I hope you enjoy reading the five articles in this issue 35-3 of Information Systems Management.
The first article, “’Just how risky is it anyway?’ The Role of Risk Perception and Trust on Click-through Intention,” by Obi Ogbanufe and Dan J. Kim, proposes a theoretical model by adopting and combining both risky decision-making and trust frameworks to explain how Internet users form their decisions to click-through URL links in a risky environment. The results reveal that computer risk propensity is positively associated with click-through intention, while malware risk perception reduces intention to click-through. Next, in “Feedback Mechanisms and Consumer Satisfaction, Trust and Repurchase Intention in Online Retail,” authors Hongpeng Wang, Rong Du, and Timothy Olsen analyze the moderating effects of perceived effectiveness of feedback mechanisms (PEFM) on the relationship between consumers’ satisfaction, trust, and repurchase intention. PEFMs were found to negatively moderate the satisfaction–trust relationship and positively moderate the trust–repurchase intention relationship. Further, provider recommendations and customer reviews are complementary with customers’ trust, but can substitute for prior experience with products. In the third article entitled “The effects of IT-related attributional style in voluntary technology training,” authors Stanislav Mamonov and Marios Koufaris evaluate the predictive value of IT-related attributional style and the intention to participate in voluntary training in the context of a mandatory enterprise resource planning system rollout. The findings show that individual IT-related attributional style is highly predictive of the intention to participate. The fourth article, “Business Process Management Success Framework for Transition Economies,” by Renata Gabryelczyk and Narcyz Roztocki, proposes a framework for Business Process Management adoption in transition economies which considers factors such as environment, external stakeholders’ impact, ownership, and implementation context in addition to 12 core Critical Success Factors. Finally, the last of the five articles, entitled “A generalized model for smartphone adoption and use in an Arab context: A cross-country comparison,” by Nisreen Ameen and Robert Willis, empirically evaluates an extension of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model to determine the factors associated with both behavioral intention and the actual use of smartphones by young Arab consumers.
