Today, augmented reality has become one of the most critical technologies in the tourism industry. However, the intention to accept and use tourism augmented reality programs depends on various factors that can be analyzed using the integrated technology acceptance and use theory. On the other hand, each of these factors can influence the hedonic motivation of people to use these programs. This study aimed to examine how the Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and hedonic motivation affect the use of mobile augmented reality tourism apps in Iran. The statistical population of the current research consists of the users of tourism augmented reality programs. 201 users were selected as sample. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. Structural equation model was used to analyze the data. The research results showed that four factors (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions) positively and significantly affect the hedonic motivation to use tourism augmented reality apps. Furthermore, research findings have shown that all four factors of the Technology Acceptance Model positively impact the intention to use augmented reality applications on mobile phones. Also, the research has shown that hedonic motivation positively and significantly affects the intention to use tourism augmented reality apps on mobile phones. Finally, the research findings have shown that hedonic motivation plays a crucial role in mediating between the different dimensions of UTAUT and the intention to use augmented reality applications.

Digital technology, the main driver of the fourth industrial revolution, has profoundly transformed the world's economic landscape. Digital technologies make available these services to people who do not have access to them. This paper aims to identify the financial issues created in the digital economy and based on cases taken from digital and knowledge-based companies, it raises the importance of the role of base volume in stock liquidity. It evaluates the role of the base volume in the liquidity of digital and knowledge-based companies' stocks in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The population is newcomers to digital and knowledge-based companies.To provide the possibility of scientific evaluation of the empirical implications of applying the base volume in daily market practice, for the first time a quantitative estimate of the base volume implied by the economic model has been made retrospectively available within the rules designed by the market regulator via a MATLAB software programming.Using the GMM method, the effects of the estimated base volume, percentage of free-floating share, securities turnover, and the ratio of transaction volume to base volume on Amihud index were studied during 2014-2019. The findings indicate that the application of base volume on the liquidity of digital and knowledge-based companies has had a negative effect on the calculation of the final price and on the liquidity of knowledge-based companies. Also, the results of using the machine learning method (decision tree) show the importance coefficient of 32.6% for the base volume in the Amihud index of knowledge-based companies.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to extend the current understanding of customer engagement by examining the impact of relationship bonding and relationship quality on customer engagement in value creation for online taxis.Method: The type of research is based on to validate the hypotheses proposed in this research, which is a quantitative approach. Customer engagement has become an important metric for measuring the quality of relationships between brands and their customers. Despite this, there has been limited research into how relationship bonds affect the effectiveness of building such a relationship in online taxi services. In this research, a survey was deployed using the convenience method among 600 users of online transportation services in the city of Urmia, Iran to test the theoretical model. Structural equation modelling in software Amos 23 were used in this study to test the research hypotheses. Findings: The findings showed that relationship bonding (financial, social, and structural) positively affects the quality of online relationships. Moreover, it was found that the quality of online relationships had a positive impact on all four aspects of customer engagement value (lifetime value, influence value, customer knowledge value, and customer referral value).Conclusion: The research contributes to the existing literature on online taxi services by providing novel data that showcases the enhancement of customer engagement via relationship bonds and online relationship quality. Online taxi services have the capacity to implement open innovation frameworks, which facilitate heightened user interaction, the collection of creative concepts, and their seamless integration into operational processes. In this context, it is important to consider the provision of incentives to consumers who have effectively generated novel ideas as a means to enhance the breadth and depth of ideation.

Technological development plays a key role in the development, continuity and survival of an organization and through this advancement, organizations continue to develop and get upgraded. Therefore, instruction of digital technology to the staff has an essential role in the efficiency of organizations. Despite the significance of all the other relevant components in an organization, digital education and training plays a key role in the development of organizations. The more knowledgeable, creative and dynamic the staff within an organization are, the higher will be its power and dynamism, hence assuring the sustainable development of the organization. In this article, an attempt has been made to show the effects of digital technology training on organizational development in order to achieve practical results. In fact, As organizations and the organizational changes become more complex, employees and especially managers must use digital training opportunities to equip themselves with new capabilities, attitudes and knowledge to play active roles in the organization’s creative decision-making processes. Obviously, in today's fast changing industrial world, traditional training is not enough to meet the training needs of employees and manage complex organizations tasks. Therefore, newer and more appropriate models and methods such as digital education and learning should be used to train transformative, entrepreneurial and creative employees and managers.
