Abstract

Purpose This study aims to establish whether three technology-specific attributes – convenience, compatibility with cultural needs and social reputation – influence the sustained use of clean cooking technologies in Uganda’s households. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a cross-sectional and correlational research design. A survey was conducted with 125 households. The data were analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS. Findings The results indicate that, in contrast to convenience, social reputation and compatibility with cultural needs significantly influence the sustained use of clean cooking technologies in Uganda’s households. Research limitations/implications This study focused on the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area; hence, several households in other urban centers and rural communities were excluded from the study. In addition, technology-specific attributes only accounted for 34.4% of the variation in the sustained use of clean cooking technologies in Uganda, leaving 65.6 unexplained. Therefore, the authors recommend that future studies look at other technology-specific attributes that may influence the sustained use of clean cooking technologies in Uganda’s households. Originality/value This study provides initial evidence of technology-specific attributes and the sustained use of clean cooking technologies based on the expectation–confirmation model.

乌干达持续使用清洁烹饪技术：技术特性的影响

目的本研究旨在确定三个技术特定属性——便利性、与文化需求的兼容性和社会声誉——是否影响乌干达家庭持续使用清洁烹饪技术。设计/方法/方法本研究采用了横断面和相关研究设计。对125户家庭进行了调查。使用SPSS和Smart PLS.Findings对数据进行了分析。结果表明，与便利性相比，社会声誉和与文化需求的兼容性显著影响乌干达家庭持续使用清洁烹饪技术。研究局限性/含义本研究侧重于大坎帕拉都市区；因此，其他城市中心和农村社区的几个家庭被排除在研究之外。此外，在乌干达持续使用清洁烹饪技术的变化中，技术特定属性仅占34.4%，还有65.6个原因无法解释。因此，作者建议未来的研究着眼于可能影响乌干达家庭持续使用清洁烹饪技术的其他技术特定属性。独创性/价值本研究基于预期-确认模型，提供了技术特定属性和清洁烹饪技术持续使用的初步证据。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Energy Sector Management aims to facilitate dissemination of research on issues relating to supply management (covering the entire supply chain of resource finding, extraction, production, treatment, conversion, transportation, distribution and retail supply), demand and usage management, waste management, customer and other stakeholder management, and solutions thereto. The journal covers all forms of energy (non-renewable and renewable), forms of supply (centralised or decentralised), ownership patterns (public or private, cooperative, joint, or any other), market structures (formal, informal, integrated, disintegrated, national, international, local, etc.) and degress of commoditisation (e.g. internationally traded, regionally traded, non-traded, etc.). The journal aims to cover a wide range of subjects relevant to the management of the energy sector, including but not limited to: Management of scarce resources (economic, financial, human and natural), projects, activities and concerns (e.g. regulatory, social and environmental aspects), technologies and knowledge Business strategy, policy and planning as well as decision support systems for energy sector management Business organisation, structure and environment, and changes thereto Globalisation and multi-cultural management Management of innovation, change and transition.
