For this purpose, such factors as their working environment, role playing, job conflict and job burden were compared and analyzed according to the regions. The findings may be summed up as follows: 1. In terms of working environment, radiological technologists in the capital city were found to have the least stress(23.46), followed by those in metropolitan areas(24.53) and small- and medium-sized cities(24.85). There was a significant difference according to the regions as for the item 'worry about influence of radioactive contamination(genetic, decisive and plausible)(P<0.001). 2. As for role playing, radiological technologists in small-and medium-sized cities appeared to receive the highest stress(l8.25) followed by metropolitan areas(l7. 71) and the capital city(l6.69).

This study analyzed the impact of various factors on the use-diffusion of smart speakers. 300 survey responses of Chinese consumers were analyzed using structured models. The results show that both autonomy and adaptability had significant impacts on perceived usefulness and perceived easy of use. Multifunctionality and ability to cooperate affected perceived usefulness, while reactivity did not affected perceived usefulness or perceived easy of use. Anthropomorphism increased perceived enjoyment. Both perceived usefulness and perceived easy of use have been identified to improve the use-diffusion of smart speakers. Perceived enjoyment enhanced the variety of use. We expect these results help understand the factors that need to be considered for the design or marketing communication of smart products.
