“…Markowitz et al [17], for example, found significant relationships between the three personality traits (i.e., Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness) and the HESB intention. Busic-Sontic and Brick [41] noted that individuals with higher Openness tend to accept green household installations in the UK, which is also supported by He and Veronesi's [42] study on household renewable energy technology adoption in mainland China. Shen et al [27] argued that Conscientiousness presents the most consistency in its correlation with HESB, and Agreeableness and Openness also present positive contributions.…”

“…At home, more open individuals have more opportunities to practice different environmental protection solutions or install novel environmental protection technologies. This might explain the significant correlation between Openness and household energy-efficient technology installation attitudes in two studies in the UK [41] and China [42]. However, office facilities are relatively monotonous with complex rules.…”

Behavior-driven energy conservation has been a promising strategy for reducing building energy consumption as well as carbon emissions. With the intention of revealing the impacts of an individual’s personality basis on energy conservation behavioral attitudes and intentions in households and offices, the present study proposes and conducts an experiment in Xi’an, China with two groups for the investigation of such attitudes towards household energy-saving behavior (HESB) and office energy-saving behavior (OESB), respectively. The research adopts structural equation modeling for experiment data analysis. The analysis results suggest that the two personality traits, Agreeableness and Neuroticism, are significantly related to both HESB and OESB attitudes. Especially, agreeable people tend to present stronger energy-saving attitudes, while individuals with higher Neuroticism are less likely to do so. The results indicate that the impacts of these two traits on energy-saving attitude are found to be less influenced by different environment settings. Further, the results find that Extraversion positively influences energy-saving attitude in the office environment, while Openness only significantly works in the household environment. It is hoped that the findings of the present study can provide informative references to energy-saving intervention design as well as further studies on the spillover of pro-environmental behaviors.

“…For this reason, security and risk perception are major concerns in the field of electronic payment systems Ashrafi and Ng [63] and inhibit the intent to use new mobile-payment tools. Thus, the perception of security of the mobile payment system must be controlled Meharia [68] in order for this type of technology to be successfully used Grassie [48]. However, recently, consumers have been aware of some problems in the use of IT technology dealing with the security of identification, personal information, payments, and other technical information.…”

The emergence and use of facial-recognition payment technology has brought new challenges. Although credit-card payment is quick and easy, it is easy to lose a card or forget the password. Because people use simple passwords and reuse them on different accounts and services, passwords can be shared and cracked. QR payment is inseparable from smart phones, smart phones may be lost, signals may be unstable, and batteries may be exhausted. However, facial-recognition technology, which detects and describes feature vectors without physical contact, directly contributes to overall efficiency, performance, and accuracy. Currently, studies of technical issues of facial-recognition technology and facial-recognition payment systems are very popular. There are many studies that emphasize the working principle of the facial-recognition system, the system's reliability, and the future development trend. However, for non-technical issues, such as from the perspective of consumers, research on the characteristics of facial-recognition payment and the factors affecting consumer's intent to use is rare. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the factors influencing consumers' willingness to use facial-recognition payment systems. This study has selected security, visibility, and expected effort and social image as the feature variables of the facial-recognition payment system. Results in this paper shows that the safety, security, visibility and social image will affect consumers' intent to use the system. It can also influence consumers' intent to use through perceived usefulness. The amount of effort expected not only has direct influence on intent to use but also influences the intent to use by the mediating factor of perceived usefulness. In this article, Openness characteristic (consumer's personality) has a moderating effect on the relationship between security, expected effort and usage intention. INDEX TERMS Facial-recognition payment system, perceived usefulness, openness, intent to use.

“…Studies indicate that perceived ease of use has a positive effect on continuance intention to use e-government (Hamid et al, 2016). Furthermore, perceived ease of use affects new technology adoption positively (He & Veronesi, 2017) and has an influence in e-banking usage (Rodrigues et al, 2016). This study expects to see the positive effect of ease of use on mobile banking adoption.…”

Concerning the digitalism, globalization and competition; offering innovative products or services starts to become a critical issue for banks. Banks adapt its technological infrastructure for mobile banking applications to serve in more efficient and valuable way to their existing and potential customers. Unlike with the western countries, mobile technologies usage in developing countries have skipped lots of steps and become so popular. So for, one of the emerging market was chosen for the data collection and data were collected via internet survey with 451 participants. The effects of innovation characteristics (compatibility, ease of use, perceived usefulness, observability, perceived risk), consumer innovativeness and consumer perceived brand innovativeness on consumer innovation adoption were investigated in a holistic model. The results suggested that innovation characteristics had the most impact on consumer innovation adoption. Among these characteristics, compatibility and observability were most influential factors. Consumer innovativeness also affected adoption of innovations. However, contrary to the expectations, consumer perceived brand innovativeness' effect on adoption was not supported. Future research directions and managerial implications were also given.
