Resumo: | The advancement of the wearable devices industry has long emphasized the significance of consumer acceptance of the products. Despite there are lots of theories in this field, few particular theoretical models and researches are conducted in China's market. This research investigates factors influencing consumers' intention to adopt wearable devices in China's market by measuring the relationships between thoughtfully selected variables and consumers' intention. We conduct Mixed Methods Researchs to pre-test the validation of hypotheses and measure correlations between factors. The Proposed model consists of elements applied from Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Diffusion of Innovations (DOI), Functional Expressive Aesthetic Theory (FEA), Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), along with perceived risks and privacy calculus field. The findings indicate that perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) are significant antecedent factors; prior factors namely perceived compatibility and perceived comfort also show positive impacts. This research provides several practical and theoretical implications for stakeholders and manufacturers to potentially increase consumers' intention to adopt wearable devices. |

Apesar de imensas teorias neste campo, são poucos os modelos teóricos particulares e estudos conduzidos no mercado chinês. Este estudo investiga fatores que influenciam a intenção dos consumidores de adotar dispositivos vestíveis no mercado chinês, medindo as relações entre variáveis cuidadosamente selecionadas e a intenção de compra dos consumidores. Conduzimos metodologias mistas para pré-testar a validação de hipóteses e medir as correlações entre fatores. O modelo consiste em elementos aplicados a partir do Modelo de Aceitação de Tecnologia (TAM), Difusão de Inovações (DOI), Teoria Estética Expressiva Funcional (FEA), Teoria Unificada de Aceitação e Utilização de Tecnologia (UTAUT), juntamente com os riscos percebidos e a preocupação com a privacidade. Os resultados indicam que a Perceção da Facilidade de Utilização (PEOU) e a Perceção da Utilidade (PU) são fatores antecedentes significativos; fatores anteriores, nomeadamente a perceção da compatibilidade e do conforto também mostram impactos positivos. Este estudo fornece várias implicações práticas e teóricas para stakeholders e fabricantes de produtos orientadas para o aumento potencial da intenção dos consumidores em adotar dispositivos vestíveis.Fernandes, Daniel Von Der HeydeVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaAn, Bozhen2021-09-27T08:40:49Z2021-02-0220212021-02-02T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/35224TID:202657159enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:40:43Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/35224Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:34.031825Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
