“…There is a number of elements that define the theory and at he same time act as he drivers of innovation adoption including the relative advantages, complexity, observability, trialability and observability (Jatmiko & Imronudin, 2023). More importantly, DOI's features are compatible with perceptions factor when are combined together to explain the adoption (Yarbrough, 2023). This study adopted DOI in building ground on the assessment of the effect of innovation attributes to ABC adoption in Tanzania.…”

“…This study adopted DOI in building ground on the assessment of the effect of innovation attributes to ABC adoption in Tanzania. Based on the assertion by Yarbrough (2023), the assessment also took into account the mediation effects of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and normative beliefs as the elements of behavioral preferences.…”

“…According to Nkundabanyanga, Jayasinghe, Abaho and Mugambe (2023), it is the contingency theory that explains clearly the impacts of internal forces to organizational operations. Likewise, DOI plays a big role in explaining the effects of internal forces to innovation adoption (Yarbrough, 2023). In this case, it was a mix of theories which each had its part to contribute to the theme of the study of which a single theory could not suffice the need.…”

Research Aims: The applications of composite models in explaining the adoption of innovations continue to gain widespread recognition in contemporary research. This study examines the role of a composite model comprising innovation attributes, contingency factors, and isomorphic pressures in explaining the adoption of activity-based costing (ABC) in Tanzania. The examined causal relationship between the model and ABC adoption is subject to mediation by behavioral preferences. More importantly, this study evaluates the overall fit of the model based on confirmatory composite analysis (CCA) as a prerequisite for path analysis. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from 188 manufacturing and service companies in Tanzania using a cross-sectional survey design. As part of CCA, the study employed principal component analysis (PCA) to form the three emergent variables namely innovation attributes, contingency factors and isomorphic pressures. It is these variables that were merged together to form the composite model whose influence on ABC adoption was analyzed based on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Research Findings: It was found out that, it is only normative beliefs that positively mediated the causal - relationship between the composite model and ABC adoption. This suggests that, the combined influences of internal and external factors defined by innovation attributes, contingency factors and isomorphic pressures towards ABC adoption is mediated by the belief that manufacturing and service companies should adopt the system. On the other hand, the perceptions of the system’s usefulness and ease to use do not play role in explaining the combined influences of factors on ABC adoption. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The findings are paramount in creating the reference base for future studies as there were no previous studies of similar nature conducted to assess the impact of the composite model on ABC adoption.

Telerehabilitation is a transformative approach to physical therapy, revolutionizing the accessibility of healthcare in rural communities through the strategic use of Telecommunications technology. This novel approach has the potential to significantly enhance the efficacy of healthcare delivery, particularly considering the critical challenges posed by geographical isolation and resource scarcity. This paper explores the multifaceted benefits of Telerehabilitation, including increased access to care and reduced costs, alongside the challenges of technological barriers and privacy considerations. It provides a comprehensive overview of Telerehabilitation’s impact on rural healthcare, emphasizing its capacity to optimize patient outcomes and proposing strategies for effective implementation. The findings of this study suggest that the use of technology to deliver telecare is a key means of delivering equitable healthcare to underserved populations, a promising way to improve access to rural physiotherapy services address the challenge of telehealth resources, and promote the long-term sustainability of rural Telerehabilitation practices.
