作者:

Highlights:

• Collectivists put more weight on the perceived ease of use than individualists do.

• High power distance has a greater positive relationship for subjective norms-behavioral intention than in low power distance.

• Physicians consider KMSs, whether they belong to high or low uncertainty avoidance.

• Physicians have stronger motivation to adopt KMSs in a low-context culture.
