Intention to Adopt Industry 4.0 by Organizations in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Peru

The Role of Sustainable Attitudes to Achieve Energy Efficiency Targets through Industry 4.0 Adoption

“…This highlights the role of perceived value as a mediator between attitudes and adoption intentions, indicating that individuals' perceptions of the benefits and costs associated with adoption play a crucial role in forming intentions. The research results in contrast with previous studies by Cordero et al, [10], Castillo-Vergara et al, [56], Wang et al, [55], Toni et al [50], and Saeedi et al, [53], emphasize the variability in the weight of attitudes versus subjective norms in predicting intentions across different behaviors and individuals. Overall, the study underscores the importance of considering factors beyond attitudes in shaping adoption intentions and suggests tailored strategies to enhance the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.…”

“…By utilizing the TPB, researchers can not only assess adoption intention behavior but also observe future sustainability attitude behaviors in environmental studies. Some authors recommend incorporating additional variables based on the research context using the TPB framework, as TPB has limitations in predicting human behavior [10].…”

“…The research findings provide significant evidence of the positive influence of attitude, subjective norm, and behavioral control on their intention to adopt Industry 4.0 technology, namely big data. Other research on attitudes using the TPB framework and employing Intention to Adopt as the final endogenous variable has been conducted by Cordero et al, [10], Ho et al, [48], Ikram [49], Toni et al, [50], Shalender & Sharma [51], Perri et al, [52], Saeedi et al, [53], Sujood et al, [54] and Wang et al, [55].…”

“…The AMOS 26 application facilitates the easier and quicker solving of this complex statistical technique, enabling the determination, estimation, evaluation, and creation of models or path diagrams to depict hypotheses regarding variable relationships.Based on the discussion above, it can be summarized that some roles of the key variables in technology adoption are sustainable attitude, digital trust, and the moderation of UA. Cordero et al,[10] suggest that attitude influences the intention to adopt Industry 4.0 technology positively. Castillo-Vergara et al,[56] found that technological optimism positively affects the perception of technology's usefulness and ease of use.…”

Threat or prospect? Exploring the impact of digital entrepreneurs’ artificial intelligence perception and intention to adopt blockchain technology on the achievement of SDGs

“…All of the items used to measure the variable ranged from strongly agree to strongly disagree with the five-point Likert scale approach. Questionnaire items considered to measure industry 4.0 perceived ease of use and usefulness were adopted from groundbreaking research [ 24 , 28 ]. Furthermore, digital entrepreneurs' knowledge of AI and digital entrepreneurs' intention to adopt BCT as the study variables were measured through four items which are adapted [ 14 ].…”
