<p>This study seeks to explore the factors that influence students’ usage behaviour of e-learning systems. Based on the strong theoretical foundation of the TAM, UTAM and using structural equation modeling (SEM) via AMOS 20.0, this research paper examines the impact of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, habit, social influence, and trust on student’s behavioural intention, which is later examined along with facilitating conditions on student’s usage behaviour of e-learning systems. Data was collected from students at two universities in Beirut (capital of Lebanon) using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey between January and March 2015. The results revealed direct positive effect of performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, habit, and trust on student’s behavioural intention to use e-learning explaining around 71% of overall behavioural intention. Meanwhile, behavioural intention and facilitating conditions accounted for 40% with strong positive effects on student’s usage behviour of e-learning systems. However, both effort expectancy and social influence did not impact student’s behavioural intention.</p>

Purpose This research aims to examine the factors that may hinder or enable the adoption of e-learning systems by university students. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework was developed through extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, habit, social influence, price value and facilitating conditions) by incorporating two additional factors, namely, trust and self-efficacy. Data were collected from students at two universities in England using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey between January and March 2015. Findings The results showed that behavioral intention (BI) was significantly influenced by performance expectancy, social influence, habit, hedonic motivation, self-efficacy, effort expectancy and trust, in their order of influencing the strength and explained 70.6 per cent of the variance in behavioral intention. Contrary to expectations, facilitating conditions and price value did not have an influence on behavioral intention. Originality/value The aforementioned factors are considered critical in explaining technology adoption but, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there has been no study in which all these factors were modeled together. Therefore, this study will contribute to the literature related to social networking adoption by integrating all these variables and the first to be tested in the UK universities.

The current era is called the information age, where humans really need information. The existence of the internet on smartphones makes it easier for humans to get information and enjoy content wherever and whenever. One of the content services in Indonesia is the MNC Group's RCTI + application. Although RCTI + is a new company, RCTI + has an active number of users of 302,569 until November 2019. RCTI + has a fairly high market share because the digital era is growing rapidly. This study measures the interest of users of RCTI + applications in Indonesia by using a modified UTAUT2 research model, where researchers analyze the variables Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, Habit, and Content on Behavioral Intention. The data used in this study were 89 valid respondents obtained online using a questionnaire. Respondents are users of the RCTI + application. Researchers used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software version 3.0 to test hypotheses. The results showed that Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Habit and Content had an influence on Behavioral Intention. However, Hedonic Motivations has a negative influence on Behavioral Intention. The Age variable as a moderator variable influences Content on Behavioral Intention, while Gender has no effect. This study resulted in an R2 of 0,900 and included in the moderate category. This research, has found that the variable that most influences Behavioral Intention is Habit.

Recently, Blockchain technology has attracted great attention in both private organisations and the public sector around the world. However, not many are aware and understand this new technology. Thus, lack of understanding of the Blockchain technology could influence the intention in adopting the technology. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to identify the behaviour intention towards adopting Blockchain Technology in the Malaysian Public Sector. Data were gathered using a questionnaire to analyse the relationship between factors such as Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions and Trust with Behavioural Intention to adopt Blockchain Technology. The data were gathered from 100 officers in various government department. The survey revealed that majority of the government officers are aware about the Blockchain technology. However, most of them have inadequate exposure and knowledge about the technology. Findings from the regression analysis found that Trust, Performance Expectancy and Social Influence positively and significantly influence the behaviour intention of government officers in adopting Blockchain technology. Meanwhile, Effort Expectancy and Facilitating Conditions were found not significant. The findings from this study suggest that it is essential to develop strategies to implement a suitable Blockchain application in the public sector. Prior to such implementation, it is imperative for government officers to be equipped with knowledge, skills and resources related to the Blockchain technology.

E-learning (EL) as a supporting tool in learning process has increasingly developed because the implementation of the tool will be helpful for both lecturers and students to be more interactive in delivering materials and to evaluate learning outcomes. Analysis of the user’s behavior was required to measure the success rate of the implementation of e-learning. One of the models used in the present study was Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The model was designed to explain the behavior of the users on the information technology. The main variable was behavioral intention with four elements namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions. Data were collected randomly from the students of vocational education, university of Halu Oleo by distributing questioners to the e-learner users. The data were then validated and analyzed using regression analysis. The results showed EL affected the behavioral intention, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of factors derived from the unified theory of user acceptance of technology (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, age, gender) and of those drawn from literature (perceived risk, perceived enjoyment and innovativeness) on the adoption of m-commerce in India. It also suggests implications of these for the consumer behavior theory practitioners and marketers.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using an online survey from 321 respondents, split into two groups (high and low adoption level users) based on the usage scores of the four categories of m-commerce- location-based, transaction-based, entertainment and content delivery. Logistic regression technique was used to identify the prominent factors among the nine identified influencers to understand the differences between the two groups.FindingsThe findings of this paper are sample biasness, self-reported m-commerce adoption level, limited m-commerce categories and specific context.Research limitations/implicationsExcept the two factors of performance expectancy and facilitating conditions, all other variables discriminate between low and high adoption levels of m-commerce services in India. Social influence, perceived enjoyment and innovativeness were the three main factors that were found to have the most significant impact on the discrimination levels of m-commerce service users in India. Further, it was found that women and the younger generation users of m-commerce showed a greater propensity for adopting m-commerce practices.Practical implicationsMarketers need to focus on key factors like social influence, perceived enjoyment, perceived risk and effort expectancy to persuade the young and innovative consumer target groups increase their adoption of m-commerce services.Originality/valueThis is the first study of its kind to explore factors that distinguish users with low and high levels of m-commerce adoption, by taking into consideration all four categories of m-commerce (transaction-based, content delivery, location-based and entertainment). In doing so, it highlights the need for marketers to focus on factors beyond facilitating conditions and performance expectancy, to enhance the adoption of m-commerce practices.

The rationale of this research is to analyse and observe the factors that persuade millennials’ acceptance, adoption and usage of e-banking services in the banking industry in India. This research used primary data gathered from millennials in India. The sampling technique used is judgment sampling. Statistical analysis is conducted using structural equation modeling. The study’s findings indicate that effort expectancy, trust, social influence, performance expectancy and perceived risk are the factors that impinge on millennials’ behavioural intention of e-banking. The study suggests that effort expectancy, trust, social influence and performance expectancy posit a positive association with the e-banking behavioural intention of millennials in India. On the contrary, perceived risk is in a negative association with the e-banking behavioural intention of the millennials. The study makes a novel contribution to the literature with reference to India, being a pioneer attempt to investigate the factors that affect e-banking acceptance by millennials in Indian banks by extending UTAUT with perceived risk and trust. The present study contributes to the literature on e-banking adoption in India by highlighting that trust plays a crucial role in Indian millennials’ intention to adopt e-banking technology in high-power distance country like India.

This paper examines the adoption of mobile applications for restaurant searches and/or reservations (MARSR) by users, as part of their experiential quality. Following an extended and expanded version of UTAUT-2, this research proposes eight determinants of intentions to use: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price-saving orientation, habit, social influence, and perceived credibility. The data were collected from Spanish users of MARSR applications (n = 1200), and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings confirm the need to extend and expand UTAUT-2 by incorporating perceived credibility and the social norm approach. The results gathered from SEM indicate that the drivers of intentions to use MARSR are, in order of impact: habit, perceived credibility, hedonic motivation, price-saving orientation, effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. Habit, facilitating conditions, and intentions to use are significantly related to use. Additionally, the moderating effects of gender, age, and experience were tested by means of a multi-group analysis. The users’ experience was seen to exert a moderating effect in some of the relationships hypothesized in the model, while gender and age did not play a significant role. The findings have both research and practical implications.

          This research aimed to study the types and influence of mindsets, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions on farmers' intention to adopt a technology. The research participants were 110 broiler farmers in livestock region 3. The research used a questionnaire to collect quantitative data and analyse the data using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation,  correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling with maximum likelihood estimation to analyse path coefficienct and structural relationships. The result showed that most of the participants have a growth mindset more than a fixed mindset. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions have directly affected boiler farmers' intention to adopt the technology. Effort expectancy has a total effect on attitude toward using technology. Interestingly, facilitating conditions have shown the most considerable influence on attitude toward adopting the technology. Mindsets have an influence on effort expectancy and facilitating conditions. HIGHLIGHTS Most broiler farmers in livestock region 3 possess a growth mindset than a fixed mindset Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions have direct effect on boiler farmers' intention to adopt the technology Mindsets influence farmers' perception of effort expectancy and facilitating conditions of adopting the technology
