Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to contribute to the search for strategies on innovation in chatbot services in airline distribution industry. Personal and systemic characteristics of chatbot were derived together. The extended technology acceptance model theory was applied. The effects of perceived ease of use, usefulness, and intention to use chatbot from the user's perspective were empirically analyzed. Research design, data and methodology: Through an online survey, 309 people who have experience using chatbot services in airline distribution industry responded. AMOS 18.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: The hypothesis that personal characteristics will positively influence perceived ease and perceived usefulness was tested. Self-efficacy and user's innovativeness were shown have a significant effect on both perceived ease and perceived usefulness. System characteristics present a positive effect on perceived ease and perceived usefulness was tested. Consistency and familiarity were found to affect perceived ease and perceived usefulness. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness show a positive effect on intention to continue using chatbot service. Conclusions: When building an airline chatbot service in airline distribution industry, it is necessary to consider systematic characteristics, ease of use, and usability. It provided practical implications in that it have a significant impact on users' intention to use.
