“…This difference compels females to socialize more with people of the same gender in order to gain more social support. Many prior studies have found that social support strengthens a female's practices around technology, where she is more likely to seek consultation from her peers and friends when buying and adopting a new technology [35]. Similarly, in the present study, we believe that social influence affects females more significantly than males in the adoption of MNIS technology.…”

“…Perceived credibility is a psychological state in which individuals are willing to accept vulnerability due to their positive expectations of the behavior of another [27,38]. Perceived credibility is the extent to which a potential user believes that a new technology employed by a government agency has the technical guarantees for completing transactions and transmitting sensitive information in a secure manner [35]. Since smart cards are employed by most local governments in smart cities as a payment and information exchange system to interact with many public healthcare and identification services, the perceived credibility of the smart card is a critical concern for many citizens [32].…”

“…Of particular relevance to the perceived credibility domain is that females are more concerned about forming and maintaining relationships with friends and willing to provide their personal details to friends [26]. Males, on the other hand, are more concerned about the privacy and security of their personal data in the context of relationships [35]. Conversely, in different circumstances, females are more concerned about the safety of using a new technology, such as credit-card misuse or fraud, compared with males [10].…”

“…Conversely, in different circumstances, females are more concerned about the safety of using a new technology, such as credit-card misuse or fraud, compared with males [10]. According to Khoza et al [35], female customers in e-commerce are more rational and more sensitive to risks than their male counterparts, perceived credibility on purchase intention was stronger for females than males, and female customers were more cautious and conservative while consuming a new innovation or product. Females have a higher need for perceived credibility compared with males in the adoption of new technology, which improves their attitude and thus increases intention [39].…”

Purpose Gender-inclusive adoption of multipurpose national-identity smart cards (MNIS) is important to ensure gender equality, particularly in accessing public services offered by the card e.g. identity verification, healthcare, transit, banking, driving license, passport, etc. The aim is to study the gender differences in terms of the motivation and impediments of adopting MNIS to recommend gender-specific adoption strategies. Methodology The research framework is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with the added constructs of perceived credibility and anxiety. The data was collected through five hundred questionnaires from Malaysia (the MNIS pioneer) and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The results show that females have significantly higher perceived credibility while males have significantly higher performance expectancy for MNIS. The correlation between performance expectancy and perceived credibility is significantly stronger among males. Practical implications Strategies recommended to policymakers include having social messages related to MNIS utility and convenience in campaigns targeting males while alleviating concerns over security and privacy for campaigns targeting females. Originality/value This is the first study that investigated the gender differences in adoption of MNIS by comparing the structural UTAUT models of both genders. The gender differences in MNIS adoption were explained using gender theories.

Since technology benefits people in many areas, its effectiveness is increasing day by day. For this reason, many products and services have been digitized and made available to people. Especially in the last period, with the development of blockchain technology, there has been a significant change in the financial sector. Blockchain technology, which offers a decentralized transaction network, has contributed significantly to the development of digital currencies. In this context, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) started to work on Digital Turkish Lira (DTL) in 2021. In this context, it will enable the company tokens, which are proposed to be issued as a sub-unit of DTL, which is planned to use blockchain technology in its infrastructure, to be used in the financing of businesses, while also allowing investors to invest in Turkish Lira assets. In the research, it has been suggested that the company tokens to be issued under DTL can be traded on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) and invested, as well as the relevant tokens can be traded. The proposed model has been examined within the scope of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which is frequently used in the research of technological innovations. The analysis process of the research was carried out with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The analysis of the research was carried out with the Smartpls 3 package program. Hypotheses H3, H5, and H8 were rejected and other hypotheses were accepted. When the results of the research were analyzed, it was determined that the factors affecting the intention to use the proposed company tokens were parallel to the literature. As a result of the analysis, it has been reached that the attitude and intention towards the use of company tokens in the proposed model are positive.
