This study developed unified theory of acceptance and use technology (UTAUT) to examine the predictive factors of mobile marketing adoption. Variables such as personal innovativeness, hedonic motivations, performance expectancy, mobility, and social influence were studied for mobile marketing acceptance. The predicted artificial neural networks (ANN) approach was applied to evaluate the data, and the results of the data were used for comparison with path analysis. The ANN model was derailed by the linear statistical model and was able to show the importance of all predictors that could not be identified by the path analysis model. The results show that personal innovativeness is the most effective factor in mobile marketing acceptance. Subsequently, the hedonic motivations, performance expectancy, mobility, social influence, trust, and facilitating conditions play a vital role. Furthermore, the results illustrate that price value, perceived risk, and effort expectancy were not effective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
