The Influence of Different Types of Web Page Design on Attitude and Visit Intention of Browsers with Different Information Processing Styles

Lin, Yu-Shan 20 June 2007 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of different types of web page design on browsers' attitudes, figure out if the information processing styles play the moderating roles, and examine the relationship between attitude towards the web page and visit intention. Three web pages are designed specially for this research. They are created in different types, words only, pictures only, and combination of words and pictures. Respondents are undergraduate students, and answer questionnaires online. SPSS 14 is used to perform statistical analyses. Principal findings are summarized as follows. First, there is no significant difference between high and low NFC individuals about attitude towards the web page when the tourism web page presents in words (all-verbal) design. However, when the web page is only composed of pictures without any written description, NFC individuals, without respect to high or low NFC, show much lower level of attitude towards the web page and no differences appear between them. Second, the statistical analysis shows a higher level of attitude towards the web page is associated to high PFA individuals, compared with low PFA individuals, when the tourism web page presents in pictures (all-visual) design. When the tourism web page presents in words design, high and low PFA individuals show much lower level of attitude towards the web page and no differences appear between them. Third, we find that individuals with high NFC and high PFA are significantly different from the other groups when the tourism web page presents in combination (words and pictures) design. They show higher level of attitude towards the web page, compared with the other processor groups. Lastly, result shows that there is a positive correlation between attitude towards the web page and visit intention. Attitude towards the web page has a significant impact on visit intention, namely, higher level of Awp, then higher level of VI.

Chang, Kuei-Jung 24 July 2007 (has links)
Basically, to evaluate the operational performances of online auction is according to seller¡¦s transaction and investment in the auction website. Thus, how to maintain good relationship with the existing seller switching and attract new seller is the most attention and major care for auction service provider. However, there were few prior researches focused on the topic of online auction switching and examined from real case. In this study, we tried to develop a measuring model and explore the factors that relate to auction seller¡¦s switching. In July 2006, Yahoo! Kimo auction, the largest auction website in Taiwan, announced a new fee scheme which would charge 3 percent transaction handling fee on its sellers from Aug. 10. Many users expressed objection to the new charge scheme. During the same period, Ruten, a new joint venture auction website that combined eBay and Taiwanese portal operator PChome is nearly ready and makes some responding strategic approaches to attract new user. Many sellers of Yahoo! Kimo auction thought to switch auction provider. Base on the background, the study aim to explore auction seller¡¦s switching behavior through switching costs, including procedure costs, financial costs, and relational costs. Moreover, we examined how website quality, fee, anti-lock-in, and anti-switching affect switching intention and behavior. A total of 292 usable questionnaires were gathered through online surveys from auction discussion board and BBS. The data were analyzed by partial least squares (PLS) to test the hypotheses. We find that switching costs, website quality, fee have negative effect on seller¡¦s switching intention. Anti-lock-in and anti-switching have moderating effect in the model. According to the finding, we provide useful guidance for auction seller and auction service provider.

The Influence of Perceived Organizational Support on Employees' Work Attitudes

Lee, Chia-Yi 26 December 2000 (has links)
Abstract Due to the change of the employment, emphasizing on employees¡¦ commitment to the organization is no more the critical determinant of whether the employees will devote themselves to the organization. From 1980s, there were scholars who started to argue that employees will form global beliefs concerning the extent to which the organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being, and called this concept perceived organizational support (POS). In contrast to organizational commitment, perceived organizational support emphasizes on employers¡¦ commitment to the employees and has been proved to have strong relations to many of employees¡¦ work attitudes and behaviors. In this study, the writer uses two different kinds of scorings as the indicators to evaluate the extent of employees¡¦ POS. The findings are as followed: 1. POS is positively related to employees¡¦ affective commitment, continuance commitment, job satisfaction and performance, but negatively related to the intention to quit. 2. No matter using which kind of scorings, within all work attitudes and behaviors we are interested, POS is most related to affective commitment and then job satisfaction. 3. POS has the strongest influence on affective commitment and job satisfaction, and the weakest one on work performance. 4. Comparing to other POS factors, leadership and self-achievement have the most global influences on employees¡¦ work attitudes and behaviors. 5. In whole, employees¡¦ evaluations of organizational practices of which they really experience are more related to their work attitudes and behaviors than the discrepancy between what they expect and the actual situations. 6. When combining with individual¡¦s expectation, the influence of some POS factors will become salience, although it may not have such strong influence when concerning the evaluations of organizational practices along. 7. Different ways of discrepancy between individual¡¦s expectations and the actual situations will cause different influences on employees¡¦ work attitudes and behaviors indeed.

A Study of the Relationships between Career Orientation, Achievement Motivation, Job Satisfaction and Intention to Stay¡GUsing Big CPA Firms as an Example

Wen, Kun-Ta 27 June 2002 (has links)
People are always the most precious assets and very hard to be replaced in the enterprises. Therefore, how to retain talented and experienced auditors and keep them in accounting firms is a very important issue that every accounting firm has to face. In this study, we want to understand: (1) If different auditors in accounting firms have influence on career orientation, achievement motivation, job satisfaction and their intention to stay. (2) Whether the career orientation, achievement motivation and job satisfaction of auditors in accounting firms affect their intention to stay. (3) To use job satisfaction as a mediator, analyze if achievement motivation passes through job satisfaction and then affects auditor¡¦s intention to stay. The results show that auditors with higher degrees of achievement motivation have higher degrees of job satisfaction. And if auditors with higher degrees of job satisfaction, their intentions to stay in accounting firms will also be stronger. Therefore, if accounting firms want to keep auditors to stay in accounting firms, first of all, they should recruit employees with higher degrees of achievement motivation. Then, they should try to increase auditors¡¦ degrees of job satisfaction. If these things can be done, auditors¡¦ intention to stay in accounting firms will be higher. If accounting firms can completely understand this point and try to raise auditors¡¦ welfares and improve their working environments, this study believes that auditors are willing to stay in the accounting firms and try their best to do their jobs.
