Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to establish a comprehensive model integrating variables from the updated unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), expectation-confirmation model (ECM) and trust to determine what factors influence consumers’ decision to continue using food delivery apps (FDA) after the COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan.

Design/methodology/approach

Data was collected from 350 respondents living in Taiwan via Line using a Google Forms link. A total of 333 valid responses were analyzed after 17 invalid questionnaires were eliminated. To test the suggested study paradigm, partial least squares-structural equation modeling was used as the data analysis approach.

Findings

The results indicate FDA users’ continuance intention (CI) is directly significantly affected by performance expectancy, satisfaction and habit. All the constructs of the updated UTAUT theory, confirmation and trust significantly influence the satisfaction of FDA, and users’ satisfaction significantly positively impacts users’ CI.

Originality/value

Although consumers’ intentions toward FDA have previously been the topic of research, there is a paucity of literature that discusses the connections between the variables that influence FDA users’ CI after the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan. By focusing on the relationships between the multiple antecedents of FDA users’ CI, this study contributes to reducing the existing literature gap. Explanation surrounding the elements influencing FDA users’ CI is provided by examining several aspects of FDA usage, including technological and psychological postadoption issues.

研究目的

本研究试图建立一个综合模型, 整合了来自统一接受和使用科技理论(UTAUT)、期望-确认模型(ECM)和信任等变量, 以确定影响消费者在COVID-19疫情爆发后继续使用食品外卖应用(FDA)的因素。

研究方法

本研究针对台湾的居民通过Line平台使用Google Forms链接收集了350份问卷数据, 经过筛选后得到333份有效回复。为了验证所提出的研究范式, 本研究采用了PLS-SEM作为数据分析方法。

研究发现

结果表明, FDA用户的继续使用意图受到性能预期、满意度和习惯的直接显著影响。UTAUT理论、期望确认和信任显著影响FDA用户的满意度, 而用户的满意度对用户的继续使用意图产生积极影响。

研究创新/价值

尽管消费者对FDA的意向不是新的研究的主题, 但在讨论COVID-19疫情后影响FDA用户继续使用意图的变量之间的关系方面, 文献中存在不足。通过探索FDA用户继续使用意图的多个前因关系, 本研究有助于弥补现有文献的空白。通过考察FDA使用的技术和心理因素等多个方面, 本研究提供了解释影响FDA用户继续使用意图的论述。

Abstract

Purpose

COVID-19 halted global tourism, prompting stakeholders to use virtual reality (VR) tourism to maintain interest. Due to technological advancements and wider internet access globally, VR tourism has become increasingly popular. Guided by the attention-interest-desire-action (AIDA) model and the technology acceptance model (TAM) frameworks, and with the inclusion of personal innovativeness, this study aims to clarify consumer intentions toward engaging with VR tourism by investigating factors such as personal innovativeness, interest, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitude and desire.

Design/methodology/approach

Data was gathered from 252 participants using a cross-sectional approach, with partial least squares structural equation modeling used to assess the research model.

Findings

The findings indicate consumers' personal innovativeness strongly influences VR tourism intention, mediated by PU, attitude and desire. VR tourism intention is also significantly impacted by interest in VR tourism and is mediated by PU and PEOU, attitude and desire. PEOU and PU are significantly linked to interest and determine attitude. Attitude, both directly and indirectly, significantly influences VR tourism intention through users' desire, which mediates the relationship. Through multiple group analysis, the path from desire to intention is found to be moderated by age, education and marital status.

Practical implications

Theoretically, this study pioneers a framework that merges AIDA, TAM and personal innovativeness to advance the understanding of VR tourism adoption dynamics and enrich tourism research. Managerially, it provides valuable guidance on targeting communications and technology toward increasing VR tourism engagement and presents a roadmap for industry practitioners.

Originality/value

This research addresses the identified gaps in extant literature by combining TAM and AIDA with personal innovativeness to investigate the process of consumers' VR tourism intention, triggered by consumers' personal innovativeness and interest in VR tourism. The study highlights significant managerial insights for both tourism industry practitioners and academic researchers, which can assist with decision-making to promote VR tourism development.

研究目的

COVID-19 使全球旅游业停滞不前, 促使利益相关者使用虚拟现实 (VR) 旅游来保持兴趣。由于技术进步和全球互联网接入的增长, VR 旅游变得越来越受欢迎。基于注意-兴趣-渴望-行动模型 (AIDA) 和技术接受模型 (TAM) 框架, 并纳入个人创新性, 本研究旨在通过调查个人创新性、兴趣、感知有用性、感知易用性、态度和渴望等因素, 澄清消费者对参与 VR 旅游的意图。

研究设计/方法论

使用横截面方法收集了252名参与者的数据, 并使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模来评估研究模型。

研究发现

研究结果表明, 消费者的个人创新性通过感知有用性、态度和渴望显著影响 VR 旅游意图。VR 旅游意图也受到对 VR 旅游兴趣的显著影响, 并通过感知有用性、感知易用性、态度和渴望进行调节。感知易用性和感知有用性显著与兴趣相关, 并决定态度。态度通过用户的渴望直接和间接地显著影响 VR 旅游意图, 这些渴望调节了这种关系。通过多群组分析, 发现年龄、教育和婚姻状况对渴望与意图之间的路径具有调节作用。

原创性/价值

本研究通过结合 TAM 和 AIDA 与个人创新性来研究消费者的 VR 旅游意图过程, 填补了现有文献中的空白。本研究强调了对旅游业从业者和学术研究人员的重大管理见解, 这些见解可以帮助决策者推动 VR 旅游的发展。

实践意义

从理论上讲, 本研究开创了一个结合 AIDA、TAM 和个人创新性的框架, 以提升对 VR 旅游采用动态的理解, 并丰富旅游研究。从管理角度来看, 它提供了有价值的指南, 帮助定位通信和技术, 以增加 VR 旅游参与度, 并为行业从业者提供了发展路线图。

El COVID-19 detuvo el turismo global, lo que indujo a las partes implicadas a utilizar el turismo de realidad virtual para mantener el nivel de interés. Debido a los avances tecnológicos y al acceso más amplio a Internet a nivel mundial, el turismo de realidad virtual se ha vuelto cada vez más común. Basándose en el modelo de Atención-Interés-Deseo-Acción (AIDA) y en el modelo de aceptación tecnológica (TAM), y con la inclusión de la innovación personal, este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender las intenciones de los consumidores hacia el compromiso con el turismo de realidad virtual investigando factores como la innovación personal, el interés, la utilidad percibida, la facilidad de uso percibida, la actitud y el deseo.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Se recopilaron datos de 252 participantes utilizando un enfoque transversal, y se utilizó la modelización de ecuaciones estructurales de mínimos cuadrados parciales para evaluar el modelo de investigación.

Resultados

Los resultados indican que la innovación personal de los consumidores influye fuertemente en la intención de turismo de realidad virtual mediada por la utilidad percibida, la actitud y el deseo. La intención de turismo de realidad virtual también se ve significativamente afectada por el interés en el turismo de realidad virtual y está mediada por la utilidad percibida y la facilidad de uso percibida, la actitud y el deseo. La facilidad de uso percibida y la utilidad percibida están significativamente relacionadas con el interés y determinan la actitud. La actitud influye tanto directa como indirectamente de manera significativa en la intención de turismo de realidad virtual a través del deseo de los usuarios, que media en la relación. A través del análisis de múltiples grupos, se encontró que la edad, la educación y el estado civil moderan la relación entre el deseo y la intención.
