摘 要：
Cultivating persistent health behavior is a perennial issue that is of great interest to academics and practitioners. Health and fitness-related online platforms that embeds the use of mobile and wearable technologies and various behavioral change techniques to promote better health and wellbeing have proliferated in recent years. Despite the increasing prevalence, it remains unclear whether they are effective for shaping sustained health behaviors. The objective of this work is to understand the role of technology-enabled competition platforms in cultivating persistent health behavior. Drawing on social comparison and social network theories, this study develops a model to understand how different comparison processes, social relationship with comparison referents, and self-tracking systems affect persistent health behavior. We empirically test the model using longitudinal panel data collected from a popular online fitness platform. This study contributes to the extant literature by conceptualizing the role of technology-enabled competition platforms in promoting persistent behavior, and unveiling the role of self-tracking systems in promoting persistent health behavior. Practically, this study is expected to provide valuable insights to IT designers and consumer health IT developers on how to engage users and sustain long-term behavior.
