Behavioral Intention To Use

Background Medical care facilities in both developed and developing countries around the world continue to invest in hospital information technologies (HITs). Nevertheless, it has been discovered that user acceptance of these technologies is one of the imperative issues during their implementation and management in developing countries such as Ghana. Purpose Notably, the technology acceptance assessment of nurses is a timely one since they play a very important role in the medical sector. Based on the model of “Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology,” this study explored the factors that affect Ghanaian nurses’ acceptance of HIT. Design/Method/Approach: A descriptive nonexperimental research design was employed in this study to recruit 660 nurses (404 females and 256 males) from 3 teaching and 2 regional hospitals in Ghana. A standardized electronic platform questionnaire (based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model) was designed on smartphones and was self-administered, while the data collected were analyzed via the SmartPLS Structural Equation Modeling path analysis. The “Social Influence” ( t  = 3.656, p < .001), “Attitude towards the Use of Technology” ( t = 5.861, p < .001), and “Facilitating Conditions” ( t = 2.616, p < .001) were the main predictors of the nurses’ behavioral intention to use HIT. The effects of the aforementioned constructs explained 60.7% ( R2 = 0.607) of the variance in the nurses’ intentions to use the HIT systems. Conclusions Precisely, HIT systems are essential in the quality and the enhancement of nursing services provision and in the effectiveness of the performance of nursing staff. This study, therefore, offers a piece of empirical evidence for hospital administrators in developing countries especially Ghana, to assess the success probability of new HITs before and after their implementation.

Abstract Background Although a mobile nursing application has began to adopt in nursing, few studies have focused on nurses’ behavioral intention of it. The objective of this study is to gain insight into the behavioral intention of nurses, i.e. chinese nurses of the future, to use a mobile nursing application. This study adopted an extension of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology to examine Chinese nurses’ acceptance of a mobile nursing application. Methods A total of 1207 nurses participated in the cross-sectional survey. The majority of nurses were female (96.2%). The mean age of the participants was 34.18 (SD 7.39). The hypothesized relationships were tested using AMOS structural equation model. Results All constructs exhibited an acceptable level of reliability and validity with Cα and CR > 0.7 and AVE > 0.5. An extension of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model had good explanatory power for nurses’ behavioral intention of a mobile nursing application. Although effort expectancy and perceived risks had a surprisingly insignificant effect on nurses’ behavioral intention to use a mobile nursing application, performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, self-efficacy, and perceived incentives demonstrated significant influence with β = .259, p < .001, β = .296, p < .001, β = .063, p = .037, β = .344, p < .001, β = .091, p = .001, respectively. Conclusion With 70.2% of the variance in behavioral intention to use a mobile nursing app explained by this model, it could be helpful for potential adopters, and further investigation should test the actual usage behavior for a mobile nursing app and investigate the related factors.

Behavioral Intention To Use

The government around the world is now using the electronic government as the modern way of providing service for their citizen. Hence, a number of studies have been investigated and explored the importance of information technology to transform delivery service by the government to their citizen, However, e-government implementation in Nigeria still lacking due to some reasons, such as inadequate of infrastructure and the participation of the citizen to use the e-government service. This is call for change and further study is needed to investigate the behavioral intention of a citizen to use e-government service in Nigeria. Furthermore, the Unified Theory of acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model is used in this paper as its best model to explore the behavioral intention and usage, and it is combined with eight theories and models of technology adoption or acceptance toward a unified view. Thus the current paper is conceptualized that citizens' behavioral intention to use e-government is expected to be influenced by the citizen. This paper contributes in two folds; practically and theoretically. Citizen is the main role of using e-government service, thus require attention. The social influence, facilitating condition, performance expectancy and Effort expectancy are expected to influence the behavioral intention to use the e-government service. Therefore, the findings will help the government to formulate policies that consider the citizen's intention to use e-government service. The conceptual paper compares only on the fundamental concepts and findings, thus calls for an empirical validation of the proposed framework.

Technology Acceptance Theories have been widely applied and quite successful at explaining the behavioral intention to use technology in many organizations. One of the most significant variables in the Technology Acceptance Model is perceived ease of use. The Technology Acceptance Model purports that perceived ease of use contributes to the behavioral intention to use technology. Additionally, the model purports that perceived ease of use is an antecedent of perceived usefulness. In the adoption and use of technology across multiple industries, previous studies show that Technology Acceptance Theories predictions have been incorrect and not consistently supported. Qualitatively studying physicians, it is shown that medical doctors focus on factors not thoroughly investigated or explained in the literature. This study specifically investigates physicians’ behavioral intention to use a Personal Digital Assistant in their work environment and examines why some tested constructs, such as perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, are not relevant in a health care environment. Plausible solutions to this non-predictability issue, such as technology substitution, are presented.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi minat menggunakan aplikasi pembayaran bergerak. Secara khusus, peneliti mengembangkan UTAUT2 (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) dengan menambahkan factor Persepsi Keamanan dan Kepercayaan untuk dapat menjelaskan variable endogenous pada penelitian ini dengan lebih baik. Sampel pada penelitian ini dibatasi pada pengguna sebuah brand pembayaran bergerak di daerah Jabodetabek, dengan data yang didapatkan melalui kuesioner online (n=144). Data pada penelitian ini diuji dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif dengan menjalankan analisa SEM-PLS. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Pengaruh Sosial, Motivasi Keduniawian, dan Kepercayaan mempengaruhi Minat Menggunakan secara signifikan dan langsung, sedangkan Ekspektasi Usaha, Persepsi Keamanan, dan Ekspektasi Kinerja memiliki pengaruh tidak langsung terhadap Minat Menggunakan. Adjusted R2 dari variabel endogenous Minat Menggunakan pada penelitian ini adalah 71.6%. Hasil dari penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada diskusi yang sedang berjalan terkait dengan penggunaan pembayaran bergerak sebagai ‘disruptor digital’ di masa mendatang dengan menambahkan dua variabel penting terkait privasi pengguna.  The objective of this research is to analyze the antecedents of Behavioral Intention to use mobile payment platform. Specifically, the researchers expanded on UTAUT2 (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) by incorporating Perceived Security and Trust to better explain the endogenous variable. The sample of this study was limited to the users of mobile payment platforms in the Greater Jakarta area, and the data were collected using online questionnaires (n=144). The data in this study were examined using quantitative research by utilizing the SEM-PLS analysis. This research found that Social Influence, Hedonic Motivation, and Trust directly and significantly affected Behavioral Intention, while Effort Expectancy, Perceived Security, and Performance Expectancy had an indirect relationship with Behavioral Intention. Finally, the adjusted R2 of Behavioral Intention in this study is 71.6%. The results of this study contributed to the ongoing discussion on mobile payment adoption as the next digital disruptor by incorporating two important user privacy constructs.
