# Intent to Adopt Location Sharing for Logging Safety Applications
## 3 Results
### TPB Assessment  
Figure 3 shows survey responses for attitude-based questions, pertaining to the likelihood and value of the seven potential outcomes to using PLDs on logging operations. More than half of participants thought that each of the outcomes was likely (Table 4, Section C). The greatest consensus for any one outcome was for finding injured coworkers faster, which 54.9% of loggers deemed \"very likely\" to occur and 66.8% valued as \"very good\" (Table 4, Section D). Other \"very good\" outcomes included improving overall workplace safety (44.7%), knowing when coworkers might need help (56.6%), and knowing when workers are in safe or unsafe areas (42.0%). Positive outcome responses had high internal consistency, with [PERSON]'s alphas of 0.86 (for likelihood) and 0.85 (for value), suggesting that all four items measured the same underlying concept of improved occupational safety. Loggers were mostly \"unsure\" about the other three outcomes: developing a dependence on the technology (39.1%), \begin{table}

Table 3: Survey responses for previous location sharing (LS) use, with sample size (_n_) indicated in parentheses. Answer categories chosen by 50% or more of participants are highlighted in grey. causing distraction from other work activities (32.0%), and causing workers to feel like they are being watched or monitored (38.5%) (Table 4, Section D). Although about 20-30% of participants considered these \"somewhat bad\", some indicated benefits to technology dependence (21.1% \"somewhat good\") and workers feeling monitored (15.2% \"somewhat good\"). This trend could indicate that loggers do not prioritize concerns uniformly. Whereas some may perceive technological dependence as a drawback, others may consider it an advantage compensating for human error. Valuation of workers feeling monitored may also vary by individual, based on beliefs about expectation of privacy at work. The mean total attitude score, accounting for both likelihood and value of all outcomes, was 6 on a scale of -28 to 28, with a standard deviation of 8 (\(n=248\)). This score represents an overall (weakly) positive attitude toward using PLDs on logging operations.
