Purpose The applications of artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing and machine learning in e-commerce are growing. Recommender systems (RSs) are interaction-based technologies based on AI that can offer recommendations for products for use or of interest to a potential consumer. Curiosity, focused immersion and temporal dissociation are often treated as the dimensions of cognitive absorption, so exploring them separately can provide valuable insights into their dynamics. The paper aims to determine the effect of the cognitive absorption dimensions namely focused immersion, temporal dissociation and curiosity independently on RSs continuous use intention. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research design was used to explore the effect of dimensions of cognitive absorption on AI-driven RSs continuous use intention in e-commerce. Data were gathered from 452 active users of Amazon through an online cross-sectional survey and were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings The findings indicated that curiosity and focused immersion directly affect RSs continuous use intention, but temporal dissociation does not affect RSs continuous use intention. Originality/value The current research focused on Amazon’s RSs that use AI and machine learning techniques. The research aimed to empirically explore the effects of the dimensions of cognitive absorption separately on AI-driven RSs continuous use intention in e-commerce. This research may be of interest to executives working in both public and private industries to better harness the potential of recommendations driven by AI to maximize RSs’ reuse and to enhance customer loyalty.

Aim The aim of this study is to explore the current evidence on business acumen of nurse leaders. Background Health systems across the world are under immense pressure to stay solvent, maintaining services within a defined budget as we recover from the COVID‐19 pandemic. Effective nurse leaders not only need to have strong leadership and management skills but also strong business acumen to navigate the complexity of the system. Evaluation A scoping review of research was undertaken, using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta‐analyses (PRISMA) scoping extension checklist, with 571 studies found across multiple databases, 17 meeting final review eligibility. Key Issues Findings were noted surrounding three themes: the value of business acumen in nursing, the gaining of business acumen in health care as a nursing leader and the utilizing business acumen as a nurse leader in the health care industry. Conclusion While nursing leadership and management were well researched, limited studies covered the specific focus of business acumen in health care for nurses or broader clinicians. Implications for Nursing Management While evidence points towards business acumen being important for health care leaders in balancing care and cost, inadequate research limits the recognition of these professional capabilities of nurse leaders. Further understanding could inform future policy and curriculum, as well as empower our next generation of clinicians.

Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of atmosphere on consumer emotions and wine purchasing behaviours to assist winery management in the development and communication of a strong positioning strategy. Studies in retail have indicated the importance of atmosphere in relation to consumer emotions and behaviours. Until now, limited evidence has existed on how the three dimensions of atmosphere may influence consumers visiting wineries. Design/methodology/approach The study consisted of surveys conducted in two stages. The first survey (n = 170) explored the factors applied in this study, and the second survey (n = 377) analysed the relationship between the atmosphere, emotions and consumer purchasing behaviours at wineries. Findings Findings indicated that atmosphere at a winery has the potential to positively influence consumer emotions and wine purchasing behaviours. Live music and the natural environment were particularly formative of atmosphere and consumer emotions and their subsequent wine purchasing while visiting the winery. The distinction allowed this study to analyse factors important for consumers to increase the time they spent at the winery. Research limitations/implications The geographical location of the study is limited to one state in Australia. Originality/value In distinguishing between different consumer wine purchasing behaviours, drinking wine and buying wine, this paper contributed to three important intersectoral fields: wine tourism, atmosphere and consumer behaviour. Additional factors that contributed to consumer emotions and wine purchasing behaviours included live music and the natural environment at wineries.
