Abstract
As the food delivery sector grows in importance, new delivery modes to address service issues, such as costs, swift delivery, and environmental concerns, are being researched. However, research on drone-based food delivery services is still lacking, especially in the Indian context, which the current study aims to address. The study furthered the UTAUT2 model with additional perceived risk and price sensitivity constructs. Quantitative, cross-sectional data was collected nationwide using convenience sampling through online survey questionnaires. The 323 responses were analyzed using the partial least square-structural equation modeling method. The results identified effort expectancy, social influence, and hedonic motivation as significant predictors of attitude and behavioral intention. In an emerging economy with a vast consumer base, this study may offer a preliminary standpoint for understanding the consumer perspective on drone food deliveries. The findings of this study might be necessary for businesses that deal with food delivery logistics as a point of view to formulate successful strategies.
