Extending technology acceptance model to the E-recruitment context in Iran

Using a sample of 332 job applicants in Iran, this study integrates Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and signaling theory to explain factors influencing applicants\u27 behavioral intentions to apply for jobs online. Of the two main constructs of TAM, perceived usefulness was found to have a significant impact on applicants\u27 behavioral intentions, while perceived ease of use was not. Based on the signaling theory, impression of the organizational website appeared to create interests in organization as a potential employer; hence, prompt applicants to apply for jobs. These results extend our understanding of the online recruitment in different context and provide further insights with regard to possible effects of website features on applicants\u27 attractions toward organizations operating in Iran

Reflections on Long-Term Dental Outreach: Insights From Stakeholders in Rural Australia

Regional Australians experience poorer oral health compared to urban populations, with higher rates of tooth decay and gum disease. The National Oral Health Plan 2015–2024 addresses these challenges through dental outreach programs in isolated areas. While studies have clinical outcomes, the stakeholders’ experiences remain understudied. As such, this study aimed to explore stakeholders’ experiences of a 17-year-long-term annual dental outreach program in a regional Australian community. A total of 35 interviews were conducted. Findings from the thematic analysis showed that this outreach has improved the community's oral health outcomes and overall well-being. There were general sentiments about the project's positive impact beyond oral health, including boosting community morale and strengthening partnerships with local practitioners. Volunteers gained new perspectives that enhanced their personal and professional growth. Findings also suggested the need for interventions directed at preventative care and integrating other health screening and promotion activities, aiming to optimise outreach opportunities to address health disparities in resource-constrained areas
