Examining Consumers’ Usage Intention of Contactless Payment Systems

2019

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a conceptual model that combines the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) with a consumer brand engagement (CBE) model to predict consumers’ usage intentions toward contactless payment systems in a developed country. Design/methodology/approach The authors cooperated with a contactless payment service provider in Finland and reached out to 22,000 customers, resulting in 1,165 usable responses. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The study shows that the UTAUT2 and the CBE model together explain approximately 70 percent of the variance in usage intention. Of the…

Antecedents and consequences of perceived investment value

2014

To gain a more comprehensive view to non-institutional investment behavior, this study develops and tests a set of hypotheses linking self-congruence, risk profile and investment experience with perceived investment value (PIV). In addition, the study tests direct and indirect effects of PIV on positive word-of-mouth. The hypotheses are tested on data from 440 private investors. The findings reveal that 1) self-congruence and risk profile are positively associated with five out of six of the PIV dimensions, 2) the relationship between PIV and word-of-mouth are more complex than is generally thought, and 3) user experience moderates four out of the twelve hypothesized paths. The study contri…

The Path from Ethical Organisational Culture to Employee Commitment : Mediating Roles of Value Congruence and Work Engagement

2016

Following the Job Demands-Resources model’s motivational process, this study investigates the role of person-organisation fit and work engagement as mediating processes between ethical culture and employee commitment, where ethical culture is seen as an organisational resource. It was expected that the stronger the ethical values and practices are experienced to be, the more compatible employees feel with the organisation. A good person-organisation fit was further hypothesised to act as a personal job resource for the employees, who would consequently experience higher work engagement leading to stronger affective commitment and less turnover intentions. The study used questionnaire data g…

Moreover, the dissertation analyzes the factors that create and reduce third sector employee well-being. Based on Statistic Finland’s …

2020

Ce séminaire a eu lieu en visioconférence; International audience; Dans la littérature, les chercheurs mettent souvent en exergue un impact positif et significatif de l’éducation à l’entrepreneuriat sur la volonté de créer de même que sur la concrétisation de ce projet à terme. Si des programmes de formations ont émergé un peu partout sur le territoire burkinabé, notamment dans certains établissements d'enseignements supérieurs, il n’existe cependant aucune étude à notre connaissance qui a examiné leur impact sur l’intention d’entreprendre. Cette étude propose ainsi d’analyser l’influence de l’éducation à l’entrepreneuriat – le fait de participer à une formation en entrepreneuriat - sur le …
