The Role of Digital Knowledge Richness in Green Technology Adoption: A Digital Option Theory Perspective

PurposeResearch on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) has typically considered environmental concern a key determinant of behavioral intention that leads individuals to prefer electric vehicles. This paper challenges this assumption and argues that technology frameworks may require new variables to capture consumers' preferences. A UTAUT2-based study has been developed to assess the role of environmental concern in the BEVs context and put forward the technology show-off (TS) concept to explain the technology's acceptance.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative and cross-sectional look at behavioral intention is adopted. The study uses structural equation modeling to analyze a sample of 236 Macau residents to determine the relevance of the factors behind the choice to adopt BEVs.FindingsThe findings indicate that environmental concern and price may be relevant to explain behavioral intention to adopt the BEVs technology. Furthermore, the UTAUT2 framework seems to benefit from adding new variables, with TS playing a pertinent role in explaining technology acceptance.Social implicationsThe findings show that environmental concern fails to build an argument for the shift to full electric mobility and promote the desired behavioral change toward adopting BEVs. Herein lies the necessity to consider new variables that can better describe the characteristics of modern society.Originality/valueThis paper proposes the TS construct, combining visibility and trialability as significant determinants of behavioral intention to use technology. The study also stresses the need to reconsider the role of environmental concerns' impact on consumer decision-making.

Las tecnologías verdes se han venido consolidando como un aporte para el desarrollo sostenible del sector industrial; sin embargo, aún se conoce poco sobre los factores que inciden en la adopción de estas tecnologías en dicho sector. Dada esta necesidad, surge el objetivo de examinar los factores asociados a la adopción de tecnologías verdes en el contexto individual y empresarial. La metodología se estructuró a partir de una revisión sistemática que sigue los pasos de la metodología PRISMA, a partir de la búsqueda en las bases de datos Scopus, Web of Science y Dimensions. Se obtuvo como resultado el análisis de 123 documentos. Entre los hallazgos se observa que los factores más recurrentes son la adopción, la intención de uso, las normas sociales, la actitud y la conciencia ecológica. Se concluye que es necesaria la validación de estos factores en el contexto de economías emergentes, con el fin de establecer estrategias que respondan a las necesidades de su contexto social, tecnológico y económico.
