“…It is hoped that this conceptual framework, which to the best of knowledge of the authors is the first to conceptually and contextually integrate the two grand theories of technology acceptance to better explain how exactly a particular technology (or technologically-mediated systems, and in this case, non-profits' social media) can be designed to create and satisfy expectancies and conditions required for adoption, will help non-profits to develop effective social media strategies that widen their reach to and in non-urban communities and thus dramatically increase their ability to initiate, innovate, and deliver non-profit activities. In doing so, this paper also answers the call by Lim (2018aLim ( , 2018b in the Australasian Journal of Information Systems to revisit and reposition existing theories in information systems and technology as impetuses for greater disciplinary and managerial progress.…”

“…In order for academics to contribute to the agenda of overcoming the digital divide between urban and non-urban communities and between for-profit and non-profit organizations, this paper contends that the integration and contextualization of grand theories of technology acceptance is especially important and must be considered. Specifically, the integration of grand theories will overcome the criticism of theoretical simplicity, which occurs when each theory is taken individually, whereas the contextualization of grand theories will allow for greater practical value to emerge from theorization in academic research (Lim, 2018a(Lim, , 2018b.…”

This paper describes perceptions of social media as a communication tool and source of information for non-profit activities in non-urban communities. It proposes a conceptual framework predicated on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and the information systems success model as theoretical lenses and suggests that four key factors influence the intentions of non-urban communities to adopt and use social media for communication and information of non-profit activities: performance expectancy (i.e. perception of the benefits of using non-profits’ social media to enhance performance), effort expectancy (i.e. perception of how easy it will be to use non-profits’ social media), social conditions (i.e. expectation of others in non-urban communities to use non-profits’ social media), and facilitating conditions (i.e. access to resources and technology as well as self-efficacy with respect to use of non-profits’ social media). It also suggests that three key enablers allow non-profits to leverage those key factors: information quality (i.e. quality of information about non-profit activities), system quality (i.e. quality of social media interface and technology used by non-profits), and service quality (i.e. quality of interactions between representatives of non-profits and non-urban communities on social media). Further empirical testing to validate the conceptual framework, using a non-urban community sample, and strategic investments in key enablers and determinants of high impact and significance should help non-profits to develop effective social media strategies to widen their reach to and in non-urban communities.

“…Prior research (Maphalala & Adigun, 2021;Mutambara & Bayaga, 2020) has also confirmed that PU and PEOU are the most powerful predictors of technology acceptance in education. PU and PEOU are also influenced by other external factors such as social influence (SI), computer self-efficacy, and facilitating conditions (PR) (Al Kurdi et al, 2020;Chen, 2020;Lim, 2018aLim, , 2018b. According to Chen (2010), the strongest predictor of preservice teachers' acceptance of technology in the classroom is their selfefficacy.…”

Teaching and learning of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to preservice teachers in rural universities has always been a challenge, resulting in poor student performance. The outbreak of COVID-19 has made it exacerbated this owing to lockdown restrictions in most institutions including universities. Consequently, universities switched to virtual learning (VL), even though most of them (especially rural universities) were not ready for it. This worsened the plight of struggling rural STEM students who had to make do with this new VL. Hence, this study focussed on rural STEM preservice teachers’ acceptance of virtual learning. Prior studies have shown that adoption of a new information system depends on its acceptance by users; however, very little is known about the acceptance of VL by rural STEM preservice teachers. Based on the technology acceptance model, the study proposed and used the STEM preservice teacher acceptance virtual learning model to investigate factors that predict rural STEM preservice teachers' actual use of VL. Partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to analyse data from 250 valid questionnaires. The model explained 74.6% of the variance in rural STEM pre-service teachers' actual use of VL. Latent variables, facilitating conditions, attitude towards use, and perceived ease of use had a direct impact on the actual use of VL. Attitude to use also played a mediating role between actual use and predictors, perceived enjoyment, perceived social influence, computer self-efficacy, and perceived usefulness. It was concluded that rural STEM pre-service teachers embrace VL given the desperate pandemic situation.

“…a mass market for producers and a right to access for consumers). To a large degree, the sharing economy also adds to the technology aspects of marketing (Chylinski et al, 2020; Esmaeili et al, 2019; Filho et al, 2020; Gupta et al, 2019; Lim, 2018b, 2018c; Moriuchi et al, 2020; Smith, 2020; Taghizadeh et al, 2019; Taillon and Huhmann, 2019; Taylor et al, 2020; Zadeh et al, 2019; Zare et al, 2019), by providing an understanding of how technology can be used to democratise and facilitate the production and consumption of sharing practices. More important, the sharing economy extends marketing thought in the co-creation and co-innovation branch of the marketing literature (Abdul-Ghani et al, 2019; Crick, 2020; Fernandes and Remelhe, 2016; Mostafa, 2016; Whalen and Akaka, 2016), by helping marketers understand how producers and consumers can collectively innovate, create value, and engage in sustainable marketing exchanges in a profitable but inclusive way.…”

Many marketers have struggled to harmonise the disparate and fragmented underpinnings characterising the sharing economy under a single umbrella that is not only comprehensive and inclusive but also distinctive enough to account for its unique peculiarities in myriad contexts. This paper adopts an interrogative approach to answer some of the more pertinent questions about the sharing economy, specifically those related to its concepts, enablers, opportunities, challenges, current insights, and ways forward. In doing so, it clarifies the unique peculiarities characterising the sharing economy and enriches understanding of the multitude of alternatives on which consumers and organisations can embark to participate in and leverage off the sharing economy. Implications to theory, practice, and future research conclude the paper.
