Exploring the Effects of Online Physician Voice Pitch Range and Filled Pauses on Patient Satisfaction in Mobile Health Communication

ABSTRACT The convenience of mobile devices has driven the widespread use of voice technology in mobile health communication, significantly improving the timeliness of online service. However, the issue of listening to therapeutic content, which requires great cognitive effort and may exceed the patient’s information processing capacity (i.e., information overload), is of concern. Based on information processing theory, this study reports how online physicians’ voice characteristics (pitch range and filled pauses) affect patient satisfaction. We obtained 10,585 mobile voice consultation records of 1,416 doctors from China’s largest mHealth platform and analyzed them using audio mining and empirical methods. Results showed that pitch range (β = 0.0539, p < .01) and filled pauses (β = 0.0365, p < .01) in doctors’ voice positively influenced online patient satisfaction. However, the effect of filled pauses becomes weaker for patients with higher health literacy and higher disease risk. This suggests that there is heterogeneity in the way different patients process audio information. This study provides important insights for guiding online physician behaviors, enhancing patient satisfaction, and improving mobile health platform management.

The impact of healthcare 4.0 technologies on healthcare supply chain performance: Extending the organizational information processing theory

Increasing supply chain performance in an uncertain environment is a challenge for every industry, predominantly, healthcare sector. To address such issues, there is an urgent need for healthcare organizations like hospitals to build new capabilities. We suggest using organizational information processing theory (OIPT) as theoretical foundation for developing research model that investigates how healthcare 4.0 technologies (big data analytics, artificial intelligence and blockchain) enhance hospital supply chain processes and thereby the performance. According to our analysis of survey data from around 255 hospital managers in Indian hospitals, the three hospital supply chain processes, viz., operations, innovations, and risk management, and the supply chain performance are significantly impacted by these healthcare 4.0 technologies. Additionally, hospital supply chain operations and innovations partially mediate the association between healthcare 4.0 technologies and performance. We also found, the interaction between healthcare 4.0 technologies and hospital supply chain operations is moderated by type of healthcare organizations (private, and public hospitals). In addition to extending and validating the OIPT in context of digital hospital supply chains, these findings offer healthcare professionals empirical evidence to further maximize the benefits of healthcare 4.0 technologies for sustained hospital supply chain performance and integrate digital supply management into health system development.

Integrating Scholarly Evidence and Personal Experience in Health Information Technology-Enabled Evidence-Based Patient-Care Practices: Challenges, Opportunities, and Outcomes

Scholarly evidence and personal experience are two prominent sources of knowledge informing patient-care practices in hospitals. In evidence-based patient-care practices, jointly applying both forms of knowledge is challenging due to the divergent preferences of administrative personnel versus frontline providers towards these knowledge sources and the limited understanding of how to combine these knowledge sources effectively despite divergent preferences. Health information technologies (HITs) tend to influence this challenge by simultaneously imprinting a standardized practice based on scholarly evidence while also allowing workarounds based on personal experience. We apply a theoretical framework, integrating cognitive information processing theory and agency theory, to the context of HIT-enabled evidence-based patient-care practices to investigate the circumstances that enable joint consideration of scholarly evidence and personal experience in value-adding versus value-depleting ways in these practices. Our findings reveal the salience of outcome uncertainty and of the prior stored knowledge of administrative personnel versus frontline providers in enabling joint considerations of the two types of knowledge and the value-adding versus value-depleting outcomes that result.

The influence of bootleg innovation on individual innovation performance: The mediating effect of cognitive flexibility and the moderating effect of leadership's emotional intelligence.

Based Correctly handling the creativity of employees who have not been adopted is not only conducive to continuously stimulating employees' creativity and improving individual innovation performance, but also conducive to making the best use of organizational resources. This study integrates conservation of resource theory (COR) and social information processing theory to explore the influence of bootleg innovation behavior in organizations on individual innovation performance, as well as the mediating role of cognitive flexibility and the moderating role of leadership emotional intelligence. A three-stage time-lagged research design is used to obtain a valid sample of 327 employees from China. The PROCESS macro for SPSS was applied to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings demonstrated that bootleg innovation is positively related to individual innovation performance; cognitive flexibility mediates the relationship between bootleg innovation and individual innovation performance. Moreover, leadership emotional intelligence moderates the relationship between bootleg innovation and individual innovation performance and between bootleg innovation and cognitive flexibility and between cognitive flexibility and individual innovation performance respectively. The conclusion of the study not only provides a theoretical basis for individuals and leaders to deal with employees' creative abortion, but also provides a new thinking mode for how to maximize the effectiveness of unaccepted ideas and promote individual innovation performance.

Phase-encoded fMRI tracks down brainstorms of natural language processing with subsecond precision.

Natural language processing unfolds information overtime as spatially separated, multimodal, and interconnected neural processes. Existing noninvasive subtraction-based neuroimaging techniques cannot simultaneously achieve the spatial and temporal resolutions required to visualize ongoing information flows across the whole brain. Here we have developed rapid phase-encoded designs to fully exploit the temporal information latent in functional magnetic resonance imaging data, as well as overcoming scanner noise and head-motion challenges during overt language tasks. We captured real-time information flows as coherent hemodynamic waves traveling over the cortical surface during listening, reading aloud, reciting, and oral cross-language interpreting tasks. We were able to observe the timing, location, direction, and surge of traveling waves in all language tasks, which were visualized as "brainstorms" on brain "weather" maps. The paths of hemodynamic traveling waves provide direct evidence for dual-stream models of the visual and auditory systems as well as logistics models for crossmodal and cross-language processing. Specifically, we have tracked down the step-by-step processing of written or spoken sentences first being received and processed by the visual or auditory streams, carried across language and domain-general cognitive regions, and finally delivered as overt speeches monitored through the auditory cortex, which gives a complete picture of information flows across the brain during natural language functioning. PRACTITIONER POINTS: Phase-encoded fMRI enables simultaneous imaging of high spatial and temporal resolution, capturing continuous spatiotemporal dynamics of the entire brain during real-time overt natural language tasks. Spatiotemporal traveling wave patterns provide direct evidence for constructing comprehensive and explicit models of human information processing. This study unlocks the potential of applying rapid phase-encoded fMRI to indirectly track the underlying neural information flows of sequential sensory, motor, and high-order cognitive processes.

Differential effects of attachment security on visual fixation to facial expressions of emotion in 14-month-old infants: an eye-tracking study.

Models of attachment and information processing suggest that the attention infants allocate to social information might occur in a schema-driven processing manner according to their attachment pattern. A major source of social information for infants consists of facial expressions of emotion. We tested for differences in attention to facial expressions and emotional discrimination between infants classified as securely attached (B), insecure-avoidant (A), and insecure-resistant (C). Sixty-one 14-month-old infants participated in the Strange Situation Procedure and an experimental task of Visual Habituation and Visual Paired-Comparison Task (VPC). In the Habituation phase, a Low-Arousal Happy face (habituation face) was presented followed by a VPC task of 6 trials composed of two contrasting emotional faces always involving the same actress: the one used in habituation (trial old face) and a new one (trial new face) portraying changes in valence (Low-Arousal Angry face), arousal (High-Arousal Happy face), or valence + arousal (High-Arousal Angry face). Measures of fixation time (FT) and number of fixations (FC) were obtained for the habituation face, the trial old face, the trial new face, and the difference between the trial old face and the trial new face using an eye-tracking system. We found a higher FT and FC for the trial new face when compared with the trial old face, regardless of the emotional condition (valence, arousal, valence + arousal contrasts), suggesting that 14-month-old infants were able to discriminate different emotional faces. However, this effect differed according to attachment pattern: resistant-attached infants (C) had significantly higher FT and FC for the new face than patterns B and A, indicating they may remain hypervigilant toward emotional change. On the contrary, avoidant infants (A) revealed significantly longer looking times to the trial old face, suggesting overall avoidance of novel expressions and thus less sensitivity to emotional change. Overall, these findings corroborate that attachment is associated with infants' social information processing.

Revolutionizing the restaurant industry: exploring the implementation and impact of blockchain technology on the dining experience

ABSTRACT This research conducted two studies on blockchain technology (BCT) in the restaurant supply chain. The first study explored how BCT influences customer dining experiences using a service design workshop. The second study validated the findings using PLS-SEM. Results indicate that customer innovativeness and cryptocurrency ownership positively impact transparency perceptions. Increased transparency improves food safety, quality, and naturalness perceptions, enhancing customer satisfaction and eWOM behavior. Food safety concerns and health consciousness strengthen the relationship between transparency and perceived food safety and quality. This research expands information processing theory and offers insights for restaurant owners, policymakers, and technology developers regarding BCT adoption.

군 조직의 시간 긴급성 풍토에 대한 지각이 직무 스트레스에 미치는 영향

In order to secure a competitive advantage, organizations need to consider deadlines when pursuing goals and tasks. In such work environments and atmospheres, effective leadership is crucial in managing organizational time resources carefully and minimizing job stress among members.&#x0D; This study empirically confirmed the mechanism by which perceived organizational time urgency climate mediated by time pressure affects job stress, based on social information processing theory and the job demands-resources theory. To accomplish this, a survey was conducted on military officers in a mechanized unit of the South Korean Army, and a final sample of 342 participants was analyzed after excluding 37 untruthful respondents from the original sample of 379 respondents with varying ranks and lengths of service. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and reliability tests were conducted using SPSS 24, and the validity of variables and model fit were examined through confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS 24. Additionally, hierarchical regression analysis was performed using SPSS 24 to verify the relationships among variables Existing research on time has primarily focused on the relationship between individual personality traits, individual behavior, and performance in organizations. Additionally, various studies have been conducted on organizational climate, but research specifically related to organizational time urgency climate has been limited. Therefore, it is necessary to consider not only positive outcomes but also negative outcomes from a cognitive perspective on time urgency. Furthermore, the need for research on how employee time-based personality traits moderate the impact on themselves has been raised. The empirical analysis revealed that there is a positive relationship between organizational time urgency climate, time pressure, and job stress. Additionally, the mediating effect of time pressure in the relationship between organizational time urgency climate and job stress was significant. Moreover, there was a positive moderating effect of employee' time urgency in the relationship between organizational time urgency climate, time pressure, and job stress.&#x0D; This study contributes to expanding leadership theories by examining the negative impact of the temporal characteristics of organizational climate on members. Previous research on time urgency has mainly focused on individual or leader-centric perspectives, but this study complements it by offering important theoretical implications on how the outcomes related to organizational time urgency climate can extend to individuals from an employee-centric perspective. Furthermore, this study addresses the limitations of previous literature on boundary conditions (employee' time urgency) and provides practical implications, such as creating an environment to mitigate the negative effects of organizational time urgency climate.

Disobeying the Leader: Creative Deviance as a Mechanism Between Psychological Ownership and Social Undermining

Many innovative products are attributable to employees disobeying the mandate of their supervisors to stop working on a creative idea, that is, creative deviance. Surprisingly, there has been a dearth of empirical research on this important construct, and the possible negative social outcomes of creative deviance remain unexplored. This research integrates psychological ownership theory and motivated information processing theory to theoretically delineate psychological ownership as an antecedent of creative deviance. We further explore social undermining as a negative outcome of creative deviance and investigate the leader–member exchange (LMX) as a boundary condition of the association between creative deviance and social undermining. In a series of three studies, we validate an existing scale for creative deviance, and utilize multiple methods to test our full moderated-mediation model. Findings suggest that creative deviance partially mediates the relationship between psychological ownership and experienced social undermining and LMX attenuates the relationship between creative deviance and experienced social undermining. Our research has important theoretical and practical implications as it explores the darker sides of creative deviance.

Does competitive action intensity influence team performance via leader bottom-line mentality? A social information processing perspective.

Leader bottom-line mentality (LBLM) exists when leaders solely focus on securing bottom-line outcomes to the exclusion of alternative considerations. Our research examines why leaders adopt LBLMs and the implications of this focused leadership strategy on team sales performance and pro-environmental behavior. Utilizing social information processing theory, we examine LBLM as a mediator and contend that competitive action intensity in the work environment provokes LBLM, which then signals to teams the importance of raising sales performance and reducing pro-environmental behavior. We also suggest that leader performance reward expectancy (i.e., perceptions that rewards are directly tied to high performance) serves as a first-stage moderator and team performance reward expectancy serves as a second-stage moderator, with higher (vs. lower) levels of each strengthening the indirect effects of competitive action intensity, through LBLM, onto team sales performance and pro-environmental behavior. Utilizing field data from a large pharmaceutical company (Study 1) as well as an experimental causal chain design (Studies 2a and 2b), we found support for our theoretical model.

The impact of public leadership on collaborative administration and public health delivery.

This research depicts the linkage of public leadership on public health delivery (PHD) and collaborative administration. The research is also focused to examine the effect of public leadership on public health delivery through the intervening variable of collaborative administration by using both social information processing theory and collaboration theory. This research is based on quantitative method. Data was collected from 464 public hospital administration in the context of Pakistan. This study evaluated data using SPSS, AMOS, and PROCESS Macro. Public leadership has a positive profound effect on public health delivery and collaborative administration, and that collaborative administration significantly promotes public health delivery. The outcomes also exposed that public leadership has substantial influence on public health delivery through intervening collaborative administration. Whilst public leadership demonstrated positive outcomes on public health delivery and collaborative administration, there is a need for more rigor studies on collaborative governance leadership, collaborative ethics and collaborative norms in the public health service.

Fuelling innovation with love: Unravelling the role of companionate love culture and Confucian work values in employees’ innovative behaviour

Purpose: Following social information processing (SIP) theory, this study enriches existing research on emotional culture and innovative behaviour by introducing the chain mediating role of perspective-taking and knowledge-sharing intentions and the moderating role of Confucian work values.Design/methodology/approach: We conducted a quantitative study using four-stage paired survey data. Data were collected from 392 employees and their corresponding supervisors in three Chinese manufacturing companies in November 2022. We chose these participants due to the significance of innovative behaviour in their roles. The surveys were anonymous and self-administered. We used SPSS20.2 and MPLUS 8.3 software to analyse the data and test our hypotheses.Findings/results: The data analysis results indicated that: (1) the companionate love culture had a positive effect on innovative behaviour, (2) perspective-taking and knowledge-sharing intentions mediated the positive impact of the companionate love culture on innovative behaviour, and (3) Confucian work values moderated the chain mediation path by weakening the positive impact of the companionate love culture on perspective-taking.Practical implications: To promote innovative behaviour in employees, a company could continuously manage the organisational companionate love culture.Originality/value: Drawing on the SIP theory, this paper developed a model clarifying how and when love can fuel innovation in the workplace. It’s interesting that employees with lower Confucian work values may benefit more from a companionate love culture, as they might need more external motivation to engage in perspective-taking and knowledge sharing.

TRANSFORMATION OF MEDIA JOURNALISM DURING COVID 19 IN INDONESIA

ABSTRACT&#x0D; During the COVID-19 pandemic, many media outlets have faced disruption. These disruptions are not only related to health but also to public life and the media industry as a whole. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people made the media the main source of information. The purpose of this research is to find out the transformation of media journalism during COVID-19 in Indonesia. This research uses social information processing theory, which describes how a person develops computer-mediated interpersonal and group communication (online) without non-verbal cues, as well as making it easier and more convenient. The research method uses qualitative methodology with a case study approach. In the atmosphere of the COVID-19 pandemic, where people are traumatized by the rapid and ubiquitous transmission of COVID-19 and social restrictions, communication using computers and smartphones mediated online is one of the right solutions. The conclusion of this research is that the production process of television journalism has changed.

Blockchain technology adoption and supply chain resilience: exploring the role of transformational supply chain leadership

PurposeAlthough blockchain technology holds significant promise in influencing supply chain resilience (SCR), its effectiveness depends on a variety of factors. However, given that blockchain adoption in SCR is still in its infancy, there is a lack of empirical research to reveal the critical success factors maximizing its efficacy. This study aims to apply an organizational information processing theory (OIPT) perspective to explore how transformational supply chain leadership (TSCL) can facilitate the deployment and connection of blockchain technology to meet the imperatives of enhancing SCR.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a two-wave survey method to gather data from 317 Chinese manufacturers to empirically examine the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe findings suggest that the adoption of blockchain technology enhances both the proactive and reactive dimensions of SCR, and these effects can be realized through the mediating role of TSCL. Furthermore, the positive effect of blockchain technology on TSCL is strengthened in the context of dysfunctional competition.Practical implicationsThese findings suggest that companies can only enhance the benefits of disruptive technologies, such as blockchain, by fully integrating them into the operational and supply chain processes.Originality/valueThis research offers novel insights into the specific processes of how blockchain technology can be used to enhance SCR. It also deepens our comprehension of how digital technology can be optimally harnessed within the framework of OIPT, thus providing a contribution to the literature on emerging technologies and SCR.

Emotional Face Processing in Autism Spectrum Condition: A Study of Attentional Orienting and Inhibitory Control.

A core feature of Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) is the presence of difficulties in social interactions. This can be explained by an atypical attentional processing of social information: individuals with ASC may show problems with orienting attention to socially relevant stimuli and/or inhibiting their attentional responses to irrelevant ones. To shed light on this issue, we examined attentional orienting and inhibitory control to emotional stimuli (angry, happy, and neutral faces).An antisaccade task (with both prosaccade and antisacade blocks) was applied to a final sample of 29 children with ASC and 27 children with typical development (TD).Whereas children with ASC committed more antisaccade errors when seeing angry faces than happy or neutral ones, TD children committed more antisaccade errors when encountering happy faces than neutral faces. Furthermore, latencies in the prosaccade and antisaccade blocks were longer in children with ASC and they were associated with the severity of ASC symptoms. Thus, children with ASC showed an impaired inhibitory control when angry faces were presented.This bias to negative high-arousal information is congruent with affective information-processing theories on ASC, suggesting that threatening stimuli induce an overwhelming response in ASC. Therapeutic strategies where train the shift attention to emotional stimuli (i.e. faces) may improve ASC symptomatology and their socials functioning.

The AIP model as a theoretical framework for the treatment of personality disorders with EMDR therapy.

Research has shown that the impact of traumatic events and circumstances on individuals is cumulative and potentially has a wide range of harmful consequences, including negative consequences on mental health. One such consequence is the development of a personality disorder, a persistent mental condition characterized by a pronounced pattern of difficulties in impulse control, emotional regulation, cognitive functions, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. A wide array of studies indicates that the personal history of individuals with a personality disorder is often marked by exposure to traumatic events or other types of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Because existing treatments for personality disorders are usually long and costly, it is essential to continue exploring alternative and complementary interventions. Nowadays, knowledge and clinical experience in regard to personality disorders have been gained in addressing ACEs by processing memories of these events through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. In this paper, we present a theoretical framework for this treatment approach, based on Shapiro's Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, describe its current empirical basis, and provide guidance on how to formulate a useful case conceptualization that can serve as a basis for the treatment of personality disorders with EMDR therapy. This approach is illustrated with a case example.

Focus on yourself: The impact of users' self-focus orientation on NPD ideas' attention allocation in online innovation communities

When users write up and post their new product development (NPD) ideas online, they differ in their self-focus orientation—meaning the extent to which they choose to focus on themselves in their posts, such as whether they include personal pronouns like “I” and “me.” However, the impact of this linguistic style choice on the attention allocated by company employees to users' NPD ideas is unknown. This study examines the role of users' self-focus orientation in shaping the NPD ideas' attention allocation of company employees in the context of online innovation communities. Drawing upon motivated information processing theory, we develop a theoretical model positing that online users' self-focus orientation influences the NPD ideas' attention allocation of company employees and that the effect of users' self-focus orientation on NPD ideas' attention allocation is contingent on various online community characteristics, including online community crowdedness and online community interaction. Analyzing 647,224 NPD ideas collected from one online innovation community, we show that users' self-focus orientation has a positive effect on NPD ideas' attention allocation. We also find that the positive effect of users' self-focus orientation on NPD ideas' attention allocation is made weaker when community crowdedness is high and that it is made stronger when community interaction is high. These results reveal two important underlying, context-specific boundary conditions. The study also challenges the predominant view in the social psychology literature regarding the negative impact of self-focus. Overall, this research sheds new light on how and when users' self-focus orientation in online innovation communities affects employees' attention allocation to NPD ideas beyond the impact of the actual content of the posted ideas. Additionally, we discuss how users can attract the attention of company employees so that the employees will focus on their NPD ideas, and we offer suggestions to community managers to realize the full potential of their online innovation communities.

Entrepreneurship by Ph.D. students: intentions, human capital and university support structures

PurposeDoctoral students are promising entrepreneurial actors in university-based ventures, which positively impact the external environment and create value for their universities. In this article, the authors extend current research on academic entrepreneurship by shedding light on the role of university support in the early stage of Ph.D. entrepreneurship. Based on social information processing theory, the authors posit that academic entrepreneurship results from the interplay between doctoral students' human capital and university-level support. A multilevel model is proposed and empirically tested to shed light on the cradle of doctoral students' entrepreneurship by explaining the variance of their entrepreneurial alertness and intentions.Design/methodology/approachA model is proposed that explains the combined effect of specific human capital and different forms of university support on doctoral students' cognitive transition from entrepreneurial alertness to intentions. The model was then tested through structural equation modeling (SEM) and multigroup analysis (MGA) on a sample of 187 doctoral students enrolled in Italian universities.FindingsThe SEM results reveal that doctoral students' entrepreneurial alertness is influenced by perceived educational support and human capital. The MGA demonstrates that those who perceive a higher level of support for concept and business development from universities are more likely to convert their alertness into intentions than those who perceive lower support.Originality/valueThe present paper brings to the stage doctoral students as an extremely promising entrepreneurial target. In doing so, it extends academic entrepreneurship studies by detailing how and when the different forms of university support influence their entrepreneurial decisions, along with individual dimensions.

Towards a comprehensive framework of social presence for online, hybrid, and blended learning

Social presence, which refers to the psychological phenomenon of perceiving other persons in technology mediated communication as “real” and with whom one can connect, has gained an increasing interest by teachers and researchers involved in designing online, hybrid, and blended learning environments, particularly group learning settings known as computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). While some scholars attribute social presence primarily to the physical attributes of communication media, others emphasize the importance of social contextual and individual factors. Despite considering these factors, they still cannot fully explain the varying degrees of social presence experienced across different communication and collaboration modes and modalities. Consequently, there is a need for a more comprehensive theoretical account on the antecedents of social presence. In this article we propose such an account that integrates the social information processing (SIP) theory, construal level theory (CLT), and telepresence theory into one social presence framework. In line with CLT, we propose that social presence is also influenced by the impressions (construals) we construct from other persons not only through the accumulation of messages over time but also through the psychological distance we feel to those persons, which may be imposed by features of the communication media or realities of the learning context. Further, in line with telepresence theory, we propose that social presence is influenced by the sense of being “present” in the remote physical or virtual place, as this is where other salient persons “are.” This comprehensive theoretical framework allows us to understand varying degrees of social presence while in (pseudo) real-time and asynchronous communication and collaboration using a variety of different communication media ranging from text-based (e.g., e-mail, instant text messaging) to immersive (e.g., 3D computer generated; a physical remote place).

Fenomena Hubungan Parasosial Penggemar dan Idol K-Pop dalam Penggunaan Aplikasi Weverse

The K-Wave phenomenon that swept the world is certainly still being felt today. Assisted by the development of social media that is getting bigger and bigger in demand because of its features that make distance more meaningless. So this research will examine the parasocial relationship between fans and K-Pop idol TREASURE on the Weverse application which is popular among K-Pop fans. The application is supported by various features that allow fans to exchange information and messages with idols and even other TREASURE fans. TREASURE often replies to its fans through Weverse randomly or for lucky fans. Fans finally feel an interaction when using the application even though only fan representatives are replied to by TREASURE members. Other fans also feel the interpersonal communication between themselves and their idols. This can be called a parasocial relationship, which is a one-way relationship felt by fans. Where this research aims to see, describe, and analyse how the phenomenon of parasocial relationships between TREASURE MAKERS in Samarinda and TREASURE in using the Weverse application. Using the classification of levels of parasocial relationships and Social Information Processing theory as supporting arguments when the research results are found. Then this research has a qualitative descriptive type by showing the research results that the phenomenon of parasocial relationships between TREASURE MAKER and TREASURE fans has passed all three levels, namely Entertainment Social Value, Intense Personal Feeling, and Borderline Pathological so that in theory the SIP informants in this study show an extraordinary feeling of closeness to their idols through the help of the Weverse application.
