Factors Influencing Consumer Intentions to Adopt E-Payment Systems

This study aimed to identify the main factors influencing the adoption of electronic payment system (EPS)by Jordanian consumers based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). A quantitative approach and a convenience sample of 487 Jordanian banking customers were employed to collect the required data via a survey questionnaire. The study findings indicated that all the proposed factors (perceived usefulness, ease of use, security, self-efficacy, and trust) have a statistically significant positive relationship with the electronic payment adoption intention with explanation power 49% (R Square=0.49). The perceived usefulness and ease of use were found the most important factors that highly associated with the adoption of e-payment, respectively. Furthermore, education level as an individual demographic variable was the only one who has a significant relationship with the intention of the adoption of e-payment service while age and gender were found insignificant.
