Description
Summary:This research explores the key factors influencing smartphone users' behavioural intention to adopt mobile e-wallet in Malaysia using technology acceptance model (TAM) and additional extensions, including individual mobility, design, security and personal innovativeness. Data was gathered from 226 smartphone users who never had prior experience with mobile e-wallet and analysed using the partial least squares (PLS) technique. The obtained results verified that the TAM model along with the aforementioned extensions had a high exploratory power in explaining non-adopters' behavioural intention to use mobile e-wallet. Perceived usefulness (PU) and attitude were found to impact behavioural intention to use mobile e-wallet substantially. The findings of this research would assist mobile e-wallet service providers in comprehending the consumers' perceptions of technology and indirectly contribute to their system improvement. Besides, the government and policymakers would find this study helpful in developing a suitable strategic framework and policy to materialise a cashless society.
