In today's world, the use of modern cybersecurity technologies is vital for organizations. However, the adoption of these technologies among entrepreneurial organizations faces challenges. This research aims to analyze the technical, organizational, and environmental factors influencing the adoption of cybersecurity technologies in entrepreneurial organizations. In this regard, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the impact of these factors on the adoption of cybersecurity technologies. This study employed both statistical methods of structural equation modeling (SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN). The statistical population consisted of experts, specialists, and managers in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) with experience in entrepreneurship, totaling 251 individuals. A sample of 152 individuals was selected using random sampling and Cochran's formula. For data analysis, SEM was used to present the conceptual model and examine causal relationships among variables, while ANN was utilized to predict technology adoption based on influential factors. SPSS and PLS-SEM software were used for these analyses. The results indicate that regulatory and compliance requirements, senior management support, technology compatibility, ease of use, organizational culture, competitive pressure, security capabilities, sufficient resources, and user readiness and awareness positively and significantly impact the adoption of cybersecurity technologies. These findings assist managers of entrepreneurial organizations in identifying and managing key factors influencing the adoption of these technologies. Additionally, these results can contribute to the development of theoretical frameworks in the field of technology adoption in entrepreneurial organizations. Sensitivity analysis using ANN with a sigmoid transfer function and backpropagation algorithm showed that environmental factors, with a normalized importance mean of 33.3%, had the highest importance in the conceptual model of the research. Organizational factors ranked second with 28.8% normalized importance, while technical factors, with 25.2%, had the least importance among the three categories of factors examined. These findings highlight the decisive role of environmental and organizational factors compared to technical factors in the phenomenon under study. These findings can help improve the process of adopting new cybersecurity technologies in organizations. Overall, the results of this study suggest that for the successful adoption of new cybersecurity technologies in organizations, special attention should be paid to cultural factors, resources, regulatory requirements, and management support. Understanding and prioritizing these key factors can significantly help managers in formulating more effective strategies and plans to increase the adoption rate of these technologies.

Improving the level of digital industry innovation is of great significance to enhance the competitiveness of China’s digital industry and improve the sustainable development advantages of the digital economy. Based on the technology–organization–environment framework (TOE framework), this paper establishes a multi-stage configuration analysis model of factors affecting enterprises’ digital innovation, selects six antecedent variables from technology, organization, and environment, including R&D investment, high-level talents, organizational size, top management team heterogeneity, industrial development speed, and regional digitalization level, and explores the driving path for improving enterprise digital innovation intention and digital innovation performance under the influence of multi-factor combinations. The results are presented that single factors or single dimensions struggle to stimulate high digital innovation, and the combination configuration of multiple factors has a significant impact. The configuration paths that drive high digital innovation intention include the technology–environment type (TE type) driven by technological and environmental factors, organization–environment type (OE type) driven by organizational and environmental factors and technology–organization–environment type (TOE type) driven by technological, organizational, and environmental factors; the configuration paths that drive high digital innovation performance include the technology–organization type (TO type) driven by technological and organizational factors, organization–environment type (OE type) driven by organizational and environmental factors. With the evolution of time, there are configuration solutions with relatively high stability, such as the TE type and OE type that drive high digital innovation intention, and the TO type that drives high digital innovation performance. The results provide a reference for revealing the key influencing factors and driving paths of enterprise digital innovation, and improving the vitality and output level of enterprise digital innovation.

Despite the growing awareness of the health benefits of physical activity participation among adolescents, physical inactivity remains a pressing concern for many adolescents around the globe. Using Ecological models of health behavior as a guide, this study investigated the combined effects of environmental, organizational, interpersonal, and individual factors on Chinese junior high school students’ sport participation. A four-level structural equation model (SEM) integrating environmental, organizational, interpersonal, and individual factors was developed for 780 students (51.79% boys, 48.21% girls) from nine middle schools in Heping District of Tianjin. The model showed acceptable fit (CMIN/DF = 2.601, GFI = 0.949, CFI = 0.971, TLI = 0.965, RMSEA = 0.045), and correlation analyzes indicated that sport participation was moderately positively correlated with personal, interpersonal, organizational, and environmental factors (r = 0.476–0.531, p < 0.01). Structural equation modeling further confirmed that Environmental Factors (Env.F), Organizational Factors (Org.F), Interpersonal Factors (Int.F) and Individual Factors (Ind.F) had significant direct and indirect effects on sport participation (SP). Multiple and interlocking mediation paths emerged, indicating partial mediation between the four levels. “Int.F → Ind.F → SP” showed a strong indirect effect (β = 0.124, 95% CI [0.043, 0.221]), emphasizing the critical role of interpersonal support and personal confidence in shaping youth sport participation. Further, the most extensive chain, “Env.F → Org.F → Int.F → Ind.F → SP,” also emerged as a valid path, with an indirect effect of β = 0.027 (95% CI [0.010, 0.052]). The results suggest the need for a multilevel intervention that coordinates environmental and organizational resources, strengthens family and peer support, and fosters individual self-efficacy to ultimately promote sustained youth participation in sports.

This paper examined the adoption of e-commerce systems in Ghana under the influence of integrated UTAUT and TOE frameworks. The paper bridges gaps in the literature in the context of understanding how TOE framework constructs moderate the influence of core constructs of UTAUT on the adoption of EC systems among SMEs. The data generated (362) via an online questionnaire from a cross-section of Ghanaian SMEs was analyzed with Smart PLS using the structural equation model methods. The results demonstrate that both performance and effort expectancy of EC systems drive the intention of Ghanaian SMEs to use e-commerce systems. Behavioral intention to use was found to be significant in influencing the adoption behavior of EC systems. However, organizational factors failed to significantly influence the intent to use EC systems. Additionally, the moderating results demonstrated the importance of technological aspects in reducing the impact of performance and effort expectancy on the intention to utilize. Also, environmental factors were substantial in moderating the impact of intention to use on the adoption behavior of EC systems. The implications of these results including both theoretical and managerial are discussed thoroughly to aid both researchers and policymakers when it comes to understanding EC adoption among SMEs.

The way of communication and pattern of doing business have been changed remarkably due to adoption of social networking sites intensively in daily life. This study attempts to unveil the impact of environmental and organizational factors on SNSs adoption among the institutional investors in Bangladesh. By using structured online questionnaires, data were collected from the institutional investors. Partial least square based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), a variance based statistical analysis technique, was used to analyze the data. It explored that environmental and organizational factors are significant antecedents to adopt the social networking sites (SNSs) among the institutional investors. Remarkably, it found that environmental factors have significant impact on organizational factors during the adoption of SNSs among the institutional investors. Most remarkable finding is observed that environmental factors are more robust predictor than organizational factors during the adoption of SNSs. This study will enrich the existing literature by incorporating organizational and environmental factor as direct determinants of intention to use as well as TOE. It will help institutional investors and service providers to formulate strategy regarding the adoption of SNSs in institutional context.

ABSTRACTThe rapid expansion of the information systems (IS) and information technology industry has brought undeniable economic and social benefits. However, its environmental footprint has raised concerns, particularly in developing economies where sustainability initiatives face structural and resource constraints. Green IS holds promise in addressing these challenges, yet their successful implementation in higher education institutions (HEIs) remains uncertain due to complex technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) factors. This research examines the relatively unexplored realm of TOE factors influencing green information systems practices (GISP). The study utilized an online survey questionnaire to gather data from 166 HEIs in an emerging economy. It employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) to analyze the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that GISP adoption is primarily influenced by compatibility, security concerns (environmental factors), organizational readiness, top management support, employee capability (organizational factors), government support, and competitive pressure (environmental factors). This study contributes to the IS literature by extending the TOE framework and providing novel insights into GISP within the HEI sector. Beyond its theoretical contributions, the study offers practical insights into how HEIs in resource‐constrained settings can navigate sustainability transitions. It highlights the pivotal role of top management in driving sustainable decision‐making and emphasizes the strategic allocation of TOE resources as essential for the effective implementation of GISP. The findings are particularly relevant for policymakers, HEI administrators, and stakeholders seeking to integrate IS for sustainable development.

Considering the emergence and adoption of various innovative technologies, the construction industry has undergone transformation into a more secure, highly efficient, and ecologically sustainable landscape. An increasing number of studies uses the structural equation modeling (SEM) method to explore the dynamics of technology adoption and use within the construction sector. Previous studies have mainly focused on qualitative analysis using the SEM method to analyze technology adoption and usage in the construction industry. This study, however, distinguishes itself from previous research by focusing on the SEM method itself and conducting a systematic analysis using scientometric methods. Based on a total of 140 relevant journal articles, this study adopts a scientometric analysis approach to conduct a holistic review encompassing sources, researchers, keywords, and highly cited documents. The research findings are as follows: (1) the primary focus of the current research topics is on BIM technology; (2) most studies employ cross-sectional SEM instead of longitudinal SEM; (3) there is a deficiency in the theoretical foundation for designing SEM in current research; and (4) the selection of either reflective or formative measures lacks sufficient rigor. Qualitative analysis is used to examine prevailing issues in research design and address the intricate technicalities and potential challenges inherent in the SEM method. Three research gaps and future directions are presented: diversifying regions of study and research topics, incorporating theoretical support for research design, and carefully choosing reflective or formative measures. The findings provide a comprehensive roadmap and valuable reference for future research in this field.
