Title
The Influence Of Privacy Control Options On The Evaluation And User Acceptance Of Mobile Applications For Volunteers In Crisis Situations
Abstract
Mobile technologies offer new opportunities for the creation and development of systems for crisis communication and management. Vital to the success of using smartphone-based technology for volunteers is to determine whether privacy issues affect user participation. Thus, an online experiment (N = 217) addressing volunteers or people interested in volunteering as well as people with medical qualifications was conducted to investigate the influence of privacy-related data control options on user acceptance of a smartphone-based system to facilitate volunteer engagement in crisis situations. Building on agency models and control theories in the context of information privacy, the results show that higher control options led to a more positive evaluation of the app, which was mediated by perceived privacy concerns. Among people with a high career motivation, higher control also led to a higher willingness to actively participate as volunteer in the system.
