Are men from Mars, women from Venus? Investigating the determinants behind the intention to use fully automated taxis

Acceptance by customers is key to the success of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs). However, only a small group of early technology-savvy customers currently use such vehicles, while the general population does not. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, Theory of Perceived Risk, and perceived threat of unemployment...

Are creative users more apt in reusing and adopting Open Government Data (OGD)? Gender differences

Open Government Data (OGD) has been considered as a potent instrument for value creation and innovation by a range of stakeholders. Given that individual ingenuity is a function of individual and environmental factors, it is important to understand how the OGD adoption and usage is a factor of creative performance behaviors (CPB), viz.,...

Do personality traits influence the user's behavioral intention to adopt and use Open Government Data (OGD)? An empirical investigation

The academic interest in the Open Government Data (OGD) domain has been burgeoning over the years. Conceding that the prime focus of an OGD initiative is its further re-use for value creation and innovation by stakeholders, the present study seeks to underscore the role of HEXACO personality traits on behavioral intention (BI) to adopt and...

A structural equation modeling approach for the acceptance of driverless automated shuttles based on constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and the Diffusion of Innovation Theory

The present study investigated the attitudes and acceptance of automated shuttles in public transport among 340 individuals physically experiencing the automated shuttle ‘Emily’ from Easymile in a mixed traffic environment on the semi-public EUREF (Europäisches Energieforum) campus in Berlin. Automated vehicle acceptance was modelled as a...

User Acceptance of Automated Vehicles in Public Transport

The acceptance of automated vehicles is a necessary condition for realizing the benefits of road vehicle automation. The objective of the thesis was to examine the acceptance of automated vehicles feeding public transport. The thesis investigated the factors contributing to user acceptance, as well as the interrelations of those factors. It was...

Factors influencing the acceptance and use of a bicycle sharing system: Applying an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT)

This study explores which factors influence bicycle sharing systems acceptance as a new transportation technology by identifying and describing their relationships to intention and usage behaviour. Using the latest version of technology acceptance models (UTAUT2), this study examines the effect of Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy,...

Examining open government data (OGD) usage in India through UTAUT framework

Purpose: This paper aims to examine the use and acceptance of open government data (OGD) of different stakeholder groups in India. Design/methodology/approach: Following an empirical investigation among 244 respondents in India, the paper deploys path analysis via LISREL. The conceptual construction of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use...

The Acceptance and Use of Open Data infrastructures - Drawing upon UTAUT and ECT

While governments and researchers often focus on the opening of data through open data infrastructures, the adoption and use of open data infrastructures has received less attention, despite the fact that this use should result in the envisioned benefits. This study aims to examine to which extent and by which factors the acceptance and use of...

Acceptance and use predictors of open data technologies: Drawing upon the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology
