Abstract

The tourism and hospitality industries emphasize on indoor leisure-sport activities for tourists because these activities are less impacted by weather and provide enjoyment and relaxation to travelers, thereby enhancing their satisfaction. This study used the self-promotion perspective to establish a theoretical model to illustrate how the perceived usefulness of a product (in these cases, leisure-sports appliances) mediates the relationship between a tourist’s self-image and intention to use. Focusing on the users of treadmill, massage chair, Nintendo Wii, and hydrotherapy machine, a sample of 384 effective respondents was collected and analyzed with structural equation modelling by using AMOS 21.0. The study revealed several essential findings. First, product features like multifunctionality and reactivity significantly associate with a user’s self-image and perceived usefulness of a leisure-sports appliance. Product complexity positively relates to self-image but negatively relates to perceived usefulness, whereas automation positively relates to perceived usefulness but negatively relates to perceived self-image. Moreover, individual subjective norms significantly influence perceived usefulness and intention to use. Entertainment is not significant to an individual’s perceived usefulness but is significantly associated with a tourist’s intention to use. This study affirms the mediating role of perceived usefulness that connects self-image and intention to use.

休闲体育用品的智能度如何影响游客的使用意愿

旅游业和酒店业强调为游客提供室内休闲体育活动，因为这些活动受天气的影响较小，可以为游客提供享受和放松，从而提高他们的满意度。本研究运用自我提升的视角，建立了一个理论模型来说明产品(在本研究中为休闲运动用品)的感知有用性如何中介游客自我形象与使用意愿之间的关系。以跑步机、按摩椅、任天堂Wii和水疗机用户为研究对象，收集有效问卷384人，利用AMOS 21.0软件进行结构方程建模分析。这项研究揭示了几个重要的发现。首先，多功能和反应性等产品特征与用户的自我形象和休闲运动设备的感知有用性密切相关。产品复杂性与自我形象正相关，与感知有用性负相关;自动化与感知有用性正相关，与感知自我形象负相关。此外，个体主观规范显著影响感知有用性和使用意图。娱乐对个人的感知有用性并不重要，但与游客的使用意图显著相关。本研究证实了感知有用性在自我形象与使用意图之间的中介作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
