    Behavioral intentions toward air purifier adoption in Thai municipal offices for sustainable indoor air quality
    (2026-12-01)
    Taghipour, Amirhossein

    ;
    As outdoor air pollution in Thailand increases and indoor environments begin to trap the accumulation of fine particulate matter (PM 2. 5) outside and produce it inside, the protection of indoor air quality (IAQ) in municipal offices is an issue of public-health concern. In this paper, we test determinants of the behavioral intention to use (BIU) portable air purifiers in municipal executives by combining the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and technology acceptance model (TAM) with a structural equation modelling (SEM) model based on a survey of n = 320 municipal executives across the country. Findings reveal that the perceived innovativeness and effectiveness of air purifiers, as a constitute of a key antecedent of adoption, has positive and significantly large standardized path coefficients both directly affecting BIU and indirectly, through perceived behavioral control (PBC) and perceived ease of use (PEOU). Results also indicate that BIU is related to environmental air characteristics (EAC) in the perception of executives regarding ambient and indoor air conditions and that this influences adoption through PBC and, indirectly through performance expectancy (PE) (all significant paths p < 0.001). Collectively, the evidence cannot cause an effect but indicates strong in-direct pathways that can be used to support an explanation of technology acceptance in the workplaces of the public sector. The findings highlight the significance of the user-centered design, the ability to build capabilities, as well as to communicate the air-purifier performance in a clear way helping to improve perceived control and expectancy. This research can inform policy-makers with respect to ad-ministration of cities because it connects the concepts of IAQ management, occupational health, and sustainable procurement and emphasizes how convenient data dashboards and online visualizations of air quality can shape the willingness of executives to implement air purifying technologies.

    The study aimed to determine which factors affected a Thai general practitioner’s (GP) intent to take integrative medicine and health (IMH) training. From the literature review, it was noted that IMH has other similar programs globally with names such as complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and complementary and integrative medical procedures (CIM). Additionally, three latent variables were selected for the study and used in the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM) LISREL 9.10 path analysis of the five hypotheses. The SEM results for each GP’s training attendance intention (TAI) discovered that first in importance was each medical professional’s learning ability (LA), then their perception of the innovative training course (ITC), and finally, their innovative attitude (IA). Final determination was then made that all the causal variables in the model had a positive influence on TAI, with the variability of factors influencing TAI (R<sup>2</sup>) at 41%. The three causal variables determined to affect TAI had total effect values of 0.64 (LA), 0.52 (ITC), and 0.43 (IA), respectively.

    Adoption of sustainable on-farm technologies is essential to minimize environmental impacts and improve the sustainability and biosecurity of the livestock industry. Despite growing interest in precision livestock farming, no prior study has examined the psychological and behavioral determinants of dairy farmers' adoption of automated disinfectant production systems, particularly in developing economies. The current research uses structural equation modeling to investigate the determinants of adoption intention for a novel automated on-farm disinfectant production system that requires minimal external chemicals and generates no waste. The data were gathered from 320 members of the Dairy Farming Cooperative of Thailand. The hypothesized model includes the constructs of innovation characteristics, trust in innovation, perceived usefulness and perceived value to explain adoption intention. The model had a good fit (χ²/df = 1.22, RMSEA = 0.02, CFI = 0.99) and accounted for 73% of the variability in adoption intention. Among the variables studied, perceived value showed the strongest direct influence on adoption, followed by perceived usefulness. In addition, innovation characteristics exerted the greatest overall influence on adoption intention through the intermediary factors of trust, perceived usefulness and perceived value. It becomes evident that, to foster sustainable innovation in agriculture, it is essential to convey a value proposition that goes well beyond its functional aspects, with trust an indispensable factor in the process. The outlined model provides theoretical and practical views that can enhance the implementation of innovative livestock management techniques.
