Purpose: This research delves into the topic by exploring the impacts of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) on the fourth industrial setting. As the study begins with a comprehensive review of the literature to find other scholars' contributions, the present authors try to synthesize and integrate scattered related topics in the literature dataset. Research design, data and methodology: We used a descriptive, causal, and explanatory research design hybrid. A causal research design is an approach used to investigate the interaction and relationship between given variables. The screening began with searching using keywords, filtering using the inclusion criteria, and arriving at the final set of sources. Results: There were four crucial findings: 1. The Performance Expectancy Construct Has Strongly Influenced and Influenced the Decision to Acquire and Use a Given Technology. 2. Effort Expectancy Construct Has Influenced the Trends of Adopting. 3. Social Influence and Impact on Choice and Use of Technologies. 4. Facilitating Conditions as A Factor in Modern Production and Consumption. Conclusions: All in all, UTAUT is used in a predictive manner and very instrumental for the producers and users of various technologies. Four primary constructs are critical in making the theory complete, essential, and reliable within the fourth industrial setting.

This research aims to explore the acceptance of Moodle as a teaching and learning tool by the faculty of the Department of Information Studies (IS) at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in the Sultanate of Oman. The researchers employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to examine the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions on the behavioural intention of SQU faculty members to employ Moodle in their instruction. Data were collected by the interview method. Results showed the emergence of two faculty groups: one uses Moodle and one does not use Moodle. In group that uses Moodle, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and behavioural intention are positively related, thereby influencing the faculty members' use behavior. In addition to the aforementioned UTAUT constructs, four additional factors affect Moodle's adoption. These moderators are gender, age, experience and the voluntariness of use, amongst which gender exhibits the least influence on Moodle adoption. That is, male and female faculty generally both use the learning platform. Although some members of the group that does not use Moodle exhibit optimistic performance expectancy for technology, the overall perception in this regard for Moodle is negative. The other UTAUT constructs exert no influence on this group's adoption of the learning platform.

To achieve the widespread use of Mobility as a Service (MaaS), a novel transportation platform, it is important to increase consumers' intention to use MaaS. Therefore, this study clarifies the determinants of consumers' intention to use MaaS based on the UTAUT2 model. The research model is tested using structural equation modeling based on data from a web-based questionnaire survey of Japanese consumers. The results show that performance expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, and price value have significant effects on the intention to use MaaS. Moreover, the relationship between the intention to use MaaS and independent variables is moderated by old age. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed based on the findings.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence the purchase of AI speakers in China. We integrate the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Task-technology fit (TTF) model into one model and put forward assumptions. According to the characteristics of AI speakers, we selected 6 independent variables, such as Performance Expectation, Effort Expectation, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Task and Technology-characteristics. The final impact on purchase behavior is evaluated through Task-technology fit and purchase intention. After counting 478 samples, through SPSS22.0 and AMOS analysis, hypotheses have been proved by strong experimental data, except facilitating conditions. These results also imply that improving the technical level of AI speakers and enhancing consumers' purchasing intention are the central line of marketing. Based on this, we put forward several suggestions to marketers, including strengthening the research and development of AI speaker technology, and building a circle of friends of AI speakers.

Purpose With the increase of the elderly population, the growth of its information system related market is increasing. However, empirical studies for the usage of elderly people's smartphones are still limited. This study aims to investigate the factors that affect the seniors' smartphone usage behaviors. Design/Methodology/Approach First, a preliminary study was conducted with targeting seniors who have visited Gwangju Senior Technology Center(GSTC) in order to understand the factors that affect the intention of utilizing smartphones. Next, based on the preliminary study results and literature reviews including the UTAUT model, performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence were considered for the major factors affecting the usage of elderly people's smartphones. Also, the moderate effects of personal innovativeness and usage function were discussed. A questionnaire survey of 181 seniors visiting GSTC was analyzed to empirically test the research model. Findings By the empirical tests, the performance expectancy and the effort expectancy of the seniors had significant impacts on their smartphone usage behavior. While the moderating effect of personal innovativeness was not significant, the moderating effect of the usage function was significant in the relationship between performance expectancy and the smartphone usage behavior. The results of this study are expected to provide guidelines to excavate the technical development and the niche market targeting the elderly people.

This study examined the difference in the usage of internet banking users between Korea and China. This model tests various theoretical research hypotheses relating to internet banking, The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(UTAUT). The factors influencing on the use intention of Internet banking have been classified as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions. The proposed model was empirically tested using data collected from a survey of internet banking users in Korea and China. The model is used by SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 7.0 for analysis on the sample collected from 272 respondents. The result of hypothesis testing are as follows. First, performance expectancy and social influence positively influence use intention of internet banking user both Korea and China. Second, facilitating conditions only positively influence on the usage of internet banking users in Korea. On the other side, effort expectancy do not influence the use intention of internet banking users in both two countries.

This study used the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology(UTAUT) model to find factors that influence consumer acceptance intention toward Vertiport, a physical ground support technology required to implement AAM services. The analysis showed that among the four independent variables, Vertiport's social influence and facilitating conditions have a significant impact on future Vertiport usage behavior. At this point, the public has not yet had actual experience with Vertiport, so there is a limitation of considering it as a future concept based on speculation and measuring acceptance by actual behaviors related to its use (inquiries, information gathering, interest, etc.). Research on acceptance and attitudes toward new transportation methods should be further activated and developed along with future service development. Through the results of this study, we aim to understand the initial public acceptance of Vertiport as a ground-based infrastructure in the AAM field (or UAM) and propose strategic implications for the direction of service development.

The objective of this study is to investigate the intention to adopt smart wear, based on extended UTAUT model. We examined the effects of performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), hedonic motivation (HE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), and price value (PV) on the intended adoption of smart watch and smart shoes, respectively. In addition, moderating effects of gender, age, and innovation resistance were examined. An online survey was conducted, comprised of 2030 consumers who were aware of smart watch or smart shoes. In total, 393 responses were analyzed. About 50.4% were male, and 44.8% were in their 20's. An exploratory factor analysis generated five factors - PE & HM, EE, SI, FC, and PV- which were employed as independent variables in the multiple regression models. PE & HM, PV, and SI influenced on the intention to use both smart devices. FC showed the significant effect only on the intention to adopt the smart watch. In terms of gender differences, SI and PV were the important predictors of the intention to adopt the smart watch in the female group only. With respect to age difference, SI was very effective in explaining the intention of individuals in their 30's to adopt smart wear. Among the low innovation resistance group, SI was significant predictor, while PE & HE and PV were significant among the high resistance group. The findings provide useful information about the possibility of the adoption of smart wear, and new insight into market segmentation.
