes have a direct, positive, and significant influence on innovation performance. This study suggested that there are two key pathways for businesses to improve their innovation performance i.e.: enhancing the technological, cultural, and structural infrastructure of the company, and enhancing knowledge creation, use, and utilization.

This paper aims to examine the mediating effect of attitude toward the continued application of e-tax in the association between perceived usefulness, ease of use, compatibility, and intention to continue applying e-tax based on empirical evidence from Vietnamese tax officials. Thereby, the research model is proposed and the hypotheses are developed on the basis of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study applies a quantitative analysis with a research sample of 343 tax officials from tax authorities at all levels within Vietnam. This study applies stratified and convenient sampling techniques. Structural equation modeling with AMOS was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The results revealed that among perceived usefulness, ease of use, and compatibility only perceived usefulness has a direct impact and positive relationship to the intention to continue applying e-tax and the attitude toward the continued application of e-tax also has a direct impact and positive relationship to the intention to continue applying e-tax. Especially, the results prove the mediating effects of attitude toward the continued application of e-tax on the relationships towards the intention to continue applying e-tax. This study contributes to both the literature and practice. The limitations and future research implications are discussed.
