TLDR
This study investigates the impact of an IS-enabled social normative feedback intervention on the intrinsic motivation of participants of an e-bike commuting competition and shows a negative effect of the intervention on participants’ intrinsic motivation, thus challenging long-term benefits of the measure.Abstract:
The shaping of sustainable future transportation systems is posing serious challenges for policy-makers today and massive investments are made into infrastructures and travel demand management. Meanwhile, Green IS research is addressing the potential of information systems as high-scale, low-cost means of influencing human actions and has successfully been applying psychological theories. However, research is still in its early stages and while positive short-term effects are relatively well understood, little is known about the long-term effects of such measures. This study, investigates the impact of an IS-enabled social normative feedback intervention on the intrinsic motivation of participants of an e-bike commuting competition. The results of a four-month field study show a negative effect of the intervention on participants’ intrinsic motivation, thus challenging long-term benefits of the measure. Additionally, our findings lend support to the reasoning of Cognitive Evaluation Theory that a dissatisfaction of participants’ need for autonomy may underlie this effect.read more

Commuting by Bicycle:An Overview of the Literature
TL;DR: This article conducted a survey of the current literature in order to identify the determinants for com-muting by bicycle and found many determinants, not all of which are addressed by conventional mode choice studies and models, which suggests that predicting and influencing bicycle use needs to be grounded in other kinds of knowledge than those currently available for motorized forms of transport.

Persuasion: an analysis and common frame of reference for IS research
TL;DR: A common frame of reference is developed to help IS researchers to conceptualize persuasion and conceptually differentiate it from related concepts and provide suggestions to guide future IS research into persuasion and behavior change.

Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and User
TL;DR: Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and user acceptance of information technology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and validated new scales for two specific variables, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are hypothesized to be fundamental determinants of user acceptance.

Self-determination theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development, and well-being.
Richard M. Ryan,Edward L. Deci +1 more
TL;DR: Research guided by self-determination theory has focused on the social-contextual conditions that facilitate versus forestall the natural processes of self-motivation and healthy psychological development, leading to the postulate of three innate psychological needs--competence, autonomy, and relatedness.

User acceptance of information technology: toward a unified view
TL;DR: The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as mentioned in this paper is a unified model that integrates elements across the eight models, and empirically validate the unified model.
