BACKGROUND With the rise in the use of information and communication technologies in health care, there has been a push for patients to accept more responsibility for their health and well-being using eHealth tools such as personal health records (PHRs). PHRs support patient-centered care and patient engagement. To support the achievement of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions, the National Transformation program provides a framework to use PHRs in meeting the triple aim for health care – increased access, reduced cost, and improved quality of care – and to provide patient- and person-centered care. However, there has been limited research on PHR uptake within the country. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify predictors of patient intention to utilize the Ministry of National Guard-Health Affairs (MNG-HA) PHR (MNGHA Care) using an adapted model of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as the theoretical framework. METHODS This cross-sectional study utilized a survey developed based on the UTAUT to measure behavioral intention to use MNGHA Care among adults visiting MNG-HA facilities in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah, Al Ahsa, and Qassim. The main theory constructs performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and positive attitude toward using the PHR were collected as independent variables. Age, gender, experience with health applications, and health status were tested as moderators between the main theory constructs and behavioral intention using hierarchical multiple regression. RESULTS Of the eligible population, a total of 261 adult patients were included in the analysis with a mean age of 35.07 years (± 9.61), male (n=132, 50.6%), university-educated (n=118, 45.2%), and at least one chronic medical condition (n=139, 53.3%). The model explained 48.9% of the variance in behavioral intention to use the PHR (P=.377). Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and positive attitude were significantly associated with behavioral intention to use the PHR (P<.05). Prior experience with health applications moderated the relationship between social influence and behavioral intention to use the PHR (P=.043). CONCLUSIONS This research contributes to the existing literature on PHR adoption broadly as well as in the context of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Understanding which factors are associated with patient adoption of PHRs can guide future development and support the country’s aim of transforming the health care system. Similar to other studies on PHR adoption, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and positive attitude are important factors, and practical consideration should be given to how support these areas.

Behavioral Intention To Use

Business simulation games (BSGs) are educational tools that help students develop business management knowledge and skills. However, to date, relatively little research has investigated the factors that influence students’ BSG usage intention. Grounded on the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, this study helped to fill this gap by exploring intention to use BSGs. Specifically, this study investigated the influence of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and price value on behavioral intention to use BSGs. Data collected from 141 useful respondents were tested against the research model using partial least square approach. The results of this study indicated that behavioral intention to use BSGs was influenced by facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and price value. Unexpectedly, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence were not predictive of students’ behavioral intention to use BSGs. These findings enhanced our understanding of students’ BSG usage behavior and provided several important theoretical and practical implications for the application of BSG in the context of business and management education.

The Impact

The intent of this paper is to research the factors that determine students’ acceptance of mobile assisted language learning (MALL) in Morocco. This study emphasizes the inclusive character of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). After careful assessment of the multiple relationships within UTAUT, a modified version of the theory was hypothesized then researched for the impact it has on the English as Foreign Language (EFL) context in Morocco. The technology acceptance model in this paper emphasized four directions connecting performance expectancy, effort expectancy, teacher feedback and compatibility to behavioral intention, also referred to as the determinants of behavioral intention to use MALL. For the purpose of this study, a technology enhanced environment was created. A total number of 156 EFL common core students were brought to interact on a WhatsApp-based platform by means of text-messaging. The WhatsApp treatment was optimized to synchronize with the institutionalized character of the teaching of English in Moroccan public schools. The questionnaire method was used for data collection. The data were screened for missingness, normality and outliers. Then, multiple reliability and validity tests were performed to substantiate the legitimacy of the dataset. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used in the assessment of the measurement model and the structural model. The outputs of structural modelling corroborated the hypothesized directions connecting teacher feedback and compatibility to behavioral intention to use MALL while there was lack of support for the relationships linking performance expectancy and effort expectancy to behavioral intention to use MALL.

Behavioral Intention To Use

BACKGROUND Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) carries a huge health and economic cost to society. Effective interventions exist but numerous challenges limit their adoption, especially in a pandemic context. AUD recovery apps (AUDRA) have emerged as a potential complement to in-person interventions. They are easy to access and show promising results in terms of efficacy. However, they rely on individual adoption decision and remain underused. OBJECTIVE The aim of this survey study is to explore the beliefs that determine the intention to use AUDRA. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey study of people suffering from AUD. We used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, which predicts use and behavioral intention to use based on performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions. Participants were recruited directly from two sources: first, respondents at addiction treatment facilities in Ontario, Canada were contacted in person and filled a paper form; second, members from AUD recovery support groups on social media were contacted and invited to fill an online sruvey. The survey was conducted between October 2019 and June 2020. RESULTS The final sample was comprised of 159 participants (124 online and 35 paper based) self-identifying somewhat or very much with AUD. Most participants (85.5%) were aware of AUDRA and those participants scored higher on performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence. Overall, the model explains 35.4% of the variance in behavioral intention to use AUDRA and 11.1% of the variance in use. Social influence (p-value 0.314), especially for women (p-value 0.227) and effort expectancy (p value 0.247) were key antecedents of behavioral intention. Facilitating conditions was not significant overall but was moderated by age (p value 0.231) suggesting that it matters for older participants. Performance expectancy did not predict behavioral intention, which is unlike many other technologies but confirms other findings with mhealth. Open-ended questions suggest that privacy concerns may play a significant role for AUDRA. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that unlike many other technologies, the adoption of AUDRA is not mainly determined by utilitarian factors such as performance expectancy. Rather, effort expectancy and social influence play a key role in determining the intention to use AUDRA.

BACKGROUND The advancement of wearable devices and growing demand of consumers to monitor their own health have influenced the medical industry. Health care providers, insurers, and global technology companies intend to develop more wearable devices incorporating medical technology and to target consumers worldwide. However, acceptance of these devices varies considerably among consumers of different cultural backgrounds. Consumer willingness to use health care wearables is influenced by multiple factors that are of varying importance in various cultures. However, there is insufficient knowledge of the extent to which social and cultural factors affect wearable technology acceptance in health care. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to examine the influential factors on the intention to adopt health care wearables, and the differences in the underlying motives and usage barriers between Chinese and Swiss consumers. METHODS A new model for acceptance of health care wearables was conceptualized by incorporating predictors of different theories such as technology acceptance, health behavior, and privacy calculus based on an existing framework. To verify the model, a web-based survey in both the Chinese and German languages was conducted in China and Switzerland, resulting in 201 valid Chinese and 110 valid Swiss respondents. A multigroup partial least squares path analysis was applied to the survey data. RESULTS Performance expectancy (β=.361, <i>P</i>&lt;.001), social influence (β=.475, <i>P</i>&lt;.001), and hedonic motivation (β=.111, <i>P</i>=.01) all positively affected the behavioral intention of consumers to adopt wearables, whereas effort expectancy, functional congruence, health consciousness, and perceived privacy risk did not demonstrate a significant impact on behavioral intention. The group-specific path coefficients indicated health consciousness (β=.150, <i>P=</i>.01) as a factor positively affecting only the behavior intention of the Chinese respondents, whereas the factors affecting only the behavioral intention of the Swiss respondents proved to be effort expectancy (β=.165, <i>P</i>=.02) and hedonic motivation (β=.212, <i>P</i>=.02). Performance expectancy asserted more of an influence on the behavioral intention of the Swiss (β=.426, <i>P</i>&lt;.001) than the Chinese (β=.271, <i>P</i>&lt;.001) respondents, whereas social influence had a greater influence on the behavioral intention of the Chinese (β=.321, <i>P</i>&lt;.001) than the Swiss (β=.217, <i>P</i>=.004) respondents. Overall, the Chinese consumers displayed considerably higher behavioral intention (<i>P</i>&lt;.001) than the Swiss. These discrepancies are explained by differences in national culture. CONCLUSIONS This is one of the first studies to investigate consumers’ intention to adopt wearables from a cross-cultural perspective. This provides a theoretical and methodological foundation for future research, as well as practical implications for global vendors and insurers developing and promoting health care wearables with appropriate features in different countries. The testimonials and support by physicians, evidence of measurement accuracy, and easy handling of health care wearables would be useful in promoting the acceptance of wearables in Switzerland. The opinions of in-group members, involvement of employers, and multifunctional apps providing credible health care advice and solutions in cooperation with health care institutions would increase acceptance among the Chinese.

This study is an attempt to fill the research gap associated with the factors that have influence with the adoption of artificial intelligence in human resources information systems on HR-leaders intention to use it. It empirically investigates the influences that trust, technological readiness, facilitating condition and performance expectancy on HR-professional’s behavioral intention to use AI in HRM. Besides, examine the moderating effect of age and experience on the proposed associations. Data were collected from by online questionnaire from 185 HR managers. A structural framework was introduced to test the relationship between study latent variables. Result exhibited that trust and performance expectancy has a significant influence on HR-professionals behavioral intention to use AI-HRIS. Trust and technological readiness showed a significant influence on HR-professionals performance expectancy of using AI-HRIS. While facilitating condition, organizational size and technological readiness did not show a significant influence on HR-professionals behavioral intention toward using AI-HRIS. Lastly, Age and Experience did not have a moderating effect on trust and performance expectancy association with the behavioral intention toward using AI-HRIS. The findings of this study contribute to the theory development of information technology diffusion in HRM.

Background In almost all lower and lower middle-income countries, the healthcare system is structured in the customary model of in-person or face to face model of care. With the current global COVID-19 pandemics, the usual health care service has been significantly altered in many aspects. Given the fragile health system and high number of immunocompromised populations in lower and lower-middle income countries, the economic impacts of COVID-19 are anticipated to be worse. In such scenarios, technological solutions like, Telemedicine which is defined as the delivery of healthcare service remotely using telecommunication technologies for exchange of medical information, diagnosis, consultation and treatment is critical. The aim of this study was to assess healthcare providers’ acceptance and preferred modality of telemedicine and factors thereof among health professionals working in Ethiopia. Methods A multi-centric online survey was conducted via social media platforms such as telegram channels, Facebook groups/pages and email during Jul 1- Sep 21, 2020. The questionnaire was adopted from previously validated model in low income setting. Internal consistency of items was assessed using Cronbach alpha (α), composite reliability (CR) and average variance extracted (AVE) to evaluate both discriminant and convergent validity of constructs. The extent of relationship among variables were evaluated by Structural equation modeling (SEM) using SPSS Amos version 23. Results From the expected 423 responses, 319 (75.4%) participants responded to the survey questionnaire during the data collection period. The majority of participants were male (78.1%), age <30 (76.8%) and had less than five years of work experience (78.1%). The structural model result confirmed the hypothesis “self-efficacy has a significant positive effect on effort expectancy” with a standardized coefficient estimate (β) of 0.76 and p-value <0.001. The result also indicated that self-efficacy, effort expectancy, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions and social influence have a significant direct effect on user’s attitude toward using telemedicine. User’s behavioral intention to use telemedicine was also influenced by effort expectancy and attitude. The model also ruled out that performance expectancy, facilitating conditions and social influence does not directly influence user’s intention to use telemedicine. The squared multiple correlations (r2) value indicated that 57.1% of the variance in attitude toward using telemedicine and 63.6% of the variance in behavioral intention to use telemedicine is explained by the current structural model. Conclusion This study found that effort expectancy and attitude were significantly predictors of healthcare professionals’ acceptance of telemedicine. Attitude toward using telemedicine systems was also highly influenced by performance expectancy, self-efficacy and facilitating conditions. effort expectancy and attitude were also significant mediators in predicting users’ acceptance of telemedicine. In addition, mHealth approach was the most preferred modality of telemedicine and this opens an opportunity to integrate telemedicine systems in the health system during and post pandemic health services in low-income countries.

As a highly regulated sectors, banks should be able to manage various risks by implementing Good Corporate Governance through detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Currently, financial sectors in Indonesia are dominated by Millennial’s workforce whom prefer digital way of communication rather than conventional reading. Thus, one multinational bank in Indonesia implements Video Learning SOPs to accommodate Millennials. The purpose of this study is to understand the adoption of Video Learning SOPs in financial sector using UTAUT. The study is quantitative research with availability sampling. 1077 respondents gathered using online questionnaire and analyzed using Partial-Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). Perceived interactivity was included as additional factors and the moderation of Age also analyzed. The results showed that there was significant relation between Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Perceived Interactivity with Behavioral Intention to use Video Learning SOPs whereas Perceived Interactivity and Performance Expectancy also significantly impact it. It also revealed that there was positive but insignificant moderating effect of Age on the Behavioral Intention to use Video Learning SOPs. This research is among the first that reveals significant factors that impacting the adoption of Video Learning SOPs in a highly regulated industry.

Access to quality education is now a huge challenge in Thailand with ever-increasing inequality between rural and urban populations. Existing teaching and learning facilities are no longer adequate. Mobile learning has been suggested as a sustainable and appropriate delivery mechanism to reduce this rural/urban education gap. Students are supplied with their own mobile device at no cost to learners or their families. Opportunities offered through mobile learning to auto mechanic education in Thailand were explored. Data from 384 auto mechanic students were collected and descriptive and multiple regression analyses were performed based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) model. Results showed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation and personal innovativeness were positively related to behavioral intention to use mobile learning. Furthermore, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation and personal innovativeness were the most significant predictors of behavioral intention to use mobile learning. Auto mechanic students in Thailand had positive perceptions toward mobile learning and the effect of students’ effort expectancy provided a better explanation for the adoption of mobile learning in auto mechanic education.
