Understanding individual acceptance and use of information technology is one of the most developed streams of information systems research. This study, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2), is to explore the behavioral intention and use behavior of the junior high school students regarding smartphones and tablet PCs. Furthermore, this study explored whether the UTAUT 2 mode is suitable for the verification of such a study on junior high school students in Taiwan. The research conducted a questionnaire survey, with study samples from junior high school students; 342 valid samples were collected. Smart PLS was used as the SEM analysis tool. The research results indicated that (1) Performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, and habit have positive impacts on behavioral intention. (2) Facilitating conditions, habits, and behavior intention have positive influences on use behavior; (3) Increased experiences strengthen the influence of hedonic motivation to behavioral intention. (4) As their habits increase, girls tend to use smartphones and tablet PCs more frequently than boys do; and (5) This model explained about 82.3% of the variance in behavioral intention to use smartphones and tablet PCs and about 44% of the variance in the use behavior. The relevant findings could be reference for application in education and business. |
