BACKGROUND Unbalanced distribution of medical resources is becoming a big challenge, particularly in selecting doctors. E-consultation could provide patients with more choices of doctors and break out the constraints of time and space. But the acceptance of e-consultation is still poor and the mechanism of adoption is unclear. OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify the factors influencing the public intention to use e-consultation and explore the effect path of factors and behavior intention. METHODS The hypotheses of our research model were developed based on technology acceptance model and perceived risk theory. A Web-based survey was conducted by a electric questionnaire collection platform and the 29 items questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales were completed by 934 respondents. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Item evaluation and reliability, validity, path loading, goodness of fit, and multiple-group analysis were used to check moderation effects. RESULTS Standardized factor loadings of items were between 0.551 and 0.873. Composite reliability of 9 constructs ranged from 0.706 to 0.840. Average variance extracted ranged from 0.387 to 0.640. The fitness indices showed that the collected data fitted well with the research model. Perceived usefulness was the strongest positive factor effecting behavior intention (β=0.399, P<.001). Perceived ease of use had a positive effect on behavior intention but it is not statistically significant (β=0.117, P=.066), and had a positive effect on perceived usefulness (β=0.537, P<.001). Perceived risk could be well explained by financial risk (β=0.972, P<.001), privacy risk (β=0.774, P<.001), social risk (β=0.871, P<.001), time risk (β=0.894, P<0.001), and psychological risk (β=0.774, P<.001). Perceived risk had negative effects on perceived usefulness (β=-0.375, P<.001) and behavior intention (β=-0.297, P<.001). Personal innovativeness had a positive influence on perceived ease of use (β=0.241, P<.001) and a slight effect on behavior intention (β=0.124, P=.001). Age(χ2=133.457, P<.001) and usage experience(χ2=82.495, P=.019) had a slight moderation effect on the paths. CONCLUSIONS Perceived usefulness and perceived risk have significant effects on public intention to use e-consultation. Therefore, platform and manufacturer must improve the function of e-consultation, which will promote the public intention to use e-consultation fundamentally. In order to control the perceived risk of public, government should play an important role in enforcing management of e-consultation markets and approving corresponding medical insurance policies. Besides, personal innovativeness had an effect on behavior intention. And the paths of factors had some heterogeneity among different characteristic people. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the strategies to fit more groups better. CLINICALTRIAL

The rapid growth of investment in information technologt by orgoniza tions worldwide has made user acceptance an increasingly criticol technologt implementation and *orogr*rnt issues. User"icceptance has received fairly extensive attention from previous studies, particularly those involving dffirent technologies, user populations, and/or organizationalcontexts. The Technologt Acceptance Model @M is amongmost influential research models to determine information systems/information technologt use. The objective of thk study is to assess the TAM in world-wide-web usage. Data were collected from 127 undergraduate accounting students in Duta Wacana Christian (Jniversity-Yogyakarta and were tested using the structural equation modeling approach. The results of the study showed that, even though goodness of fit the model is not very well, there are significant coruelations among the perceived ease of use variable against perceived usefulness andattitude variable, perceived usefulness variable against attitude and behavior intention to use, attitude variable against behavior intention to use, and behavior intention to use variable against behavior to use. Implications of the future research areos ore discussed.Keywords: Perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, behavior intention to use, behavior to use, TAM, SEM.

This study aims to examine the factors influencing consumers' behavior intention to adopt mobile banking apps. The research uses the TAM model with additional variables such as social influence and perceived risk to evaluate how these factors impact the behavior intention of young customers toward adopting mobile banking services. PLS-SEM was used as the main research method. The findings from this paper reaffirmed that perceived usefulness and social influence are the most influential factor in behavior intention, but perceived ease of use and perceived risk showed insignificant impacts on young consumers' behavior intention in Vietnam. This paper also found that perceived ease of use had no direct impact on behavior intention but an indirect impact through facilitating perceived usefulness. This subject makes a practical and academic contribution in the context of a developing country where is lacking research in mobile banking apps.

Purpose Global digital payment transactions increase continuously. Due to the inconsistencies that occurred across the research findings, past researchers have called for further investigation to verify and empirically test the mobile payment acceptance model. The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrative model that is derived from the multiple technology acceptance models (TAM)’s a theoretical framework and past literature to understand how consumers decided to adopt mobile payment. By simultaneously testing mechanisms, namely, ease of use, usefulness and risk, the current study will be able to advance scholarly knowledge of the underlying consumer’s attitude and behavior that link social influence to intention to use. Design/methodology/approach A total of 370 valid responses were collected using self-administered questionnaires distributed via online platforms, a representative for Thai consumers. An ordinary least square regression and bootstrap analyzes were conducted through PROCESS Macro to analyze the moderated serial-multiple mediation model in the consecutive inducing of social influence, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and perceived risk toward the consumer’s intention to use mobile payment. Findings Within the context of consumers evaluating a mobile payment, statistics significant were found for the hypothesized direct and indirect effects of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on an intention to use. The results showed that Thai consumers’ intention to use mobile payment was significantly affected by their attitudes in terms of usefulness and the less complication in using the applications. It is confirmed that social influence indirectly affects intention to use via the increase of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The study also found a significant interaction between perceived risk and perceived usefulness toward intention to use. Practical implications It is recommended to service providers to continue improving the user-friendliness, navigation, integrity and furnish the system with more value-added activities within the mobile payment application. It is also essential for the company to deliver tutorials and clear and easy-to-follow instructions to customers. At the same time, the marketer should develop marketing strategies to promote the usefulness and simplicity of using the applications to the consumers. When consumers experienced the easiness and usefulness of the applications, these could overcome the resistance feeling to use due to the concern on any potential risk. Originality/value The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on consumer usage behavior and TAM by integrating all important variables and developed a parsimony framework to explain consumers’ usage adoption on mobile payment. Moreover, the current study was the very first that proposed and tested a serial of multiple mediations of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, moderated by perceived risk, in the relationship between social influence and consumers’ intention to use mobile payment and discovered a moderating role of perceived risk toward the relationship between perceived usefulness and mobile payment usage intention.

Governments are seeking to benefit from information technology by incorporating various government services online for the benefits of the citizen. The Malaysian government as part of its Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) project introduced e-filing in 2006, which is the process of filing taxes using the Internet as one of the e-government services. This is an exploratory study to model the determinants of intention to use an Internet tax filing system. The authors used 4 variables as predictors or intention to use which were perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risk, and facilitating condition. Data was collected from 100 respondents using non probability purposive sampling via a structured questionnaire. As hypothesized, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and facilitating condition were positively related to intention to use. The findings show that perceived usefulness has the strongest influence on intention to use (ß = 0.341), followed by perceived ease of use (ß = 0.278) and facilitating condition (ß = 0.234). As hypothesized, perceived risk was negatively related (ß =-0.223) to intention to use indicating that users are concerned by the risk involved in filing taxes online. The regression results show that the four variables can explain 52.2% of the variation in intention to use which indicates good explanatory power. Understanding these factors can extend the knowledge, which can lead to better planning and implementation of e-Filing in Malaysia.

All dimensions of corporate experience in technology development, therefore the management has to be resourceful and scrupulous to take notice of the latest technological developments as part of efforts to optimize the expected performance and progress. One proof of current information technology advancement is the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP). The results of this research showed an effect of perceived ease of use to perceived usefulness is 72,9% (R 2 = 0,531, t = 12,882) , the perceived ease of use to attitude toward using is 60,1% (R 2 = 0,702, t = 8,927) , the perceived usefulness to attitude toward using is 29,1% (R 2 = 0,702, t = 3,564) , the attitude toward using of behavioral intention to use is 74,1% (R 2 = 0,549, t = 14,778) , and the behavioral intention to use the system to actual system use is 36,2% (R 2 = 0,131, t = 4,603). This research proves that the user acceptance of a technology strongly influenced by perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness which are emerging acceptances and then behavior intention to use where as to reveal the using of a real system in the intensity of usage time

Purpose – Little is known about the adoption of mobile banking technologies in emerging Asian economies. The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the motivators that influence a consumer’s intentions to use mobile banking. Design/methodology/approach – A web-based survey was employed to collect data from 348 respondents, split across Thailand and Australia. Data were analysed by employing exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, path and invariance analyses. Findings – The findings indicate that for Australian consumers, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived risk (PR) were the primary determinants of mobile banking adoption. For Thai consumers, the main factors were PU, PR and social influence. National culture was found to impact key antecedents that lead to adoption of m-banking. Research limitations/implications – The actual variance explained by the study’s model was higher in Australia (59.3 per cent) than for Thailand (23.8 per cent), suggesting future research of m-banking adoption in emerging Asian cultures. Practical implications – The authors identify the important factors consumers consider when adopting m-banking. The findings of this research give banking organisations a foundational model that can be used to support m-banking implementation. Originality/value – The study is perhaps the first to examine and compare the intention to adopt m-banking across Thai and Australian consumers, and responds to calls for additional research that generalises m-banking and m-services acceptance across cultures. This study has proposed and validated additional constructs that are not present in the original SST Intention to Use model.

The study has aimed to investigate the factors affecting university students’ attitude toward intention to use social media for learning. This study embraced a cross-sectional approach and gathered quantitative data via a Google form survey, which was collected by using social media platforms, from a total of 720 respondents. The hypotheses were tested using the partial least squares (PLS) method. The study found that social media literacy, perceived ease of use, perceived behavioral control, and perceived risk has significant positive influence on users’ attitude to use social media, while ICT facility and perceived usefulness has no significant impact on attitude. Users’ attitude has a significant relationship with their intention to use social media for learning. The users’ attitude was also found to successfully mediate the relationship of social media literacy, perceived ease of use, perceived behavioral control, and perceived risk with intention to use social media. Social media literacy and perceived risk have been measured as an influential construct since it is unreasonable to anticipate the correlation between social media literacy and perceived risk dimensions in social media.
