Abstract

A total of 324 questionnaires were collected from across the country to examine the mediating role of information asymmetry between perceived health information quality (PIQ) and evaluations of physicians’ enthusiasm, competence, and ethics, as well as the moderating role of the health information pathway (IP). The results of the study showed that: 1) perceived health information quality positively affects doctors’ enthusiasm, competence, and ethical evaluations; 2) information asymmetry mediates the relationship between perceived information quality and doctors’ enthusiasm, competence, and ethical evaluations-perceived information quality negatively affects information asymmetry, and information asymmetry negatively affects doctors’ enthusiasm, competence, and ethical evaluations; and 3) the information pathway has a moderating role, taking the official website of administrative authorities or medical institutions + health community/health APP (OW+C/A) as a reference, the social media (SM)pathway positively moderates the effect of perceived information quality on information asymmetry, and finally discusses the theoretical significance and practical value of the results.
