The e-readers, devices designed primarily for reading electronic books (e-books) are a recent innovation that is being spread rapidly. Studies on the factors that affecting its adoption are scarce. The descriptive study tests empirically the new version of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT 2), on the behavioral intention to use e-readers. Data collection was done thr...

When it comes to mobile communication technology, China is the largest market in the world. However, due to its rapidly changing economic environment causing disparities between geographical regions, it presents unique marketing problems. In order to attain a better understanding of China as a potentially highly valuable mobile communication technology market, we conducted a survey of 221 Chine...

IoT is considered a next generation digital revolution to connect things with an embedded system to the Internet. The IoT technology is reshaping how people access information; IoT products and services will be a significant part of consumer infrastructure of smart retailing, smart homes, and smart cities, which will change consumers’ lives and their behaviors (Dutton, 2014; Brody and Pureswara...

BACKGROUND Healthcare and social care environments are increasingly confronted with older persons with long-term care needs. Consequently, the need for integrated and coordinated assessment systems increases. In Belgium, feasibility studies have been conducted on the implementation and use of interRAI instruments offering opportunities to improve continuity and quality of care. However, the dev...

Abstract—The proliferation in the development of mobile learning (m-learning) has played a vital role in the rapidly growing electronic learning market. This relatively new technology can help to encourage the development of in learning and to aid knowledge transfer a number of areas, by familiarizing students with innovative information and communications technologies (ICT). M-learning plays a...

Electronic Library Systems (ELS) has become an inevitable part of educational institutions. Though millions of dollars are spent building and developing these systems, research findings indicates that millions of potential users may still be ignoring them. Consequently, different Technology Acceptance Models have been applied towards understanding the effect of various factors on end users acce...

in Native language Dit artikel beschrijft een nieuwe kader voor onderzoek naar acceptatie van technologie. Drie niveaus worden beschouwd; persoonlijkheid, overtuigingen over technologie in het algemeen en overtuigingen aangaande een specifieke technologie. Het nieuwe kader word getest gebruik makend van respectievelijk het Five Factor-model, TRI en UTAUT.

In recent years, consumer research has used different models to find the variables that help consumers make decisions as to whether to adopt a new technology or not. Some of the more popular models used for this purpose are: Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Innovations Diffusion Theory, among others. Recently, Venkatesh, M...

E-learning systems and technologies are playing an increasing role in different educational environments around the world. The acceptance of such technologies is tested with different models that use different criteria. Among them, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is one of the more studied theories, but its validity should still be tested in e-learning environment...

Following an empirical investigation among 244 respondents in India, the paper deploys path analysis via LISREL. The conceptual construction of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework is used to assess the behavioral intention to use and accept OGD. Multiple regression analysis informs the relationship of demographic variables with the behavioral intention to use an...
