This study proposes a research framework that integrates personal innovativeness, perceived risk, cost and enjoyment with technology acceptance model (TAM). We used the proposed model to explore antecedents of consumers’ behavioral intention to adopt M-commerce (mobile commerce).
Excluding missing answers and invalid questionnaire, 477 valid responses were collected. In addition to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), we used structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine relationships among constructs in the proposed model. Our findings indicated that the younger group (under 30) had lower stickiness on M-commerce. Among constructs, perceived enjoyment had the most significantly influence on behavioral intention, and followed by attitude, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and perceived risk. Our research results could be guidance and reference to M-commerce service providers to improve and operate their services.
