One of the main factors that changes individuals' behavior is social influence. Social influence is defined as a change in an individual's thinking, feelings, attitudes, or behavior that results from interaction with other individuals or groups. Within the scope of ICT adoption among fishermen, social influence is expected to spread, and this study attempts to discover the social influence that impinges on fishermen's use of ICT in their fishing routine. This is a quantitative study in which a total of 400 respondents have been selected based on multi-stage simple random sampling. SPSS is used to gain the required analyses, and descriptive analysis is also performed. The results reveal that social influence has less impact on fishermen's use of ICT based on the low level of mean scores recorded for each of the eight statements studied.
This paper delves into research on acceptance of state-of-the-art in technology at the individual level among fishermen in Malaysia. This study is quantitative, and surveys a total of 200 registered fishermen from Johor, Malacca and Selangor. The analyses performed have confirmed that the main points that gear fishermen toward accepting fishery technology are related to the issues of safety, technological skill and knowledge, time saving, and minimization of interference by the middleman. A number of discussions and recommendations have been placed and can be expected to assist the relevant parties concerned with constructing strategies to further encourage the use of fishery technologies among fishermen in Malaysia.
