“…Perceived usefulness (PU) was significantly but negatively associated with uptake of CPE innovations. This rejection of hypothesis H2 appears counter-intuitive, given that previous studies have reported the positive impact of perceived usefulness on the adoption of innovations (Djimesah et al, 2021;Man et al, 2021). However, this unexpected outcome needs to be understood within the context of the significant positive effect of perceived ease of use on uptake of CPE innovations (support for H3).…”

“…Following Davis (1989) 's seminal work on the technology acceptance model, several studies have investigated the impact of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use (see earlier definitions) in a wide range of empirical contexts. These include healthcare (Alam et al, 2020;Kim and Ho, 2021); manufacturing (Chin and Lin, 2015); construction (Man et al, 2021); crowdfunding (Djimesah et al, 2021). However, while there is a growing body of work investigating the role of new technologies as drivers of the circular economy, the circular plastic economy is still a relatively under-researched area.…”

“…Only three relevant studies were found, showing that all proposed TAM hypotheses were accepted. The ease of use and usefulness were essential for stakeholders to use crowdfunding in a study by Djimesah et al (2022) . Perceived ease of use and utility significantly influenced users’ intention to use RISCOVID for tracing contacts of persons infected with Covid-19 in a study by Cruz et al (2020) .…”

Crowdsensing has become an alternative solution to physical sensors and apparatuses. Utilizing citizen science communities is undoubtedly a much cheaper solution. However, similar to other participatory-based applications, the willingness of community members to be actively involved is paramount to the success of implementation. This research investigated factors that affect the continual use intention of a crowd-based early warning system (CBEWS) to mitigate harmful algal blooms (HABs). This study applied the partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using an augmented technology acceptance model (TAM). In addition to the native TAM variables, such as perceived ease of use and usefulness as well as attitude, other factors, including awareness, social influence, and reward, were also studied. Furthermore, the usability factor was examined, specifically using the System Usability Scale (SUS) score as a determinant. Results showed that usability positively affected the perceived ease of use. Moreover, perceived usefulness and awareness influenced users’ attitudes toward using CBEWS. Meanwhile, the reward had no significant effects on continual use intention.

Due to the Philippines’ current condition in COVID-19, the Social Security System (SSS) has launched a mobile app as an intervention for walk-in appointments and another convenient way to exchange information. By integrating the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study scrutinizes and investigates the various factors influencing the SSS mobile app’s accessibility. An online questionnaire composed of 60 items required at least 200 respondents. The researchers measured twelve latent variables, including social influence, awareness of service, computer self-efficacy, quality of internet connection, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, subjective norms, the impression of use, demographic, attitude towards using, behavioral intention to use, and actual use of SSS mobile app. The results of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicated that awareness of service had a substantial direct influence on computer self-efficacy and perceived usefulness. In addition, computer self-efficacy had a substantial direct influence on the quality of internet connection and perceived ease of used, in which this perceived ease of use had a substantial direct influence on perceived usefulness and attitude toward using the mobile application. This study’s findings can be used to provide information on the key factors that have been identified as having a considerable effect on the app’s accessibility and further improving the overall service efficiency of the SSS mobile app. Finally, the study’s model construct will be valuable for researchers and other sectors investigating user–software interaction of applicable government or private service mobile applications.
