Customer Shopping Behavior on E-Commerce Effectiveness Using the Information System Success Theory Approach

In addressing the purpose of this research, it seeks to unravel the intricacies of payment systems in e-commerce, particularly focusing on the challenges posed by the indirect nature of transactions. The design and methodology of the study involve a comprehensive examination of customer perceptions and concerns, emphasising payment security and privacy in the digital landscape. This investigation stems from recognising that security is a linchpin for the successful development of Internet-based payment systems. Within the discourse of e-commerce, customer apprehensions regarding the security of their payment and financial information, encompassing details like credit card transaction numbers, are prevalent. As the e-commerce market in Indonesia experiences rapid growth, exemplified by the leadership of Tokopedia, the competition among companies and organisations intensifies. The endeavour to satisfy customers becomes a formidable challenge for many, underscoring the need for nuanced insights into the factors influencing customer satisfaction. Adopting the Information System Success Theory as a theoretical framework, this study posits that customer concerns about the payment system significantly impact the perceived quality of service. In this context, quality serves as a yardstick for measuring effectiveness by delving into the intricate layers of customer satisfaction. The research employs Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) as the chosen methodology, engaging with the perspectives of 100 respondents to derive meaningful conclusions. Despite its contributions, the study acknowledges its limitations, including the inherent subjectivity in customer perceptions. Nevertheless, the implications drawn from this research carry significance for the ongoing refinement and enhancement of e-commerce payment systems, providing valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers navigating the dynamic intersection of technology and consumer satisfaction in the digital age.

Every Team Needs a Coach: Insights from Ontario Health Teams

Introduction: Globally, health systems are moving toward better integrated care organization and delivery. A current example within the Canadian context is the restructuring of care delivery in Ontario, in alignment with the Quadruple Aim. The vision for reorganizing care into Ontario Health Teams (OHTs) was announced by the government in early 2019 and this has prompted care providers across sectors to choose priority patient populations and engage in collaborative governance to achieve desired outcomes. The early implementation of OHTs was “low rules:” each OHT assembled its own leadership and governance infrastructure to meet local needs. This was (and remains) a significant task, requiring strategic thinking and inter-organizational collaboration. In response, a team of faculty at the University of Toronto developed the ADVANCE program to guide shared leadership, decision-making and accountability for leaders of OHT partner organizations. The program, designed as a virtual constellation of educational supports included two main streams of activity: (1) a six-module series of interactive webinars to support leadership council members, and (2) adaptive support to local coaches embedded in the leadership teams. 
 Methods: The Coaching Academy was intentionally designed with a responsive and adaptive curriculum, underpinned by the Collective Impact framework. OHT leadership teams nominated local coaches, based on specified coaching competencies and characteristics. We onboarded coaches through an intake interview which allowed us to better understand the collaborative culture/norms of their OHT, and their individual learning needs. These insights also informed the Coaching Academy curriculum which included virtual synchronous and asynchronous engagement methods. Monthly synchronous sessions included a blend of expert lectures and open-ended coach discussion. To encourage asynchronous engagement, we posted discussion questions and learning resources on an external collaborative platform. At regular intervals, we elicited feedback from coaches (via Google forms) and adapted our content and delivery format accordingly. 
 Results: The coach participants were diverse in terms of their educational backgrounds, years of experience, position on the leadership council (e.g., CEO, Patient/Family Advisor, etc.) and willingness to participate (e.g., volunteered or ‘voluntold’). We learned that coaches functioned in a variety of contexts, dependent on the culture and the processes adopted by individual OHTs. We observed that coaches’ needs evolved throughout the program, likely due to the dynamic intersection of OHT implementation and the ongoing management of the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2022, coach feedback indicated that less frequent touchpoints were needed, and coaches valued learning from other coaches and receiving asynchronous materials. We adapted the curriculum for the final cohort to include coach touchpoints every 2-3 months. 
 Conclusion and Next Steps: When planning the Coaching Academy, our team anticipated the need to be flexible and adaptable in terms of the program format and content to meet the needs of a diverse participant group. These insights could be helpful for others who are engaged in health care system transformation and considering varying approaches for building a culture of collaborative governance.
