A growing number of studies have provided insight into consumer acceptance of innovative technologies. However, beyond adoption intention, few studies have investigated the impact of point-of-purchase factors on actual adoption behavior. The argumentation is that adoption intentions are shaped long before the consumer enters the sales venue and that, irrespective of behavioral intention, on-site factors will play a decisive role in whether the consumer adopts the technology. As an exemplary self-service technology in the retail industry, this study tested the stated research goal on multimedia kiosks in convenience stores. A mixed qualitative-quantitative research design was applied. The findings confirm that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are important antecedents to behavioral intention. With regard to point-of-purchase situational factors, this study finds that waiting time, consumer’s need for interaction, level of crowding, and location visibility, all significantly moderate with behavioral intention and actual adoption. |
