“…Businesses have used mobile technology to revamp their business strategies, improve productivity by expanding business territory, and decrease employee use of physical office time (Kaupins et al, 2007;Luttenegger, 2010). Backed by improved productivity and increased availability of workers, many businesses cover the expenses of cell phone and text message use for work-related matters (Kaupins et al, 2007;Majumdar & Chang, 2010). However, an increase in productivity may also increase risk to the employee and the employer.…”

“…While acceptance of the technology has been found to increase employee productivity (Eastin et al, 2007;Majumdar & Chang, 2010), there has also been an increase in technology misuse resulting in risks to employees' health and safety (Eastin et al, 2007;Madden & Jones, 2008;Tetrick & Quick, 2010). Employers are generally responsible for work-related safety of employees (Henshaw et al, 2007), and have placed a priority on better understanding of the relationships between antecedents and accidents to improve the organization's safety climate (Beus, Payne, Bergman, & Arthur, 2010).…”

Employers’ increased acceptance and use of mobile technology has provided employees with the ability to be in constant contact with their employer and clients through multiple communication platforms. While mobile technology has increased employee productivity, research is beginning to show an association between an upward trend of mobile technology use to an increase of fatal and nonfatal accidents. The purpose of this study was to determine if organizational safety climate influences the relationship between text message use and work-related accidents. A significant relationship was found between text message use and work-related accidents. However, there was no statistically significant main effect of organizational safety climate on work-related accidents, or interaction effect of text message use and organizational safety climate on work-related accidents. Additional research is recommended to investigate the relationships between the variables – both quantitative with larger and more diverse samples and qualitative for more in depth information about the phenomenon.

Despite extensive research on e‐waste management, the integrative responsibilities of multi‐stakeholders and the dependency on technology remain underexplored. This study aims to develop an integrative multi‐stakeholder responsibility model to advance the net‐zero goal in e‐waste management. Following the PRISMA protocol, we conducted a systematic review of 99 articles. The review revealed three themes of stakeholder responsibility, four performance measure categories, three e‐waste solutions, and four roles of smart technologies. These insights informed the development of a conceptual model to enhance environmental performance in e‐waste. The proposed model emphasises critical attributes of multi‐stakeholder relationships, including partnership, shared responsibility, inclusiveness, and transparency; it offers practical guidance for multi‐stakeholders in prioritising efficient and mature technologies to be adopted and diffused, enabling effective e‐waste management. Our study extends stakeholder theory from an organisation‐centric to a problem‐based perspective, highlighting its practical implications for effective e‐waste management and suggesting future research directions for sustainability.

Explaining the internet usage of SMEs

2015

Purpose -Small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) are underrepresented in market orientation and internet-related research. Yet, marketing-related issues represent some of the most important problems for SMEs. The purpose of this paper is to explain why SMEs use the internet in business processes and to explore the relationship between market orientation and internet usage. Design/methodology/approach -The study amalgamates the technology acceptance model, the motivation model and the integrated model of technology acceptance into one model. Hypotheses are tested with survey data from Belgian SMEs using partial least squares. Findings -One of the findings is that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are positively significantly related to internet usage intention. No significant relationships were found between behavioural norms and perceived ease of use and between perceived ease of use and the intention to use the internet. Practical implications -Managerial implications include that SME-internet training providers should focus on methods to increase the user's perceived enjoyment (intrinsic motivation) instead of emphasizing the perceived ease of use of the internet. Originality/value -Researchers as well as practitioners have stressed the gains from implementing market-orientated strategies in firms. Together with the prominence of studies about patterns and characteristics of internet usage, this calls for studies that integrate these two streams of literature. The study shows in what way market orientation is related to the capability to use internet to a firm's long term advantage. Up till now the relationship between market orientation and internet use has hardly received attention.
