In turn, customer–employee rapport positively affects CCBs (i.e., suggestion, assistance, benevolence, and tolerance). Additionally, the findings indicate that customer internal attribution positively moderates the relationship between EABs and customer–employee rapport.

Specifically, apart from instances where firms universally adopt the (export, export) entry mode across all tariff systems, maintaining the same entry mode under uniform and discriminatory tariff systems results in comparable welfare outcomes at the national and global levels. Additionally, the welfare of the importing country is found to be higher under a uniform tariff when firms adopt the (FDI, export) entry mode, and global welfare is higher under a discriminatory tariff when firms adopt the (export, FDI) entry mode. Finally, under other equilibrium entry strategies that emerge from different tariff systems, the importing country’s welfare is higher under a discriminatory tariff, whereas global welfare is higher under a uniform tariff.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"Uniform tariff; Discriminatory tariff; Foreign direct investment","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2025-10"},{"Tname":"王致遠","article_name":"How Do Meta-Organizations Reach Collective Action?

It compares a meta-organization, Abc Dental Group in Taiwan—a network of 12 independent dental clinics—with Princess Alexandra Hospital, a traditional hierarchical public hospital in Australia. Using primary data for the meta-organization and secondary data for the hospital, the study examines how each type approaches decision-making, implementation, knowledge sharing, and alignment. The results show that meta-organizations emphasize collaborative decision-making, voluntary adoption of innovations, peer learning networks, and identity-based alignment. These mechanisms allow clinics to maintain autonomy while working together on shared goals. In contrast, traditional hierarchical organizations rely on centralized decision-making, structured implementation, formal training, and authority-based alignment. These approaches ensure consistency and control across complex hospital systems but limit local flexibility. The findings demonstrate that organizational form fundamentally shapes strategies for digital transformation. Distributed methods in meta-organizations are particularly effective in contexts requiring clinical independence and adaptation to diverse environments, while centralized approaches in hospitals promote reliability and standardization.

Despite a significant investment from Straumann in 2014, Biodenta's journey underscores how cognitive biases, specifically over-optimism and overconfidence rooted in past successes, can skew strategic decisions, leading to detrimental business outcomes. The research employs a qualitative methodology, incorporating interviews with Biodenta's executive team and an analysis of public records to uncover the role of cognitive biases in the company's critical decision-making processes. The study reveals that even in the presence of considerable resources, entrepreneurial decisions are vulnerable to distortions stemming from cognitive biases such as over-optimism and overconfidence, particularly those shaped by previous successes. Our findings suggest that these cognitive biases, when coupled with uncertain market conditions and resource constraints, can lead to significant misjudgments and business failures. The case of Biodenta demonstrates the need for a more nuanced understanding of the factors that contribute to the success or failure of entrepreneurial ventures. The conclusion points towards the importance of recognizing and mitigating cognitive biases within the entrepreneurial decision-making process. It underscores the value of adopting structured decision-making frameworks and the potential role of external advisors, such as venture capitalists, in providing critical oversight. This research contributes to the body of entrepreneurial literature by elucidating the impact of cognitive biases on business decisions, thereby offering valuable insights into the complex dynamics of why businesses succeed or fail.

Recent studies have developed a solution with the cross-region transfer learning, i.e. transferring traffic knowledge from the source regions to target ones, whose traffic data and computing resources are limited. Nevertheless, relevant issues, including initialization selection and domain adaptation, have not been effectively tackled in the cross-region graph-based traffic forecasting. This paper proposes the cluster-granularity spatiotemporal transfer (CGSTT), which transfers the cluster-granularity knowledge from the source region to target one for the cross-region graph-based traffic forecasting, as not all source knowledge is positive to the target region.

We further theorize that follower support mitigates the negative effects of gender-role-inconsistent behaviors. We tested our hypotheses across four studies—an experience sampling field study (Study 1) and three experiments (Studies 2 through 4).

Globally, fighting disruptions and ensuring the supply of essential goods has become a significant challenge for governments. One possible solution is to strategically expand essential product capacity to increase supply resilience. Governments must cooperate closely with suppliers through carefully designed subsidy policies. A theoretical model based on current industry practices was built to explore and analyze the partnerships between governments and essential product suppliers. Our proposed model includes four players: the government, the supplier, the selling agent, and the consumer. We considered government subsidy policies for capacity expansion in building supply chains subject to two pricing designs: (1) government pricing and (2) market pricing. The results indicate that once a disruption occurs, social welfare increases with the government-subsidized expansion of essential goods to increase supply chain capacity. We analytically show that if the government does not support production expansion, the supplier can expand production only if the expansion cost is trivial. Furthermore, without government pricing, the product price increases in the government subsidy ratio. Hence, we conclude that government intervention is required to stabilize the market with proper price control, especially in the essential goods supply chain.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"reselling, agency selling, supply chain resilience, market pricing, government pricing, government subsidy","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-11"},{"Tname":"黃鋒樟","article_name":"Dynamic spatiotemporal straight-flow network for efficient learning and accurate forecasting in traffic","author":"C.

Hwang, C-H Chen, C-C Chang, C-C Chang","journal_name":"IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems","DES_EN":"To achieve accurate traffic forecasting, previous research has employed inner and outer aggregation for information aggregation, and attention mechanisms for heterogeneous spatiotemporal dependency learning, which results in inefficient model learning. While learning efficiency is critical due to the need for updating frequently the model to alleviate the impact of concept drift, limited work has focused on improving it. For efficient learning and accurate forecasting, this study proposes the dynamic spatiotemporal straight-flow network (DSTSFN). Breaking the aggregation paradigms employing both inner and outer aggregation, which may be redundant, the DSTSFN designs a straight-flow network that employs bipartite graphs to learn directly the dependencies between the source and target nodes for outer aggregation only. Instead of the attention mechanisms, the dynamic graphs\/networks, which outdo static ones by possessing time-varying dependencies, are designed in the DSTSFN to distinguish the dependency heterogeneity, making the model relatively streamlined. Additionally, two learning strategies based on respectively the curriculum and transfer learning are developed to further improve the learning efficiency of the DSTSFN. Our study could be the first work designing the learning strategies for the multi-step traffic predictor based on dynamic spatiotemporal graphs. The learning efficiency and forecasting accuracy are demonstrated by experiments, which show that the DSTSFN can outperform not only the state-of-the-art (SOTA) predictor for accuracy by achieving a 2.27% improvement in accuracy and requiring only 8.98% of the average training time, but also the SOTA predictor for efficiency by achieving a 9.26% improvement in accuracy and requiring 91.68% of the average training time.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/abstract\/document\/10707000","KEYWORD_EN":"Traffic forecasting, spatiotemporal learning, dynamic spatiotemporal graphs, heterogeneous dependencies","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-11"},{"Tname":"吳基逞","article_name":"Does Intellectual Capital Matter in Small and Medium–sized Enterprise (SME) Decisions?

Methods: A case study approach was adopted, using the example of a dental group in Taiwan implementing three digital systems (satisfaction detection, electronic medical records, and online reservation confirmation). Through qualitative interviews and secondary data analysis, user resistance types were categorized based on TAM theory, and strategies to reduce resistance were analyzed using information empowerment theory.

Globally, fighting disruptions and ensuring the supply of essential goods has become a significant challenge for governments. One possible solution is to strategically expand essential product capacity to increase supply resilience. Governments must cooperate closely with suppliers through carefully designed subsidy policies. A theoretical model based on current industry practices was built to explore and analyze the partnerships between governments and essential product suppliers. Our proposed model includes four players: the government, the supplier, the selling agent, and the consumer. We considered government subsidy policies for capacity expansion in building supply chains subject to two pricing designs: (1) government pricing and (2) market pricing. The results indicate that once a disruption occurs, social welfare increases with the government-subsidized expansion of essential goods to increase supply chain capacity. We analytically show that if the government does not support production expansion, the supplier can expand production only if the expansion cost is trivial. Furthermore, without government pricing, the product price increases in the government subsidy ratio. Hence, we conclude that government intervention is required to stabilize the market with proper price control, especially in the essential goods supply chain.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.cie.2024.110576","KEYWORD_EN":"Reselling, agency selling Supply chain resilience Market pricing Government pricing Government subsidy","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-01"},{"Tname":"紀乃文","article_name":"Forced to be a good citizen: Exploring the bright- and dark-side effects of daily compulsory citizenship behaviors on subsequent proactive helping and interpersonal deviance","author":"Chi, N.

Defining and learning the spatiotemporal characteristics and relationships of the traffic network efficiently and accurately, which are the important prerequisites for the success of the GCN, have become one of the most burning research problems in the field of intelligent transportation systems. This paper proposes a fast spatiotemporal learning (FSTL) framework containing the fast spatiotemporal GCN module, which reduces the computational complexity of the spatiotemporal GCN from O(k2) to O(k) , where k is the number of time steps of data learned in each GCN operation. To mine globally and fast the correlations of road node pairs, a correlation analysis based on the normal distribution with the complexity of O(N) , where N is the number of nodes in the traffic network, is proposed to construct the global correlation matrix. Besides, the multi-scale temporal learning is integrated into the FSTL to overcome the receptive field constraints of the spatiotemporal GCN. The experimental results on four real-world datasets demonstrate that the FSTL achieves 48.88% and 5.26% reductions in the training time and mean absolute error, respectively, compared with the state-of-the-art model.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/9966328","KEYWORD_EN":"Graph convolution network, multi-scale learning, spatiotemporal learning, traffic flow forecasting","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2023-08"},{"Tname":"李家瑩","article_name":"Chatbots or Me?

This paper develops a TTP method based on the spatial-feature-based hierarchical clustering (SFHC) and deep multi-input gated recurrent unit (DMGRU). The proposed two-stage method is capable of capturing the spatial-temporal features of traffic network. Specifically, the SFHC divides the road segments into several clusters having similar traffic features, and then the clustered data is fed into the DMGRU for TTP.

The results of the former are based on 411 random classroom observations and 205 questionnaire responses, and the insights of the latter are derived from 24 interviews and daily observations.\r\nFindings – The findings validate five distinctive signs that constitute MAS and their significant correlations with each of the Big Five personality traits. Classroom observations confirm the prevalence of addiction tendency among digital natives in the research context. Seven levels of MAS and six different mobile usage purposes further manifest themselves from case analysis. There appears to be a sharp contrast between the addicted and non-addicted groups in their mobile purposes and behavioral patterns. Additionally, family relationships seem influential in shaping non-addictive mobile usage behaviors.\r\nResearch limitations\/implications – Psychological perspectives on MAS may be important but insufficient. Empirical investigation on a global scale, especially with distinctive cross-cultural comparisons, will be highly encouraged. How MAS evolves over time should also serve as future research interests.\r\nPractical implications – Teaching pedagogy of college education might need certain adjustments to intrigue digital natives’ learning interests.

By using the push–pull–mooring framework, this study explores the predictors that affect consumer switching between a third-party online travel agent (OTA) platform and Airbnb to understand specifically how push, pull, and mooring factors shape consumers’ switching behaviors. Data are collected from 347 users of third-party OTA platforms and Airbnb through an online questionnaire survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling are performed using AMOS 24.0. The findings reveal that push factors (low structural assurance and low standardization), pull factors (monetary saving, sustainability, interactivity, and authenticity), and mooring factors (substitutability) positively influence switching behavior. Substitutability moderates the positive effects of push factors on switching behavior. This study contributes to the PPM framework by identifying factors that influence consumers’ behavior of switching between a third-party OTA platform and Airbnb. In addition, this study is the first to consider substitutability and network externalities as mooring variables that facilitate switching by consumers. Airbnb and traditional hotels compete across various market segments, which results in substitutability as well as complementary relationships between them in some cities. Traditional business sections may also consider leveraging their strengths to distinguish themselves from new sharing economy services, thus delivering distinct value propositions to their consumers.

Although norm activation theory (NAT) is a well-recognized theory for approaching PEBs, existing works appear insufficient to explain PEB in the context of social networking sites (SNSs) without taking contextual, emotional, and social factors into account. Grounded in the egocentric tactician model (ETM), NAT, along with the notions of guilt and social stressors, this study integrates a new ETM path, a supplemented emotional path, alongside the conventional NAT path to achieve a more complete picture of what are crucial determinants of PEBs in the context of SNSs.

Statistical results support the main hypothesis that both internal and external motivations push them to adopt involvement and information sharing as their main activities when building a personal brand.

We employ the mixed-method approach to collect data through qualitative and quantitative sources.

First, global mass markets will account for most costcutting process innovations. Second, niche markets, whether global or local, will provide the bulk of product innovations. Opportunities for product innovations in niche markets multiply both as the result of a more complex economy and as the result of heterogeneous preferences of consumers with divergent learning trajectories.\r\nSocial implications – The key implication of the theoretical pattern prediction of this paper is that there are increasing opportunities for entrepreneurs to introduce novelties that cater to niche demands, and this includes new lifestyle communities.

The most influential attempt at integration, economic imperialism, distorted our understanding of processes with looser constraints than among producers in competitive markets. The theory of spontaneous order, first developed by Michael Polanyi and Friedrich Hayek in the 1940s and 1950s, offers a more promising framework for interdisciplinary social theory. It does not rely on unrealistic assumptions of maximizing behavior, unlike rational choice theory borrowed from neoclassical economics. It is compatible with psychological findings on human behavior, recognizes the heterogeneity of resources and constraints in different social orders, and pays attention to historical processes of individual and social learning. Spontaneous-order theory provides a unified framework for four key orders of decentralized human interaction: the cultural, democratic, market, and scientific orders. Each such order is associated with order-specific resources. Order participants face constraints, but these constraints are not always the same, even within the same order. For example, competing producers face relatively tight break-even constraints, which make their actions unusually predictable. In contrast, consumers in a market order or politicians in a democracy face looser constraints. They are not compelled to maximize utilities or votes, but their relatively loose constraints nevertheless make many potential actions infeasible. Consumption requires money and policies require votes and resources. Exact predictions become impossible, but spontaneous-order analyses offer the promise of more reliable pattern predictions.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11293-022-09735-8","KEYWORD_EN":"spontaneous order; interdisciplinary; social science","KEYWORD_ZH":"spontaneous order; interdisciplinary; social science","year":"2022-02"},{"Tname":"王昭文","article_name":"Portfolio Optimization Under Multivariate Affine Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions","author":"Wang, Chou-Wen; Liu, Kai; Li, Bin; Tan, Ken Seng","journal_name":"INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF ECONOMICS & FINANCE","DES_EN":"This paper focuses on capturing the impacts of leptokurtic phenomenon and heterogeneous preferences in higher moments on asset allocation.

Two curiosity constructs, informational deprivation epistemic curiosity (D-EC) and interest-type epistemic curiosity (I-EC), moderate the wanting route and liking route, respectively. The research model is tested with data from 476 members of one knowledge-based VC using a web survey. Results show that member participation stimulates the wanting route to satisfaction by activating the need for reflective learning and uncertainty reduction, whereas browsing stimulates the liking route to member satisfaction by eliciting enjoyment. Both routes thus increase member SWB and, ultimately, continuance intention. Along the wanting route, D-EC reinforces relationships related to reflective learning but attenuates those related to uncertainty. I-EC alleviates the relationships along the liking route. Comparisons of the relative importance of hypothesised relationships between participants and lurkers indicate that participants feel more satisfied with knowledge sharing, enjoy greater SWB, and maintain higher continuance intention than lurkers.

This study aims to investigate how BP affordances support social commerce. Design\/methodology\/approach The study devises a theoretical model linking the proposed BP affordances (visibility, selectivity, persistence and interactivity) to three customer values (relationship quality, brand experience and smart shopping feeling [SSF]) to encourage brand loyalty and BP endorsement on the part of the customer. Findings Data collected from 591 respondents support all proposed hypotheses. The model explains high variances in brand loyalty and BP endorsement, indicating that relationship quality plays a more salient role in producing brand loyalty, while SSF plays a more important role in eliciting BP endorsement. Originality\/value The study is unique in four ways. First, drawing on the lens of affordance, it proposes specific affordances for BPs and offers empirical results for their applicability. Second, by incorporating CDL into the research model, it illuminates the high explanatory power of these proposed BP affordances on the three customer values. Integrating the S-O-R model with the affordance perspective and CDL provides a more complete picture of the BP phenomenon. Third, it extends the reach of existing work by examining BP endorsement in social media as a dependent variable beyond brand loyalty, with SSF included as another source of values to shed more light on the relationships depicted in the model.

Hence, future studies are recommended to consider non-recursive relationship between customer engagement and enjoyment. Practical implications-This paper provides several managerial implications with managers for implementing marketing strategies through gamification. Different types of game elements help firms connect with customers and increase customer engagement. For instance, the accumulation of points attracts customers to stay loyalty and further maintain relationship with firms. Also, customer engagement and enjoyment facilitate the formation of brand attachment. When customers have high levels of attachment toward the brand, they tend to cross-buying intention and further enhance finical performance of the firms. Originality\/value-This paper is the first that applies the MDE framework to investigate the impacts of game elements on consumers cross-buying intention. It advances gamification literature in explaining the influences of gamification mechanics on consumer perceptions and behaviors. The study concludes with implications for managers who would like to exercise marketing strategies for interacting with customers, and future directions for gamification research are also discussed.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"mechanics dynamics emotions (MDE framework) ； gamification ； cross-buying ； brand attachment","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2020-07"},{"Tname":"林杏娥","article_name":"Creating Competitive Advantages: Interactions between Ambidextrous Diversification Strategy and Contextual Factors from a Dynamic Capability Perspective","author":"Hsing-Er Lin, I-Chieh Hsu, Audreay Wen-Hsin Hsu, and His-Mei Chung","journal_name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","DES_EN":"Is competitive advantage sustainable?

This paper argues that Frank Knight's theory is an especially suitable theoretical foundation for applied work on entrepreneurship, since capital-owning entrepreneurs correspond to real-world empirical observations. However, the original theory-as formulated by Knight in 1921-does not provide a clear link between entrepreneurial actions and their systemic effects on market processes. Combining Knightian theory with certain institutional theories addresses this shortcoming. Market processes will exhibit stronger equilibrating tendencies if entrepreneurs operate in (potentially) atomistic markets with stable, transparent, and non-discriminatory institutions than if they operate in institutional contexts that are associated with high market entry costs and\/or unstable rules.

Additionally, the study shows that clients with higher importance will experience significantly higher adjustments in the subsequent period due to overestimation or underestimation of fees in the previous period, especially when fees for important clients were overestimated, leading to a reduction in audit fees in the subsequent period through negotiation with auditors.

Concurrently, a new and fourth logistical revolution is changing the economic, social and regional structure of the post-industrial parts of the world, leading to the creation of a new Creative Society. A key aspect of this development is the increasing role of creative and innovative city regions with global linkages. These regions now form a new supranational rank-size distribution, which is centred on a few conurbations in Europe, North America and East Asia.

Are these corporate marketing endeavors purely based on their environmental consciousness or driven by their intention to gain social recognition which could in turn reshape their corporate image that better reflects the concerns of environments, climate change, and green IT issues? This question is interesting to explore because the complexity and difficulty of ‘green endeavor’ has been widely addressed among practitioners and researchers. Based on an institutional perspective, this paper thus proposes a theoretical framework that helps organizations analyze these green issues in the competitive marketplaces. Propositions of the framework theorize that organizations will inevitably face various isomorphic pressures that lead them to initiate or follow green actions collectively. Those isomorphic pressures usually stem from influential agencies or initiatives in their respective fields such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation,\r\nAuthorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), the Green Grid, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and European Waste Catalogs (EWC). The implications of this theoretical framework suggest that organizations need to undertake green actions shiftily in order to continuously validate their competitive status in the global, networked economy. The cost of failing to do so, i.e. being ‘not’ green, might be beyond any organization’s measure in the long term.

Using a survey-based sample of 104 Taiwanese firms, this study’s findings show that the hypercompetitive environment and TMT sociobehavioral integration have direct and interacting effects on firms’ action aggressiveness. Moreover, action aggressiveness is an important mediator between TMT integration and firm performance, particularly under hypercompetitive conditions.

Most previous studies have focused on the influence of the technological perspective of knowledge management (KM) programs, neglecting the influence of the human side of the situation. The study aims to incorporate human, emotional and social influence variables into a technology acceptance model (TAM) and then to empirically test the model's feasibility. Through a series of expert interviews in conjunction with a questionnaire survey, our study results yield three conclusions. First, a contingency fit between KM orientation and emotional factors will enhance employees' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation toward using a specific KM program. Second, intrinsic motivation will not only serve as a mediation variable to influence perceived usefulness, but also a direct influential variable on attitude and intention toward using a KM program. Third, the social influence factors, including internalization and identification, will serve as both direct and moderating effects on employees' attitude and intention toward using a KM program. Since none of the previous studies have simultaneously incorporated human, emotional and social influence factors into a TAM, the results of this study have provided a very useful reference for scholars and managers to identify the relevant issues of KM program implementation.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"emotion; attitude; behavior intention; social influence; TAM","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2006-06"},{"Tname":"李家瑩","article_name":"The evaluation of management competitiveness for Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries","author":"Wann-Yih Wu, Chia-Ying Li, Ya-Jung Wu","journal_name":"International Journal of Business Performance Management","DES_EN":"This study proposes to primarily develop a measurement model of management competitiveness at the country level, and secondarily to evaluate its overall management capability through a series of literature review, expert interviews, panel discussions, and questionnaire surveys.

A total of 63 valid responses were received. Findings The study results indicate that firms with higher absorption orientation, higher risk reduction orientation, higher R&D scale economy orientation, and higher top management team experiences tend to perform better in acquiring competitive advantages. In addition, the strategic fit between strategic factors, organizational capability factors and technology alliance choice could lead firms to better competitive advantage.

Although many schools of thought have emerged and even become well established, few historical analyses of research paradigms and methodologies have been undertaken. One of the rare exceptions is Orlikowski & Baroudi (1991).\r\nYet, the IS research community has evolved substantially since 1991 in many\r\naspects. A variety of journal outlets have emerged and become well established.\r\nMore attention has been paid to paradigmatic and methodological issues. Political\r\nand professional contexts have also changed noticeably. Therefore, it should be an\r\nopportune time for the field to ask: ‘What changes are manifested in journal publications?’ ‘Is the field making progress regarding pluralism in IS research?’ ‘How\r\nwill the field’s publications practices change in the future?’ The purpose of this\r\npaper is to investigate these questions and, in turn, reflect on the paradigmatic and\r\nmethodological progress made since 1991. We examined 1893 articles published\r\nin eight major IS publication outlets between 1991 and 2001. Our findings suggest\r\nthat the long-term endeavours of interpretivist researchers might need to continue\r\nbecause the paradigmatic progress appears somewhat inconsequential; positivist\r\nresearch still dominates 81% of published empirical research. In particular, US\r\njournals, as opposed to European journals, tend to be more positivist, quantitative,\r\ncross-sectional and survey oriented. With respect to research design, survey\r\nresearch is still the most widely used method (41%), although case studies have\r\ngained substantial recognition (36%). Further, the increase of qualitative research\r\n(30%), empirical studies (61%) and longitudinal cases (33%) at the expense of laboratory\r\nexperiments (18%) might suggest that IS researchers have become more\r\ninterested in obtaining scientific knowledge in real world settings. In summary, we\r\nsuggest that the field has been dominated by the positivist paradigm, despite calls\r\nto the contrary. Indeed, if the field was to truly embrace pluralism, it would have to\r\nfind ways to fundamentally change the publication practices of the journal system,\r\nincluding the current tenure and promotion system, which pose considerable\r\nobstacles for the acceptance of alternative paradigms.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"IS research, paradigms, research methodology, positivism, interpretivism","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2004-07"},{"Tname":"李家瑩","article_name":"An Integrative Measurement Model of National Competitiveness: The Perspective for Malaysia","author":"Wann-Yih Wu, Chia-Ying Li, Md.

No significant differences were observed between groups in shunt revision, complication, or mortality rates. Cost-utility analysis revealed that programmable shunts incurred lower total costs (US$55,482.03 vs. US$63,176.72) and provided higher quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) (6.03 vs. 5.48).

It compares a meta-organization, Abc Dental Group in Taiwan—a network of 12 independent dental clinics—with Princess Alexandra Hospital, a traditional hierarchical public hospital in Australia. Using primary data for the meta-organization and secondary data for the hospital, the study examines how each type approaches decision-making, implementation, knowledge sharing, and alignment. The results show that meta-organizations emphasize collaborative decision-making, voluntary adoption of innovations, peer learning networks, and identity-based alignment. These mechanisms allow clinics to maintain autonomy while working together on shared goals. In contrast, traditional hierarchical organizations rely on centralized decision-making, structured implementation, formal training, and authority-based alignment. These approaches ensure consistency and control across complex hospital systems but limit local flexibility. The findings demonstrate that organizational form fundamentally shapes strategies for digital transformation. Distributed methods in meta-organizations are particularly effective in contexts requiring clinical independence and adaptation to diverse environments, while centralized approaches in hospitals promote reliability and standardization.

Methods: A case study approach was adopted, using the example of a dental group in Taiwan implementing three digital systems (satisfaction detection, electronic medical records, and online reservation confirmation). Through qualitative interviews and secondary data analysis, user resistance types were categorized based on TAM theory, and strategies to reduce resistance were analyzed using information empowerment theory. Results: User resistance mainly manifested as doubts about the system's \"perceived usefulness\" and \"perceived ease of use\". Specific examples include doctors' opposition to patient evaluations, difficulty adapting to electronic system operations, and assistants' challenges in inviting patients to join the system. Successful strategies to reduce resistance include adjusting communication processes, such as changing patient feedback methods; modifying system functions, such as simplifying proxy binding processes; adjusting organizational structure, such as establishing \"back-end patrol\" positions; adopting a dual-track system: allowing paper and electronic systems to coexist; and process demonstration: sharing successful experiences to increase system usage.

Methods: A case study approach was adopted, using the example of a dental group in Taiwan implementing three digital systems (satisfaction detection, electronic medical records, and online reservation confirmation). Through qualitative interviews and secondary data analysis, user resistance types were categorized based on TAM theory, and strategies to reduce resistance were analyzed using information empowerment theory. Results: User resistance mainly manifested as doubts about the system's \"perceived usefulness\" and \"perceived ease of use\". Specific examples include doctors' opposition to patient evaluations, difficulty adapting to electronic system operations, and assistants' challenges in inviting patients to join the system. Successful strategies to reduce resistance include adjusting communication processes, such as changing patient feedback methods; modifying system functions, such as simplifying proxy binding processes; adjusting organizational structure, such as establishing \"back-end patrol\" positions; adopting a dual-track system: allowing paper and electronic systems to coexist; and process demonstration: sharing successful experiences to increase system usage.

(2) employees with failure-avoiding perfectionism had higher work-related worry, but this worry did not significantly affect job performance. (3) procedural justice had an insignificant moderated effect on the mediation process of excellence-seeking perfectionism and job performance. However, procedural justice strengthened the negative mediation relationship between failure-avoiding perfectionism and job performance.

The most influential attempt at integration, economic imperialism, distorted our understanding of processes with looser constraints than among producers in competitive markets. The theory of spontaneous order, first developed by Michael Polanyi and Friedrich Hayek in the 1940s and 1950s, offers a more promising framework for interdisciplinary social theory. It does not rely on unrealistic assumptions of maximizing behavior, unlike rational choice theory borrowed from neoclassical economics. It is compatible with psychological findings on human behavior, recognizes the heterogeneity of resources and constraints in different social orders, and pays attention to historical processes of individual and social learning. Spontaneous-order theory provides a unified framework for four key orders of decentralized human interaction: the cultural, democratic, market, and scientific orders. Each such order is associated with order-specific resources. Order participants face constraints, but these constraints are not always the same, even within the same order. For example, competing producers face relatively tight break-even constraints, which make their actions unusually predictable. In contrast, consumers in a market order or politicians in a democracy face looser constraints. They are not compelled to maximize utilities or votes, but their relatively loose constraints nevertheless make many potential actions infeasible. Consumption requires money and policies require votes and resources. Exact predictions become impossible, but spontaneous-order analyses offer the promise of more reliable pattern predictions.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11293-022-09735-8","KEYWORD_EN":"spontaneous order; interdisciplinary; social science","KEYWORD_ZH":"spontaneous order; interdisciplinary; social science","year":"2022-02"},{"Tname":"謝慧賢","article_name":"Beyond individual job insecurity: A multilevel examination of job insecurity climate on work engagement and job satisfaction","author":"Hsieh, H.

However, the original theory-as formulated by Knight in 1921-does not provide a clear link between entrepreneurial actions and their systemic effects on market processes. Combining Knightian theory with certain institutional theories addresses this shortcoming. Market processes will exhibit stronger equilibrating tendencies if entrepreneurs operate in (potentially) atomistic markets with stable, transparent, and non-discriminatory institutions than if they operate in institutional contexts that are associated with high market entry costs and\/or unstable rules.

According to the communication interaction 24 protocol, the IT-2 Containment Controller (CC) design approach is proposed for followers to ensure conver-25 gence into the region defined by the leaders. Leveraging the IT-2 T-SFM representation, the analysis methods 26 developed for linear Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) are successfully extended to perform containment analysis 27 without requiring the additional assumptions imposed in existing research. Notably, the IT-2 fuzzy tracking 28 controller can also be applied in collision avoidance situations to track the desired trajectories calculated by 29 the avoidance algorithm under the Artificial Potential Field (APF). Benefiting from the combination of vortex 30 and source APFs, the leaders can properly adjust the system dynamics to prevent potential collision risk. Inte-31 grating the fuzzy theory and APFs avoidance algorithm, an IT-2 fuzzy controller design approach is proposed 32 to achieve the F-and-C purpose while ensuring collision avoidance capability. Finally, a multi-ship simulation 33 is conducted to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the designed IT-2 fuzzy controller.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"Interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model; Multi-agent systems; Formation and containment 35 control; Fuzzy collision avoidance; Artificial potential field.","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2025-08"},{"Tname":"張榮華","article_name":"Learning behaviors in an offline-to-online course: incentive strategy, course design and performance.","author":"Jung-Hua Chang, Shan-Huei Wang ","journal_name":"Learning Environments Research","DES_EN":"This study describes the lack of self-efficacy, learning motivation and self-regulated learning of university students in an offline-to-online course during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In line with the IT2 membership function design of the TSFSM, the fuzzy controller is developed using the state feedback technique. Subsequently, the state covariance matrices and the variance constraints are constructed for each subsystem of the IT2 TSFSM. By reformulating the closed-loop model into parallel and cross-terms, the number of fuzzy rules required for the analysis can be effectively reduced. This approach also allows for the integration of covariance control theory into the IT2 fuzzy controller design. Using Lyapunov theory, stability criteria involving upper and lowerbound parameters and state covariance matrices are derived. Unlike typical Type-1 (T1) fuzzy control approaches, the upper and lower-bound membership functions complicate the integration of covariance control theory, which is also overcome in this research. Additionally, the stability and variance constraints are further achieved by applying an upperbound matrix. The stability conditions are also converted into a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem.

While learning efficiency is critical due to the need for updating frequently the model to alleviate the impact of concept drift, limited work has focused on improving it. For efficient learning and accurate forecasting, this study proposes the dynamic spatiotemporal straight-flow network (DSTSFN). Breaking the aggregation paradigms employing both inner and outer aggregation, which may be redundant, the DSTSFN designs a straight-flow network that employs bipartite graphs to learn directly the dependencies between the source and target nodes for outer aggregation only. Instead of the attention mechanisms, the dynamic graphs\/networks, which outdo static ones by possessing time-varying dependencies, are designed in the DSTSFN to distinguish the dependency heterogeneity, making the model relatively streamlined. Additionally, two learning strategies based on respectively the curriculum and transfer learning are developed to further improve the learning efficiency of the DSTSFN. Our study could be the first work designing the learning strategies for the multi-step traffic predictor based on dynamic spatiotemporal graphs. The learning efficiency and forecasting accuracy are demonstrated by experiments, which show that the DSTSFN can outperform not only the state-of-the-art (SOTA) predictor for accuracy by achieving a 2.27% improvement in accuracy and requiring only 8.98% of the average training time, but also the SOTA predictor for efficiency by achieving a 9.26% improvement in accuracy and requiring 91.68% of the average training time.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/abstract\/document\/10707000","KEYWORD_EN":"Traffic forecasting, spatiotemporal learning, dynamic spatiotemporal graphs, heterogeneous dependencies","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-11"},{"Tname":"佘博文","article_name":"The impact of air pollution on consumer behavior in the Great Britain","author":"Congmin Peng  ,  Po-Wen She ,  Chin-Wen Wu","journal_name":"Economic Analysis and Policy","DES_EN":"On the 5th of March 2013, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) issued warnings regarding elevated pollution levels.

Precise metro passenger flow (MPF) prediction is crucial in ensuring smooth operations of the metro system. Recently, the graph convolutional network (GCN), which is effective in the spatial feature extraction, has been applied in traffic prediction. However, most existing GCN-based methods construct the empirical graphs based on distance and adjacency, which cannot fully express the correlations of metro stations. This paper proposes a novel MPF prediction method consisting of three parts: K-means-based metro station functional clustering (KMSFC), external feature fusion, and dual-view recurrent GCN (DVRGCN). The KMSFC identifies the metro stations both having similar MPF changing tendencies and being located in similar urban functional areas. Furthermore, the DVRGCN is designed to simultaneously capture the spatiotemporal and external features. The dual-view GCN module in the DVRGCN captures both explicit and implicit spatial features of the metro traffic network. To demonstrate the capability for making accurate MPF predictions, the experiments using a real-world metro traffic dataset are conducted.

Globally, fighting disruptions and ensuring the supply of essential goods has become a significant challenge for governments. One possible solution is to strategically expand essential product capacity to increase supply resilience. Governments must cooperate closely with suppliers through carefully designed subsidy policies. A theoretical model based on current industry practices was built to explore and analyze the partnerships between governments and essential product suppliers. Our proposed model includes four players: the government, the supplier, the selling agent, and the consumer. We considered government subsidy policies for capacity expansion in building supply chains subject to two pricing designs: (1) government pricing and (2) market pricing. The results indicate that once a disruption occurs, social welfare increases with the government-subsidized expansion of essential goods to increase supply chain capacity. We analytically show that if the government does not support production expansion, the supplier can expand production only if the expansion cost is trivial. Furthermore, without government pricing, the product price increases in the government subsidy ratio. Hence, we conclude that government intervention is required to stabilize the market with proper price control, especially in the essential goods supply chain.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.cie.2024.110576","KEYWORD_EN":"Reselling, agency selling Supply chain resilience Market pricing Government pricing Government subsidy","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-01"},{"Tname":"劉易","article_name":"Understanding prospective and actual users of campus-based electric moped sharing from a behavioral reasoning perspective–Insights from Taiwan","author":"Eccarius, T., Liang, J.

Empirical and qualitative data from 443 users and non-users of an electric moped sharing in Kaohsiung are collected.

Defining and learning the spatiotemporal characteristics and relationships of the traffic network efficiently and accurately, which are the important prerequisites for the success of the GCN, have become one of the most burning research problems in the field of intelligent transportation systems. This paper proposes a fast spatiotemporal learning (FSTL) framework containing the fast spatiotemporal GCN module, which reduces the computational complexity of the spatiotemporal GCN from O(k2) to O(k) , where k is the number of time steps of data learned in each GCN operation. To mine globally and fast the correlations of road node pairs, a correlation analysis based on the normal distribution with the complexity of O(N) , where N is the number of nodes in the traffic network, is proposed to construct the global correlation matrix. Besides, the multi-scale temporal learning is integrated into the FSTL to overcome the receptive field constraints of the spatiotemporal GCN.

The most influential attempt at integration, economic imperialism, distorted our understanding of processes with looser constraints than among producers in competitive markets. The theory of spontaneous order, first developed by Michael Polanyi and Friedrich Hayek in the 1940s and 1950s, offers a more promising framework for interdisciplinary social theory. It does not rely on unrealistic assumptions of maximizing behavior, unlike rational choice theory borrowed from neoclassical economics. It is compatible with psychological findings on human behavior, recognizes the heterogeneity of resources and constraints in different social orders, and pays attention to historical processes of individual and social learning. Spontaneous-order theory provides a unified framework for four key orders of decentralized human interaction: the cultural, democratic, market, and scientific orders. Each such order is associated with order-specific resources. Order participants face constraints, but these constraints are not always the same, even within the same order. For example, competing producers face relatively tight break-even constraints, which make their actions unusually predictable. In contrast, consumers in a market order or politicians in a democracy face looser constraints. They are not compelled to maximize utilities or votes, but their relatively loose constraints nevertheless make many potential actions infeasible. Consumption requires money and policies require votes and resources.

The purpose of this article is to analyse how current tax systems impede emergent spatial configurations and, additionally, to explore what kind of fiscal rules and instruments are more supportive of creative (i.e. dynamically productive) processes of self-organization.

However, the original theory-as formulated by Knight in 1921-does not provide a clear link between entrepreneurial actions and their systemic effects on market processes. Combining Knightian theory with certain institutional theories addresses this shortcoming. Market processes will exhibit stronger equilibrating tendencies if entrepreneurs operate in (potentially) atomistic markets with stable, transparent, and non-discriminatory institutions than if they operate in institutional contexts that are associated with high market entry costs and\/or unstable rules.

Are these corporate marketing endeavors purely based on their environmental consciousness or driven by their intention to gain social recognition which could in turn reshape their corporate image that better reflects the concerns of environments, climate change, and green IT issues? This question is interesting to explore because the complexity and difficulty of ‘green endeavor’ has been widely addressed among practitioners and researchers. Based on an institutional perspective, this paper thus proposes a theoretical framework that helps organizations analyze these green issues in the competitive marketplaces. Propositions of the framework theorize that organizations will inevitably face various isomorphic pressures that lead them to initiate or follow green actions collectively. Those isomorphic pressures usually stem from influential agencies or initiatives in their respective fields such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation,\r\nAuthorisation and Restriction of Chemicals), the Green Grid, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and European Waste Catalogs (EWC). The implications of this theoretical framework suggest that organizations need to undertake green actions shiftily in order to continuously validate their competitive status in the global, networked economy. The cost of failing to do so, i.e. being ‘not’ green, might be beyond any organization’s measure in the long term.

Although many schools of thought have emerged and even become well established, few historical analyses of research paradigms and methodologies have been undertaken. One of the rare exceptions is Orlikowski & Baroudi (1991).\r\nYet, the IS research community has evolved substantially since 1991 in many\r\naspects. A variety of journal outlets have emerged and become well established.\r\nMore attention has been paid to paradigmatic and methodological issues.

Therefore, it should be an\r\nopportune time for the field to ask: ‘What changes are manifested in journal publications?’ ‘Is the field making progress regarding pluralism in IS research?’ ‘How\r\nwill the field’s publications practices change in the future?’ The purpose of this\r\npaper is to investigate these questions and, in turn, reflect on the paradigmatic and\r\nmethodological progress made since 1991.

Utilizing detailed stock transaction data from the Taiwan Stock Exchange and electoral statistics, we examine how voting patterns in different regions correlate with local investors’ trading behaviors. Our analysis reveals that investors in areas with stronger support for China-friendly coalition (known as the “pan-blue” coalition) exhibit a higher propensity to trade China concept stocks, especially around election periods. This tendency is particularly pronounced in regions transitioning from leaders aligned with the “pan-green” coalition (generally considered more China-critical) to those aligned with the pan-blue coalition. Importantly, we find that these politically influenced investment decisions often lead to suboptimal short-term trading performance, suggesting that such choices may be driven more by sentiment than rational analysis. These findings are robust to alternative specifications of political preferences and remain consistent after accounting for the uneven distribution of brokerage branches across regions. The study contributes to the behavioral finance literature by extending the research on political preferences and investment behaviors to an Asian context with complex geopolitical considerations.

Through examining real examples of firms’ financial reports, we find consistent evidence that firms turning away from IFRS did take advantage of the disclosure exemptions contained within New UK GAAP, resulting in reduced disclosure which may explain the reduced audit fees. Overall, our findings suggest that using full IFRS may still be burdensome for sampled firms that previously voluntarily adopted IFRS.

In the second step, scores of the major factor (MP- score) are used in regressions with accounts receivable, accounts payable, market leverage, and Tobin’s Q as alternative dependent variables. Evidence from cross-sectional and time series analyses provides strong support for the hypothesized relationships. Market power is not otherwise explained by firm size and as- set tangibility. Additional results indicate that U.S. manufacturers generally increased their market power over this timeframe. We also find that firms with high market power tend to have higher survival rates.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"Market power, Demand uncertainty, Inventory, Trade credit, Leverage, Firm value","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2019-10"},{"Tname":"陳妮雲","article_name":"Open-market block share repurchases probability, frequency and timing","author":"Ni-Yun Chen*, Chi-Chun, Liu","journal_name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","DES_EN":"We benefit from the unique disclosure regulations in Taiwan and investigate the influence of firm characteristics on open-market block share repurchases.

However, civil organization development in Taiwan has been influenced by government departments’ gradual control of project funding and action resources, so the public and private sectors with political and economic capital advantages can establish their agents for the third sector. This phenomenon has led to the inability of civil organizations to maintain their supervisory responsibilities without separating public and non-public stances, thereby undermining their capacity for discourse production and public advocacy. Existing literature in Taiwan has focused on the influence of citizen participation on governance legitimacy restoration and policy formulation; however, there is a lack of relevant discourse and long-term empirical observations on breakthroughs in the aforementioned dilemma and the pathways for reconstructing civil society. Hence, this study first inspected the constraints on civil society development in Taiwan and then, based on Michael Walzer’s concept of the pluralism of associational life in civil society, proposed a discourse taking the interaction between the three components of “decision-making power,” “participatory arenas,” and “relationship networks” as constituting pathways to universal and pluralistic public participation. Afterward, to examine the pathways facilitating or hindering civil society formation with the proposed discourse, this study took the Luzhongmiao community, Kaohsiung, as the case. Through participant observation and in-depth interviews, this study explored and compared the outcomes and subsequent impacts of multiple times of citizen participation (the “Shantou Park Citizen Participation Redevelopment Project” in 2018 and the “Citizen Café × i-Voting” in 2021) on civil society. Results revealed that although mobilizing participation through the existing “relationship networks” of the civil organization with dominant “decision-making power” in the “participatory arena” could facilitate the achievement of the expected scale and objectives of that time of citizen participation, the interactive impact of the three components subsequently consolidated the existing “relationship networks” and triggered the formation of the interest commonwealth, thereby reducing the long-term potential for the community’s pluralistic perspective representation and public deliberation.","DES_ZH":"公民社會為近年公共行政領域的關鍵概念，其被認為能夠整合並補足政府部門及資本市場無法妥善提供的社會機能與服務。然而，我國公民組織的發展因漸受政府部門掌握計畫經費與行動資源，使第一、二部門在政治與經濟資本優勢下得成立其第三部門之代理人，導致公民組織無法在切割公共／非公共立場下維持監督職責，更減損生產論述及公共倡議的量能；對此，我國研究文獻較聚焦於公民參與對治理正當性的修復或政策成形的影響，但針對上述困境之突破、重構公民社會之途徑，仍缺乏相關論述和長期性實證觀察。因此，本研究首先檢視我國公民社會發展的瓶頸，並藉由Michael Walzer的公民社會之多元社團生活共構之觀點，提出「決策權力」、「參與場域」、「關係網絡」三項要件之互動將構成普同、多元公共參與途徑之論述；繼而，為以該論述檢驗公民社會的形成或阻礙之途徑，本研究以高雄市路中廟社區為實證案例，採用參與觀察和深度訪談，探討並比較該社區公民參與（2018年「汕頭公園公民參與改造案」與2021年「公民咖啡館×i-Voting」）對公民社會之形塑與後續影響。研究結果發現，仰賴在「參與場域」中具有主導性「決策權力」的公民組織擁有之既存「關係網絡」來動員參與，雖能有利於達成當次公民參與之預期規模與目標，然卻會由於前述三項要件互動之影響，於公民參與後鞏固了既有「關係網絡」、促成利益共同體的形成，從而在長期上降低社區的多元觀點表達及公共審議之可能。","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"civil society, citizen participation, civil organization, pluralistic public participation, community empowerment","KEYWORD_ZH":"公民社會、公民參與、公民組織、多元公共參與、社區培力","year":"2025-03"},{"Tname":"楊淯程","article_name":"Analyzing the Influence of Quantity Discounts and 5 Environmental Incentive Mechanisms on Bike-Sharing 6 System Relocation and Replenishment ","author":"Ziyi Wang, Yifei Li, Yu-chen Yang, Chieh Lee","journal_name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research","DES_EN":"Developing energy conservation and carbon reduction solutions for transportation 31 systems in many countries has become a pivotal sustainability policy strategy.

To this end, a pretest-posttest control group design experiment of persuasive communication was conducted with 47 university students as the subjects; namely, the subjects were guided to implement the communication with the purpose of persuading others to change environmental behavior, and this study thereby examined the effects of the communication process on subjects’ psychological factors and behavioral changes into pro-environmental travel.

Under the circumstances, remote areas have become areas without public transportation services and food deserts with low quality of life, making residents in remote areas become transportation and consumer disadvantages. Living environment problems that residents in remote areas face are both complex and confounding, so if we propose the countermeasures only based on a single aspect, it will only cure the symptoms, not the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink how to put forward a more flexible and resilient approach from interdisciplinary integration to generate broader synergies and strive toward solving fundamental problems. This study believes that concepts such as \"transportation,\" \"circulation (logistics and distribution),\" and \"information and communication\" should be taken into consideration simultaneously to propose appropriate strategies for \"city-remote area cooperation\" in the context of increasingly advanced technology. Thus, we can solve the problems encountered by residents in remote areas regarding transportation, industry, and living environment by the abovementioned strategies. It is a crucial action to promote the gradual implementation of the placemaking concept in remote areas.

PT recovery partly requires instruments to prioritize service quality and satisfaction improvement based on travelers’ transit needs. However, there is limited understanding of psychological needs for post-COVID-19 transit use and how the needs affect satisfaction and loyalty. Thus, this study explored the influences of post-COVID-19 psychological needs for bus service attributes on satisfaction and loyalty and thereby built a bus need hierarchy for riders in different use stages to distinguish critical service attributes from basic and excitement ones by applying Maslow’s need hierarchy theory. \r\nMethods: A face-to-face questionnaire survey with systematic sampling collected data from 204 bus riders in Kaohsiung, which is a transit-developing city of Taiwan and whose PT ridership and service levels had drastically reduced because of the pandemic. Factor analysis was used to construct bus service attributes, and structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the influence of bus service attributes on overall satisfaction with and loyalty to bus services.\r\nResults: Results indicated that (1) riders included epidemic prevention needs in transit safety assessment and (2) pursued the needs for safety, reliability, and comfort to increase overall satisfaction and thereby form loyalty; and (3) safety and reliability were respectively critical needs of riders in the beginning and intermediate use stages, whereas comfort persisted in critical needs throughout all use stages. \r\nConclusions: The findings implied the necessity of satisfying the needs for safety with epidemic prevention for initiating post-COVID-19 transit use and service quality improvement priorities for different PT use and system contexts.

Therefore, this study aims to identify the \"epidemic-adaptation disadvantaged\" under the epidemic and its prevention policy, with Kaohsiung as the study area. The data of pre-epidemic, during-epidemic and post-policy-lifting travel behavior, and socioeconomic characteristics from citizens in the original Kaohsiung City are collected through sampling design and a face-to-face questionnaire survey. This investigation integrates travel behavior and socioeconomic characteristics to analyze the travel behavior changes and socioeconomic characteristic composition changes of metro users across the epidemic. Analytical results indicate that passengers who are minors, students, low-or-no-income or without access to private motor vehicles are the \"epidemic-adaptation disadvantaged\" groups in metro use. The proportion of the \"epidemic-adaptation disadvantaged\" groups among metro users increases while others tend to withdraw from metro use toward the during-epidemic phase. This rise represents difficulty for the disadvantaged in adapting travel behavior to epidemic risk and epidemic prevention policy. Finally, based on the concept of the \"epidemic-adaptation disadvantaged\", this study proposes a fare discount policy for specific socioeconomic groups and service-level maintenance for the total metro users as public transportation development strategies in the post-COVID-19 era.","DES_ZH":"新冠肺炎（COVID-19）衝擊了全球的經濟活動和旅運行為，雖然臺灣對於疫情的控制相對穩定，但各類公共運輸的運量於疫情期間明顯衰減。然而，單就運量統計資料，並無法得知疫情下特定群體的旅運行為變化，亦無法釐清在防疫政策宣導減少群聚和非必要旅運下，仍難以因應疫情風險來調適旅運行為的群體。因此，本研究以識別疫情及防疫政策下的「疫情調適弱者」為目的，以高雄為實證地區，透過抽樣設計及面訪問卷調查，收集原高雄市範圍之市民於三個疫情階段之「疫情前」、「疫情中」、「解封後」的旅運行為，以及社會經濟特徵。藉此，本研究透過連結旅運行為和社會經濟特徵，分析疫情下捷運使用族群的旅運行為變化及社會經濟特徵組成變化。研究結果發現，未成年、學生、低或無收入者或者無法使用私人機動車輛之乘客，係為捷運使用族群中的「疫情調適弱者」。當其他特徵的捷運使用族群於進入「疫情中」而出現退出捷運使用之傾向時，「疫情調適弱者」占捷運使用族群之比例反而增加，顯示其難以因應疫情風險及防疫政策來調適旅運行為之特性。最後，本研究基於「疫情調適弱者」之概念，提出針對特定社會經濟群體的票價優惠以及針對整體捷運使用族群的服務水準確保，作為後疫情時代的公共運輸發展策略。","URL":"https:\/\/www.airitilibrary.com\/Publication\/alDetailedMesh?DocID=10181067-N202301120008-00001&PublishTypeID=P001","KEYWORD_EN":"COVID-19 ； Public transportation ； Kaohsiung Metro ； Socioeconomic characteristics ； Travel behavior adaptation","KEYWORD_ZH":"COVID-19 ； 公共運輸 ； 高雄捷運 ； 社會經濟特徵 ； 旅運行為調適","year":"2022-12"},{"Tname":"謝旭昇","article_name":"Can continued anti-epidemic measures help post-COVID-19 public transport recovery?

The market order is inherently dynamic, and order arises because of institutions that help channel human action according to order-specific incentives and systemic resource feedback. In markets, market prices are the feedback and the systemic resource is money. However, unlike in equilibrium models, a spontaneous-order conceptualization is incompatible with the idea of top-down resource allocation. Instead, entrepreneurs continually discover more valuable uses of existing resources. Unified resource allocation plans tend to replace such discoveries, with inferior resource use as a predictable consequence.

This paper aims to investigate the determinants of trip generation of Macao residents among the senior and non-senior groups using trip generation models. We further explore the trip generation and its determinants for the seniors at different age groups. The Household Travel Characteristic Survey data in Macao are analyzed, and an ordered probit model is applied to build trip generation models of different ages with distinct trip types. The results reveal that the determinants of resident trip generation consist of household, individual, and land use characteristics. It is found that the key determinants on the similarities and dissimilarities in the trip generation of different ages with distinct trip types are: (i) for household characteristics, compared to non-seniors, the number of senior non-working trips is not inclined to increase with owning private modes in the household; (ii) for individual characteristics, physical disability relatively has a negative impact on total trip generation for seniors; and (iii) for land use characteristics, senior working trips and non-working trips are inclined to decrease with high population density, but meanwhile, senior non-working trips is inclined to increase with highly mixed land use. The results infer that walkability should be considered as a priority in the urban design in Macao to provide a friendly walking environment to the seniors. The findings of this study could provide insights for the decision makers in formulating the urban and transportation policy for seniors in preparing for an aging society.","DES_ZH":"澳門地區正由現時的高齡化社會邁入高齡社會，此造成了高齡者交通需求的增加及整體旅運行為的變化。一般而言，高齡者的行動能力及旅運需求跟其他年齡的旅運者有很大差異，然而，目前的交通運輸規劃尚未充分考量不同年齡層的旅運行為特性，家戶旅次調查亦未有針對高齡族群進行更深入的探討，因此有需要進一步研究高齡者的旅運需求模式及其影響因素。本研究之目的在於探討澳門地區居民旅次發生的影響因素，並比較高齡者和非高齡者旅次發生模式之差異，且進一步針對高齡者群體之中不同年齡階層的旅次發生模式進行比較。研究方法上，係透過能代表澳門地區居民特性的澳門交通出行調查資料庫之取用，以排序普羅比模式來建構不同旅次類型下各年齡群體之旅次發生模式。研究結果發現澳門地區居民旅次發生之影響因素包含了家戶特性、個人特性及土地使用特性，並釐清了不同年齡族群在不同旅次類型下旅次發生的異同：（1）在家戶特性上，相較於非高齡者而言，高齡者的非工作旅次數，較不具備因家中持有私人運具而增加的傾向；（2）在個人特性上，生理上行動不便對高齡者總旅次發生的削減較為明顯；（3）在土地使用特性上，高齡者的工作旅次及非工作旅次皆較易受高人口密度的影響而減少，然而高齡者的非工作旅次同時有著較易因高土地使用混合度而增加的傾向；研究發現可推論澳門的都市設計應把可步行性納入重要考量，為高齡者提供友善的步行環境。本研究之結果，將能提供決策者在面對高齡化社會下制定高齡者的都市及交通運輸政策之參考依據。","URL":"https:\/\/www.airitilibrary.com\/Publication\/alDetailedMesh?DocID=16068238-202204-202204280006-202204280006-61-88&PublishTypeID=P001","KEYWORD_EN":" Discrete choice model ； Aging society ； Senior travelers ； Travel behavior ； Trip generation ； Macao","KEYWORD_ZH":" 高齡化社會 ； 高齡旅行者 ； 旅運行為 ； 旅次發生 ； 澳門地區 ","year":"2022-04"},{"Tname":"蔡錦昌","article_name":" Nonprofit capacities and emergency  management during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from a Taiwan-based  international nonprofit organization","author":"Tsai, C.

Considering that travel is a derived demand, mobility management reducing the demand for private car use can lower carbon emissions. Mobility management is typically classified into hard and soft measures. Hard measures adjust the structure of travel time and costs via infrastructure construction or regulatory institution, but financial and political considerations often restrict their performance. Conversely, soft measures influence behavior by changing individuals' cognition and have attracted increasing transportation research interest in recent years. Hence, clarifying the psychological process of travel behavior change is indispensable for planners dedicated to an environment with low-carbon travel. This study extends the theory of planned behavior to a volitional phase by incorporating action planning and coping planning as the mental simulations for action processes and investigates the mediating mechanisms of travelers' translating behavioral intention into action. The 121 participants, recruited from Taipei City, Taiwan, completed a behavioral pre-test and personalized travel plan formulation in the first phase and psychological measurement and a behavioral post-test in the second phase. Analytical results indicate that the mediating effects through ＂coping planning＂ and ＂action planning and coping planning in sequence＂ respectively account for 81% and 19% of the influence of behavioral intention on decreasing car use, and that the mediating effects through ＂action planning,＂ ＂coping planning,＂ and ＂action planning and coping planning in sequence＂ respectively represent 49%, 41%, and 9% of the influence of behavioral intention on increasing pro-environmental mode use. Thus, barrier anticipation and coping strategies, both of which constitute coping planning, may aid action planning for travelers, thereby promoting behavior change. A policy implication of this study for urban public transportation is that influencing the behavioral intention of travelers alone may be insufficient to improve the usage rate. This study suggests that the conjunction with holding route trial runs, educational facilitation, and workshops to trigger travelers to think about and formulate action and coping plans could translate behavioral intention into action.","DES_ZH":"全球環境已深受溫室氣體的排放所威脅，都市內大量的私人汽車使用則是主因之一。由於交通係為衍生需求，故可透過降低私人汽車使用需求的移動性管理來減少碳排放。移動性管理可分為「硬措施」和「軟措施」，前者倚賴基盤整建或法規制度來調整旅運時間和成本結構，但其成效時常受限於財務或政治考量；而後者則可透過改變個體認知來影響行為，故近年來交通領域對於「軟措施」的探討漸增。因此，對致力於低碳交通環境的規劃者而言，設法釐清旅運行為轉變的心理過程實屬必要。立足於前述之問題意識，本研究嘗試將「計畫行為理論」擴展至「意志性階段」，導入「行動計劃」與「應對計劃」兩項針對行動過程的心理模擬，從而探討旅運者將「行為意圖」付諸行動的中介機制。本研究以臺北市為實證地區，從中招募參與者，最終有121名完成第一階段的行為前測和個人化旅運計畫擬定，以及第二階段的心理量測和行為後測。研究結果顯示，就「行為意圖」對「減少汽車使用」之影響，透過「應對計劃」之中介效果占81%、透過「行動計劃暨應對計劃」之中介效果則占19%；而就「行為意圖」對「增加利環境運具使用」之影響，透過「行動計劃」、「應對計劃」和「行動計劃暨應對計劃」之中介效果分別占49%、41%和9%。由此可知，當旅運者具備構成「應對計劃」之「阻礙預期」和「應對策略」時，便能使「行動計劃」受到輔助而促進行為改變。就都市公共運輸政策意涵而言，僅影響旅運者的行為意圖將不足以提升使用率，還需搭配路線試乘、教育訓練、工作坊的辦理，使其體驗公共運輸，並刺激其開始思考、擘劃屬於己身轉用公共運輸的行動和應對計畫，方能將行為意圖付諸實踐。","URL":"https:\/\/www.airitilibrary.com\/Publication\/alDetailedMesh?DocID=10181067-202106-202107050005-202107050005-205-238&PublishTypeID=P001","KEYWORD_EN":" Action planning ； Coping planning ； Mediating effects ； Travel behavior change ； Public transport","KEYWORD_ZH":"行動計劃 ； 應對計劃 ； 中介效果 ； 旅運行為轉變 ； 公共運輸","year":"2021-06"},{"Tname":"安大衛","article_name":"The impossibility of the triple helix","author":"Andersson, D.

In addition, the expected negative relationship between accessibility and the spaciousness of housing is weak or non-existent in Taiwan’s metropolitan areas. Taiwan should therefore be highly suited to rail transportation investments. In 2007, a new high-speed railroad was inaugurated, connecting seven metropolitan areas. Hedonic estimates show that high-speed rail accessibility has a substantial impact on house prices in at least four of the regions. Interregional downtown-to-downtown commuting time seems to be the most important determinant of success in generating a station-centered price-distance gradient.

As Albert\r\nHirschmann (1970) notes, one can signal one’s preferences by voice—by\r\nvoting in elections or by expressing one’s opinions in other ways—or by exiting a jurisdiction or organization that is perceived as offering an insufficiently attractive bundle of services. However, people’s choices are affected by their loyalty to the entity in question (ibid.). Thus, a reasonable hypothesis is that the exit option becomes more popular if a jurisdiction is seen primarily as a provider of collective goods rather than as the symbolic manifestation of bonds of loyalty. Patriotism is thus bad news for the exit option. It weakens a higher-level spontaneous order that I like to call polycentric democracy. This higher-level spontaneous order can thus be assumed to be more effective when the residents of the constituent lower-level democracies do not have strong jurisdiction-specific attachments; a high level of household mobility is thus good for polycentric democracy.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/cosmosandtaxis.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/05\/sieo_5_2012_andersson.pdf","KEYWORD_EN":"democracy; polycentricity; spontaneous order","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2012-01"},{"Tname":"安大衛","article_name":"Liberalism after Burczak: redistribution, worker self-management and the market process","author":"Andersson, D.

Focusing on political advertisements by minor parties, this study examines the impact of prevalent emotional appeals (enthusiasm, pride, anger, hope, anxiety, and fear) in political ads on the party attitudes and voting intentions of voters with different party preferences by integrating the affective intelligence theory and the emotional valence dimension (positive vs. negative) from the emotional dimension theory. Employing a one-factor between-subjects experimental design, this study manipulated New Power Party (NPP) political advertisements to test the effectiveness of emotional appeals. The experimental results reveal that when voters’ party preferences are consistent with the advertised party (i.e., NPP supporters see NPP advertisements), the emotional appeals of enthusiasm and pride under the disposition system lead to more favorable party attitudes and voting intentions. Conversely, when voters’ party preferences are inconsistent with the advertised party (i.e., Democratic Progressive Party supporters see NPP advertisements), the emotional appeals of hope and anxiety under the surveillance system yield better effects. In contrast, for voters with no specific party preference, the emotional appeals of hope and fear under the surveillance system are more effective. In addition to bridging the research gap in affective intelligence theory and broadening the exploration of minor party political marketing and emotional appeals, this study provides practical recommendations on how minor parties can design political advertisements.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"minor parties, political advertising, emotional appeal, affective intelligence theory, party consistency","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-11"},{"Tname":"王紹蓉","article_name":"Non-single dating app use and the cognitive and psychological mechanisms of infidelity: gender differences","author":"Wang, S.

Data from non-single dating app users in Taiwan reveal a positive relationship between the quantity and quality of alternatives, suggesting that exposure to many profiles may prompt users to rely on heuristics and focus on distinctive characteristics to quickly assess potential alternatives. Furthermore, having many choices may satisfy the need for short-term encounters. The quality of alternatives is positively linked to partner choice regret, which negatively impacts commitment. Gender differences emerge, with males showing a higher likelihood of infidelity due to partner choice regrets, particularly in offline contexts. Despite maintaining a strong commitment to their primary partner, males exhibit a greater inclination towards offline infidelity, highlighting a scenario where commitment and infidelity may coexist for male dating app users.

In addition, it examines how the rebuttal leads to better effects when the attack goes against the candidate's core and non-core images. The results of three experiments show that when a candidate's core image is attacked and voters' original perception of that core image is based on the candidate's educational background, work experience, and previous performance as a public official, then using a humorous rebuttal or non-humorous rebuttal yields similar effects. However, if the core image perception comes from stereotypes, regardless of gender or attractiveness labels, then using a non-humorous rebuttal improves voters' attitudes and voting intentions toward the responding candidate. When a candidate's non-core image is attacked, humorous rebuttal generates better rebuttal effects. The research findings offer a theoretical contribution to research areas such as response strategies to negative attacks, candidate image, gender stereotypes, and attractiveness labels and provide practical suggestions for campaign teams on how to respond to negative attacks.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":" candidate image ； humor ； negative attacks ； rebuttal ； response strategies","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2021-10"},{"Tname":"張世賢","article_name":"Major Customer Network Structure and Supplier Trade Credit","author":"Shih-Sian (Sherwin) Jhang, Ta-Wei (Daniel) Kao, Hung-Chung Su","journal_name":"International Journal of Operations and Production Management","DES_EN":"Purpose – This study investigates how a firm’s structural embeddedness, the structural position in a supply\r\nnetwork that consists of major customers, influences the acquisition of supplier trade credit.

Based on the IT-2 Takagi-18 Sugeno Fuzzy Model (T-SFM), the fuzzy control approach can offer a more effective solution for NMASs facing 19 uncertainties. Unlike existing control methods for NMASs, the Formation and Containment (F-and-C) control 20 problem with collision avoidance capability under uncertainties based on the IT-2 T-SFM is discussed for the 21 first time. Moreover, an IT-2 fuzzy tracking control approach is proposed to solve the formation task for leaders 22 in NMASs without requiring communication. This control scheme makes the design process of the IT-2 fuzzy 23 Formation Controller (FC) more straightforward and effective.

In line with the IT2 membership function design of the TSFSM, the fuzzy controller is developed using the state feedback technique. Subsequently, the state covariance matrices and the variance constraints are constructed for each subsystem of the IT2 TSFSM. By reformulating the closed-loop model into parallel and cross-terms, the number of fuzzy rules required for the analysis can be effectively reduced. This approach also allows for the integration of covariance control theory into the IT2 fuzzy controller design. Using Lyapunov theory, stability criteria involving upper and lowerbound parameters and state covariance matrices are derived. Unlike typical Type-1 (T1) fuzzy control approaches, the upper and lower-bound membership functions complicate the integration of covariance control theory, which is also overcome in this research. Additionally, the stability and variance constraints are further achieved by applying an upperbound matrix. The stability conditions are also converted into a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) problem.

While learning efficiency is critical due to the need for updating frequently the model to alleviate the impact of concept drift, limited work has focused on improving it. For efficient learning and accurate forecasting, this study proposes the dynamic spatiotemporal straight-flow network (DSTSFN). Breaking the aggregation paradigms employing both inner and outer aggregation, which may be redundant, the DSTSFN designs a straight-flow network that employs bipartite graphs to learn directly the dependencies between the source and target nodes for outer aggregation only. Instead of the attention mechanisms, the dynamic graphs\/networks, which outdo static ones by possessing time-varying dependencies, are designed in the DSTSFN to distinguish the dependency heterogeneity, making the model relatively streamlined. Additionally, two learning strategies based on respectively the curriculum and transfer learning are developed to further improve the learning efficiency of the DSTSFN. Our study could be the first work designing the learning strategies for the multi-step traffic predictor based on dynamic spatiotemporal graphs. The learning efficiency and forecasting accuracy are demonstrated by experiments, which show that the DSTSFN can outperform not only the state-of-the-art (SOTA) predictor for accuracy by achieving a 2.27% improvement in accuracy and requiring only 8.98% of the average training time, but also the SOTA predictor for efficiency by achieving a 9.26% improvement in accuracy and requiring 91.68% of the average training time.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/abstract\/document\/10707000","KEYWORD_EN":"Traffic forecasting, spatiotemporal learning, dynamic spatiotemporal graphs, heterogeneous dependencies","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-11"},{"Tname":"黃鋒樟","article_name":"Intelligent clinic nurse scheduling considering nurses paired with doctors and preference of nurses","author":"Y.-C.

Precise metro passenger flow (MPF) prediction is crucial in ensuring smooth operations of the metro system. Recently, the graph convolutional network (GCN), which is effective in the spatial feature extraction, has been applied in traffic prediction. However, most existing GCN-based methods construct the empirical graphs based on distance and adjacency, which cannot fully express the correlations of metro stations. This paper proposes a novel MPF prediction method consisting of three parts: K-means-based metro station functional clustering (KMSFC), external feature fusion, and dual-view recurrent GCN (DVRGCN). The KMSFC identifies the metro stations both having similar MPF changing tendencies and being located in similar urban functional areas. Furthermore, the DVRGCN is designed to simultaneously capture the spatiotemporal and external features. The dual-view GCN module in the DVRGCN captures both explicit and implicit spatial features of the metro traffic network. To demonstrate the capability for making accurate MPF predictions, the experiments using a real-world metro traffic dataset are conducted. The ablation experiments are also performed to prove the contribution of each module in the proposed method.

One possible solution is to strategically expand essential product capacity to increase supply resilience. Governments must cooperate closely with suppliers through carefully designed subsidy policies. A theoretical model based on current industry practices was built to explore and analyze the partnerships between governments and essential product suppliers. Our proposed model includes four players: the government, the supplier, the selling agent, and the consumer. We considered government subsidy policies for capacity expansion in building supply chains subject to two pricing designs: (1) government pricing and (2) market pricing. The results indicate that once a disruption occurs, social welfare increases with the government-subsidized expansion of essential goods to increase supply chain capacity. We analytically show that if the government does not support production expansion, the supplier can expand production only if the expansion cost is trivial. Furthermore, without government pricing, the product price increases in the government subsidy ratio. Hence, we conclude that government intervention is required to stabilize the market with proper price control, especially in the essential goods supply chain.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.cie.2024.110576","KEYWORD_EN":"Reselling, agency selling Supply chain resilience Market pricing Government pricing Government subsidy","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-01"},{"Tname":"徐士傑","article_name":"How social media fatigue feigning and altering emotion discourage the use of social media","author":"Jack Shih-Chieh Hsu, Chao-Min Chiu, Yu-Ting Chang-Chien, & Tang, K.","journal_name":"Internet Research","DES_EN":"How social media fatigue feigning and altering emotion discourage the use of social media","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"Social media fatigue","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2024-01"},{"Tname":"李偉柏","article_name":"An Emotion-Driven and Topic-Aware Dialogue Framework for Human-Robot Interaction","author":"I.-C.

This paper proposes a fast spatiotemporal learning (FSTL) framework containing the fast spatiotemporal GCN module, which reduces the computational complexity of the spatiotemporal GCN from O(k2) to O(k) , where k is the number of time steps of data learned in each GCN operation. To mine globally and fast the correlations of road node pairs, a correlation analysis based on the normal distribution with the complexity of O(N) , where N is the number of nodes in the traffic network, is proposed to construct the global correlation matrix. Besides, the multi-scale temporal learning is integrated into the FSTL to overcome the receptive field constraints of the spatiotemporal GCN. The experimental results on four real-world datasets demonstrate that the FSTL achieves 48.88% and 5.26% reductions in the training time and mean absolute error, respectively, compared with the state-of-the-art model.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/9966328","KEYWORD_EN":"Graph convolution network, multi-scale learning, spatiotemporal learning, traffic flow forecasting","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2023-08"},{"Tname":"吳仁和","article_name":"Enhancing healthcare services and brand engagement through social media marketing: Integration of Kotler’s 5A framework with IDEA process","author":"Hung, C.

Effective TTP of road segments is instrumental in route planning, traffic control, and traffic management.

This paper develops a TTP method based on the spatial-feature-based hierarchical clustering (SFHC) and deep multi-input gated recurrent unit (DMGRU). The proposed two-stage method is capable of capturing the spatial-temporal features of traffic network. Specifically, the SFHC divides the road segments into several clusters having similar traffic features, and then the clustered data is fed into the DMGRU for TTP.

Via applying a fuzzy modeling approach, the nonlinear singular system is expressed by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model composed of several linear subsystems. Furthermore, the parallel distributed compensation fuzzy controller is designed such that the controlled singular system is stable. Employing Proportional Derivative (PD) control method, the regularity and impulse-free property of the singular systems can be held. However, the PD control method is challengable because the state signals of singular systems are not always measurable. Therefore, a novel fuzzy observer is designed to ensure the existence of estimated states. For the observer-based PD control issue, some sufficient stability conditions are derived for T-S fuzzy singular systems. Moreover, the control gains and observer gains can be conveniently calculated using the Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) calculation. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to verify the availability and applicability of the proposed design method.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"Nonlinear singular systems, Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, Observer-based control, Proportional derivative design method","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2021-02"},{"Tname":"安大衛","article_name":"The geography of science in 12 European countries: a NUTS2-level analysis","author":"Andersson, D.

Regions such as Île de France and the corridor that stretches from Cambridge to Oxford via London produce a disproportionate share of Europe’s science output. An econometric analysis sheds light on the factors that explain the spatial distribution of European science. One result is that the regional volume of Web of Science publications depends on the regional number of researchers in higher education institutions. This is however not the only cause of high output. Universities and their surrounding regions are slowly evolving institutional structures. Some regions host universities that are more than 500 years old. A second key result is that an increase in the age of a region’s oldest university is associated with greater output, other things being equal. Third, interregional accessibility via road, rail, and air networks is important for small regions, but not for large ones. Conversely, regional high-tech R&D employment is important for large but not for small regions.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s11192-020-03510-9","KEYWORD_EN":"science output; NUTS2; Europe","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2020-05"},{"Tname":"邱兆民","article_name":"The central roles of embeddedness and engagement in virtual communities","author":"Chiu, CM; Fu, CY; Lin, WY; Chen, CF","journal_name":"Online Information Review","DES_EN":"The purpose of this paper is to develop a deeper understanding of how to promote members’ beneficial behaviors toward other members and toward the virtual community (VC).

However, current approaches to modeling formative constructs have potential validity problems and thus limited applicability. Here, we highlight two major problems in formative measurement—interpretational confounding and interpretational ambiguity—and propose a novel resolution. Interpretational confounding occurs when using the traditional free-estimation approach, because the weights of different formative indicators vary as the dependent variable changes, resulting in the distortion of the measurement weights of the focal formative construct and thus jeopardizing the generalizability of empirical tests. Another way to alleviate the interpretational-confounding issue is to include the multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) construct in the path model (i.e., MIMIC-path). Unfortunately, this method has led to the second major problem of interpretational ambiguity, the existence of more than one potential explanation of the formative model. More specifically, reflective indicators in the MIMIC model can be viewed as (1) indicators of the MIMIC construct, (2) dependent variables of the formative construct, or (3) indicators of a reflective construct affected by independent variables (formative indicators). To resolve these issues, we propose a two-stage fixed-weight redundancy model (FWRM) approach. We demonstrate the applicability of the FWRM approach with a set of survey data. We conducted a simulation study evaluating the FWRM approach by comparing it with the commonly used free-estimation and MIMIC-path methods. The results indicate that our FWRM approach can indeed improve the validity of formative construct modeling by mitigating confounding and ambiguity issues.","DES_ZH":"","URL":"","KEYWORD_EN":"Formative measurement, fixed-weight redundancy model (FWRM), freeestimation model, interpretational confounding, interpretational ambiguity, MIMIC model, structural equation modeling (SEM), partial least squares (PLS).","KEYWORD_ZH":"","year":"2018-07"},{"Tname":"林政佑","article_name":"Fairness and devotion go far: Integrating online justice and value co-creation in virtual communities","author":"En-Yi, Chou*, Cheng-Yu, Lin, and Heng-Chiang, Huang","journal_name":"International Journal of Information Management","DES_EN":"Although building long-term, successful virtual communities is important, rare studies have examined both in- and extra-role value co-creation behaviors from the perspective of social exchange theory and equity theory.

The second type of spatial political bias is greater intraprovincial collaboration than is accounted for by size and distance.
