Information system sustainable technologies: Understanding the antecedents of sustainable technologies use
| Resumo: | This study looks at the major elements that influence citizens' adoption of sustainable technology, with a focus on empowerment, achievement motivation, and pro-environmental behavior (PEB). Survey data from a diverse citizen population was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to determine how environmental, behavioral, and motivational factors influence technological engagement and adoption. The study found that accomplishment motivation (for deep usage) and empowerment (for cognitive absorption and deep use) are key drivers. Moreover, combining PEB and empowerment enhances deep engagement. Furthermore, the study demonstrates robust measurement properties and explains a major portion of the variation in technology use. These findings add to our understanding of how people accept sustainable technologies and provide helpful information for developing techniques that foster motivation and empowerment to increase the adoption of sustainable innovations. |
