Most of the information security management research involving fear appeals is guided by either protection motivation theory or the extended parallel processing model. Over time, extant research has extended these theories, as well as their derivative theories, in a variety of ways, leading to several theoretical and empirical inconsistencies. The...

Advertising has been the most common strategy for content monetization. However, behavioral data collection for personalized advertisements has raised privacy concerns. This study explores users’ perceptions of browser-based cryptocurrency mining (BCM) as an alternative content monetization method to online advertising. The mining process is an ess...

In this paper, we focus on early-stage diffusion of co-dependent IT innovations, which are a type of innovation in which the overall innovation consists of two complementary parts that are adopted by two different adopter communities but where both the parts need to be jointly adopted by the two co-adopter communities for successful diffusion of th...

Increased computing power and greater access to online data have led to rapid growth in the use of computer-aided text analysis (CATA) and machine learning methods. Using “big data”, researchers have not only advanced new streams of research, but also new research methodologies. Noting this trend and simultaneously recognizing the value of traditio...

Employer review sites have grown popular over the last few years, with 86 percent of job seekers referring to reviews on these sites before applying to job positions. Though the antecedents of review helpfulness have been studied in various contexts, it has received limited attention in the employee review context. These sites provide review text i...

We develop a social network based model of user-generated content (social support) in online health communities. Grounded in the social presence and the social network theories, we hypothesize the differential impacts of an online health community member's brokerage and influence in the web-of-support on a) extent of social support, and two self-ab...

Objective: We studied the impact of online social support on patient self-care behavior in an online health community for HIV patients. We conceptualized emotional and informational support into nuanced sub-dimensions. We explored Methods: We used data from 30,035 threads from POZ, an online health community for HIV patients. Our key variables – se...

We build an online social support model of self-care behavior for patients of stigmatized chronic diseases. We conceptualize three dimensions of informational support namely objective information, experiential information, and crowd consensus, and hypothesize their positive effect on self-care behavior. We conceptualize three dimensions of emotiona...

Using the Elaboration Likelihood Model, we build a social presence model of task performance and hypothesize that social presence impacts task performance through two routes - central and peripheral. Using a meta- analytic sample of 80 studies, we test our model with the multivariate meta-analytic structural equation modeling methodology. We find s...

This paper is part of the SIGMIS CPR doctoral consortium, summarizing a dissertation in progress. This dissertation analyzes the social presence construct in three essays from three perspectives: consequences, "competition" aspect, and antecedents.

This paper summarizes a poster which presents an overview of a proposed healthcare study. The study is aimed to motivate patients, enhance patient self-care of diabetes and improve health outcomes. This study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of a gamified social media app with a competitive game element in conjunction with home remote patient...

We develop a model of knowledge creation in rapidly changing academic disciplines and posit that it is important for scholars in such environments to explore a variety of knowledge domains as opposed to focusing on narrow domains to ensure publication productivity. We hypothesize that in the IS domain, an example of a rapidly changing knowledge env...

Background: Healthcare settings require a system that detects errors and near misses and learns from them to prevent their reoccurrence. Development of such a system requires engagement of all stakeholders. Retrospective reporting, analyzing and preventing future errors is currently the most prevalent approach to reducing harm to patients. It is im...

Security and availability risks have become one of the biggest challenges for firms that are transitioning into the cloud and for firms offering the cloud services as well. Security issues have gained prominence in recent years due to the unprecedented growth in Cloud computing service offerings and their adoption. An event of a security breach may...

Given the importance of knowledge transfer in individual performances, we assess the effect of knowledge flows complexity on knowledge transfer performance in a simulation model. In this regard this paper seeks to contribute to knowledge literature by proposing a new knowledge complexity framework, in which we explore the structural (diversity of k...

Recent years have witnessed unprecedented growth in adoption and offerings of cloud computing services. Security and availability risks have risen to become one of the biggest challenges and concerns for not only businesses that are transitioning into the cloud but also companies offering the cloud services. The focus of this paper is to investigat...
