“…The empirical results of this study indicate that effort expectation had no significant impact on game use intention of the m-commerce platform, which was consistent with the research results of Ramírez-Correa et al (2019) and Wang et al (2020) . However, another finding was that effort expectations positively affect platform satisfaction.…”

Combining games with mobile commerce applications has been a trend in recent years. Mobile commerce is attracting a large number of people, especially females, to play mini games on the platform. The gamification of mobile commerce may affect users’ platform satisfaction. This study aims to explore the intention of female users to play mobile commerce games and its impact on platform satisfaction. We collected data from females in China who played mobile commerce games and then used a structural equation model to test the various hypotheses we made. The results showed that game use intention fully mediated the impact of performance expectation, hedonic motivation, and social influence on platform satisfaction. Effort expectation had no significant impact on game use intention but had a positive impact on platform satisfaction. Game use intention had a positive impact on platform satisfaction. The frequency of playing games and the amount of money spent on the platform were positively correlated with game use intention. Females over 25 years old preferred to play mobile commerce games. This study provides a theoretical reference and practical enlightenment and makes a specific contribution to the development of mobile commerce platform and the application of gamification. However, this study has limitations in terms of test samples, research methods and research content, and further research on mobile commerce is required in the future.

“…In general, these studies found that students are interested in the use of games for learning and would most likely use a game to learn if they believed it would enhance learning (perceived usefulness, learning opportunities), be easy and uncomplicated to use (perceived ease of use) and be fun or enjoyable (enjoyment).To understand the perceptions of engineering students towards DGBL for engineering education, this study utilized the extended Unified Theory of Use and Acceptance of Technology (UTAUT2) framework (Venkatesh & Xu, 2012). The UTAUT2 model, developed to predict technology acceptance, has been successfully used in studies to evaluate the perceptions of higher education students towards games for learning (Wang et al., 2020). The UTAUT2 model was also found to be able to explain up to 74% of the variance in behavioural intention to use a new technology (Venkatesh et al., 2016).…”

The growing interest in the use of digital games for education resulted in the expansion of the field of game-based learning. There have been several research on the perceptions and attitudes of students towards the use of games for learning. These studies have tried to understand what students make of the use of digital games for learning, as it is believed that the views of users and their acceptance of new technologies play a crucial role in ensuring successful outcomes. However, it is unclear whether there is any relationship between experiences, perceptions towards games and gameplay performance in a learning game. Understanding this relationship is important for game developers to effectively design and develop games, and for educators to be able to determine how to best deploy games for educational purposes. This study examines how the experiences and perceptions of engineering students towards digital games for engineering education influence their use and performance in a serious game called CosmiClean. Findings suggest that while students are enthusiastic about digital learning games, there was no relationship between their perceptions of games for learning and their gameplay performance. However, a relationship was found between the game experiences of students and their gameplay performance.

“…For endogenous variables, this study consists of intention to use which uses three indicators (Zhou, 2013). Furthermore, for exogenous variables consist of perceived ease of use using four indicators (Chawla & Joshi, 2019), perceived enjoyment using four indicators (Nguyen & Nguyen, 2020) and facilitating conditions using four indicators (Wang et al, 2019).…”

The urgency of the study is to analyze the effect of perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and facilitating conditions on the intention to use the TikTok application service in the generation Z group in Indonesia. This research instrument uses an online questionnaire distributed to 210 respondents who are none other than users of the TikTok application from the generation Z group. Next, the researchers tested the hypothesis using a variant-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) called Partial Least Square (PLS) and the SmartPLS version of the application. 3.0 as a tool to analyze it. The results of this research conclude that perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment and facilitating conditions have a positive and significant effect on intention to use. The results of this research prove that factors such as perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and facilitating conditions are important components in the formation of intention to use, so for TikTok application developers this can be taken into consideration for the improvement of TikTok application services in the future. Urgensi penelitian untuk menganalisis pengaruh perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, dan facilitating conditions terhadap intention to use layanan aplikasi TikTok pada kelompok generasi Z di Indonesia. Instrumen penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner online yang dibagikan kepada 210 respoden yang tidak lain adalah pengguna aplikasi TikTok yang berasal dari kelompok generasi Z. Selanjutnya peneliti menguji hipotesis menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) berbasis varian yang disebut Partial Least Square (PLS) dan aplikasi SmartPLS versi 3.0 sebagai alat untuk menganalisisnya. Hasil dari riset ini menyimpulkan faktor perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment dan facilitating conditions berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap intention to use. Hasil riset ini membuktikan bahwa faktor seperti perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, dan facilitating conditions merupakan komponen penting dalam pembentukkan intention to use, sehingga bagi pengembang aplikasi TikTok hal ini dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan pertimbangan guna penyempurnaaan layanan aplikasi TikTok di masa yang akan datang.
