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.

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.

Despite the significant increase in telemedicine services technology, its adoption and use have been quite slow in some healthcare settings. It is generally accepted in today’s globalizing world that the success of telemedicine services relies on users’ satisfaction. Satisfying physicians and patients is one of the crucial objectives of telemedicine success. This study seeks to evaluate physicians’ satisfaction with telemedicine services adoption and utilization using the technology acceptance model. A structured questionnaire based on the construct of technology acceptance model was used to solicit for data from participants in four different government health institutions. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were employed to select healthcare professionals from various medical fields. Structural equation modeling was utilized in the data analysis. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of telemedicine services were found to influence physicians’ behavioral intentions. This resulted in increased efficiency, quality of services, quality patient care delivery, and satisfaction among physicians in using telemedicine services. We noted that the adoption of telemedicine services in clinical settings depends on physicians’ and patients’ satisfaction with the use of the service. The study contributes to empirical knowledge by identifying the vital predictive factors affecting telemedicine services satisfaction among physicians.

The ubiquitous application of smartphones and their advanced development have created an opportunity for using them as coding platforms. In this study, we compared between the use of personal computers (PCs) and smartphones to investigate the factors affecting the use of smartphones in programing. The behavioral intentions of smartphone end-users are inspired by the ease of use perception, enjoyment perception, programing anxiety, perception of external control, and smartphone design aesthetics. Although the [Formula: see text] value of the smartphone model was lower than that of the PC model, the end-users’ adoption decisions could have shifted toward accepting the use of smartphones for programing had their decisions been free of enforcement. In this study, design aesthetics and programing anxiety were introduced to Technology Acceptance Model 3 in an Arabic environment. Additionally, the model was creatively applied for guiding practitioners in two situations. First, when organizations are in the quest for emerging technology to replace the legacy technology, they might apply the presented side-by-side comparison of the use of PCs with that of smartphones in programing. Second, at a time when decision makers analyze what might hinder the adoption of a recently introduced technology, the model can be a successful hand tool guiding the top management in identifying technology acceptance interventions, an approach this research revealed. Furthermore, in this paper, the research implications and recommendations are presented for technology practitioners and designers.

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.
