This study focuses on better development of green buildings. The key to the sustainable development of the construction industry is to popularize and promote the spread of green building technologies (GBTS) in the construction market. This study integrates the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the innovation diffusion theory (IDT) to analyze and construct the theoretical model of developers’ GBTS adoption behavior from three dimensions, including the individual factor, product factor and interface factor. This paper discusses the mechanism of GBTS adoption and diffusion in the construction market. The data are collected by questionnaire, and the structural equation model (SEM) is used for empirical analysis. The results show that the developers’ perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) of GBTS, developers’ innovativeness and sense of community at the individual level, competitive advantage at the product level, as well as government structural guarantees and relevant stakeholders at the interface level have a significant positive impact on the adoption of GBTS by developers. It is proved that the model can explain the basic path of GBTS adoption by developers, and suggestions to promote the adoption and diffusion of GBTS in China are put forward.

E-commerce applications are primarily used at home and in the workplace. Utilitarian elements, including cognitive beliefs of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use (at the individual level), industry pressure, organizational readiness, economics, and trust (at the business level) are key determinants contributing to the usage of e-commerce applications. Mobile devices redefine the meaning of workplace. The use of mobile services could be in and outside the workplace. Hedonic elements, such as fun, culture, life style, and hype are key determinants contributing to the usage of mobile commerce applications. The purpose of our article is to discuss and clarify immediate determinants of e-commerce and mobile commerce applications based on the technology acceptance model.

This study aims to identify the factors affecting mobile payment (m-payment) adoption intention in India by proposing a conceptual framework based on technology acceptance model (TAM). In addition to construct of TAM, four user-centric constructs have been added to evaluate m-payment adoption intention in India. The proposed research framework was empirically tested by data collected from 381 potential m-payment service users, through online and offline survey. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) technique. The results exhibit that perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), trust, and self-efficacy (SE) have a significant positive impact on m-payment adoption intention. However, subjective norms (SN) and personal innovativeness (PI) have no significant impact on m-payment adoption intention. Findings of the study have important theoretical and practical implications, particularly to understand important user-centric factors affecting m-payment adoption.

The present study aims to enrich the research on online entrepreneurship education, improve the level and ability of entrepreneurship services in China, and improve the overall success rate of entrepreneurship. Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) proposed by researcher Davis, the study explores the application of TAM in online entrepreneurship education for new entrepreneurs. First, new entrepreneurs who are users of the online entrepreneurship education platform are selected as research objects, and then the influence of the four factors are studied, including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, classroom self-efficacy, and perceived external control. Finally, the hypothesis proposed is tested. Results show that online entrepreneurship education influences the perceived ease of use of the user and perceived credibility: the quality of the online entrepreneurship education has a positive impact on the user's perceived usefulness, interactivity has a positive influence on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, and interactivity positively influences the perceived ease of use of the user and perceived credibility. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived credibility have a positive impact on the behavioral intention of the users. The proposed TAM provides some technical and theoretical support for the application of TAM in online entrepreneurship education for new entrepreneurs.

This research investigates the impact of Hoftstede’s National Culture which mediated by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) on usage of emails among academician in Malaysian public universities. Data was collected by using survey questionnaires among 146 academic staff from two public universities in Malaysia. Path analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 2.0 to assess the usage of emails model. Study found that power distance (PD), uncertainty avoidance (UA) and collectivism (C) have negative impact on perceived ease of use (PEOU) of usage of emails. Study further discovered that PD, and C have negative influence on perceived usefulness (PU) of usage of emails. In addition, study found that masculinity (M) has no noteworthy impact on both PEOU and PU of usage of emails. Moreover, long-term orientation (LT) and Indulgence (I) were found to have noteworthy positive relationship with PEOU and PU on usage of emails. On technology acceptance model (TAM), PEOU and PU were found to have noteworthy positive impact on usage of emails (U) while PEOU has a noteworthy positive impact PU of usage of emails. This paper discusses the implications of these findings for future academic research and practice.

Nowadays, Blockchain Technology (BCT) is contributing toward addressing the challenges of complex industrial systems (CISs). The BCT reduces the complexity of cash data storage as well as retrieval system of finance, marketing, supply chain, inventory, and other departments. The objective of the present study is to investigate the factors, which affect the intention of professionals to adapt the BCT in the CISs by using an extension of the technology acceptance model. To fulfill the research objective, a theoretical research model is constituted by multiple hypotheses (H1–H6), i.e., perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived innovativeness, knowledge, risk, and trust after conducting the relevant literature survey in the context of BCT. Next, each hypothesis is tested by exploring the survey data of a sample of 287 professionals of different BCT user’s companies such as retailing, e-commerce, manufacturing, and construction. Survey data is analyzed by executing the structural equation modeling with AMOS software. The factors and latent constructs loadings, reliability, convergent, discriminant, model fit-measurement, structural model, and the path analysis are conducted. The results reveal that the H1, H2, and H4–H6 dropped the positive impact and effect on professionals’ intention to use the BCT in CISs. But, H3 has no effect for enhancing the intention of professionals to use BCT.
