Abstract
This research examines the factors influencing the success or failure of mobile payment systems (MPSs) in the travel sector. The research makes use of components from innovation resistance theory (IRT), coping theory (CP), and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT 2). The data were gathered from 503 travelers in Malaysia, and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and SmartPLS were used to analyze the data. Usage, risk, and tradition barriers from IRT significantly influenced tourists' intention to use MPS. Furthermore, all direct hypotheses for CP components were supported, except for the mediating role of satisfaction. Additionally, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and habit (UTAUT 2) were identified as critical factors shaping tourists' intention to use MPS. These findings are crucial for tourist operators, banks, and governmental agencies to facilitate smooth and trackable financial transactions in the travel and tourism sector.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Tourism Research promotes and enhances research developments in the field of tourism. The journal provides an international platform for debate and dissemination of research findings whilst also facilitating the discussion of new research areas and techniques. IJTR continues to add a vibrant and exciting channel for those interested in tourism and hospitality research developments. The scope of the journal is international and welcomes research that makes original contributions to theories and methodologies. It continues to publish high quality research papers in any area of tourism, including empirical papers on tourism issues. The journal welcomes submissions based upon both primary research and reviews including papers in areas that may not directly be tourism based but concern a topic that is of interest to researchers in the field of tourism, such as economics, marketing, sociology and statistics. All papers are subject to strict double-blind (or triple-blind) peer review by the international research community.
