Abstract

Investment-based crowdfunding platforms (IBCP) have revolutionized the financial landscape by providing viable investment opportunities for non-institutional investors. Nonetheless, only a limited amount of attention has been focused on the factors that shape investors’ adoption of these platforms. Therefore, we primarily explore investors’ adoption of IBCP by employing an integrated model combining the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) and the Task-technology Fit model (TTF) while incorporating network externalities and trust. Drawing on a sample of current IBCP investors (n = 303), we found that investors’ behavioural intentions and use behaviour can be explained by performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, habit, network externalities, trust and the TTF. The integrated model explained a higher variance in the endogenous variables than the two baseline models. We contribute to the emerging literature by delivering a new integrated model and provide platform operators with valuable insights into encouraging investors’ adoption behaviour.

投资者对投资型众筹平台的接受和使用:综合视角
投资型众筹平台(IBCP)为非机构投资者提供了可行的投资机会,从而彻底改变了金融业的格局。然而,人们对投资者采用这些平台的因素的关注有限。因此,我们主要通过结合技术接受与使用统一理论 2(UTAUT2)和任务-技术契合模型(TTF)的综合模型,同时结合网络外部性和信任,来探讨投资者对 IBCP 的采用情况。通过对当前 IBCP 投资者(n = 303)的抽样调查,我们发现投资者的行为意向和使用行为可以用绩效预期、努力预期、便利条件、习惯、网络外部性、信任和 TTF 来解释。与两个基线模型相比,综合模型能解释更多的内生变量方差。我们提供了一个新的综合模型,为新兴文献做出了贡献,并为平台运营商提供了鼓励投资者采用行为的宝贵见解。
