“…A number of articles mentioned that cultural health beliefs could influence symptom attribution and use of strategies such as self‐medication . Frequently, culture was presented as a reason workers fail to challenge hazardous work and to report or seek care for health conditions . A few noted the need to research the role of culture in influencing health and safety behaviors or perceptions .…”

“…Thirty‐two articles (30%) mentioned culture in relation to health and safety training, education, outreach or intervention. Most of these articles noted the challenges stemming from cultural differences and the need for or examples of culturally appropriate programs, with language and culture often mentioned together in this regard. In some cases, researchers advocated modifying workers’ attitudes and behaviors such as enhancing workers’ cultural skills, establishing and communicating proper conduct for employees, putting in place “An intervention for assertive communication skills such as disagreeing or refusing requests,” (p211) and deconstructing the “hardworking Latino” stereotype for day labourers and employers .…”

Background Health and safety researchers and practitioners have proposed that cultural differences help explain inequalities between foreign and native‐born workers. While cultural explanations for inequalities have long been debated in other fields, there exists little critique of cultural discourses in occupational health. Methods This article examines and discusses the discourse on culture in 107 articles on immigrant or migrant workers’ health published between 2011 and 2015. For each article, passages on culture were identified and analysed for both the context and the manner in which culture was discussed. Results The discourse on culture was found to be generally simplistic, individualistic, and uncritical, intentionally or unintentionally supporting the worldview that workers’ “otherness” is both cause of inequalities and target for interventions. Conclusion The article argues that empirical, theoretical and interdisciplinary work is needed to document the mechanisms and pathways that underlie health and safety inequalities by foreign‐born status.

“…Reviewing previous studies, scholars have studied recommendation intention mainly from two perspectives . On the one hand, many scholars have studied the recommendation system and recommendation mechanism (Liao et al . 2014;Itmazi & Hijazi 2015); on the other hand, some scholars have studied the intention to recommend from the perspective of word of mouth (Eisingerich et al .…”

This study examines factors affecting users' intention to recommend bike-sharing apps from the perspective of internal and external benefits perception. Since the end of 2016, bike sharing has suddenly taken off in China, and competition is fierce. Bike-sharing users' intention to recommend bike apps is particularly important as it can help operators attract more potential users. However, little research to date has focused on bike-sharing users' intention to recommend bike apps in the Chinese context. This study aims to fill this research gap using structural equation modelling. Data were collected from 209 bike-sharing app customers and the results show the following key findings: (1) the usefulness of the bike-sharing app is the most important factor contributing to users' intention to recommend, followed by economic incentive and ease of use; (2) users' trust that interacts with perceived ease of use has positive effect on users' intention to recommend, while users' trust that interacts with economic incentive has negative effect on users' intention to recommend. Implications for researchers and practice are discussed.
