“…Furthermore, trust in technology has been proven to be a positive factor influencing the intention to use solar technology among farmers. This research finding is consistent with some studies in the field of renewable technology proposed by Adepoju and Akinwale (2019), Tanveer et al (2021), Wall et al (2021), Zulu et al (2021), Asif et al (2023), Rahmani and Naeini (2023). An important discovery of this study is the positive impact of supporting policies on the intention to use solar technology among farmers.…”

This study aims to explain the acceptance of solar technology by farmers in Vietnam. The study combines the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), supplemented with additional factors (concern for the environment, trust in technology, and supporting policies) to address the research objectives. The study uses quota sampling to collect data from 248 farmers in 4 provinces (Hau Giang, Dong Thap, Bac Lieu, and Kien Giang) in the Mekong Delta region, Vietnam. By applying the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, the research results demonstrated the positive influences of various factors on the intention to use solar technology among farmers, including perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, subjective norms, attitude, perceived behavioral control, concern for the environment, trust in technology, and supporting policies. Among these factors, trust in technology was found to have the most impact on the intention to use solar technology among farmers in Vietnam.

“…Numerous studies related to technology acceptance have shown a strong relationship between facilitating conditions and the intention to use technology (Foon & Fah, 2011;Zhou et al, 2019). Facilitating conditions have been proven to be a positive factor influencing the acceptance of renewable energy technology (Adepoju & Akinwale, 2019;Khazaei, 2019;Sun et al, 2020;Nurwidiana et al, 2021;Rahmani & Naeini, 2023). Therefore, the study proposes Hypothesis H5: Facilitating conditions positively impact the intention to use solar technology by enterprises.…”

Objective: This study aims to demonstrate the influencing factors of solar technology acceptance by enterprises in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Method: The research data were collected using the quota sampling method, with a sample size of 292 active businesses in the Mekong Delta: Can Tho City (80 enterprises), Long An Province (77 enterprises), Tien Giang Province (68 enterprises), and Kien Giang Province (67 enterprises). The collected data will be processed using SPSS and AMOS software. The quantitative analyses employed to test the research hypotheses include a reliability test by Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: The study has identified five factors that positively influence the intention to use solar technology by businesses, including effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, and facilitating conditions. Additionally, the study has shown the significant and decisive impact of intention to use on the behavior of using solar technology. Conclusions: The research findings further validate the suitability of the UTAUT in the field of renewable energy technology. The research results will provide important scientific materials for business managers in the solar energy field and researchers studying the acceptance of solar energy technology.

“…In addition, Park [55] showed the significant role of trust in energy technologies in regard to the social acceptance of the diffusion, distribution, and the success of renewable energy technologies. Finally, Rahmani and Bonyadi Naeini [56] found that trust in technology is a precursor of the solar energy technologies acceptance.…”

There has been a growth in interest among academics and professionals in psychological trust dynamics during climate change adaptation. This literature review aimed to examine the research concerning trust dynamics in climate change adaptation from different levels of analysis, encompassing the different phases of adaptation and considering the importance of trust in climate change decision-making. The method consisted of systematically reviewing researches on this topic published in scientific articles, by using appropriate and relevant search keywords (e.g., trust, community, natural hazard, climate change adaptation, decision-making) in academic databases. A total of 25 studies met inclusion criteria. All the articles focused on the latter phases of the climate change adaptation cycle, specifically implementation and monitoring/evaluation, with limited attention devoted to decision-making related to earlier phases of preparation, assessment of risks, and identification and selection of adaptation options. The reviews also indicates that psychological trust is related to different adaptive actions (e.g., adoption of renewable energy technologies), and low- and high-impact mitigation behaviors (e.g., acceptance of paying taxes for actions that mitigate climate change). Therefore, this review underscores the significant role of psychological trust dynamics in shaping individuals’ decision-making processes concerning climate change adaptation, thereby yielding immediate and direct implications for climate systems. Therefore, it is essential to actively promote the culture of trust within the context of climate change adaptation.
