This research aims to identify the factors influencing consumer’s attitudes to continuously use mobile shopping applications. The primary data were collected by distributing online questionnaire to 384 respondents who had previous experience on using mobile shopping applications to purchase products. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 23.0. The findings show that perceived usefulness, privacy and security, electronic words of mouth, and perceived ease of use have positive relationship, whereas the design aesthetics has no positive relationship with the consumer’s attitudes to continuously use the mobile shopping application. This study enhances the researcher’s understanding on how the perceived usefulness, privacy and security, electronic words of mouth and perceived ease of use in influencing the consumer’s attitudes to continuously use the mobile shopping applications. This study extend the application of expectation-confirmationmodel (ECM) and technology acceptance model (TAM) which can provides the theoretical understanding on the various factors that influencing consumer’s attitudes to continuously use the mobile shopping applications.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify factors impacting the adoption of m-banking. Design/methodology/approach – To attain the above objective a conceptual model was developed based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and diffusion of innovation (DOI). Primary data were collected using questionnaire from 600 customers and the data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. Findings – The study found empirical evidence for positive relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and Social Influence to positive attitude towards m-banking. However, no support was found for FC, benevolence and privacy and security to attitude towards m-banking. The study found support for the relationship between attitude towards m-banking and intention to adopt m-banking. Practical implications – The study has practical implications for managers. The study suggests that m-banking adoption can be increased by improving the customer's perception of benevolence and privacy and security. Originality/value – This is one of the few empirical studies which have investigated the adoption of m-banking in India. Earlier build theories like TAM and DOI were adapted for their generalizability to test the adoption of m-banking technology, which resulted in the development of an advanced conceptual model. The present model adds to the existing literature of technology adoption. The findings would help the managers to work on factors that are not perceived adequate by customers. Such improvements would facilitate the adoption of new technology.

mHealth is one of China’s national strategies that brings affordable, accessible, and convenient health care to its entire population, may they be in cities or rural areas. Although Chinese young adults are among the first to adopt mHealth, the factors influencing Chinese young adults to use mHealth are yet to be studied both empirically and in depth. This study explores the mechanism that determines Chinese young adults’ intention to use mHealth, based on an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The extended TAM was tested using responses from 486 Chinese young adults. The results showed that perceived usefulness strongly and significantly influenced people’s intention to use mHealth. Additionally, communication effectiveness, health consciousness, and perceived ease of use were found as significant factors influencing people’s intention to use mHealth through perceived usefulness. Distrust was not found to significantly influence people’s intention to use mHealth.

The purpose of this chapter is to examine the factors that influence small and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) intentions to use the investment account platform (IAP) based on technology acceptance model (TAM). The central hypothesis for this chapter was that SMEs' intentions to use IAP were a result of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This chapter also suggested that perceived ease of use and intention was mediated by perceived usefulness of the IAP. Using primary data collection method, 163 questionnaires were collected from SMEs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia using the purposive sampling technique. The data were analysed using SPSS and SmartPLS. The chapter found that perceived ease of use had significant influences on SMEs intention to use the IAP while perceived ease of use significantly affected perceived usefulness and the relationship between perceived ease of use and intention was mediated by perceived usefulness of the IAP. The results of this chapter suggested strategies to promote the platform as a fund seeking platform for SMEs.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate and examine the factors contributing to consumers’ mobile shopping continuance intention (CI) of food and non-food items via smartphones and other mobile terminals. Design/methodology/approach An integrated model was proposed on the basis of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and expectation confirmation model (ECM), focussing on perceived value (PV). The survey responses of 203 Chinese mobile shoppers (m-shoppers) were analysed using structural equation modelling with the partial least squares approach. Findings The results indicated that perceived usefulness does not motivate all user groups. Furthermore, satisfaction and perceived ease of use significantly impacted different user groups. For online food m-shoppers, value for money (VM) was the most important factor influencing satisfaction and CI. However, perceived usefulness only affected CI for non-food m-shoppers. Practical implications Marketers can improve users’ CI by enhancing VM and maximising effectiveness and enjoyment while minimising prices. Moreover, in determining strategies for different users, marketers should identify the behavioural differences among all groups and those between the two classified groups. Originality/value This is one of the studies attempting to explain Chinese mobile shopping consumers’ CI, but especially through an integrated model based on TAM and ECM with PV on food and non-food m-commerce perspective. It offers several implications for researchers and practitioners and contributes to the literature of technology acceptance and post-adoption behaviour in m-commerce.

This paper explores the factors influencing the acceptance of halal virtual inspection. Halal inspection is one of the main critical processes in Halal Certification system. However, due to the problems that occur in Halal Certification system, halal virtual inspection is proposed to overcome the problems. The technology acceptance model (TAM) was adapted as a baseline theory. Survey questionnaires were distributed to 86 respondents who are identified as halal industry players such as producers and consumers of food and beverages sector. The findings of this study reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, amount of information, perceived security and trust are the main factors influencing halal virtual inspection acceptance. These factors could be used as a guideline to the halal service providers in order to achieve effective implementation, efficient and trusted halal virtual inspection.

The importance of e-government projects is driving research in the area of technology acceptance to better understand the factors influencing the adoption of such projects and thus the success of e-government. Among the factors influencing the intention to use e-government projects are: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence and trust. These relationships also are moderated by gender and age and previous literature supported such premise. This study utilized a sample of Jordanians who filled a survey consisting of items measuring the previously mentioned constructs. Results supported the proposed research model, where intention to use e-government services was significantly predicted by all proposed variables. Age and gender were significant predictors of e-government services when added to the model. Unfortunately, only one relationship was moderated by age and no relationships where moderated by gender. The detailed findings, conclusions and future work are discussed further in this paper.
