Influential Characteristics of Enterprise Information System User Interfaces

Industry 4.0-based enterprise information system for P2P lending

Purpose

This study aims to deliberate and illustrate the overall peer-to-peer (P2P) business process, user requirements and design considerations under Industry 4.0 based on enterprise information system for P2P lending.

Design/methodology/approach

Exploratory approach with a systematic literature review and content analysis method.

Findings

P2P lending uses different credit audition methods and relies on information available in the system and the decision model. So IT techniques, for example, big data analysis and data mining, on credit audition are key points in P2P lending but the application of Industry 4.0 to the P2P lending landscape can yield several new benefits with a well-designed EIS, which is critical to service various stakeholders.

Research limitations/implications

This study is exploratory in nature and may need more testing on an empirical basis before drawing generalizations. Implications of research included in this area are that it poses good challenges to researchers from different disciplines such as economics, business management and information, communication and technology.

Originality/value

Deliberations of business process for P2P lending via enterprise information system under Industry 4.0 in the African context is of value as these emerging economies adopt new systems and processes to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0.

Study of the factors influencing the use of MyData platform based on personal health record data sharing system

Background

The application of telemedicine and electronic health (eHealth) technology has grown in importance during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a new approach in personal data management and processing MyData, has emerged. Data portability and informational self-determination are fundamental concepts of MyData. This study analysed the factors that influence acceptance of the MyData platform, which, reflects the right to self-determine personal data.

Methods

The study involved participants having experience using the MyData platform, and the key factors of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology were used in the research model (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitation condition and behavioural intention to use). The questionnaire comprided 27 items, and system usage log data were used to confirm that behavioural intention to use affected actual use behaviour through structural equation modeling.

Results

In total, 1153 participants completed the survey. The goodness of fit in the structural equation model indices indicates that the data fit the research model well. Performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions had direct effects on behavioural intention to use. We used system usage log data to confirm that behavioural intention to use positively affected actual use behaviour. The impact of the main factors in the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology was not moderated by age or gender, except for performance expectancy.

Conclusions

This study is the first to examine the factors influencing the use of the MyData platform based on the personal health record data sharing system in Korea. In addition, the study confirmed the use behaviour of the MyData platform utilising the system’s actual usage log for each function and analysing the effect of the intention of use on actual use. Our study serves as a significant foundation for the acceptance of data portability and sharing concepts. It also lays the foundation for expanding the data economy and ecosystem in the pandemic era.

Identification and Classification of Usability Problems in a Nursing Information System: A Heuristic Evaluation

Nursing information system is a system that nurses are required to use in order to perform their daily activities. Poor user interface design of nursing information system can cause problems in nurses' interaction with the system. This research aimed to evaluate the usability of nursing information system. During this study, five evaluators examined the nursing information system with the heuristic evaluation method and by using the checklist of Nielsen usability principles. Then, the identified problems were categorized into 10 Nielsen usability principles, and the severity of the problems was determined. They also attributed each problem to one of usability attributes. A total of 104 unique problems were identified. Most of the problems were related to the principle of "consistency and standards." More than a third of the identified problems were classed as major and catastrophe, with the highest severity in the average problems of "help and documentation" and "error prevention." Most of the identified problems were attributed to effectiveness and satisfaction. Because a significant number of identified usability problems in nursing information system were major and catastrophe and were attributed to effectiveness and satisfaction, being able to remedy the problems could improve nurses' interaction with the system user interface and increase satisfaction and effectiveness of nurses.
