“…One of the definitions of perceived usefulness is that it is the degree to which an individual believes that using a particular system will improve performance [50]. However, it is better to say that using a given solution will affect the user's ability to use it to their advantage [51]. According to the consumer, the most important thing is the positive attitude of use to performance [52].…”

Virtual worlds have created unique economies whose outcome is e-currencies, which link the electronic universe and reality. This article aims to examine how perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived risks, and perceived trust significantly impact consumers’ virtual currencies’ behaviour. The study tested and used an adapted TAM model in the context of virtual currencies using structural equation modelling. The partial least square method of structural equation modelling is employed to test the proposed research model. The study utilises an online survey to obtain data from 205 virtual currency consumers. The data set was analysed using SmartPLS 3 software. The results showed that the best predictor of consumers’ intention to use virtual currencies is perceived usefulness, followed by perceived ease of use. Perceived trust predicts consumers’ perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These findings reveal that virtual currencies are seen as useful and easy to use. Consumers trust them enough but notice the risks they carry. They can also accept problems associated with them when it comes to their intention to use them.

“…Professional training initiatives may have an indirect influence on such a situation [18] since future users are familiarized with the advantages of the technology from the very beginning. One cannot also ignore the fact that informed users tend to place a high value on security and service availability [34]-both vital in the networking context.…”

“…Upon analyzing the factors that support the acceptance of network users to use the IPv6 networking addressing scheme, a recommendation for Internet Service Providers is made to change the mindset and strategies for the implementation of IPv6-as it is entirely different from IPv4 in terms of capacity, complexity, and the way of handling incident or service interruption [33]. Investigation of the intention to use cloud computing solutions revealed that providers of such services ought to put considerable focus on service availability and security, as potential users pay attention to these aspects [34]. Electricity providers are encouraged to adopt a smart meter acceptance model in order for meter manufacturers to achieve a better fit with end-user requirements and assist governments in setting standards for processing consumer data related to actual energy consumption [35].…”

Networking hardware might be considered a relatively unexposed enabler of the enormous success of the modern digital economy, and information technology of a global reach. The COVID-19 traffic spike across e-commerce portals puts further pressure on computer network component vendors and raises the bar regarding both performance and reliability. Therefore, the authors undertake a challenge of identifying factors influencing the level of Cisco switches acceptance among network administrators in business environments. To achieve that, Structural Equation Modelling is introduced. The feedback gathered from 205 study contributors enabled the authors to evaluate the significance of two domain-specific factors—Technological Innovation (TI) and Availability of Professional Training (APT). The APT was confirmed to have a significant impact on networking hardware acceptance. The study contributes to extending the decision-making rationale regarding the procurement of networking switches and shows the added value of technology-oriented professional training for job satisfaction and working efficiency.

“…Park and Kim [5] conducted research using the TAM and suggested that the perceived mobility, usability, connectivity, security, and service and system quality are the main variables affecting the intention to accept mobile cloud services. Pańkowska et al [6] also used the TAM model to study the factors influencing users' adoption of sustainable cloud computing solutions and suggested that perceived availability and security affect the perceived usability and system service quality, and both variables affect attitudes and usage.…”

A Study of Factors Affecting Intention to Adopt a Cloud-Based Digital Signature Service

2021

The electronic signature service has been causing various problems due to the rapid growth of e-commerce services. Therefore, in order to create an authentication service suitable for the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, new security authentication technologies such as the cloud must be utilized. However, there is a lack of prior management studies on the intention to accept digital signatures. Therefore, this study conducted an empirical study to identify factors affecting the intention to adopt cloud-based digital signature services. This research proposed a model based on the technology–organization–environment framework and empirically analyzed the degree of mutual causality and influence between variables using the partial least squares structural equation model. The results show that technical characteristics, organizational characteristics, and environmental characteristics significantly affected the intention to adopt. However, there are still many concerns about the security of cloud-based services. It has been confirmed that solving this problem is the key to the activation of the electronic signature service.
