Abstract

Background: This study investigates the determinants that influence the user's behavioral intention to use cloud computing in adopter and non-adopter firms. The research model is based on the theory of the Valence Framework of Behavioral Beliefs and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The present study examined the factors of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived ubiquity, perceived benefits, perceived costs and perceived risks in determining behavioral intention to use cloud computing for the adopter and non-adopter firms. Method: Data were collected using a questionnaire-based survey method. The valid responses received were 458. The sample size of adopters and non-adopter of cloud computing were 239 and 219, respectively. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis. Data analysis was done separately for both samples of the adopter and non-adopter firms The results showed that, for adopters firms, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, ubiquity, perceived benefits, and perceived risks were found to have a significant and direct influence on behavioral intention to use cloud computing. For non-adopters, perceived usefulness, perceived ubiquity, perceived benefits, perceived costs, and perceived risks were found to have a significant and direct influence on behavioral intention to use cloud computing. A comparison testing was also performed by examining the difference in the strength of path coefficients between adopters and non-adopters firms. Results: The findings showed that the impact of favorable factors of perceived ubiquity and perceived benefits were found relatively more significant in the case of adopter firms than negative factors. Likewise, the impact of negative factors of perceived risks and perceived costs were found relatively more significant in the case of non-adopter firms. Conclusions : The major contribution of this study is that it contributes to the understanding of progressive changes in the impact of behavioral beliefs and cognitive factors on behavioral intention to use cloud computing in adopter and non-adopter firms. This study also provides managers' practical understandings for cloud computing adoption during each phase of the adoption process.
云计算采用的决定因素:比较研究
背景:本研究调查了在采用和未采用云计算的企业中影响用户使用云计算行为意向的决定因素。研究模型基于行为信念效价框架理论和技术接受模型(TAM)。本研究考察了感知易用性、感知有用性、感知无处不在性、感知收益、感知成本和感知风险等因素,以确定采用和非采用云计算的公司使用云计算的行为意愿。方法:采用问卷调查法收集资料。收到的有效回复为458份。云计算采用者和非采用者的样本量分别为239和219。采用探索性因子分析(EFA)和结构方程模型(SEM)进行数据分析。结果表明,对于采用云计算的公司来说,感知有用性、感知易用性、普遍性、感知收益和感知风险对使用云计算的行为意向具有显著和直接的影响。对于非采用者而言,感知有用性、感知无处不在性、感知收益、感知成本和感知风险对使用云计算的行为意向具有显著和直接的影响。比较测试也通过检查在路径系数的强度的差异采用者和非采用者之间的公司进行。结果:在采用企业中,感知无处不在和感知利益的有利因素的影响相对于负面因素的影响更为显著。同样,在非采用企业中,感知风险和感知成本的负面因素的影响相对更显著。结论:本研究的主要贡献在于它有助于理解行为信念和认知因素对采用和非采用云计算的企业使用云计算的行为意图的影响的渐进变化。本研究也提供了管理者对云计算采用过程中各个阶段的实际理解。
