Identifying the combinations of motivations and emotions for creating satisfied users in SNSs: An fsQCA approach

Social Networking Sites (SNSs) play an important role in our daily lives and the number of their users increases regularly. To understand how users can be satisfied in the complex digital environment of SNSs, this study examines how motivations and emotions combine with each other to explain high satisfaction. Users’ motivations comprise four attributes, entertainment, information, social-psychological, and convenience. Emotions are divided into their two main categories, that is positive and negative emotions. We draw on complexity and configuration theories, present a conceptual model along with propositions and perform a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Through an empirically study with 582 SNSs users, we present eight combinations (configurations) of motivations and emotions that lead to high satisfaction, which highlight the role of high convenience, followed by entertainment and information motivations in being satisfied with SNSs. High satisfaction can be achieved both when positive and negative emotions are high and low, depending on how they combine users’ motivations. None of the factors are indispensable to explain high satisfaction on their own, instead they are insufficient but necessary parts of the causal combinations that explain high satisfaction. This study contributes in SNSs literature by extending current knowledge on how motivations and emotions combine to increase satisfaction, and by identifying specific patterns of users for whom these factors are important and influence greatly their satisfaction.     

Public Library Services for Veterans: Selected Brief Case Studies

Public libraries across the country design and deliver programs for military veterans and their families, often collaborating with other organizations and agencies. The examples were assembled from both general and specialized interviews with librarians, and literature and Internet searches, with summaries of programs assembled and written by multiple researchers. The specific limitations on the listing in this article are clearly outlined in the first section. Overall, however, the article provides a good introductory overview of what’s going on in veteran’s programs and services in America’s public libraries in over seventy libraries in forty states. We hope this list of what public libraries have organized or are doing will supply other public librarians with ideas on how to provide new services or enhance their existing ones.

海南岛东部滨海砂矿废弃地植被恢复效应的比较研究

海南岛东部海岸钛锆砂矿废弃地采用木麻黄进行植被恢复,通过对有残余西瓜藤蔓和稀土肥料处理的木麻黄林地（处理林地）与没有任何处理的木麻黄林地（对照林地）进行比较研究.结果显示：1）处理林地林木的树高、基径、胸径均显著大于对照林地;2）处理林地植物-土壤系统中各分室的养分元素N、P、K含量均大于对照林地对应值;3）两个林地中养分元素的分布格局均为：叶〉粗枝〉根〉土;4）两个林地植物-土壤系统各分室的养分元素有着相似的季节变化.处理林地的植被恢复优于对照林地.

基于轴辐式网络的长江集装箱航运枢纽港选择

为解决目前长江集装箱运输组织模式不符合"大船配大线,小船配小线"的问题,通过调查长江集装箱运输现状,综合考虑航线、船型、运量和服务频率等因素,提出集装箱运输轴辐式网络模型。模型以总成本最小为目标,最终选取武汉港为枢纽港,即以武汉港—上海洋山港为轴,其他各港口到武汉港为辐。研究结果表明,较传统运输组织方式而言,新的轴辐式网络运输组织方式广义总成本(包括运输成本和时间成本)节约15%,具有良好的经济效益。
