This study aims to explore the role of trust and effect of age in the process of technology acceptance.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the role of trust and effect of age in the process of technology acceptance.

Design/methodology/approach

Using data collected from an online survey, this study conducts structural equation modeling to assess the relationship between technology adoption and users’ trust in that technology.

Findings

Findings of this study indicate that the formation of trust in technology is based on user experiences (i.e. the perception of usefulness and ease of use), while the perception of trust in technology is similar to human-like trust (i.e. competence and benevolence). This study clarifies that trust has a mediating effect on the relationship between perceived technology ease of use and behavioral intention to use. Trust belief of competence is found to be more effective on adoption behavior than trust belief of benevolence. In exploring the moderating effect of age, results find that easy use of an app is crucial for elderly people to create trust belief in technical competence and develop behavioral control over such technologies. Trust in technology is an essential factor that should be widely applied when analyzing technology adoption behaviors.

Originality/value

This study contributes in three ways. First, it reveals both how trust in technology is formed and the effect of that trust on technology adoption. Second, it extends the discussion of age as a variable in tourism app usage. Third, it shows how the experience of usage influences intentions towards the adoption of tourism apps.

重新认识旅游APP的技术信任:年龄的调节作用

研究目的

本研究旨在探索技术信任和年龄对技术采用行为的作用。

研究设计/方法/途径

本研究通过发放网络问卷收集数据,并构建结构方程模型验证并分析技术信任感知对技术采用行为的影响方式。

研究结果

研究发现,技术信任是基于用户体验而形成的(如,对技术有用性和易用性的感知),用户对技术信任的感知与人际信任相似(如,对其能力信任和善意信任的感知)。研究结果表明,技术信任对感知技术易用性与使用意向之间的关系具有显著的中介作用,在这个过程中,用户更关注技术的能力信任而非其善意信任。此外,年龄对实现技术信任有一定调节作用,如,对于老年人用户而言,易用性更容易建立技术的能力信任,并有效帮助增强其对技术的控制感知。因此,技术信任应作为技术采用行为研究的重要考量因素。

研究原创性/价值

首先,研究揭示了技术信任的实现路径,并解释了用户的技术信任感知对技术采用行为的影响方式。 其次,本文将年龄作为调节变量检验了其对用户技术采用行为的作用。 最后,本文讨论了旅游APP使用体验是如何影响用户采用意向的。

Abstract

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting e-trust perception of tourists using Web-based travel intermediaries (WBTIs). Cognitive and affective attitude components are believed to be important in assessing the e-trust perception of tourists. However, this paper aims to investigate if self-efficacy would be an important predictor for e-trust in the context of WBTIs.

Design/methodology/approach

The quantitative research method is used in this study. Data were collected by the survey method from the tourists who visited Istanbul/Turkey and made their bookings via Web-based travel intermediaries. Hierarchical linear regression analysis is used to investigate to which extent age/gender/years of usage, self-efficacy, cognitive and affective components are affecting tourists’ e-trust perception.

Findings

According to the study results, self-efficacy, the attitude components, in addition to the demographic variables, predict a significant amount of variance (45%) in e-trust for Web-based travel intermediaries. Besides attitude components, self-efficacy is put forward as significantly important in the perception of e-trust.

Originality/value

The novelty of the current study is that it uses hierarchical regression to test if self-efficacy would be an important predictor for e-trust while examining the effect of various predictive variables in sequential order. Therefore, the relative importance of this e-trust predictor can be evaluated based on how much it contributes to the prediction over and above other important antecedents of e-trust according to the literature. This study provides evidence that the social cognitive theory may be useful in understanding e-trust in online tourist behavior.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to compare the relative importance of tangible compensation across the offline and online service mediums, and assess tangible compensation as a trust recovery tactic.

Methodology

This study is based on a 3 (compensation level: 20%, 50%, 100%) × 2 (compensation type: refund, coupon) × 2 (service medium: offline, online) scenario-based experimental design.

Findings

The offline and online customers exhibit different satisfaction for the respective values of both the immediate and delayed compensation types. Moreover, offline customers exhibit more trust in the firm when they receive a refund, whereas their online counterparts demonstrate a higher trust when provided with a coupon.

Practical implications

For a service failure such as the one presented in the experimental study’s scenario, a lower (higher) value coupon will generate more (less) satisfaction compared to providing the same value as a refund. Firms will be better off by providing partial compensation in the form of a coupon, rather than a refund.

Originality

Unlike most studies of service recovery, this research takes into account the perceived differences of various tangible compensations to provide a comparison of offline and online customers’ recovery preferences. Furthermore, the previous studies have not focused on trust restoration and assessed causes and effects of trust based on trust at one point in time i.e. trust after recovery. While this study has included restored trust as a variable in the conceptual model.

Propósito

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comparar la importancia relativa de la compensación tangible en los medios de servicio offline y online, y evaluar la compensación tangible como táctica de recuperación de la confianza.

Metodología

Este estudio se basa en un diseño experimental basado en 3 (nivel de compensación: 20%, 50%, 100%) x 2 (tipo de compensación: reembolso, cupón) x 2 (medio de servicio: offline, online).

Conclusiones

Los clientes offline y online muestran una satisfacción diferente para los valores respectivos de los tipos de compensación inmediata y diferida. Además, los clientes offline muestran más confianza en la empresa cuando reciben un reembolso, mientras que sus homólogos online demuestran una mayor confianza cuando se les proporciona un cupón.

Implicaciones prácticas

Para un fallo del servicio como el presentado en el escenario del estudio experimental, un cupón de menor (mayor) valor generará más (menos) satisfacción en comparación con proporcionar el mismo valor como reembolso. Las empresas saldrán ganando si ofrecen una compensación parcial en forma de cupón, en lugar de un reembolso.

Originalidad

A diferencia de la mayoría de los estudios sobre la recuperación de servicios, esta investigación tiene en cuenta las diferencias percibidas de varias compensaciones tangibles para ofrecer una comparación de las preferencias de recuperación de los clientes offline y online. Además, los estudios anteriores no se han centrado en el restablecimiento de la confianza y han evaluado las causas y los efectos de la confianza basándose en la confianza en un momento determinado, es decir, la confianza después de la recuperación. En cambio, este estudio ha incluido la confianza restaurada como una variable en el modelo conceptual.

目的

本研究旨在比较有形补偿在离线和在线服务媒介中的相对重要性, 并评估有形补偿作为一种信任恢复策略。

方法

本研究基于3(补偿水平:20%, 50%, 100%)×2(补偿类型:退款, 优惠券)×2(服务媒介:线下, 线上)的情景实验设计。

研究结果

线下和线上的顾客对即时和延迟补偿类型的各自数值表现出不同的满意度。此外, 离线顾客在收到退款时表现出对公司的更多信任, 而他们的在线顾客在得到优惠券时表现出更多的信任。

实际意义

对于像实验研究中提出的那种服务失败, 与提供相同价值的退款相比, 价值较低(较高)的优惠券会产生更多(更少)的满意度。企业通过以优惠券的形式提供部分补偿, 而不是退款, 会有更好的效果。

原创性

与大多数关于服务恢复的研究不同, 这项研究考虑到了各种有形补偿的感知差异, 以提供离线和在线顾客恢复偏好的比较。此外, 以前的研究没有关注信任的恢复, 而是基于一个时间点的信任, 即恢复后的信任来评估信任的原因和影响。而本研究将恢复的信任作为概念模型中的一个变 量。

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to establish and empirically test a theoretical framework to explain the impacts of health quick response (QR) technology trust and acceptance on responsible pandemic travel.

Design/methodology/approach

The study integrates trust, confidence and cooperation theory and the technology acceptance model (TAM) to address the research aim. Adopting a quota sampling approach, a national online survey of 1,089 respondents was conducted across mainland China. Structural equation modelling is applied to evaluate the proposed hypotheses.

Findings

Results indicate that health QR code technology trust can improve travel confidence and mitigate travel fear, which influences travel intention and social distancing practices among tourists. However, tourists’ acceptance of health QR codes encourages social distancing behaviours rather than travel intentions.

Research limitations/implications

The study illustrates the role of health information technology in improving tourist confidence and responsible travel behaviours in a pandemic context. Furthermore, the research supports and adds to the TAM by investigating the relationships between acceptance of health-related technology and pandemic travel behaviour.

Practical implications

This research helps the local government and tourism managers to evaluate the effectiveness of health QR codes in pandemic travel in China. Strategies for improving tourists’ trust, technology adoption and responsible behaviours are provided.

Originality/value

This study differs from existing literature by investigating the innovative technology (i.e., health QR codes) in pandemic travel. Given the prevalence of health QR codes after the COVID-19 outbreak, it fills a knowledge gap and provides advice to improve pandemic travel safety.

研究目的

本文旨在建立并实证检验一个理论框架, 以解释健康快速反应 (QR) 技术信任和接受对负责任的大流行旅行的影响。

研究设计/方法/途径

该研究整合了信任、信心和合作理论以及技术接受模型来解决研究目标。 采用配额抽样的方法, 在中国大陆对 1089 名受访者进行了全国在线调查。 应用结构方程模型来评估提出的假设。

研究发现

结果表明, 健康二维码技术信任可以提高旅行信心并减轻旅行恐惧, 这会影响游客的旅行意愿和社会疏远做法。 然而, 游客对健康二维码的接受鼓励了社会疏远行为, 而不是旅游意图。

研究局限性/影响

该研究说明了健康信息技术在大流行背景下提高游客信心和负责任的旅行行为方面的作用。 此外, 该研究通过调查健康相关技术的接受度与流行病旅行行为之间的关系, 支持并补充了技术接受度模型。

研究实际意义

这项研究帮助当地政府和旅游管理者评估健康二维码在中国大流行旅游中的有效性。 提供了提高游客信任度、技术采用和负责任行为的策略。

研究独创性/价值

这项研究与现有文献的不同之处在于调查了大流行旅行中的创新技术(即健康二维码)。 鉴于 COVID-19 爆发后健康二维码的流行, 它填补了知识空白并提供了改善大流行旅行安全的建议。

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to verify the existence of loyalty among fast-food customers and its dependence on fast-food service quality, comprising service quality, food quality and store atmosphere. This study also examines the direct and mediating role of constructs such as satisfaction and trust in creating loyalty in fast-food restaurants (FFRs).

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of 456 fast-food customers was collected using a structured questionnaire. This paper uses partial least squares path modeling to test and validate the study’s research model and hypotheses.

Findings

The results suggest that fast-food service quality has a positive influence on satisfaction, trust and loyalty among fast-food customers. The findings also reveal a mediating effect of trust (partial mediation), increasing the effect of satisfaction on loyalty.

Practical implications

This study reinforces the importance of considering the attributes that influence customer loyalty. Specifically, food quality is considered key to increasing loyalty among FFR customers.

Originality/value

This study proposes an integrated model influenced by three factors that contribute to fast-food service quality (i.e. food quality, service quality, atmosphere) along with classical variables used in the marketing literature (i.e. satisfaction, trust) in the creation of FFR loyalty. This study also follows modern procedures in PLS-SEM by challenging conventional methods.

研究目的

本论文旨在验证快餐消费者的忠诚度及其与快餐质量之间的关系, 其中质量包括服务质量、食物质量、和饭店氛围。本论文还旨在检验满意度和信任度在快餐饭店(FFRs)的消费者忠诚中的直接和间接作用。

研究设计/方法/途径

本论文采用结构问卷采样形式, 456位快餐消费者为问卷样本。本论文采用偏最小二乘回归(PLS)的路径建模数据分析方法来分析和验证模型及假设。

研究结果

快餐服务质量对于快餐消费者的满意度、信任度、和忠诚度有着积极促进作用。此外, 本论文发现信任度对于增加满意度对忠诚度的影响有着中介调节作用(部分中介调节)。

研究实践意义

本论文重新提出了影响消费者忠诚度的各种因素。具体是, 食物质量是增加FFR消费者忠诚度的重中之重。

研究原创性/价值

本论文提出一体化模型包括三种快餐服务衡量因子(食物质量、服务质量、环境)以及营销文献中常用变量(满意度、信任度), 来检验FFR忠诚度。本论文还挑战传统研究方法, 采用PLS-SEM现代程序来进行分析研究。

Abstract

Purpose

Collaborative consumption has caught researchers’ attention due to its rapid growth. Drawing on the causal relationship between cognition, affection and conation and collaborative consumption literature, this paper aims to investigate the drivers of brand loyalty and revisit intentions in the context of Airbnb.

Design/methodology/approach

The data was collected from 399 Airbnb users using the online survey. Partial least square structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses. Mediation tests were conducted with multiple mediation analyses.

Findings

The study reveals that brand likeability enhanced by customers’ trust in both hosts and Airbnb drives satisfaction, brand loyalty and revisit intention. Moreover, satisfaction impacts revisit intention through a full mediation of brand loyalty.

Research limitations/implications

The role that trust and likability play in enhancing brand loyalty and the intention to revisit is not well documented in the literature on collaborative consumption. The results show that consumers’ trust (cognition) is the first step to the success of collaborative consumption, and consumers’ trust in both platform and hosts will make the Airbnb brand more attractive and likable. When brand likability (affection) grows deeper through more engagement, consumers are more willing (intention) to spend more time staying in Airbnb accommodation.

Originality/value

Although existing literature discusses trust from the consumers’ standpoint and categorizes it into two types, the influence of trust on brand likability has never been tested before. Based on the causal relationship between cognition, affection and conation, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first one investigating trust in both the platform and hosts as key drivers of brand likability, which enhances customer satisfaction, brand loyalty and revisit intentions in the Airbnb context.

研究目的

协作消费由于其快速增长而引起了研究人员的关注。 基于文献中对于认知、情感和意向与协作消费之间的因果关系, 本文调查了 Airbnb 背景下品牌忠诚度和重访意图的驱动因素。

研究设计/方法/途

数据是通过在线调查从 399 名 Airbnb 用户那里收集的。 PLS-SEM 用于检验假设。 中介测试通过多重中介分析进行。

研究发

研究表明, 客户对房东和 Airbnb 的信任增强了品牌喜爱度, 从而提高了满意度、品牌忠诚度和重访意愿。 此外, 满意度通过品牌忠诚度的全面调节影响重访意愿。

究原创性

然已有文献从消费者的角度讨论信任并将其分为两种类型, 但信任对品牌好感度的影响从未被检验过。 基于认知、情感和意向之间的因果关系, 本文首次调查了平台和房东的信任作为品牌好感度的关键驱动因素, 从而提高了 Airbnb 背景下的客户满意度、品牌忠诚度和重访意愿。
