“…Men in their study were more inclined to explore innovations as they are active, adventurous (Zhang, Guo, Lai, Guo, & Li, 2013), and risk taking (Garbarino & Strahilevitz, 2004). On the other hand, women in their study were passive (Zhang et al, 2013) and anxious about computers and mobile technology (Gilbert, Lee-Kelley, & Barton, 2003;Liu & Guo, 2017). Ahmed (2016) found in his study that men were more influenced by PE whereas effort expectancy affected women more significantly than men.…”

“…In the studies of Goh and Sun (2014) and Liu and Guo (2017), the researchers found that men and women possess diverse perceptions regarding information technologies such as mobile phones and computers. Men in their study were more inclined to explore innovations as they are active, adventurous (Zhang, Guo, Lai, Guo, & Li, 2013), and risk taking (Garbarino & Strahilevitz, 2004).…”

Mobile learning has become a common experience in higher education and in the professional workforce. However, the readiness of accounting students to engage in such learning appears to be weaker than in other disciplines. Therefore, this study set out to identify the factors affecting accounting students’ behavioural intention (BI) to accept mobile learning. The participants of this study were 358 accounting students of public universities in Malaysia. The study was anchored in the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) (Venkatesh, Thong & Xu, 2012), which has been employed by researchers in various research areas such as mobile payments, e-learning, mobile banking, and online shopping. The study revealed that habits have the most influence on accounting students’ intention to adopt mobile learning through an investigation of technology acceptance in the domain of mobile learning. From the perspective of universities, the study posits that consistent usage of mobile learning could be encouraged through processes to nurture students’ habits when using mobile learning system as a tool to complete tasks. Findings provide a reference for the future UTAUT2 and mobile learning related studies.

“…Tarhini et al (2014) determined that gender moderates the effect of PEOU and SN on BI in a study on the acceptance and use of e-learning interventions [57]. Liu (2016) studied the acceptance of mobile computing devices, and the results revealed that male college students favored status and value orientations, whereas female students preferred social and utilitarian orientations [58]. Gefen and Straub (1997) noted that sociolinguistic research has indicated that men tend to focus their discourse on hierarchy and independence, whereas women focus on intimacy and solidarity.…”

With the popularity of sharing-based applications such as bicycle and car sharing, the sharing economy has attracted considerable global attention. The factors that affect users' adoption of the sharing economy must be identified to facilitate the promotion of low-carbon lifestyles and help enterprises attract more active users. By employing the technology acceptance model (TAM) and herd behavior, this study implemented an expanded TAM and identified several factors affecting behavioral intention (BI) toward the sharing economy. A questionnaire was used to obtain the data, which were analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results revealed that perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) are the main factors affecting BI. Moreover, trust (TRU) was identified as a mediator of subjective norm (SN) and PEOU. Imitating others (IMI) affects BI, and SN affects TRU, PU, and PEOU. Gender moderates SN and IMI. This paper indicates that to improve users' BI, enterprises should enhance PU, PEOU, and TRU; cooperate with organizations to enhance SN; and guide potential users to imitate others.

“…As some literature has pointed out that differences between men and women might occur (Liu and Guo, 2017), descriptive analysis were carried out in both sexes as well as the whole dataset. Nevertheless, this was not the case, as depicted in Table 1.…”

The Moderating Role of Intellectual Humility in the Adoption of ICT: A Study Across Life-Span

et al. 2018

Literature has shown age-related differences in the adoption process. In this way, it is very important to encourage the adoption of ICT by the elderly, in order to maintain their independence in daily life. However, some specific cognitive variables were not considered in theoretical models until a decade ago. One of the emerging fields in this area is the science of learnable intelligence, which investigates the role of thinking dispositions. The variable which we have focused on is intellectual humility. For this propose, a sample of 306 participants from 18 to 87 years was selected. Age was selected as a predictor variable. Intellectual humility was tested as a moderator between aging and ICT adoption, more precisely computer and mobile devices. The model fitted the theoretical proposal. However, the subscale known as Independence of the intellect and ego was the only one to fulfill all the requirements for the moderational analysis. The findings suggest a moderational effect that might enhance the ICT adoption. These results are of interest in the field of personal development and training purposes in life-span.
