Teachers’ intention to use educational video games: The moderating role of gender and age
2018
Educational video games represent an educational change that challenges teachers and managers of Higher Education institutions in several ways including their attitude formation and behavioural intention. Using a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach a research model is developed to predict teachers’ behavioural intention to use educational video games in their courses. The research model is tested via structural equation modelling (SEM) on a sample of 312 Higher Education teachers. Main results suggest that perceived usefulness influences in a direct and positive way teachers’ behavioural intention while perceived ease of use indirectly influences intention through perceived usefulnes…
The Role of Perceived Relevance and Attention in Teachers’ Attitude and Intention to Use Educational Video Games
2017
Educational video games (EVGs) are becoming a trending topic in education as a new teaching methodology which can help teachers to increase students’ attention and engagement during the learning process. Nevertheless, despite an increasing academic interest in EVGs little research has been devoted to delve into teacher’s beliefs affecting their attitude towards EVGs and how these beliefs also affect their intention to use EVGs in their courses. Using Keller’s ARCS model as a theoretical framework, the role of perceived relevance and attention in teachers’ attitude and intention to use EVGs is analyzed. To do so a research model is tested using a sample of 312 Higher Education teachers via s…
INVESTIGATING OLDER ADULTS’ INTENTION TO USE SMARTPHONES WITH A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING APPROACH
2018
Although the uptake of smartphones amongst older adults has recently taken off, the proportion of feature phone users in this population group is still prevailing. Thus, drawing on the senior technology acceptance model (STAM) and the diffusion of innovation theory (DIT) this study aimed to investigate what personal and contextual factors affect the adoption of smartphones among older adults. A telephone survey on a nation-wide representative sample of older adults aged 55+ (n = 1581) was conducted, measuring eight STAM and DIT factors (e.g., perceived usefulness, resistance to change, mobile phone anxiety) of behavioral intention to use smartphones. Using confirmatory factor analysis and s…
Factors influencing tourists’ intention to use COVID-19 contact tracing app
2020
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to develop and test a model that explores the antecedents of tourists’ acceptance of COVID-19 contact tracing app (CTA). Data was obtained from a crowdsourcing platform (Pollfish), in which 400 respondents answered the questionnaire. We used SmartPLS to analyse the data. Results reveal that trust and structural assurance have the strongest relationship. Furthermore, the relationship between trust and destination safety was positive. Finally, self-efficacy moderated the relationship between trust and intention, implying that trust was stronger for tourists who have higher levels of self-efficacy. Recommendations are offered.
Consumption values and mobile banking services : understanding the urban-rural dichotomy in a developing economy
2021
PurposeThis study develops a theoretical model of consumption values regarding the technology adoption of mobile banking (m-banking) services, with the financial service sector as the empirical context. This study aims to evaluate whether consumption values influence trust and intention. Furthermore, the authors explore how the consumer type (i.e. urban vs rural) differs in consumption values regarding adopting m-banking services.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were gathered from 246 responses collected from individuals living in a country with a developing market, using a survey instrument. The six study hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equat…
Robot acceptance model for care (RAM-care) : A principled approach to the intention to use care robots
2020
Robots are emerging in welfare services, and organizations require information on whether novel technologies are approved among staff. On the basis of technology acceptance theories, this study proposes a model that adds a principled approach to the intention to use care robots. Data of 544 professionals with care robot experience were collected. The use intention was predicted by usefulness, enjoyment, social influence, and attitude. Respondents who found robots useful and accepted by their colleagues were more likely to view robot use as consistent with their personal values. The care robot acceptance model supports consideration of the profession-specific context in robotization. peerRev…
Intention to use mobile customer relationship management systems
2014
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the behavioral intentions of business-to-business (B2B) sales managers to use mobile customer relationship management (CRM) systems in the course of their day-to-day activities. Design/methodology/approach – An extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of mobile CRM system adoption is developed and tested with data from 105 international sales managers representing five B2B companies. Findings – The study extends the TAM framework with three additional constructs derived from mobile technology and sales force automation literature, namely personal innovativeness in the domain of IT, perceived risk, and perceived reachability. The model…
Making the most of information technology & systems usage: A literature review, framework and future research agenda
2015
Literature review on information technology & systems (IT/S) from January 2000 to December 2014.Total 152 relevant articles were found and classified into four main domains.Literature on IT/S continuous usage lacks a clear roadmap and agenda.Most research conducted in East Asia and North America.Technology acceptance model (TAM) the most used theory. This detailed literature review has considered a relatively large quantity (152 total) of scholarly empirical publications, conference proceedings, books and popular market reports published over the last 15years, i.e., from January 2000 to December 2014, in the field of human continuous usage behavior and in the context of information technolo…
Physicians' appraisal of mobile health monitoring
2013
This study addresses what factors influence and moderate Japanese physicians' mobile health monitoring (MHM) adoption for diabetic patients. In light of the multilevel sequential check theory, the study tests whether novelty seeking, self-efficacy, and compatibility moderate the effects of overall quality, net benefits, and perceived value of MHM on physicians' usage intention. Self-efficacy serves as an evaluation of resources for coping with an event, while compatibility involves the judgment of an event's congruence with a motive or goal. The study results support four out of nine moderation hypotheses. Our findings clearly indicate that the impact of overall quality and net benefits on …
Technology acceptance of voice assistants : anthropomorphism as factor
2017
Teknologian omaksumista on tutkittu tietojärjestelmätieteissä vuosia, tarkoituksena selvittää mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat teknologian omaksumiseen. Nämä tutkimukset ovat tuottaneet erilaisia malleja, jotka selittävät tämän prosessin niin teknisestä, kuin motivaation näkökulmasta. Tämä tutkimus yrittää luoda mallin joka selittää teknologian omaksumisen, kun antropomorfismi on lisätty tekijäksi. Tätä mallia tutkitaan ääniavustajien kontekstissa. Tämä pro-gradu tutkielma koostuu kirjallisuuskatsauksesta, sekä empiirisestä tutkimuksesta. Kirjallisuuskatsaus osoittaa antropomorfismin voivan vaikuttaa käyttäjän käyttäytymiseen. Lisäksi katsaus tunnistaa sopivia tekijöitä, joilla mitata antropomorfi…
