Purpose of this paper is to identify factors influencing the intention to use and develop a model for measuring the intention to use public e-participation services. As a added value, paper is examining the structure of needs for different levels of public e-participation services. As for the methodology, this paper provides an empirical evaluation of Davis's Technology Acceptance Model extended with non-technical constructs of the Planned Behavior Theory and Trust Model. Validity and hypotheses of the newly proposed multidimensional structural model were tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. PLS-SEM research results significantly confirmed three out of seven hypotheses. There is a positive and statistically significant correlation between “Expected usefulness”, “Expected behaviour control” and “Trust in the Internet” with the intention to use public e-participation services (p<0.05). Concerning demand-side, research results demonstrate that the majority of the respondents prefers public e-participation services of a higher level of complexity.

Smart home services (SHSs) afford users an effective lifestyle management system, which provides human-oriented networking of smart devices and applications that enable users to control their homes from anywhere at any time. Despite the benefits of SHSs, however, their acceptance is very low. There remains a gap in the literature in terms of a comprehensive model that addresses users’ intention to use SHSs. To address this gap, the present study explored the factors that influence SHS acceptance among users based on well-established theoretical frameworks, such as the technology acceptance model, innovation diffusion theory, and the theory of planned behavior. To this end, the study integrated four additional factors, namely, perceived convenience, perceived connectedness, perceived cost, and perceived privacy risk, into the exploration and carried out structural equation modeling to quantitatively determine the effects of these factors. Questionnaires were administered to 750 users. The findings indicated that perceived compatibility, perceived convenience, perceived connectedness, perceived cost, perceived behavioral control with perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use directly and indirectly exerted a significant influence on users’ intention to use SHSs.

Purpose This paper aims to explore the determinants of intention to use Islamic banking and compare the consumer behavior of users and non-users of Islamic banking. This study incorporates the theory of planned behavior in Islamic banking perspective with an additional construct from technology acceptance model. Design/methodology/approach The research is quantitative in nature, and survey questionnaire was used to get data from four cities of Pakistan. The study manages to get 300 questionnaires from which only 264 were usable for analysis. The structural equation modeling was used for testing the hypotheses. Findings The result shows that perceived behavior control and perceived usefulness are the most significant predictors of intention to use of Islamic banking among users and non-users. Attitude turns out to be a non-significant factor for non-users of Islamic banking. Subjective norm is also found to be non-significant with intention to use Islamic banking in both groups. Originality/value This study has theoretical as well as practical significance in the subject of consumer behavior in Islamic banking. Theoretically, it attempts to fill the gap caused by the scarcity of research in exploring the consumer behavior towards Islamic banking in Pakistan. This study provides insights into the consumer behavior of users and non-users of Islamic banking and thus presents a comparison. Practically, this study provides guidelines for Islamic banks in introduction, propagation and promotion of Islamic banking products and services to establish Islamic banking as a social norm.

PurposeVoice-activated smart speakers such as Amazon Echo and Google Home were recently developed and are gaining popularity. Understanding and theorizing the underlying mechanisms that encourage or impede consumers to use smart speakers is fundamental for enhancing acceptance and future development of these new devices. Therefore, building on technology acceptance research, this study aims to develop and test an acceptance model for investigating consumers’ intention to use smart speakers.Design/methodology/approachFirst, antecedents that may significantly affect the usage intention of smart speakers were identified through an explorative approach by a netnographic analysis of customer reviews (N= 2,186) and Twitter data (N= 899). Afterward, these results and contemporary literature were used to develop and validate an acceptance model for smart speakers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed hypotheses on data collected from 293 participants of an online survey.FindingsBesides perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, the quality and diversity of a system, its enjoyment, consumer’s technology optimism and risk (surveillance anxiety and security/privacy risk) strongly affect the acceptance of smart speakers. Among these variables, enjoyment had the strongest effect on behavioral intention to use smart speakers.Originality/valueThis is the first study that incorporates netnography and SEM for investigating technology acceptance and applies it to the field of interactive smart devices.

This short paper reports the findings of a study exploring English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students’ behavioral intention to use a high-immersion Virtual Reality (VR) system for learning paragraph structure. The study measured relationships between variables that may lead to learners’ intention to use the high-immersion VR Reality system through leveraging a hypothesized theoretical framework based upon a widely used technology acceptance model. Quantitative data were collected from 134 Sino-British English as a medium of instruction by university undergraduate students enrolled in EAP classes by means of a post-participation questionnaire. A Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) exploratory analysis was executed. Results suggested that students’ intention to use the high-immersion VR learning environment was primarily determined by its usefulness for learning and not how easy it was to use. Furthermore, the degree to which the learners felt confident in their ability to operate the system had a large impact on how easy they perceived it was to use. And finally, the antecedent conditions of learners had little impact on the students’ perceived usefulness of the VR system.

BACKGROUND Electronic health (e-health) is becoming a prominent component of the health care system. The implementation and sustainable adoption of e-health systems is now taking as a big agenda in developing countries like Ethiopia, hence it all about saving a millions of lives. Even though there are some pilot e-health implementations, the success and sustainability of the systems are found less than the expected. So, this study aims to fill the gap in identifying the factors affecting sustainable adoption of e-health systems using the revised technology acceptance model at five referral hospitals of Amhara regional state of Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE To identify the factors affecting sustainable adoption of e-health systems using the revised technology acceptance model at five referral hospitals of Amhara regional state of Ethiopia. METHODS Institutional based cross-sectional study design was conducted among a total of 384 health care professionals. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. And the data were entered and the descriptive data were analyzed using Epi-info version 7 and SPSS version 20 respectively. Structural equation modeling, using AMOS 22, was also used to measure and clarify the degree of relationships between variables. RESULTS The findings of the structural equation modeling (SEM) indicates that perceived usefulness has significance influence on attitude (β =0.29, P<0.01) and intention to use e-health (β =0.38, P<0.01); technical infrastructure has significance influence on attitude (β =0.41, P<0.01) and intention to use e-health (β =0.34, P<0.01); staffs IT experience has significance influence on attitude (β =0.26, P<0.05); security concerns of a system has significance influence on attitude (β =0.34, P<0.05) and intention to use e-health (β =0.33, P<0.01); and attitude has also significance influence on intention to use e-health (β =0.52, P<0.01), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Electronic health system implementers and executives in resource limited settings are in urgent need of adoption models to design proper implementation strategies. The constructs; perceived usefulness, technical infrastructure, staffs IT experience, security concerns and attitude portrayed in the revised TAM model were found with a strong positive relationship with the dependent variable, intention to use e-health. Therefore, the implementers should give a priority in enhancing technical infrastructures of the organizations, staffs IT skill, and their attitude towards e-health by giving continuous support.
