Summary: | This paper aims to examine the influence of Internet of Things (IoT) usage on grassroots innovators’ sustainability in Malaysia. The study is one of the first to address IoT usage on grassroots innovators’ sustainability in Malaysia. It is a much-needed new model of the framework for the influence of the Internet of Things (IoT) usage on the grassroots innovators by determining and expanding the two factors (i.e. perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) on the sustainability of grassroots innovators in Malaysia. This framework integrate principal element, act as a basis in establishing the development of conceptual framework. The study suggested for grassroots innovators to gain full advantage of IoT functions and applications and contribute as part of the active nation’s interest towards a knowledge-based economy. The study focuses on grassroots innovators in Malaysia. The only database available is at Malaysia Innovation Foundation /Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia (YIM). A sample is obtained from 335 grassroots innovators in seven zones across Malaysia. The study is one of the first to address IoT usage on grassroots innovators’ sustainability in Malaysia. The data will be analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to ensure the accuracy and validity of the findings. SEM is expected to demonstrate the influence of IoT usage to enable the sustainability of grassroots innovators in Malaysia. The results should provide insights on how the grassroots innovators in Malaysia and similar communities in other countries can sustain their innovation capacity by using IoT. © 2021, ASM Science Journal.
