Smart robot vacuum cleaners, which have emerged due to advances in artificial intelligence and robot technologies and are widely used in homes, attract users' attention. However, the literature has limited quantitative research examining consumer attitudes towards these technologies. This study aims to determine whether consumers accept smart robot vacuum cleaners and which aspects of this technology are of interest to consumers through quantitative methods. The research data were collected through an online survey method and convenience sampling, and the Smart PLS package program and structural equation modelling were used in the analysis. The study results show that perceived enjoyment, usefulness, and cleanliness significantly and positively affect attitudes towards use, and attitudes towards use significantly and positively affect future intention to use. However, perceived ease of use did not significantly affect attitude towards use. In addition, multiple group analyses revealed significant differences in the effects of perceived fun, utility and cleanliness on attitude towards use according to gender and marital status variables. The research results show that businesses that launch smart robot vacuum cleaners should pay more attention to the dimensions of entertainment, utility and cleanliness perceived by consumers and that gender and marital status differences lead to changes in consumer perceptions.

In this study, a technology acceptance model that describes the ICT acceptance levels of personnel working in public order was proposed. For this purpose, the data of the study, which included 371 participants, were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA and structural equality modeling. According to the results, an eight-factor technology acceptance structure was revealed. There were found significant relationships between the factors of the model, whose validity and reliability criteria are proved. Structural equation modeling analysis was conducted to determine the relationships between factors. Endogenous variables of the model (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and behavioral intention) have significant relationships both among themselves and with the exogenous independent variables (technology self-efficacy, perceived pleasure, subjective norm and anxiety). Also, significant relationships were found between some demographic characteristics, personal information and model factors. It is considered that this study will contribute to future studies on the acceptance and adoption of technology in public order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent technological advancements entail immense changes and lead to a new era. One of the main change agents of this new era is internet of things technologies. The term “internet of things” (IoT) indicates objects having an identity and having ubiquitous connection with each other. Notwithstanding the novelty of the concept, it captured the interest of many scholars and practitioners. The subject area has not been analyzed profoundly from the consumers’ point of view. Whenever potential users face a new technology, they experience an acceptation process. In this study, how this new concept is perceived by the consumers is scrutinized. Consumer perspective of IoT is studied through Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). TAM introduced perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, as significant determinants for a potential user to have behavioral intention to use a new technology. Data were analyzed through Structural Equational Modeling (SEM).

The purpose of this study demonstrate the effect of involvement on the intention, which is the pioneer of buying behavior, by acting on the attitude-intention-behavior model based on Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). This study is based on the Social Judgment Theory. Involvement was addressed in five dimensions, interest, symbolic value, hedonic value, perceived risk and probability of error. In this study, the effects of individual dimensions of the scale of involvement on behavioral intention are measured. The research model constructed using AMOS and SPSS package programs was analyzed. The main finding of this study is that the level of interest of young consumers influences behavioral intentions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study is to examine the factors affecting the use of learning management system by university students. In this context, 211 students who have taken English I and / or English II courses, which are compulsory courses in the first year curricula of associate and undergraduate programs of a public university and offered through the learning management system, participated in the study. The research data were analyzed with the structural equation model. As a result of the path analysis, it has been determined that "course content quality" and "user interface design" dimensions have statistically significant effects on "perceived ease of use", "perceived usefulness" and "perceived enjoyment" dimensions. When the extended technology acceptance model proposed in the study was evaluated within its own dimensions, it was determined that the "perceived enjoyment" dimension was a significant predictor of the "intent to use" dimension.
