Examining the Factors Affecting Behavioural Intention to Adopt Mobile Health in Jordan

Health organizations worldwide express a considerable attention to utilize Mobile technology applications to provide a better health services to their people. One of the most emerging apps in this regard is Mobile health (M-health). Large amount of efforts, money, and time have been invested to provide such innovative technology. Yet, the adoption rate of these systems is still low. Additionally, such system has never been examined over the Jordanian context. Thus, this study aims to test the most important factors that could shape the intention of Jordanian people to use Mhealth. Four factors: perceived usefulness, social influence, awareness, and innovativeness were proposed as key predictor of behavioural intention. Data was collected using convenience sample size of 365 and was analyzed using structural equation modelling. The main statistical findings supported the role of perceived usefulness, social influence, and innovativeness. More discussion will also be provided regarding the current study practical and theoretical implications.

Digital Payments Adoption Research: A Review of Factors Influencing Consumer’s Attitude, Intention and Usage

Digital payment methods (DPMs) are evolving fast but they are yet to be widely adopted particularly in the developing countries. An initial review of literature suggests that several studies have already been conducted on this topic for understanding antecedents of digital payments adoption. However, only a few studies have examined this emerging topic in the context of developing countries. The aim of this submission is to identify antecedents of consumer adoption and usage of digital payments methods. The results of this literature analysis suggest that constructs related to technology acceptance model (TAM) and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) along with trust and risk are the most frequently examined constructs for determining consumer’s behavioural intention to use and usage of DPMs. The findings from this work can help researchers selecting factors for inclusion in the future empirical works on this topic.
