Understanding the Sustainable Usage Intention of Mobile Payment Technology in Korea: Cross-Countries Comparison of Chinese and Korean Users

Abstract

Mobile payment (m-payment) enables consumers to perform their payment tasks via a mobile technology platform. In this study, we summarized, evaluated, and expanded upon the literature about m-payment usage intention by synthetically integrating the advantages of three information systems theories into an integrated model, which details the complementary relationship between the objective measures, subjective perception of m-payment services, and m-payment technology–task fit characteristics. Based on a sample of 908 individuals in two different Kakaopay user groups (467 Chinese Kakaopay users in Korea and 441 local Korean Kakaopay users) and the three-model integrated optimization, we integrated the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model (UTAUT), the information systems success model (D&M ISS), and the task-technology fit model (TTF), considering moderating variables (Chinese and Korea experienced consumers) and multi-group analysis. We chose the factors influencing Chinese and Korean consumers' usage intention as the research objects, and ultimately achieved our purpose of more accurately predicting consumer behavior patterns to expand the scale of potential Chinese consumers. The empirical results theoretically contribute to academic and practical solutions for the Korean m-payment product and help technology suppliers to stimulate the sustainable growth of Korean mobile payment consumer groups in Korea.

Consumers’ Intention to Adopt Blockchain Food Traceability Technology towards Organic Food Products

“…At present, ISS has been utilized to evaluate the success degree by more than 280 articles [30]. In particular, ISS has been utilized to many aspects of information system, for example, mobile payment [31], mobile banking, and mobile learning [32].…”

An Empirical Study on the Dairy Product Consumers’ Intention to Adopt the Food Traceability’s Technology: Push-Pull-Mooring Model Integrated by D&M ISS Model and TPB With ITM

“…More than 260 articles have applied this framework to measure the D&M ISS model ( Tahar et al, 2013 ). Particularly, in the context of information system, D&M ISS is applied to many aspects, such as mobile commerce ( Lin et al, 2019 ), mobile banking, and mobile learning ( Im et al, 2011 ).…”

The Determinants for Food Safety Push Notifications on Continuance Intention in an E-Appointment System for Public Health Medical Services: The Perspectives of UTAUT and Information System Quality

“…Other scholars, including Al-Gahtani et al [16] and Schaper and Pervan [17], have tested the UTAUT on different samples and obtained the same results. Some studies have also extended the UTAUT model to examine willingness to use IT [18][19][20][21]. The extent to which the theory of user acceptance of new technological devices has been valued and flourished means that UTAUT research has been of great importance to the development of new technology.…”
