With the growth in technology, organizations have started investing in building technology infrastructure. The application of technology in enterprises has provided various advantages such as low training cost and reliable training content. This study tries to investigate the attributes influencing user satisfaction and continuance intention to use e-training. The study derives ease of use and course content as the factors that can affect user satisfaction which further results in a user’s intention to continuously use e-trainings. Following structural equation modelling (SEM), the results of the study have indicated a significant relation between ease of use, course content and user satisfaction. Furthermore, it has also indicated that continuance intention to use e-training is an outcome of user satisfaction.

This study examines the applicability of an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) that incorporates trust, perceived risk, and self-enhancement as antecedents to the TAM constructs. Data collected from 299 Vietnamese online consumers, through a self-administered survey, were entered into a structural equation model using AMOS 23 to establish causality. The results partially confirm the applicability of TAM to the online shopping intentions of Vietnamese consumer, though contrary to expectations, perceived ease of use does not predict behavioral intentions. Trust and self-enchantment fit well with the TAM; the inclusion of perceived risk as an antecedent is questionable. The findings offer new opportunities for explaining TAM theory in light of Schwartz's value dimensions. This article thus concludes with a discussion of the research contributions and implications.

This study investigates the role of perceived ease of use as an intervening variable between two external factors from the technology acceptance model (TAM) and Accounting application (MYOB) usage intention. This paper broadened TAM by enhancing external factors: performance expectancy and effort expectancy. Seventy-nine accounting students responded in this study. Employing Structural Equation Model (SEM-PLS) concludes that perceived ease of use fully intercedes the connection between effort expectancy and MYOB usage intention. Besides, perceived ease of use also intervenes the association between performance expectancy and intention to use MYOB accounting application. However, the type of mediation is complimentary mediation. The practical and theoretical implication is discussing in this paper.

E-Lifestyles are individual forms of behavior in the digital environment that reflect the values, activities, interests, and opinions of consumers. Likewise, fitness Apps are considered technological tools for promoting physical activity online. Although there are studies related to sports lifestyles, it has not been analyzed yet how e-lifestyles are related to the use of fitness Apps. Based on this, this study represents a step to clarify how e-lifestyles influence different relationships with perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, and intentions to use Fitness Apps. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyze the relationship between the e-lifestyles of consumers of Boutique fitness centers and their relationship with the perceived ease of use, the perceived usefulness, the attitude, and the intention to use Fitness Apps. The sample was 591 customers (378 women and 213 men) of 25 Boutique fitness centers. An online questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model. Findings provide an insight into the importance of e-lifestyles in the intention of using fitness Apps and therefore in promoting physical activity through online fitness services. The results showed positive relationships between e-lifestyles, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and attitude toward fitness Apps. Finally, the attitude toward fitness Apps offered a very high predictive value on use intention. This study provides a better understanding of consumer´s intention to use fitness Apps. The conclusions and recommendations for sports managers of fitness centers highlight the importance of e-lifestyles as a predecessor for the use of fitness Apps.

<p>The increasing number of internet users in Indonesia, especially mobile internet users, has changed consumer habits and behavior in consuming entertainment. Internet penetration leads to the increasing consumption of streaming video on demand (SVOD) services in Indonesia, which is increasingly popular. Netflix is one of the largest SVOD service providers in the world that has a customer subscription system. The tight competition in the SVOD industry caused Netflix to experience a significant reduction in the number of global subscribers. Therefore, the researcher's goal is to predict which factors influence the consumer's decision-making process to continue to use Netflix in view of the model of consumer attitudes toward technology adoption. The research data come from non-probability sampling with judgmental sampling techniques of 237 Netflix’s subscribers across Indonesia that have subscribed Netflix for more than three months, and having an intensity of use for 2-5 hours or more per day.  This research was conducted with a quantitative descriptive method using Structural Equation Modelling method. This study <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> </span>indicate that there’s a positive relationship between perceived system quality and perceived enjoyment of attitude to use. Furthermore, there is a negative influence between the perceived price level and attitude to use. This study also reaffirms that the SVOD attitude to use is a predictor of continuance intention to use SVOD. This research also proved that perceived ease of use, perceived content quality, customization, and perceived psychological risk did not affect the attitude to use SVOD.</p><p><em><strong>Abstrak dalam Bahasa Indonesia.</strong> Dengan semakin meningkatnya jumlah pengguna internet di Indonesia, khususnya dari sisi pengguna internet seluler, telah mengubah kebiasaan dan perilaku konsumen dalam mengonsumsi hiburan. Penetrasi internet juga berdampak pada meningkatnya konsumsi layanan Streaming Video on Demand (SVOD) di Indonesia yang semakin populer. Netflix merupakan salah satu penyedia layanan SVOD terbesar di dunia yang memiliki sistem layanan pelanggan. Persaingan ketat di industri SVOD menyebabkan Netflix mengalami penurunan jumlah pelanggan global yang signifikan. Oleh karena itu, tujuan peneliti ini adalah untuk memprediksi faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi proses pengambilan keputusan konsumen untuk terus menggunakan Netflix yang dilihat dari sisi model sikap konsumen terhadap adopsi suatu teknologi. Teknik pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan non-probability sampling dengan teknik judgemental sampling terhadap 237 pelanggan Netflix di seluruh Indonesia yang telah berlangganan Netflix selama lebih dari tiga bulan, dan intensitas penggunaan selama 2-5 jam atau lebih per hari nya. Analisis Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan metode Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terhadap pengaruh positif antara kualitas sistem yang dirasakan (Perceived System Quality) dan kenikmatan yang dirasakan (Perceived Enjoyment) terhadap sikap untuk menggunakan (Attitude to Use). Selain itu, ada pengaruh negatif antara persepsi tingkat harga (Perceived Price Level) dan sikap penggunaan (Attitude to Use) SVOD. Penelitian ini juga menegaskan kembali bahwa sikap penggunaan SVOD merupakan prediktor niat untuk terus menggunakan SVOD (Continuance Intention to Use). Penelitian ini juga membuktikan bahwa persepsi kemudahan penggunaan (Perceived Ease of Use), persepsi kualitas konten (Perceived Content Quality), pengaturan ulang (Customization), dan persepsi risiko psikologis (Perceived Psychological Risk) tidak berpengaruh terhadap sikap penggunaan SVOD.</em></p>

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine (a)symmetric features of task-technology-performance characteristics that are most relevant to fit, satisfaction and continuance intention of using apps in mobile banking transactions. Design/methodology/approach Exploratory factor analysis was used with maximum likelihood extraction and Varimax rotation on a separate sample of 183 mobile banking apps users prior to the main data collection. The theoretical model was tested applying a factor-based structural equation modelling approach to a sample of 250 experienced mobile banking apps users. Findings The study unveiled that the task and performance characteristics are more relevant compared to technology characteristics when doing transactions via apps. In addition, the findings uncovered that user satisfaction and continuous intention to use apps stem from the degree of fit in online transactions. The findings of moderation analysis highlighted that users in the lower income group are more concerned about the performance characteristics of banking apps, and there are no differences across age and gender groups. Surprisingly, technology characteristic has a nonlinear nature and this study shows potential boundary conditions of technology characteristics in degree of fit, user satisfaction and continuance intention to use apps. Practical implications Findings from the conditional probabilistic queries reveal that with 83.3 per cent of probability, user satisfaction is high when using apps for banking transactions, if the levels of fit, task, performance and technology characteristics are high. Furthermore, with 72 per cent of probability, continuance intention to use apps is high, if the levels of performance and task characteristics are high. Originality/value Contributing to task-technology fit theory, this study shows that performance characteristics need to be aligned with task and technology characteristics in order to have better fit when using apps for online banking transactions.

Despite the growing attention being paid to the use of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) in China, it is still uncertain what factors lie behind EFL (English-as-a-foreign-language) learners’ continuance intention to use it. To this end, by adding two external factors (i.e., computer self-efficacy and perceived ease of use) to the expectation confirmation model (ECM), we surveyed 345 Chinese EFL learners and tested a number of proposed hypotheses using their response data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results demonstrated that four factors directly influenced EFL learners’ continuance intention to use AWE, of which perceived ease of use was the most significant factor. Furthermore, confirmation was the most important factor impacting on EFL learners’ satisfaction and perceived ease of use of AWE. Perceived ease of use of AWE played an important role in influencing EFL learners’ perceived usefulness of AWE. Implications regarding the findings were also discussed.
