“…Similar findings were identified by Forman et al [75], who showed that the gamification element has a more positive effect on men than on women by arousing their competitive and achievement-oriented motivation. Brandts et al [76] also support this finding and explain that task-based goal setting increases task completion and performance, but only for men.…”

Background: A survey conducted by Mckinsey and Company reported that as of May 2022, as many as 26% of Indonesians had started to actively engage in physical activity, 32% had regular physical activity, and 9% exercised more intensely. The industrial revolution 4.0 made fitness applications used to track people's sports performance develop rapidly. Even so, public interest in using mobile fitness applications (MFA) for a long time is still relatively low.Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of incentives on fitness applications (self-monitoring, social support, platform rewards, and external influence) on users' continuance usage intention by using the gender moderation effect. Methods:This study used a quantitative approach with an online questionnaire involving 379 valid respondents and a qualitative approach with 30 respondents who were interviewed. Quantitative data were processed using the covariance-based structural equation modeling. Qualitative data is processed using thematic analysis. MFA included in the object of this research include Apple Fitness, Strava, Nike Run Club, Fita, and all MFA used as sports or physical activity companions for their users. Results:The results of data analysis show that three incentives namely self-monitoring, platform rewards, and external influence except social support have an effect on the perceived usefulness of application users. In addition, gender has also been shown to influence user behavior to increase their physical activity. This research shows that women are more likely to be motivated to exercise because of social and external features, while men pay more attention to tracking features and challenges or rewards.Conclusions: This research can contribute to the field of mobile health to provide guidance for fitness application developers in developing their application features.

“…Based on previous research on work-family balance (Jennings & McDougald, 2007) and on goal realization (Brandts et al, 2021), we expected that sex might serve as a moderator of the relationships tested in our model. However, unlike in some studies that reported such an effect (Jennings & McDougald, 2007;Recuero & Segovia, 2021), we did not find support for this hypothesis.…”

“…There are differences between male and female entrepreneurs both in work-family balance and in goal realization. For example, female entrepreneurs experience higher WFC than male entrepreneurs (Jennings & McDougald, 2007); women generally choose lower goals, while men perform better in goal realization than women (Brandts et al, 2021). Moreover, sex was found to be a moderator of the relationship between FWF and entrepreneurial success (Powell & Eddleston, 2013).…”

Entrepreneurs running their businesses usually pursue goals associated with work and family functioning. The efficiency of goal realization in these two areas of activity varies and may depend on balance between the two domains. The study aimed to answer the question of how interplays between the work and family domains (work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict, work-to-family facilitation, and family-to-work facilitation) were related to the realization of work and family goals in entrepreneurs. It also tested if sex was a moderator of these relationships. A total of 246 entrepreneurs participated in the study; they were married or in stable non-marital relationships. Structural equation modeling showed that family-to-work conflict is negatively related to work goal realization and family goal realization, and work-to-family facilitation is positively related to family goal realization. Sex does not moderate the relationships analyzed. The study provides insight into the relationships of conflict and facilitation to goal realization in people running their businesses.

“…The goal setting within mHealth tools is normally done within the application and this personal goal setting within a private environment is more likely to be preferred by women. 82 The external healthcare provider or program coach accountability was also seen as an important motivator, as was engagement and support from peers. These findings support that mHealth programs for women with GDM or overweight/obesity should incorporate features that support motivation, including goal setting, recognition of risk, external accountability, and peer support as essential components.…”

“…The goal‐setting aspect of mHealth programs is a consistent motivational finding across populations, genders, and age groups. The goal setting within mHealth tools is normally done within the application and this personal goal setting within a private environment is more likely to be preferred by women 82 .

SummarymHealth interventions play an increasingly important role in health behavior change for gestational diabetes or peripartum obesity management. This qualitative systematic review and meta‐synthesis aims to explore women's perceptions of mHealth behavior change interventions for gestational diabetes and/or overweight/obesity management during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), and Psychological Information Database (PsycINFO) databases were searched using a Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation and Research type (SPIDER) concept framework through to February 2024. Included studies were quality assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist. Study findings were evaluated using reflexive thematic analysis and GRADE‐Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative Research (CERQual) checklist. We identified 29 studies, representing 604 women's views from one upper middle‐income and nine high‐income countries. Two themes were generated: mHealth as a supportive tool; and mHealth as a personalizable tool. Women highlighted the importance of self‐monitoring, information trustworthiness, peer support, motivational tools (goal setting, risk awareness, and problem solving) and convenience in achieving behavior change using mHealth technology. They suggest mHealth programs incorporate these elements to support user engagement and improved health outcomes. Understanding what women want as mHealth users is particularly important for effective interventions in gestational diabetes, weight management, and chronic disease prevention. Creating a better, more woman‐centered experience by addressing central engagement issues should result in improved maternal health outcomes.
