Summary: The rapid popularity of live streaming has led to the emergence of a new business model known as live streaming commerce. However, limited knowledge exists on impulse buying in this context. Drawing on social presence theory and cognitive-affective framework, this study proposes a theoretical framework to examine how live streaming influences consumers' urge to buy impulsively. Findings from an online survey with 267 valid responses indicate that the social presence of the live streamer, other viewers, and the product positively influence affective intensity. Additionally, the social presence of other viewers and the product negatively influence perceived risk. The study also finds that the urge to buy impulsively in live streaming commerce is driven by affective state rather than cognitive state. These findings provide insights into the psychological mechanism of consumers' impulse buying in live streaming commerce and offer suggestions to online retailers to enhance product sales.

Summary: The study identified 139 research studies investigating the effects of occupational exoskeletons on users, finding that device validation was mainly conducted through controlled tasks and collecting muscle activity and biomechanical data. As the concept of exoskeletons evolves, assessment tasks become more applied and experimental designs more representative, but also involve a trade-off between experimental control and user experience data.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of online gaming motivations on identity development, and emphasizes the importance of consumption value on gamers' continuance intentions. The findings suggest that self-expressiveness and self-efficacy have positive influences on continued intentions to play games, while perceived enjoyment and perceived usefulness also play significant roles. Additionally, the study highlights the influence of perceived risk on the impact of these factors.

Summary: This paper analyzes the evolution of teleworkers' technostress over time, as well as its effects on their work-related well-being. The study reveals that work-home conflict and work overload are two major stressors that lead to strain and decrease satisfaction with telework and perceived job performance. Additionally, teleworkers also experience enduring technostress, with stressors generating strain at different time points and previous strain influencing future stressors.

Summary: Contemporary digital technologies have made it easier for users to engage in game-related practices, including producing and consuming content for free. Previous research has mainly focused on in-game factors in consumer interactions, but the intentions to play the game and make in-game purchases are also influenced by external factors like game streams and game-centered communities. The growth of competitive gaming, known as esports, offers a new avenue for consumer engagement. This research investigates the potential of esports in understanding players' intentions to play and spend money on games, with the relationship between esports spectating motivations and game consumption being particularly strong.

Summary: This study proposes a method for quantifying the visual and cognitive distraction potential of augmented reality head-up displays (AR HUDs). The method evaluates driver gaze behavior, situation awareness, confidence, and workload. The results show that AR interfaces can improve driver awareness of pedestrians but should be designed to minimize distractions to other critical road elements.

Summary: The occurrence of occupational accidents and injuries is more common in developing countries, especially in India, than in developed countries. This study identifies, analyzes and evaluates the faulty behavior risks (FBRs) that trigger these accidents and injuries and proposes an integrated approach for assessing these risks. The findings highlight the absence of continuous monitoring, defective equipment and maintenance, cognitive bias, proper signage, and adverse ambient working conditions as the most critical risk factors. The study provides implications for industrial management to mitigate occupational accidents and injuries.

Summary: The changing nature of work and society has increased the demand for systems Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) due to complex global challenges. However, there are longstanding issues preventing systems HFE from realizing its full impact, including a research-practice gap, lack of reliability and validity evidence, and shortage of behavior prediction methods. The perspectives of multiple co-authors in this article reveal a consensus on the existence and challenges of these issues, emphasizing the need for various solutions. The findings are synthesized to form an agenda for the discipline.

Summary: This study provides novel insights into the deployment of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) through the analysis of platoon strategy. The research finds that with increasing market penetration rate (MPR) of CAVs, road capacity increases and traffic oscillation reduces. However, the collision risk and severity of traffic conflicts also increase.

Summary: This meta-analysis reviews the design features of interface, controller, and appearance in robots and summarizes their effects on successful human-robot interaction. The features of the interface and controller have an impact on task performance and satisfaction, while appearance does not. Adaptability affects cooperation and acceptance, while autonomy affects mental workload.

Summary: This study investigates and compares the continuance intention of business school students and faculty in India and Italy after transitioning to digital classrooms due to COVID-19, finding that perceived usefulness, satisfaction, and task-technology fit significantly impact continuance intentions. Italian students are more driven by task-technology fit, while Indian students focus on technology experience; Italian faculty prioritize fit between digital classroom technology and tasks, while Indian faculty rely more on perceived usefulness of technology. The relationship between task-technology fit and continuance intention is weaker for faculty compared to students in both countries.
