“…This aspect is covered in the technology context of the TOE framework (iv) The institutional theory explains the impact of environmental factors on an IT adoption, which is already covered in the TOE framework Therefore, the TOE framework has more explanatory power over the other technology adoption theories reported in the literature. Due to its strong explanatory power, many researchers have used the TOE framework to examine the adoption of different technological innovations at the organization level, e.g., EDI and ERP systems, e-commerce, and RFID [79][80][81]. Therefore, we found the TOE framework an appropriate theoretical foundation for our study.…”

Blockchain (BCT) is an emerging technology that promises many benefits for organizations, for instance, disintermediation, data security, data transparency, a single version of the truth, and trust among trading partners. Despite its multiple benefits, the adoption rate of BCT among organizations has not reached a significantly high level worldwide, thus requiring further research in this space. The present study addresses this issue in the Australian context. There is a knowledge gap in what specific factors, among the plethora of factors reported in the extant literature, affect the organizational adoption of BCT in Australia. To fill this gap, the study uses the qualitative interpretative research approach along with the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework as a theoretical lens. The data was mainly drawn from the literature review and semi-structured interviews of the decision-makers and senior IT people from the BCT adopter and potential adopter organizations in Australia. According to the findings, perceived information transparency, perceived risks, organization innovativeness, organization learning capability, standards uncertainty, and competition intensity influence organizational adoption of BCT in Australia. These factors are exclusively identified in this study. The study also validates the influence of perceived benefits and perceived compatibility on BCT adoption that are reported in the past studies. Practically, these findings are helpful for the Australian government and public and private organizations to develop better policies and make informed decisions for the organizational adoption of BCT. The findings would guide decision-makers to think about the adoption of BCT strategically. The study also has theoretical implications explained in the discussion section.

Payment through mobile phones is a vital breakthrough in the arena of online businesses and e-commerce. The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants, enablers, and barriers involved in the success or failure of the mobile payment system (MPS) for the travel industry. The study employs the constructs operationalized from coping theory, unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT 2), and innovation resistance theory (IRT). The data has been collected from the 378 travelers who have used MPS for travel bookings for the first time. The customers of various travel agencies have been approached using an online questionnaire. Data has been analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 26. The analysis revealed several interesting findings. All of the direct hypotheses for coping theory constructs were accepted except for the mediating role of satisfaction. However, the factors of UTAUT 2 and IRT revealed very thought-provoking findings, questioning various obvious perceptions. The findings of the study can be used by the media agencies, hotels, and travel and tourism departments of the governments, especially in the context of developing nations.
