The present study investigates the impact of perceived value metrics in driving satisfaction and behavioral intention to use e-resource among its users. Utilitarian, hedonic, uniqueness, epistemic, and economic are key values selected for the purpose of investigation in the study. This empirical study is carried out through a survey and responses have been analyzed using structural equation modelling. The target group is selected by means of simple random sampling (users of e-resources in selected business schools). Findings of the study reveal that utilitarian values, hedonic values, epistemic values, and uniqueness values have a significant impact on the usage intention of e-resources; however, economic values reflect an insignificant relationship to intention to use e-resources. The study is a distinctive piece of work on investigating the most and the least significant value(s) associated with satisfaction and usage intentions of e-resources.

This study aims to understand the overall experiences of students who use notebook computers in class by using a qualitative approach. Interview data were collected from 23 Korean college students at a Korean university, who use notebook computers in their classes; the data were analyzed through the constant comparison method. The results from this study can be categorized into two themes: the positive and negative effects of using a notebook computer in class, and different perspectives on the effects of using a notebook computer in class. The positive effects of notebook computer usage were specified as production of lecture notes, performing searches for information, management of learning materials, and effective time management. However, behaviors such as perusing other works not associated with the class were indicated as negative effects. The participants had different perceptions about the effect of notebook computer usage in increasing academic performance, although they were satisfied in their experience with notebook computers in general. These results imply that appropriate methods of technology usage are needed and that the support of an instructor is essential to achieve fully beneficial use of notebook computers in class.

Recently, with the proliferation of smart phones and mobile devices and the increase in the speed of mobile Internet, IT services are increasingly used in smart phones and mobile devices in a different way from the past. That is, a cloud service that downloads and uses data stored in the server in real time is expanding, and as a result, the security due to the continuous Internet connection of the user becomes a problem. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between factors affecting the continuous use of personal cloud service by using technology acceptance model. In addition to the technology acceptance model, confidentiality, privacy, accessibility, innovation, and self-efficacy were extracted from the existing research with emphasis on the characteristics of the cloud service and security factors. Moreover, the difference of intention to use among genders was verified through structural equation modeling with survey data from 262 personal cloud service users.

The purposes of this study is to derive the influence factors of Virtual Reality(VR) technologies acceptance based on the study of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and value-based acceptance model to test the use and acceptance of VR devices. The survey methods were used for this study, and the data from a total of 400 consumers were used for the analysis. And the structural equation model was used to analyze the data. The results of the study are as follows: First, benefit components perceived enjoyment(EN) and sacrifice components personal innovative(PI) of VR devices were positively related to perceived values and use intention of VR devices, although the benefit components performance expectancy(PE) was positively related to perceived values(PV) but was not positively related to the use intention of VR devices. Second, sacrifice components perceived cost(PC) and anxiety(ANX) of VR devices were negatively related to perceived value(PV), but were not negatively related to the use intention of VR devices. Third, perceived values was not obvious related to the use intention(UI) of VR devices. The results of this study contribute to the literature as a new attempt to examining the effect on consumer use intention in VR technology areas.

The purpose of this study was to examine how Korean students accept and use mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) and investigate related factors that potentially affect MALL usage. The participants were 244 undergraduate students who were surveyed with a questionnaire. The research model, which included students' self-efficacy, content reliability, interactivity, perceived enjoyment, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and behavioral intention to use MALL, was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed in order to analyze the overall results of modified TAM and the research model. The results indicated that TAM was a good theoretical tool to understand students' acceptance of MALL. In addition, all constructs, with the exception of self-efficacy and interactivity, had significant effects on students' acceptance possibilities of MALL. Limitations and suggestions for the further study are also presented.

This study verified the motivation to use Tiktok for Chinese teenagers. This paper investigated the influence of adolescents'use motivation on use satisfaction and continuous use intention. In addition, this study was to grasp the relationship between use motivation and sustained use intention as a mediating effect of use satisfaction. The survey was conducted online and offline, 315 adolescents were selected for analysis. For the data, factor analysis, multiple regression analysis, and effect analysis of parameters were conducted using the SPSS 25 program. As a result of the study, information/entertainment pursuit, communication, and self-expression were derived as motivation for use. Among these motivations, information/enterprise pursuit and communication were found to have a significant effect on use satisfaction and continued use intention. In addition, it was confirmed that use satisfaction has a mediating effect on intention to use continuously. But it is found that the self-expression factor handled as reuse intention have no significant influence on the use satisfaction and continuous use intention of Tiktok.

Quantified-self technologies (QSTs) provide functions for users to collect, track, and monitor personal data for self-reflection and acquisition of self-knowledge. Although QSTs require prolonged use to reap the attendant benefits, many users stop using their devices or tracking within weeks or months. To address this issue, this study seeks to determine ways to sustain the use of QSTs. Combining motivational affordance theory with technology continuance theory, this study develops a theoretical model that accounts for an individual's continued intention to use a QST. Within the proposed model, unique QST affordances were identified as antecedents of individual motivation in relation to technology continuance, and their different roles in stimulating hedonic, utilitarian, and eudaimonic motivations were examined. The model was tested using data collected from 180 QST users. Results demonstrate that although utilitarian and eudaimonic motivations are complementary forces in determining continuance intention, hedonic motivation loses its predictive power in favor of eudaimonic motivation. Tracking, visualizing, and sharing affordances play different roles in elevating user motivations. The sharing affordance does not influence utilitarian and eudaimonic motivations, but it positively influences hedonic motivation. This research contributes to the literature on technology continuance by shifting scholarly attention from hedonic-utilitarian duality to eudaimonic motivation, characterized by meaning, self-growth, and pursuit of excellence.

The Korean government is planning to invest a lot of funds for conservation of the soil. Accordingly, it needs quantitative information on the soil. This paper attempts to analyze the total value of soil quantitatively: the total economic value of soil can be divided into use value and non-use value. To this end, we apply a replacement cost method (RCM) and contingent valuation method (CVM). Especially, CVM is most widely used to measure the non-use value such as environment goods. We employed the one-and-one-half-bounded dichotomous choice (OOHBDC) for willingness to pay (WTP) elicitation and a spike model. The monthly mean WTP was estimated to be KRW 3,949 per household for the next 10 years, which is statistically significant at the 1% level. Expanding the value to the relevant population gives us KRW 897.9 billion per year and as of the end of 2015, the non-use value of soil was assessed to be KRW 838.6 billion. Meanwhile, use value is subdivided into direct use value and indirect use value. This value was calculated KRW 3,277 trillion and KRW 51.8 trillion, respectively. As a result, total economic value of soil is estimated to be KRW 3,330 trillion in Korea.
