Importance and Demonstration
- Authors: Srimannarayana M.
  Pages: 1 - 17
  Abstract: The study aims at assessing the importance of training and development competencies of training and development professionals and their demonstration of the same while performing their roles and responsibilities, as well as to identify the gaps between the importance and the demonstration. The study adopted the conceptual framework from the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) model, which was created by Arneson, Ruthwell and Naughton (2013). 248 training and development professionals were the sample of the study for the rating of importance and another 248 line professionals, who were familiar with the training and development professionals’ functioning, were the sample of the study for the demonstration rating. Based on the data collected from the sampled professionals and its analysis, the study concludes that overall, technology literacy, performance improvement, evaluating learning impact, managing learning programs, coaching, knowledge management and change management are the areas of competencies in which training and development professionals need to enhance their proficiency.

- Authors: Tung Siaw Yee, Lim Chui Seong, Wong Siew Chin
  Pages: 18 - 35
  Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence the intention of patients to adopt mobile health apps. The factors selected to conduct this study are perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and subjective norm. The proposed research model was reviewed and validated using the PLS-SEM with a sample of 300 respondents. The results of this study showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and subjective norm could positively affect the patient's intention to use the mobile health app. The results of this study have made it possible to fill the research gap and provide adequate statistical support to the future expansion of research in the field of mobile health app. For practical reasons, these results have also provided researchers, app developers and healthcare providers with valuable information on how to evaluate and develop effective mobile health apps from the users’ perspective.
