Abstract

Though millions of users in developed countries utilize IoT smart home technology, its applicability in underdeveloped countries is limited. This study addresses this gap by unveiling the determinants of IoT smart home technology adoption behavior among consumers in the least developed country. The study has extended the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) by including perceived hedonism, lifestyle, and well-being constructs in the research framework. Data from 355 IoT smart home users were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, perceived hedonism, and lifestyle positively affect behavioral intention. Moreover, behavioral intention positively affects use behavior. In the post-adoption stage, use behavior positively affects multifaceted user well-being. However, effort expectancy and social influence did not affect behavioral intention. The study has a novel theoretical contribution to the extant literature and significantly contributes to technology designers, marketers, elderly users, and government agencies.

消费者采用物联网（IoT）智能家居技术（SHT）行为的决定因素：来自最不发达国家（LDC）的经验证据

虽然发达国家有数百万用户使用物联网智能家居技术，但该技术在不发达国家的适用性却很有限。本研究通过揭示最不发达国家消费者采用物联网智能家居技术行为的决定因素，填补了这一空白。本研究对技术接受和使用统一理论（UTAUT）进行了扩展，将感知享乐主义、生活方式和幸福感纳入了研究框架。研究使用结构方程模型（SEM）分析了来自 355 位物联网智能家居用户的数据。研究结果表明，性能预期、便利条件、感知享乐主义和生活方式会对行为意向产生积极影响。此外，行为意向会对使用行为产生积极影响。在采用后阶段，使用行为会对用户的多方面幸福感产生积极影响。然而，努力预期和社会影响并不影响行为意向。该研究在理论上对现有文献有新的贡献，对技术设计者、营销人员、老年用户和政府机构也有很大帮助。
