This study investigates the impact of technology innovation on tax administration in Nigeria. Primary Data were collected through the use of structured questionnaire administered on 219 staffers of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to elicit their responses. Descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Regression Model were used for the data analysis. The R value depicts that the use of information technology accounted for (76.3%) improvement in tax administration in Nigeria. The results strongly support the TPB in predicting the intention of users to adopt electronic tax-filing systems. The results also demonstrate the significant effect that computer self-efficacy has on behavioural intention through perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived risk of use. Based on the findings of this study, implications for electronic tax filing are discussed. Finally, conclusion and recommendations were made based on the findings of the study.

Governments are seeking to benefit from information technology by incorporating various government services online for the benefits of the citizen. The Malaysian government as part of its Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) project introduced e-filing in 2006, which is the process of filing taxes using the Internet as one of the e-government services. This is an exploratory study to model the determinants of intention to use an Internet tax filing system. The authors used 4 variables as predictors or intention to use which were perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risk, and facilitating condition. Data was collected from 100 respondents using non probability purposive sampling via a structured questionnaire. As hypothesized, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and facilitating condition were positively related to intention to use. The findings show that perceived usefulness has the strongest influence on intention to use (ß = 0.341), followed by perceived ease of use (ß = 0.278) and facilitating condition (ß = 0.234). As hypothesized, perceived risk was negatively related (ß =-0.223) to intention to use indicating that users are concerned by the risk involved in filing taxes online. The regression results show that the four variables can explain 52.2% of the variation in intention to use which indicates good explanatory power. Understanding these factors can extend the knowledge, which can lead to better planning and implementation of e-Filing in Malaysia.

In this paper, I analyse the impact that a perceived lack of an installed base has on the adoption of technological products. I use the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which considers perceived usefulness and ease-of-use as the central drivers of adoption and propose that the perceived lack of an installed base influences these two drivers. Based on cue utilisation theory, I further suggest that a perceived lack of an installed base can serve as an extrinsic cue of product quality deficiencies and difficulties with obtaining help and advice. In order to verify the supposed effect of a perceived lack of an installed base, I survey 162 households. The data shows that a perceived lack of an installed base of thermal solar systems (1) decreases their perceived usefulness and perceived ease-of-use and (2) acts as a mediator of the perceived risk. The study implies that managers launching technical innovations should develop strategies to influence consumers' perceptions of the current and the future installed base and communicate the development of the installed base to trigger adoption.

This study explores the impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease-of-use, and perceived risks of using electronic tax filing (e-Filing) on the intention to use e-Filing through a technology acceptance model framework. The theoretical foundation used in this study is the technology acceptance model (TAM) on 201 valid questionnaires completed by Indonesian taxpayers. The data collected was analyzed by structural equation modelling using SmartPLS (3.0 Version). The results of the study revealed that e-Filing’s perceived usefulness and risk were significantly associated with intention to use, while perceived ease-of-use did not have a significant effect. Although the influence of perceived risks significantly mediated the influence of perceived usefulness, it did not significantly mediate the influence of ease-of-use. Gender was found to significantly moderate the influence of e-Filing’s perceived usefulness, but not to moderate the influence of perceived ease-of-use. Importance-Performance Matrix Analysis (IPMA) finds that the intention to use e-Filing is most strongly influenced by its perceived usefulness and perceived risk. This implies that policymakers must highlight the perceived usefulness and communicate the perceived risks of e-Filing to ensure taxpayers are willing to use the system. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is the first to examine both mediation and moderation to analyze the adoption of technology in Indonesia’s taxation system and offer a policy perspective through IPMA.

E-commerce is an emerging market and a developing research field in Iran. The main factors influencing the Iranian consumer's intention towards shopping apparels online are of utmost importance, which the authors are aimed to study. The framework developed for accomplishing this task is created combining constructs of Trust and Perceived Risk with the Technology Acceptance Model which tries to demonstrate the relationship between those two constructs and the subcomponents of TAM including Attitude, Perceived Usefulness, and Perceived Ease of Use and the strengths of these relationships. The findings of this study illustrate the importance of Trust which is proved to have significant direct relationship with Intention and Perceived Risk which has both direct and indirect relationships with Intention. The impact of Perceived Risk is even more critical once the cultural dimension of the country put into account. It is concluded that minimizing the risk of online shopping along with maximizing the trust in this purchasing method plays a main role in adoption of online shopping.

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of trust antecedents on the intent of transactions in mHealth applications. The antecedents of trust included perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived quality, perceived safety, and perceived Covid 19 risks. Perceived risks of COVID19 were also examined for moderating effects on the relationship between trust and m-Health transaction intention. The study used a quantitative method with a survey approach. Our surveys are distributed online via the Lime Survey app. 253 respondents responded to the questionnaire according to the criteria. Results showed that the antecedents that had a significant impact on trust were perceived usefulness (P = 0.012), perceived quality (P = 0.002), and perceived safety (P = 0.000). On the other hand, the perceived ease of use (P = 0.566) and the perceived risk (P = 0.871) did not significantly affect trust. Trust (P = 0.000) and perceived risks of COVID19 (P = 0.011) directly affect m-Health transaction intention. The study also found that the perceived risk of COVID19 did not impact the consumer trust in m-Health but directly impacted transaction intention.

But, the growth of this business had a challenge when the Covid-19 Pandemic hit the country in the early 2020. The P2P lending platform experienced the first highest default rate due the difficulties of the SME’s as its major customers’ in repaying their loans. The purpose of this research is to analyze the determinants of effectiveness repayment apps for ultra-micro segment on P2P platform in Indonesia. As a quantitative research, primary data were collected through questionnaire answered by 133 respondents who were borrower of the P2P lending platform. The data collection was furthered processed statistically using Structural Equation Method (SEM). The study showed that the repayment decision had significantly influenced by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risk and information quality. Information quality itself had the highest influenced among others.   Keywords: Perceived Usefulness; Perceived Ease of Use; Information Quality; Perceived Risks; Repayment Decision; Repayment Apps

As the Artificial Intelligence Internet of Things (AIoT)-based unmanned convenience stores stand out in an increasingly challenging market, the consumer experience is more important than ever (CustomerThink, 2018). By employing new technologies, 7-Eleven, a leading chain convenience store in Taiwan, launched X-Store in 2018. While AIoT-based unmanned technology can help solve the problem of manpower shortages in the future, a question arises: will people accept this new technology for shopping? In view of this and based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study adds perceived risk as another variable to explore the impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitudes toward using unmanned technology etc. factors on the purchase intentions of consumers in unattended convenience stores. The study further employs SPSS software for reliability and validity analyses, descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) in order to explore the causal relationship among the variables herein. The main empirical findings show that consumers’ perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness positively affect consumers’ attitudes toward making purchases in X-Store, and via the moderating effect, perceived usefulness and attitudes toward X-Store consumption impact consumers’ behavioral intention of purchasing products in X-Store. In addition, perceived risk has a significant moderating effect on attitudes toward using X-Store and behavioral intentions. The empirical results also reveal that male consumers have significantly greater perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitudes toward using, and behavioral intentions in comparison with female consumers. Finally, this study presents conclusions and recommendations based on the research results as reference for unattended convenience store operators and follow-up researchers.

Most E-commerce transactions nowadays are electronically executed via well-known internet websites (Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, and others). Online sales in the Middle East, including Jordan, are estimated to count 2% of the overall retail sales, that is too much lower than the 15% in developed markets (Mehta & Bhandari, n.d.); and online sales in Jordan are still limited (Statista, 2020). Therefore, this study comes to determine the threats limiting E commerce in Jordan. The services sector accounts for about two thirds of the Jordanian economy and the insurance sector is considered an important component of it (Ghazal, 2015). The problem is to what extent threats from risks accompanied with E-commerce limit it from the viewpoint of Jordanian insurance companies’ employees. Five (5) insurance companies out of twenty-five (25) are randomly selected for analysis and a questionnaire is conducted according to a psychometric method for data collection. The results show that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived risk with products/services are the main effective factors for predicting transaction loss, while delay time is significantly affected by perceived ease of use and perceived risk with product/service. Policymakers can rely on the results of this study to avoid the risks facing online shopping in Jordan and enhancing it. This study contributes to the literature by reducing the dearth of previous research regarding the determinants of threats and risks limiting online shopping and E-commerce in emerging markets.
