Teleconference Use among Office Workers: An Interorganizational Comparison of an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior Model

Abstract

From a corporate social responsibility perspective, there are many reasons to promote teleconference use as an alternative to business travel. The present study examines psychosocial and organizational factors relevant to teleconference use. We tested an extended Theory of Planned Behavior model of teleconference use among office workers of four organizations. Results indicate that intention was the strongest direct predictor of teleconference use. Habit and perceived norm, in turn, were the strongest predictors of intention to use teleconference. In contrast, attitude was only weakly predictive and perceived control not predictive at all of intention to use teleconference. We also examined how this model was influenced by the organizational context by comparing organizations from two different regions, and organizations from the private vs. the public sector. Most teleconference-related beliefs differed between regions and organizational sectors. The relevance of specific attitudinal and normative beliefs to the overall attitude and perceived norm also differed between organizational sectors. Implications for practice and future research are discussed. OPEN ACCESSAdm. Sci. 2014, 4 52

The Determinant Factors of Travelers’ Choices for Pro-Environment Behavioral Intention-Integration Theory of Planned Behavior, Unified Theory of Acceptance, and Use of Technology 2 and Sustainability Values

“…In the field of management, people used to take TRA (Theory of Reasoned Action), TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior), or TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) as a theoretical basis to discuss user's attitude and behavior, with an obvious purpose to find out the most important influential factor on user's behavior. With gaining the great achievement and support of TRA, TPB and TAM in the field of management and behavioral science, this research developed an integrating mode of TPM and UTAUT2, to verify more constructs of user's intention, to further understand user's behaviors in details [66][67][68][69][70].…”

Rapidly co-evolving technology adoption and diffusion models

“…Many theories have been used to predict users' behaviour with regard to mobile Internet usage (Lo et al, 2014;Shareef et al, 2013;Soper et al, 2014). One school of thought starts with the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), followed by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT); and the process of model building continues.…”

Pro-Environmental Behaviour in Travel Mode Choice of Graduate Students: Case Study in Jakarta

“…Behavior generally rises from rational considerations based on available information, and from consideration concerning potential consequences of behavior. TPB is considered useful in predicting pro-environmental behavior and successfully explains the travel behavior and the individual's travel mode choice [9] [14].…”

“…The choice of environmental-friendly or proenvironmental transportation mode can occur based on a moral obligation to act sustainably [15]. Measurement on the travel mode behavior could be beneficial in effort to influence people to travel in a sustainable manner [14]. In addition, socio-demographic factors and personal characteristics of commuters, such as age and physical condition, are known to influence travel mode choice [16].…”

“…Studies have been conducted with regards to pro-environmental behavior in travel mode choice [19] [20], that specifically uses TPB [14], and focuses on students [21]. Similar researches seek to understand pro-environmental behavior on graduate students have been widely applied on various topics.…”
