For small and medium size enterprises, the paper evaluates the credit of developed model in studying the efficient factors in internet technology acceptance, which is one of the most applicable communication tools in e-commerce. The added factors, taken from models and means of e-readiness assessment, are ＂existing information technology infrastructures＂ as well as ＂organization＇s training＂. The authors study 45 small and medium size enterprises in the city of Tehran, which are active in information technology products and services. Using Lisrel structural equation modelling, it is shown that there is a meaningful relationship between the added factors and the variables indicating internet network usage. Therefore, the better factors of e-readiness assessment lead to the higher acceptance level of electronic communication tools in e-commerce.展开更多

文摘This study introduces the type-I heavy-tailed Burr XII(TIHTBXII)distribution,a highly flexible and robust statistical model designed to address the limitations of conventional distributions in analyzing data characterized by skewness,heavy tails,and diverse hazard behaviors.We meticulously develop the TIHTBXII’s mathematical foundations,including its probability density function(PDF),cumulative distribution function(CDF),and essential statistical properties,crucial for theoretical understanding and practical application.A comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation evaluates four parameter estimation methods:maximum likelihood(MLE),maximum product spacing(MPS),least squares(LS),and weighted least squares(WLS).The simulation results consistently show that as sample sizes increase,the Bias and RMSE of all estimators decrease,with WLS and LS often demonstrating superior and more stable performance.Beyond theoretical development,we present a practical application of the TIHTBXII distribution in constructing a group acceptance sampling plan(GASP)for truncated life tests.This application highlights how the TIHTBXII model can optimize quality control decisions by minimizing the average sample number(ASN)while effectively managing consumer and producer risks.Empirical validation using real-world datasets,including“Active Repair Duration,”“Groundwater Contaminant Measurements,”and“Dominica COVID-19 Mortality,”further demonstrates the TIHTBXII’s superior fit compared to existing models.Our findings confirm the TIHTBXII distribution as a powerful and reliable alternative for accurately modeling complex data in fields such as reliability engineering and quality assessment,leading to more informed and robust decision-making.

文摘The Master Intelligent interview is based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response(SOR)theory,this study integrates key constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM)and the Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB),namely attitude and behavioral intention,to develop a dual-path model of how AI empowerment influences college graduates’acceptance of intelligent interview technology.Taking AI empowerment as the independent variable,perceived risk and attitude as mediating variables,and behavioral intention as the outcome variable,the study employs questionnaire surveys and structural equation modeling(SEM)for empirical analysis.The results show that AI empowerment exerts a significant positive impact on attitude,perceived risk,and behavioral intention.Both perceived risk and attitude play significant mediating roles between AI empowerment and behavioral intention.Interestingly,perceived risk does not suppress behavioral intention;instead,it positively promotes it through a“rational trade-off”mechanism.Moreover,perceived risk and attitude form a significant chain-mediated pathway,revealing a continuous psychological transmission mechanism of“rational cognition-emotional adjustment-behavioral decision-making”.This study enriches the theoretical framework of AI technology acceptance,extends the application of the SOR model to the context of intelligent recruitment,and provides valuable implications for optimizing university career guidance and enterprise recruitment systems.

文摘Payment for Ecosystem Services(PES)has been widely acknowledged as an effective tool for mitigating grassland degradation and enhancing ecosystem services provision.However,critical factors,such as herders'willingness to accept(WTA)preferences and compensation expectations,are often overlooked,leading to insufficient effectiveness of PES initiatives.This study focused on grassland ecological compensation policy(GECP),quantifying herders'WTA compensation for grassland grazing bans.Through face-to-face surveys and employing the contingent valuation method,we estimated households'WTA for participating in a grassland conservation program to bolster ecosystem service provision.Our findings indicated that herders required an average compensation of 237 CNY mu^(-1)yr^(-1)to engage in the grazing ban program.Notably,herders'environmental awareness positively influenced their willingness to participate,whereas larger family sizes were negatively correlated with WTA.Additionally,herders in better health,with higher livestock incomes or categorized as semi-herders,tended to accept lower compensation levels.These insights are crucial for improving the effectiveness of GECP and provide valuable reference points for similar analyses in economically disadvantaged and ecologically fragile regions.
文摘The advancement of generative AI has reshaped EFL education,particularly in EFL writing.This qualitative case study investigates the perceptions of Chinese college students and EFL teachers towards the integration of Gen AI in EFL writing.The research involved semi-structured interviews with 13 students and 10 EFL teachers.Thematic analysis,guided by the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM),was employed to analyze the qualitative data.The findings reveal the perceptions of students and teachers regarding the role of generative AI in EFL writing.Regarding usefulness,students appreciate Gen AI for reducing writing difficulty and enhancing efficiency,though some note that it may produce logical flaws and misinformation.Teachers share similar perceptions,but stress effectiveness depends on students’language level.Some teachers also advocate traditional writing initially to build foundational skills.On the ease of use,most students find it easy interacting with Gen AI but mention dialogical understanding challenges.Both students and teachers stress clear prompts are crucial,indicating“AI interaction literacy”should be part of teaching.Moreover,teachers worry that Gen AI’s ease of use may lead to over-reliance.These results reveal contradicting goals of using Gen AI:students value efficiency,while teachers focus on ability cultivation.These insights guide more effective integration of Gen AI in EFL writing education.
