“…Elaboration has also been included in several studies on media and MSM use (e.g., Eveland, 2001;Eveland & Dunwoody, 2002;Oeldorf-Hirsch, 2018;Zha et al, 2018). The concept refers to the cognitive effort a person invests into processing selected media content.…”

Quantifying the ubiquitous, ephemeral, and highly diverse patterns of mobile social media (MSM) use is a challenge for communication research. Most researchers employ retrospective survey measurement, thus depending on the accuracy of users' memories and generalizations. Alternatively, some researchers rely on in-situ measurement, being less dependent on users' memories and generalizations, but requiring random situation samples. To assess differences and similarities between these two measurement approaches we analyzed whether characteristics (duration and frequency of a usage episode, habit, elaboration, and gratifications) of MSM use (regarding Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube) vary between retrospective survey and mobile experience sampling measurement. We observe a consistent pattern of higher estimates in retrospect as compared to individual averages of in-situ reports. The absolute magnitude of these differences varies considerably between platforms and characteristics studied. Nonetheless, for most constructs and platforms we find low significant positive correlations between retrospective and aggregated in-situ values.

“…This model suggests that individual performance should match the task performed. The model has been widely tested and, to a great extent, has been found successful, with some moderating variables (Isaac et al 2017, Chen and Huang 2017, Zha et al 2018. Despite primarily focusing on individual performance, task-technology fit has been equally applied to organisations as a special case (Zigurs and Buckland 1998).…”

This study investigated the role of information systems usage in enhancing port logistics performance using the port of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as an example. Specifically, the study examined the role of information systems usage in contributing to reducing shipping and trucking costs, improving on-time delivery of goods and services, increasing trade volume, and enhancing organisational logistics capability. The study employed a quantitative approach, with questionnaires deployed to gather data about information systems usage and the attendant effects. The reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha. A canonical correlation analysis was performed to estimate the relationship of information systems usage to the port logistics performance. The study established that relationships exist between information systems usage and the perceived decrease in shipping and trucking costs, timely delivery of goods and services, perceived increase in trade volume, and enhanced organisational logistics capability. Based on these findings, the study recommends that ports consider building the capacity of their employees to utilise and manage information systems much more effectively and efficiently to increase the port's performance.

“…Importantly, these platforms allow users to access knowledge and exchange information expeditiously, communicate easily and cost efficiently, and create collaborative environments (Zhang et al, 2015;Kaya and Bicen, 2016;Hu et al, 2017;Manwong et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2018). In addition to facilitating learning, communication, and collaboration, social media provides supportive leisure and entertainment environments (Kaya and Bicen, 2016;Zha et al, 2018).…”

Young adults are currently among the heaviest users of Internet-based social media applications. The goal of this study was to develop and empirically validate a conceptual model to test associations between students' attitudes toward social media and their experiences in social media use and immersion. Participants were 9,633 students (average age 16 years; 4,702 males, 4,931 female) who randomly selected from 150 high schools in Taiwan. Participants completed questionnaire surveys describing their attitudes toward social media, immersion experiences, and Big Five personality traits. Structural equation modeling was used to determine factors that predicted and moderated social media immersion. The results of this study highlight the impact that specific personality traits have on the connections between attitudes toward social media and the immersion young adults experience when engaged with social media platforms. These findings suggest that schools and families should establish guidelines to protect young adults from excessive immersion in social media usage, ensure the safety of online environments for this user group, and inform youth regarding the proper use of social media.
