Tapping the Brakes: An Exploratory Survey of Consumers’ Perceptions of Autonomous Vehicles

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the difficulty in measuring consumer acceptance of emergent technologies where artificial intelligence is present in autonomous vehicles (AVs). Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as our theoretical lens, survey data of US adult consumers are used to better understand consumer acceptance of AVs. Results from Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) show that the certainty of product performance and interest are positively related to usage. Surprisingly, the relationship between two variables, internal locus of control and ease of use and usage, was not significant, which could be explained by AVs being self-driving and the ease of use therefore not being important in this context. Internal locus of control was negatively related to willingness to buy, and interest and usage were positively related to willingness to buy. Mediation analysis further explains these relationships. This research calls into question the TAM, long used as a measurement for the acceptance of information systems, as an acceptable model for measuring consumer acceptance where the intent is to purchase technology that contains artificial intelligence.

Factors influencing health information system acceptance: a cross-sectional study from a low-middle-income country.

The Avicenna unified Health Information System (HIS) was implemented by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in 2010 across government hospitals. Despite its potential, the acceptance of Avicenna HIS by healthcare providers remains unclear after 14 years of application. Understanding the factors that influence healthcare provider acceptance is essential for optimizing the system's success. We investigated factors affecting acceptance of Avicenna HIS among healthcare providers in Palestinian healthcare institutions, focusing on perceived usefulness, ease of use, human factors, technological factors, and organizational support. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Palestine Medical Complex (PMC) in Ramallah, West Bank, where the Avicenna HIS has been fully implemented since 2010. A systematic random sampling was used to select participants, resulting in 300 completed questionnaires. The study utilized a self-administered questionnaire adapted from a structured tool based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The questionnaire was validated through expert review and pilot testing, achieving a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86. Each selected healthcare provider was contacted face-to-face, and written informed consent was obtained before administering the questionnaire. A total of 300 questionnaires were completed and returned. The study sample included 178 males (59.3%) and 122 females (40.7%). The majority of participants was aged 20-39 years (270 participants, 90%) and held a bachelor's degree (250 participants, 83.3%). Nurses comprised the largest professional group (153 participants, 51.0%). High levels of perceived usefulness and ease of use were reported, both with mean scores of 4.511 (S.D. = 0.295). Technological factors had a mean score of 4.004 (S.D. = 0.228), while organizational factors scored 2.858 (S.D. = 0.304). Overall acceptance of the HIS was moderately high, with a mean score of 4.218 (S.D. = 0.387). Significant differences in perceived usefulness and ease of use were noted based on gender, age, and experience. This study concludes that both technological and human factors significantly influence the acceptance of HIS among healthcare providers in Palestine. To improve HIS adoption, it is recommended to enhance system functionality, ensure reliable data quality, and provide comprehensive training programs for healthcare providers.

Perceived Usefulness of a Mandatory Information System

This study examines the adoption and implementation of an information system in a mandatory context focusing on an Israeli governmental organization. The system referred to as “Slot” is an online platform for managing educational activities within this organization. The research investigates the impact of the system on its functionality users and the results of its usage. Additionally, the study explores factors that influence the acceptance and utilization of information systems, including whether the willingness to use the system under instruction depends on other variables. The key findings of this study are: perceived ease of use significantly and positively influences perceived usefulness; perceived usefulness significantly and positively affects symbolic adoption; and supervisor influence significantly and positively impacts perceived usefulness. Moreover, the relationship between perceived ease of use and symbolic adoption is entirely mediated by perceived usefulness as is the relationship between supervisor influence and symbolic adoption. The study’s limitations include the relatively small sample size and the specific context of the research, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Future research could explore similar models in different organizational settings to validate and extend the applicability of the results. The findings suggest that enhancing the perceived ease of use and usefulness of mandatory systems can significantly impact their symbolic adoption, with supervisory influence playing a crucial role in shaping user perceptions. These insights can inform strategies for more effective implementation and management of information systems in mandatory settings.

Determinants for the acceptance of emergency response information systems: Ethnographical insights into the digitalization of a voluntary fire department

Fire departments are one of the most versatile and widespread emergency management organizations. To support their digitalization, innovative firefighter information technologies such as emergency response information systems (ERIS) are suggested. Despite theoretical potentials like raised situation awareness, however, these technologies seem to disseminate only slowly in practice. As existing acceptance models cannot sufficiently explain the acceptance of novel technologies in this special domain, literature calls for increased contextualization. To get insights into the domain-specific acceptance factors, we conducted an ethnography and observed a voluntary fire department's multi-year project to introduce an ERIS. We identified seven factors, like revealing events and error management culture, which acted as triggers for different adoption stages. From overarching characteristics of a voluntary fire department, we derived six additional acceptance factors, like situational adaptability and self-determination. The identified factors can help firefighters in conducting successful digitalization projects, and policy makers in supporting voluntary emergency management organizations. Moreover, the results provide numerous avenues for future research, can be linked to various research fields and contextualize existing acceptance models. Beyond fire departments, the results may be transferred to similar high-reliability organizations.

Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID): Information Technology Adoption Based on Power Transmission

One of the most investigated topics in information systems (IS) has been the adoption of new technologies. While several models have been developed in the past ten years to address the acceptance or rejection of information systems, there is still a dearth of studies that provide a thorough analysis and classification of the literature in this field. Many functional gastrointestinal illnesses have been linked to potential treatments with electrical stimulation (FGID). An implanted electrical stimulation system with a transcutaneous power supply is presented in this research. The issue of providing an implanted electrical stimulator with prolonged power is resolved by this technology. Following implantation, the external controller can reprogram the stimulation parameters, which are subsequently communicated to the implanted stimulator. This would make it possible to do parametric research to find out how well different stimulation parameters work to encourage gastric contractions. Feedback on changes in the gastrointestinal tract can be received in real time via an internal stimulator pressure detector. The investigation provides academics and practitioners with insights and future directions on technology adoption by looking into related research works to gather data on IT adoption patterns. This paper outlines potential future research directions for scholars interested in pursuing studies on technology adoption. It also provides a summary of the major discoveries from earlier investigations, including statistical conclusions about variables that were added in IT adoption research.

Navigating autonomy and control in human-AI delegation: User responses to technology- versus user-invoked task allocation

Users can increasingly delegate to information systems (IS) – that is transferring rights and responsibilities regarding certain tasks – even to the degree that IS can act autonomously (i.e., without the intervention or supervision of users). What is more, IS increasingly offer to assume the rights and responsibilities for a task not only in response to user prompts (i.e., user-invoked delegation) but also without user prompts (i.e., IS-invoked delegation). Yet, little is known about whether, how, and why users agree to delegation when they are asked by the IS in contrast to when they self-initiate the delegation. Drawing on self-affirmation theory, we investigate user acceptance of IS- versus user-invoked delegation in two complementary online experiments in software development. Our core findings reveal that IS-invoked (vs. user-invoked) delegation increases users' perceived self-threat and thus decreases their willingness to accept delegation. This threatening effect is larger the less (vs. more) the user perceives control after the potential delegation. Taken together, we uncover defensive user responses to IS-invoked delegation. Furthermore, we shed light on the underlying and moderating mechanisms representing the reasons and contextual features that explain and mitigate these defensive measures. These findings have significant implications for IS designers seeking to improve user-IS collaboration and outcomes by employing IS-invoked delegation.

The influence of affinity on the continuance intention of local government information systems using the technology acceptance model

Affinity is precisely used for user acceptance of the local government information system (SIPD), which is a mandatory system. Affinity is capable of influencing users’ perceptions of interest and common interests, thereby encouraging users to continue using the SIPD system. This research aims to empirically test perceived affinity towards the continuance intention (CI) of using the SIPD by using technology acceptance model (TAM) constructs as mediating factors. A total of 100 respondents, who are active users of the SIPD in 24 districts/cities, participated in this study. Data collection was conducted using an online questionnaire. Data processing was performed using structural equation model (SEM) in the Smart PLS. The research results show that affinity significantly influences the CI of using the SIPD system, both directly and through the mediation of TAM constructs, namely perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Thus, this research provides an important contribution by demonstrating that affinity plays a relevant role and is suitable for implementation in mandatory systems like SIPD. By understanding user affinity, authorities can better comprehend users’ perceptions and attitudes, which in turn can help enhance the acceptance and sustainability of SIPD system usage in the South Sulawesi region.

Factors Influencing Consumers’ Acceptance of Smartphone Diet Applications: An Integrated Model

The rapid expansion of smartphone‐based diet applications has been driven by the growing prevalence of mobile technology among consumers and their diverse lifestyle preferences. This study seeks to analyze the factors influencing the use of these applications. The conceptual framework combines three models: the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2), the DeLone and McLean information system (IS) (D&M IS) success model, and the protection motivation model. Conducted in Saudi Arabia, the research employed a quantitative methodology with a survey questionnaire administered to 572 customers. The study, validated through partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM), identified several significant predictors for the intention to use smartphone diet applications. These include performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), price value (PV), IS, and service quality (SEQ), as well as perceived vulnerability and perceived severity. Contrary to expectations, factors like facilitating conditions (FCs) and hedonic motivation (HM) did not significantly impact behavioral intention. This pioneering study sheds light on the adoption of smartphone diet applications in an emerging economy, offering valuable insights for scholars, developers, and health professionals.

The User Acceptance Analysis of Information Systems at University’s Research Department Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

The transition from a conventional system to an information system-based one entails a greater investment of time from users to adapt. However, this process ultimately results in a better understanding and acceptance of information technology. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the degree of acceptance of information systems within the Department of Research and Community Service at XYZ University.

This finding indicates a strong correlation between the PU variable (X1) and the acceptance variable. Furthermore, the calculated rvalue for the relationship between PU (X1) and acceptance (Y) is 0.989, which exceeds the value in the rtable 0.254. Therefore, It can be inferred that a correlation exists between the PU variable (X1) also acceptance variable. Similarly, the calculated rvalue for PEU (X2) & Y : 0.991, It also exceeds the rtable value : 0.254, suggesting a correlation PEU variable (X2) and the acceptance variable (Y). It should be noted that the positive calculated r or Pearson correlations indicate a positive correlation between the variables. Therefore, it can be inferred that higher ease of use leads to greater acceptance.

Acceptability and use of the electronic community health information system and its determinants among health extension workers in Ethiopia: a retrospective cross-sectional observational study

BackgroundThe electronic community health information system has been increasingly developed and deployed to quantify and support quality health service delivery by community health workers in Ethiopia. However, the success and failure of the electronic community health information system depend on the acceptability and use by its users. This study assessed the acceptability and use of the electronic community health information system and its determinants among health extension workers in Ethiopia.MethodsA retrospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 587 randomly selected health extension workers from six regions of Ethiopia. The Revised Technology Acceptance Model was used as a theoretical framework for the study. Descriptive statistics, structural equation modeling, and principal component analysis techniques were used to analyze the data. For all significance tests, multiple comparison adjustments were made using the Bonferroni Correction Method.ResultsThere was near universal acceptance of the electronic community health information system, ranging from 94.4 to 97.4% among health extension workers. However, actual use of the system was considerably lower, at 50%. Perceived usefulness of the electronic community health information system had a direct and positive effect on acceptability (β3 = 0.415, p < 0.001). Perceived ease of use had both direct and indirect positive effects on electronic community health information system acceptability (β2 = 0.340, p < 0.001 and β1*β3 = 0.289, p < 0.001, respectively), while acceptability had a direct and positive effect on the use of the electronic community health information system (β3 = 0.297, p < 0.001).ConclusionsDespite the very high acceptability of the electronic community health information system among health extension workers, actual use of the system is considerably lower. Hence, an integrated and coordinated approach is required to close the acceptance-use gap.

Data Governance Model For Nation-Wide Non-Profit Organization

According to Connolly's (2017) research, the context of nonprofit organizations exhibits variations when compared to commercial organizations or businesses, as supported by Zhang's (2010) study. Hence, it is imperative for both theoretical and empirical studies to contribute towards enhancing our comprehension of the strategy, implementation, and utilization of information systems in the specific context of nonprofit organizations. The investigation of information systems within the context of non-profit organizations offers a promising avenue for advancing the field of information systems research. This study focuses on the development of an information systems framework using the soft systems methodology, which has already been established. One opportunity for the advancement of information systems in non-profit organizations lies in the establishment of a comprehensive framework that facilitates adoption and is accompanied by robust data governance. This framework enables the analysis of data and the generation of valuable insights, thereby contributing to the development of information systems in the non-profit sector. The choice of data governance was informed by Zhang's (2010) research, which demonstrated that non-profit organizations face significant obstacles in the form of privacy and data security concerns. Furthermore, it is apparent that the preservation of data privacy plays a crucial role in the acceptance and utilization of information systems within non-profit entities. This research aims to contribute to the resolution of the issue by establishing a governance framework for information systems that effectively communicates to users the absence of data privacy risks associated with the systems employed by organizations. The objective of this study is to create a data governance model that will fill the research gap mentioned earlier and make a valuable contribution to the field of information systems research. The formation of the data governance model will involve the integration of soft systems methodology and the DAMA framework. The outcome of this study will be a data governance model specifically designed for a nationwide non-profit organization that utilizes microservices as its cutting-edge technology.
