    As the standard of living in society continues to rise, more and more individuals are engaging in fitness activities. With the impact of COVID-19 on society, people are gradually realizing the importance of health. Online fitness platforms have been developed to solve some of the problems of the traditional fitness industry. However, if the industry builders of online fitness platforms want to make the platform a good prospect for development, they must understand the user's intention and clarify the factors that influence the user's intention of using online fitness platforms. Due to cost and other reasons, this study was conducted in Wuqing District, Tianjin, and the sample was collected only from this area. The population in the survey area who did not use the online fitness platform was approximately 1,038,153 according to the survey and statistics. This study examined user characteristics, social environment, community influence, publicity and promotion of the platform, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived value, and perceived trust, all based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). 385 respondents who had not used an online fitness platform were invited to participate in the online survey for this study. The data were analyzed using descriptive, correlation, and multiple regression analyses. It was concluded that social environment, community influence, perceived ease of use, and perceived value all had a positive impact on the intention to use. The above predictor variables have approximately 82 % explanatory power. This study further enriches the literature of previous related studies, which can enable relevant companies to improve the quality of the platform itself and enhance the positive perception of online fitness platform users.

    Mobile technology acceptance for library information service: A theoretical model
    (2013-01-01)
    Vongjaturapat, Sununthar
    ;
    The rapid growth of mobile technology provides a great potential to support users to work in a dynamic mobile environment. Research findings indicate that students expect to access their institutes' service from their handheld devices. To cope with this trend, this paper aims to propose a theoretical model for academic institutes and service providers by addressing the following question: What are the key determinant factors for the mobile technology acceptance in using library information services? How to integrate between patron' perspective and technical perspective in the process of mobile technology acceptance in library context? While the Venketesh (2012), UTAUT2 model helps understanding and predicting the drivers of acceptance of new information technologies by consumers, the Goodhue (1995), task-technology fit model helps explaining how technology leads to the impact of user involvement on performance when technology provides features and support that fit the requirement of a task. Adapting the UTAUT2 model requires re-specification to suit a specific information system. The re-specific model introduces new constructs and new measuring instruments. New constructs will add to the UTAUT2 model as well as including integration variables namely technology characteristics and task characteristics. The research includes both exploratory and quantitative techniques. The structural equation model will be used for data analysis. The contribution of the model is a design guideline for the mobile technology function that is consistent with the library context. © 2013 Infonomics Society.

    This study proposes a conceptual framework to examine the adoption of mobile financial technology (FinTech) by integrating the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) with a combined Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The framework investigates how technology readiness dimensions, which are optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity, influence users’ perceptions of mobile FinTech in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These perceptions subsequently shape users’ attitudes toward using mobile FinTech, which, together with subjective norms and perceived behavioral control, drive the behavioral intention to adopt the technology. A quantitative survey will be conducted and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling to evaluate how factors influence behavioral intention to adopt mobile financial technology within the integrated TAM, TPB, and TRI framework. Through this integrated approach, the study aims to provide empirical insights that underpin mobile FinTech adoption, enabling service providers and policymakers to design more effective strategies to enhance user acceptance and utilization of mobile FinTech services.

    ;
    This research aims to investigate the factors influencing the organizational survival of retail food businesses during the COVID-19 outbreak in Thailand to develop a conceptual framework. The study involves a comprehensive review of domestic and international literature regarding organizational survival factors. It seeks to address the gaps identified in previous research conducted in Thailand, which has yet to study survival factors in service businesses. The exploration of theories about survival, as well as related theories, revealed the main theories that helped researchers to understand the causes of adaptation, human adaptive behaviour and the process of human adaptation when there is an accident or a change in life, including the results that occur. Humans must adapt using intelligence to acclimatize and survive when facing change in life. The theory mentioned by the researcher is Roy's adaptation model. The findings of this research are expected to offer a model approach for future data collection. In order to obtain research results that can benefit retail food business operators in the country, please enable them to utilize the research findings for adaptation and survival in the business.

    ;
    Global primary transportation networks are affected by challenges associated with carbon emissions and rising oil prices. A growing population is opting for electric vehicles (EVs) because of their independent operation without reliance on gasoline and their lower pollution emissions. Establishing a charging infrastructure is necessary to stimulate consumer willingness to pay for EVs. Therefore, this study explored the impact of charging infrastructure on the willingness to pay, as well as the mediating role of driving experience and behavior intentions, using the theory of planned behavior. A quantitative methodology was employed, whereby data were gathered via a survey questionnaire distributed among Thai users residing in Bangkok, Thailand. Statistical analysis was conducted on data collected from 231 potential consumers using structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the variables. This study revealed that charging infrastructure positively and significantly enhances the driving experience. The driving experience of an EV significantly affects behavior intentions, and positive behavior intentions significantly affect willingness to pay for an EV. Additionally, this study tested the sequential mediation of driving experience and behavior intentions, and the results revealed partial mediation. Furthermore, this study's findings indicate that the government and EV manufacturers should invest in developing charging infrastructure to enhance consumers' willingness to pay.
