The investigation of driverless car from the economic perspective is one of the most discussed topics nowadays. Although it can be approached from various perspectives there is still a lack of studies focusing on the behavioral intention to use self-driving cars and its influencing factors. Over the last few decades, various psychological models have been developed to investigate the influencing factors of usage of certain technologies, but most of them cannot provide clear answers on consumer attitudes and intentions with regard to autonomous vehicles. Thus, new models have appeared to better describe the psychological factors of this new technological development that will revolutionize the future of mobility. In our research CTAM (Car Technology Acceptance Model) was used to measure intention to using self-driving cars. In 2019, 314 participants responded to our questionnaire and provided answers to the given questions. We used structural equation modelling to investigate the linkages between the behavioral intention and influencing factors revealed during the literature review. According to the results, the most important influencing factors of intention are attitude, perceived safety and social norms, while anxiety (of using the technology), effort expectancy, performance expectancy, and self-efficacy have not been proven important factors. The model used in our investigation explains behavioral intention to a great extent (63%).

Dalam implementasi sebuah sistem informasi di suatu institusi, perlu dipertimbangkan  bagaimana penerimaan pengguna terhadap sistem informasi tersebut. Penerapan sistem informasi dapat dikatakan gagal jika pengguna ternyata tidak dapat menerima atau tidak mau menggunakan sistem informasi tersebut. Sebagai sebuah institusi pendidikan, Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta (UAJY) juga mengimplementasikan sistem e-learning untuk mendukung proses belajar mengajar. Pengguna wajib dari e-learning ini adalah dosen dan mahasiwa. Sejak diterapkan belum pernah diadakan evaluasi mengenai penerimaan pengguna terhdap sistem e-learning ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melakukan pengujian terhadap penerimaan pengguna (mahasiswa) terhadap e-learning dengan menggunakan Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Pengujian dilakukan dengan mengukur pengaruh antar variabel dalam model TAM yang meliputi variabel Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Using, Behavioral Intention dan Actual Usage. Metode pengujian statistik yang dilakukan yaitu uji statistik validitas, reliabilitas, normalitas, dan menguji pengaruh faktor menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM). Sumber data didapatkan dengan metode kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada responden mahasiswa UAJY dari seluruh fakultas. Dari enam hipotesis yang diajukan satu hipotesis dinyatakan tidak diterima, yaitu hipotesis yang menyatakan Perceived Usefulnes berpengaruh terhadap Behavioral Intention. Kelima hipotesis yang lain yaitu Perceived Ease of Use berpengaruh terhadap Perceived Usefulnes, Perceived Usefulnes berpengaruh terhadap Attitude Toward Using, Perceived Ease of Use berpengaruh terhadap Attitude Toward Using, Attitude Toward Using berpengaruh terhadap Behavioral Intention, Behavioral Intention berpengaruh terhadap Actual Usage dinyatakan dapat diterima.

Brand personality is a useful tool that forms a favorable brand image and that ultimately builds powerful brand equity. However, there has been insufficient empirical research on the brand personality of Korean dance. In the context of using culture and the arts to support national competitiveness, we examine traditional Korean dance in terms of a potential brand personality that can influence the perceptions of global consumers. We look at how this brand can affect consumer perceptions of how easy it is to learn Korean dances as well as their perceptions of the physical benefits of these dances. The respondents included global consumers who had listened to or watched Korean dance music and videos on TV and the Internet, searched for and watched Korean dance videos on YouTube, and searched for Korean dance information on social media at least once. A survey was conducted over the course of four months, from October 2020 to January 2021, in four countries: South Korea, the USA, the UK, and South Africa. Valid data were obtained from 649 individuals. We conducted an empirical study by applying and integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) to the brand personality of Korean dance. A structural equation model was used to analyze the responses. The brand personality of Korean dance enhanced its perceived ease of use and its perceived usefulness among global consumers, which led to positive attitudes toward the dances. Furthermore, it led to a sustainable behavioral intention, that is, interest in learning traditional Korean dances. Since no studies have integrated Korean dance into a single brand personality to use it as a cultural asset, this study makes considerable contributions to the literature.

The purpose of this article was to apply the modified technology acceptance model (TAM) to examine factors influencing consumers' intention and actual behavior in using sports brand apps. Convenience sampling was conducted for Korean consumers (N = 261) of sports brand apps. Data were analyzed by partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0. The results found that the level of enjoyment had a significantly positive effect on the perceived ease of use, while perceived ease of use also positively affected perceived usefulness. Behavioral intention to use sports brand apps was most significantly influenced by perceived enjoyment, followed by perceived usefulness, and then perceived ease of use. Moreover, behavioral intention positively affected actual behavior. In addition, a multi-group analysis carried out found differences between three age groups (20s, 30s, and 40+) regarding the use of sports brand apps. The findings provide a better understanding of consumer behavior when using sports brand apps.

As the various applications of Internet and information communication technology (ICT) grow rapidly, the education and hospital institutions provide more distance learning programs, which also makes the research on e-learning more important. However, disadvantages in e-learning have been identified. Blended e-learning systems (BELSs) are considered effective alternative learning approaches. This research proposes a conceptual model to explain the factors affecting nurses’ behavioral intention to use a blended e-learning system (BELS). This research integrated perceived risk and the technology acceptance model to hypothesize a theoretical model for explaining and predicting learners’ behavioral intention to use a BELS. Self-report questionnaires were distributed to local community hospitals, regional hospitals, and medical centers in Central Taiwan. To confirm this research hypothesis, data were collected 682 nurses, with a response rate of 97.4%. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), the results show that perceived risk, perceived ease of use, and attitude influenced BELS behavioral intention. Perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness substantially influenced use attitude. In addition, the path coefficient of perceived risk on attitude was non-significant. On the basis of the results, hospital institutions can devise better strategies for developing their blended e-learning system. Key words: nurses education, blended learning, technology acceptance model, nurse perceptions, structural equation model.

In Indonesia, the strategy of collecting zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh (ZIS) continues, one of which is through digital collection through the use of a crowdfunding platform. However, the community's intention or intention to distribute zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh through the crowdfunding platform has decreased based on the percentage of raising. The purpose of this study is to test the theory of Technology Acceptance Model  (TAM) and Trust (Trust) by analyzing what factors influence the intention of the Indonesian people to distribute ZIS through the use of a crowdfunding platform. The population in this study are people who have used digital payment platforms with a sample size of 385 respondents. This study uses data analysis techniques with the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results of this study indicate that individuals believe that crowdfunding platforms are very easy to use and learn. On the other hand, individuals have high confidence in the crowdfunding platform and have a high perception of usability for the crowdfunding platform. The individual intensity is very high for using the crowdfunding platform. In the SEM-PLS analysis results, it was found that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust have a positive and significant effect on behavioral intention. In addition, perceived ease of use and trust have an indirect effect on behavioral intention. This research is expected to be able to provide benefits in relation to policies to increase behavioral intention to distribute zakat, infaq, and Shodaqoh through the use of crowdfunding platforms.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are commonly perceived as an essential part of boosting and stabilizing global economic growth. In 2018, SMEs recorded a 38.3% contribution to GDP of RM521.7 billion compared to RM491.2 billion in 2017. SMEs are expected to contribute 50% to Malaysia's GDP by 2030 relative to its present 38% contribution. However, in the context of Malaysia businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, are still not embracing the latest technology revolution sufficiently, as reported by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (2018). Malaysia is currently in the third industrial revolution (automation), and some are still under the second industrial revolution. Such matter is worrying as only a few industries in Malaysia can adopt pillars of Industry 4.0, where business owners in Malaysia were still hesitant to embrace technologies such as the cloud. To bridge the gap in this analysis, this research adopted the technology acceptance model developed by Davis (1989) and Rogers' Diffusion Innovation Theory (1995), which incorporates the contexts of technology and innovation among SMEs in Malaysia. By using survey questionnaires, data was collected among manufacturing and services SMEs in Malaysia. Structural equation model employed to assess the important factors of innovation in adopting cloud computing among SMEs in Malaysia by using Smart-PLS.
