Understanding driver adoption of car navigation systems using the extended technology acceptance model

Abstract

This study proposes an integrated research model for investigating driver adoption of car navigation systems. We consider the potential causal connections between core cognitive and psychological factors and driver intention to use these systems. We extracted possible factors that may significantly affect the perceived usability of car navigation systems from in-depth interviews with two groups of individuals: an expert group and a driver group. Data collected from N = 1045 drivers via an online survey were analysed by structural equation modelling. The results showed that the service & display quality components of the systems were the most significant determinants of driver attitude and intention to use car navigation systems. Two other factors, namely attitude and perceived usefulness, also had impacts on driver intention. Moreover, both satisfaction and service & display quality were affected by perceived system reliability, while usefulness was affected by both perceived locational accuracy and satisfaction. Satisfaction also significantly affected perceived ease of use. In addition, we introduced new external variables to the technology acceptance model (TAM) and validated the causal connections proposed by the original TAM. The present study provides valuable insights into the core factors that significantly affect driver perspectives of and intention to use car navigation systems.

Adoption Intention of Fintech Services for Bank Users: An Empirical Examination with an Extended Technology Acceptance Model

“…This paper holds that brand image (BI) is an intangible asset with economic value, which shows its difference with abstract and distinctive identifiable concepts, thus producing a comprehensive reflection of positive effects on users. The brand effect of service providers has an important influence on the provision of reliable services to users, and it plays a positive role in promoting users' achievements of their intended purposes [47]. Sang et al found that one of the reasons for adopting the government administration information system (GAIS) is higher brand image among peers [48].…”

Antecedents of Behavioral Intention to Use Mobile Telecommunication Services: Effects of Corporate Social Responsibility and Technology Acceptance

“…First, we examined the user data of mobile telecommunication services in South Korea. This means that the findings of the current study are limited in their generalizability [59,60]. Second, the current study did not consider any individual characteristics [61].…”

Determinants of Behavioral Intention to Use South Korean Airline Services: Effects of Service Quality and Corporate Social Responsibility

“…First, the data used in this study were collected in just one nation (South Korea). This means that the generalizability of the findings could potentially be questioned [86][87][88][89]. Second, this study did not consider low-cost airlines in South Korea, because the low-cost airline industry has a complex structure [90].…”
