Announcing the Publication of
Volume 3 Issue 3 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
(http://thci.aisnet.org)
We are excited to announce the appointment of Dr. Jinwoo Kim from Yonsei University in Korea as a Senior Editor of THCI, starting from September 2011. Dr. Kim is a prolific HCI scholar and has been a long time enthusiastic participant in AIS SIGHCI activities, involved in early panels, workshops, and sessions of SIGHCI. He graciously agreed to be an SE after several years of administrative duties and taking a one-year sabbatical leave last year. His research areas include co-design and collective innovation, co-experience, co-ownership in the Internet, online group creativity, and online pro-social behavior. His methodological expertise includes field and lab experiments, case studies, and qualitative research methods. I am sure we will all enjoy his personality, leadership and expertise again!
We are also excited for the publication of the 3rd issue of the 3rd volume. This regular issue has two research articles. Titles, authors and abstracts are listed below.
THCI is located within the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library (http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci). To increase awareness and readership, THCI is freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website,<http://aisel.aisnet.org/> including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS<http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal through these difficult economic times.

Paper #1: The Effect of Customer Service and Content Management on Online Retail Sales Performance: The Mediating Role of Customer Satisfaction
Anteneh Ayanso, Kevin Lertwachara, and Narongsak Thongpapanl
This paper analyzes the mediating role of customer satisfaction by studying the relationship between IT-enabled customer service and content management efforts and online sales performance. Using data on the top performing Web retailers in the U.S. based on their online annual sales, we show that the extent of retailers' efforts in online customer service and content management is positively linked to customer satisfaction, which in turn is positively related to the retailers' online sales performance. In addition to directly increasing the revenue, our results indicate that customer service and content management features can also indirectly improve the retailers' financial performance. Specifically, customer service management impacts the sales performance via the average ticket amount, while content management affects the sales via the repeat visit.
Paper #2: Social Networking Websites and Posting Personal Information: An Evaluation of Protection Motivation Theory
Kent Marett, Anna L. McNab, and Ranida B. Harris
The popularity of social networking websites among Internet users continues to grow, even though social networking remains a risk for users who do not participate with caution. Using protection motivation theory (PMT) as a theoretical lens to provide a research model, and by issuing a fear appeal to social network users about the potential threat to their privacy, this study identified perceptions and beliefs held by users that influence their behavioral responses to the imposed threats. A snowball sample survey measuring the variables conceptualized by PMT was completed by 522 social network users. A time-ordered hierarchical regression analysis of the responses showed that PMT provides explanations for both adaptive and maladaptive responses, particularly for the response of hopelessness. Implications and directions for future research in this area are offered.

* The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction
* User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types
* Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization
* Social media; social computing; virtual communities
* Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction
* User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains
* Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems
* Information systems usability engineering; universal usability
* The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
* Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units

* Gender and information technology
* The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction
