This study investigated the factors that influence Ghanaian entrepreneurs to adopt e-commerce. Cross-sectional data was gathered from 520 entrepreneurs in the most populous and industrious regions in Ghana. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) was employed to effectively understand the unexplored phenomenon of e-commerce adoption among Ghanaian entrepreneurs. Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence (SI) positively and significantly influenced the behavioral intention (BI) to adopt e-commerce. Facilitating conditions (FC) and BI had a significant positive relationship with the adoption of e-commerce.

L’objectif de cette étude est d’identifier et d’analyser les déterminants technologiques de la persévérance dans les cours à distance de niveau collégial (n=61), issus du modèle Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Les résultats des analyses par équations structurelles (Partial Least Square) indiquent que parmi ces derniers déterminants, seulement les conditions facilitantes ont un impact significatif et positif sur l’intention comportementale d’utiliser les technologies des cours à distance (R2=54%) définie comme l’intention de l’étudiant de réaliser ce comportement, qui a son tour a un effet significatif et positif sur la persévérance, définie par l’intention de finir le cours à distance auquel l’étudiant est inscrit (R2=14,2%) et par l’intention de s’inscrire dans le futur dans d’autres cours à distance (R2=65%). Les analyses des ANOVA font ressortir des différences significatives entre les groupes d’étudiants assignés à des modalités différentes de cours à distance sur tous les facteurs technologiques laissant présager que des analyses différenciées, selon la modalité de cours, devraient être envisagées dans le futur. This study aims to identify and analyze the technological determinants of persistence in college distance education courses (N=61), derived from the Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. The results of the structural equation analyses (Partial Least Square) revealed that among these determinants, only facilitating conditions have a significant and positive impact on the behavioural intention to use distance learning technologies (R2 = 54%) defined as the student’s intention to display this behaviour. Moreover, behavioral intention to use distance learning technologies has a significant and positive effect on persistence, defined as the intention to finish the distance education course in which the student is enrolled (R2 = 14.2 %) and the intention to enroll in other distance education courses in the future (R2 = 65%). The ANOVA analyses revealed significant differences between the groups of students assigned to different courses delivery modes on all the technological factors, suggesting that differentiated analyses, depending on the course delivery mode, should be performed in the future.

This study investigates the linkages between the antecedents of the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model and an individual demographics in four developing countries in Southeast Europe. Three unexplored linkages are introduced, such as employment status, living settlement and financial experience. The article applies the partial least square and non-parametric methods to examine the proposed associations from a dataset of 959 individuals. Evidence reveals that those individuals who are employed, live in urban areas, and have financial experience scored higher in the UTAUT2 constructs. The article suggests the inclusion of additional moderating factors into the UTAUT2 model, which gives a better understanding of the individuals’ technology adaption to scholars and practitioners.

PurposeAlthough several different learning technologies have been integrated into the face-to-face (F2F) learning approach, the effective implementation of mobile learning (m-learning) is still at an early stage. This may be due to the lack of understanding factors that affect learners' acceptance of m-learning.Design/methodology/approachConsidering the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical background, this research investigates m-learning adoption in Saudi Arabia. The research framework extends the UTAUT by including intrinsic motivation, mobile learning self-efficacy and perceived satisfaction. A total of 200 higher education students voluntarily participated in the research. The application of the partial least square technique indicated that the proposed model can predict m-learning adoption adequately in Saudi Arabia (R2 = 0.73.8).FindingsThe research outcomes are significant for educational institutions and teachers to implement m-learning effectively. Many recommendations can be suggested to help enhance learners' willingness to adopt m-learning technology: Teachers need to design their courses in an interactive way and provide several different activities to ensure that learners obtain real benefits in their learning outcomes. When learners have positive perceptions about the use of this technology in the learning process, such perceptions should be supported by providing beneficial courses.Originality/valueThis research examines the effectiveness of the extended UTAUT to predict m-learning adoption in Saudi Arabia higher education. This could provide a significant contribution to the existing evidence about the validity of the model in different learning cultures and contexts.

Information technology has made mobile banking easy, convenient and accessible to 178 million unique mobile subscribers base in Indonesia. Out of this 50 million are smartphone users and collectively about 132 million are internet users . This rising trend has been forcing 120 commercial banks  in the country to ramp up their mobile-based banking initiatives. However, in contrast to it, only 50 million have bank accounts out of 250 million Indonesian population size . This poses a few challenges to digital adoption using mobile as medium, especially when a limited number of people have bank accounts and the cost of internet is high due to geographical, infrastructural spread and cost barriers. The purpose of this study is to unearth such factors that have - direct or indirect - influence on consumer acceptance for mobile banking applications. This research model examines 205 respondents from online surveys in Jabodetabek, Indonesia. To conduct this study, we have used Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model that helps in understanding perceived credibility and perceived self-efficacy variables and their roles in influencing the adoption for m-banking. Data was analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The findings suggest that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence have a significant effect on behavioral intention. Performance expectancy is the factor that mostly influences behavior intention. It can also be stated that behavioral intention, facilitating condition and habit – all of these have a significant effect on reuse behavior.

Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a very significant role in the economy, can even be said to be the backbone of the economy. However, MSMEs are precisely the sector hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Digitalization creates new opportunities for MSMEs in the pandemic. FinTech, one of the implementations of digitalization should be pursued to be used by MSMEs. Using path analysis processed using Partial Least Square (PLS), this research aims to identify how Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) works on Adopting FinTech by MSMEs. The Outer Model and Inner Model reflect that the model work. The outer loading value of ? 0.7, AVE value ? of 0.5, Cronbach's Alpha ? 0,70, a correlation value ? of 0.50; and Composite Reliability ? 0.6, and R-Square 0.716 reflect it. However, regarding the factors that influence intention to use, it is different from previous research that became a reference. There are only four hypotheses proven. Those are Context had a significant positive effect on Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness, and Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness had a significant positive effect on the intention to use fintech. Keywords: FinTech, MSMEs, Digitalization, UTAUT, Inclusive
