Technology Acceptance Factors Affecting Intention to Use Electric Motorcycles in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research article aims to study technology acceptance factors affecting intention to use electric motorcycles in Bangkok Metropolitan Region. This study employs quantitative research methodology. The sample consists of 466 respondents, comprising general motorcycle users and consumers interested in using electric motorcycles, selected through xxx sampling method. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire. The statistical analysis includes descriptive statistics, consisting of mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, comprising confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis. The research findings indicate that the research model corresponds with empirical data, with values close to the specified criteria and within acceptable thresholds. The technology acceptance factors affecting intention to use electric motorcycles in The Bangkok Metropolitan Region comprise performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation, respectively.
