PurposeThe purpose of this study was to update the fashion retail literature with an investigation of consumers' perceptions of in-store self-service technology (SST) and their willingness to adopt SST for fashion purchases. Specifically, this study examined the relationships between technology readiness (TR), individual characteristics and the perceived pragmatic and hedonic qualities of SST.Design/methodology/approachA web-based survey was distributed to Korean consumers who had experience with in-store technologies. A two-step analysis including confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling was applied.FindingsBoth pragmatic and hedonic perceptions had significant impacts on acceptance of SST for fashion shopping. As for the roles of TR, innovativeness and optimism inherent in TR enhanced consumer perceptions of SST, while discomfort and insecurity did not.Originality/valueThis study extends the knowledge of consumer acceptance of SSTs in fashion retail by highlighting the need to consider hedonic qualities and examining the different roles of each TR dimension for a full understanding of SST acceptance.

The aim of this paper is to explore customer readiness towards new self-service technologies in retail. In addition to that, the aim of this paper is to explore and determine the attitude and intentions of customers in using new self-service technologies and to determine the perceived trust towards new self-service technology trends in retail stores. The data was collected through a survey questionnaire using a sample of 213 respondents of generation Y from the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Research results indicate that consumers show a high level of readiness toward new self-service technologies and moderate high level of perceived trust toward smart self-service carts in retail stores. Additionally, it indicates that customers show positive attitudes toward new self-service technology trends such assmart self-service carts and most of them intend to use that technology in their future purchases.

This study suggests that, in addition to willingness, ability is a relevant and important dimension of self-service technology (SST) acceptance and, going beyond prior studies' exclusive focus on willingness, develops an SST acceptance model that captures both consumer ability and willingness to use such technologies. Previous research on consumer acceptance of SSTs has focused primarily on consumers' willingness, while neglecting their ability – this is evident in many SST studies investigating adoption intentions. However, using an SST often requires skills and some level of confidence. Drawing upon the ability–willingness framework, this study adopts a cross-sectional field survey approach to recruit real consumers using self-checkout technology at a supermarket. Results from structural equation modelling based on 281 consumers highlight the relevance and importance of ability, and show that consumers' willingness and ability to use SSTs are determined by different factors.
