Acceptance Model

Abstract Older adults with a chronic health condition (e.g. hypertension) use various self-management methods. Healthcare technologies have the potential to support health self-management. However, it is necessary to understand the acceptance of these technologies as a precursor to older adults’ adoption and integration into their health plan. Our focus was on the factors older adults with hypertension initially consider when introduced to three new healthcare technologies that might support their health self-management. We compared their considerations for a blood pressure monitor, an electronic pillbox and a multifunction robot to simulate incrementally more complex technologies. Twenty-three participants (aged 65–84) completed four questionnaires and a semi-structured interview. The interview transcripts were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. We identified the factors that were frequently mentioned among the participants for each of the three healthcare technologies. The factors that older adults initially considered were familiarity, perceived benefits, perceived ease of use, perceived need for oneself, relative advantage, complexity and perceived need for others. Upon further reflection, participants considered advice acceptance, compatibility, convenience, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness, privacy, subjective norm, and trust. We integrated the factors that older adults considered into the Healthcare Technology Acceptance Model (H-TAM), which elucidates the complexity of healthcare technology acceptance and provides guidance for future explorations.

Smart home services (SHS) have been developed by related firms and have had a strong impact on consumers’ lives. This research integrates involvement antecedents, innovation diffusion factors and a technology acceptance model to develop a conceptual framework for discussing consumer attitudes and adoption behaviors toward smart home service applications. A sample of 580 respondents from different smart home buildings in Taiwan was asked to complete a survey. This paper proposes and validates a structured methodology for assessing and improving smart home service development. The research results verify that involvement antecedents (interest), innovation diffusion factors (observability, compatibility, relative advantage), and technology acceptance model (perceived usefulness) positively affect consumer attitudes toward the adoption of smart home services and that positive adoption attitudes lead to higher levels of adoption behavior. Perceived ease of use has no influence on consumer adoption attitudes toward smart home services unless through the mediating effects of perceived usefulness. Demographic variables, including gender, age and personal income, play important segmentation roles in the promotion strategies for smart home services.

The Impact

Currently, internet services are developing rapidly, and the relationship between specific types of internet services and the well-being of older adults is still unclear. This study took a total of 353 urban older adults aged 60 years and above as research objects to explore the impact of the use behavior toward internet-based medical services (IBMS) on their well-being through an online questionnaire. This study integrated well-being theory and peer support theory, constructed an extended structural equation model of technology acceptance based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), and analyzed the variable path relationship. The results confirm the proposed model: older adults improved their eudaimonic well-being through using IBMS; perceived usefulness significantly affected the older adults’ attitudes towards IBMS; perceived ease of use significantly affected the use of IBMS through mediation; peer support significantly affected older adults’ attitudes, willingness, actual use, and well-being in the process. This study proposes that facilitating IBMS use for older adults in the development and design of internet technology programs should be considered in order to provide them with benefits. Moreover, paying attention to peer support among older adults plays an important role in the acceptance of new technologies and improving their well-being. The “peer support” of this study expanded and contributed to the research on the impact on older adults’ well-being and the construction of a technology acceptance model. The peer support in this study extended the influence factor of eudaimonic well-being and contributed to the further development of the TAM.

<p>The aim of this article is to discuss how different factors affect the decision of intention to use and adopt mobile health applications using the extended technology acceptance model (TAM) among older adults in Iraq. “Perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), subjective norm (SN), and facilitating conditions (FC)” were four key predictors. Gender and age were included as factors for moderating the impact of two key TAM components in the proposed model (PU and PEU) on intention to use and adoption behaviors. The results of the past studies indicated that PU, PEU and SN were important predictors of adoption of mobile health applications among older adults in Iraq, While PU, SN, and FC were important predictors of the intention to use mobile health applications. Previous studies highlighted a strong impact of PEU on the intention to use mobile health applications on older adults than for younger adults. Implications are discussed for future research and practices.</p>

ABSTRACTThis study aims to examine the determinants of the developed Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework. The author used stratified random sampling, and data collection used a survey method. The analysis technique used is multiple regression analysis and path analysis using the IBM SPSS 25 software. The results show that perceived ease of use and perceived risk do not influence attitude towards fintech lending. In contrast, perceived usefulness, relative advantage, and perceived cost influence it, and attitude influences intention to use fintech lending behavior. Moreover, the attitude has a partial mediation role only in the relationship between perceived usefulness and relative advantage to fintech lending using intention. These results support the original model of TAM that states perceived ease of use has a nonsignificant effect on attitude towards using behavior. It suggested that financial technology services foster users to use fintech lending through various ways to tell it is easy enough to use and able to protect users' secure data and information. This study also contributes to giving more empirical evidence for other variables to modify and develop the Technology Acceptance Model.JEL : G23, G41, G51. Keywords : Technology Acceptance Model, financial technology, lending. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji faktor-faktor pada kerangka kerja yang merupakan pengembangan dari Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Peneliti menggunakan metode stratified random sampling dan pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode survey. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah uji regresi berganda dan uji jalur dengan bantuan perangkat lunak IBM SPSS 25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perceived ease of use dan perceived risk tidak memberikan pengaruh pada sikap terhadap fintech lending. Sebaliknya, perceived usefulness, relative advantage dan perceived cost justru memberikan pengaruh, serta sikap memberikan pengaruh terhadap minat untuk menggunakan fintech lending. Lebih lanjut, sikap memilki mediasi parsial hanya pada hubungan antara perceived usefulness dan relative advantage terhadap minat untuk menggunakan fintech lending. Hasil penelitian ini mendukung model awal TAM yang menyatakan bahwa perceived ease of use memberikan pengaruh yang tidak signifikan terhadap sikap untuk menggunakan. Disarankan bagi penyedia jasa keuangan berbasis teknologi untuk mendorong pengguna fintech lending melalui berbagai langkah untuk menyampaikan kemudahan penggunaan dan fintech mampu melindungi data dan informasi pengguna yang bersifat rahasia. Penelitian ini juga berkontribusi untuk memberikan bukti empiris pada berbagai variabel yang digunakan untuk memodifikasi dan mengembangkan Technology Acceptance Model.

Abstract During the pandemic, technology-mediated communication was one of the few ways to maintain social and community connections. We explored how the pandemic impacted older adults’ use and appraisal of technology. In a random sample of 407 older adults (M age = 81.1 years; range 65-105 years) almost half (n = 161) reported they changed how they used technology to virtually connect with others during the pandemic, and 78 of these reported that this was new technology for them. We adapted the technology acceptance model (TAM) for the pandemic, the COVID-TAM, and describe how physical distancing led to new acceptance of technology due to an increased perception of usefulness of technology for maintaining community and social connections. The 71 older adults who denied using technology were asked about the reasons underlying their reluctance to use technology to access social networks and community events during the pandemic. Thematic analysis revealed factors consistent with a double-digital divide; lack of physical exposure to technology creates an additional psychological barrier to adoption of new technology. Of the technology-reluctant subgroup of older adults, few reported lack of perceived usefulness of technology during the pandemic. Instead, most reported lack of self-efficacy or fear of technology underlying their lack of technology use for social and community connections during the pandemic, which we incorporate into the COVID-TAM. Findings indicate that technology training can help mitigate this fear and increase social and community connections that are technology-mediated in circumstances where physical distancing is necessary.

This paper analyzes rice farmers’ intention to adopt modern rice technologies using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Quantitative data were gathered through a survey among 404 rice farmers selected using three-stage sampling design. The empirical analysis was done using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via WARP PLS software version 3.0. The outcome of the hypothesized framework shows that perceived usefulness and relative advantage have a direct and significant influence on farmers’ attitude towards modern rice technologies. This implies that the perceived usefulness and relative advantage of the technology influences the positive or negative attitude of the farmers toward the technology. On the other hand, the model suggests that perceived convenience of the technology does not influence farmers’ attitude. Nevertheless, the hypothesized model demonstrates that farmers’ intention influences their decision to adopt modern rice technologies. The paper suggests that further studies be conducted to incorporate external variables in TAM.

Tech-friendliness in this new era is an important quotient considered and the persons’ acceptance towards the technology frequency matters a lot. But still the frequency varies from person to person, this brought in the concept of Technology Acceptance Model given by Fred Davis in 1989. The theory of TAM is based on two theories that are Theory of Reasoned Action and Theory of Planned Behavior, TAM is extended version of these two. Green Banking is a new technology introduced by the banks that focuses on the growth of Sustainable development and Banking system too. Thus, banks ask their customers to use it or practice it in their daily life transactions. But every customer has their own point of view on the usage of Green banking. Thus, the research aims to understand the customers’ perception towards the Green Banking for this TAM is used. The research states that Perceived risk is the primary factor that is followed by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use that impacts the decision to use green banking. Thus, the behavioral intention results in actual use of green banking usage for which people are trying to accept the new technology. So, the banks have earned points for creating awareness among their customers but still they have to work hard and clarify their customers’ problems and vanish that hitch that is stopping them to use green banking easily.
