Understanding consumer adoption of mobile payment in India: Extending Meta-UTAUT model with personal innovativeness, anxiety, trust, and grievance redressalPatil, P., Tamilmani, Kuttimani, Rana, Nripendra P., Raghavan, V. 15 May 2020 (has links)
Yes / Mobile payments are the future as we move towards a cashless society. In some markets, cash is already being replaced by digital transactions, but consumers of many developing countries are slower in transition towards digital payments. This study aims to identify major determinants of consumer mobile payment adoption in India the country with second largest mobile subscribers in the world. Existing mobile payments adoption studies have predominantly utilised Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which was primarily developed in organisational context and criticised for having deterministic approach without much consideration for users’ individual characteristics. Therefore, this study adapted meta-UTAUT model with individual difference variable attitude as core construct and extended the model with consumer related constructs such as personal innovativeness, anxiety, trust, and grievance redressal. Empirical examination of the model among 491 Indian consumers revealed performance expectancy, intention to use, and grievance redressal as significant positive predictor of consumer use behaviour towards mobile payment. Moreover, intention to use was significantly influenced by attitude, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The major contribution of this study includes re-affirming the central role of attitude in consumer adoption studies and examining usage behaviour in contrast to most existing studies, which examine only behavioural intention.

Information behaviour in health-care of home-based elderly people in Nakuru District, KenyaKhayesi, Marie K. (Marie Khanyanji) 07 1900 (has links)
This study investigated access and use of information in the health-care of home-based elderly people
(EPs) in Nakuru District, Kenya. The literature review revealed a gap with respect to information
behaviour in health-care of EPs in a development context. The researcher used qualitative methods;
with exploratory and descriptive research design because the focus of the study was on the littleknown
and socially disadvantaged community of EPs in Nakuru District. Respondents were sampled
by using the snowball technique. At the end of an interview session, each respondent was encouraged
to nominate someone who either shared the same or had different experiences, views, socio-economic
levels and gender. The researcher collected data through face-to-face interviews with EPs, informal
care providers (ICPs) and formal health-care providers (FHCPs), in order to gain insight of
information behaviour in health-care of EPs, by focusing on aspects of information needs; sources;
use of information and factors that influence the respective groups of respondents to access and use
health-care information health-care of EPs. The findings showed that the respective groups of
respondents had similar as well as diversified needs for information for health-care. The groups used
both formal and informal sources of information and channels of communication to access
information for health-care, with FHCPs using authoritative sources more than the EPs and ICPs.
Factors such as being a professional or a lay person, cost, ease of accessibility, availability of sources
and channels of communication, time and trustworthiness of a source or channel of communication
determined preference for use of information. The major contribution of the study is to the theory
about information behaviour: some EPs and ICPs used CAM services without informing FHCPs,
thereby revealing a form of concealed information use behaviour (CIUB). / Information Science / D. Litt. et Phil. (Information Science)

A comparative evaluation of water supply perceptions and overall stewardship in Hammaskraal amd AttridgevilleMthimunye, Keitumetse 12 1900 (has links)
This research focused on evaluating and comparing the perceptions, water-use
behaviour, water conservation awareness and overall water stewardship of participants
residing in Hammanskraal and Atteridgeville who have experienced intermittent water
supply in their domestic households – due to either water contamination incidents caused
by dilapidated infrastructure or water restrictions implemented by the City of Tshwane
Metropolitan Municipality during the 2016–2017 drought in the Gauteng Province. The
research concluded that the municipality needs to implement proactive water
conservation awareness initiatives on an ongoing basis to reduce high water demands
and to create a culture of water stewardship, especially in Atteridgeville. Transparent
communication is also required from the municipality to instil the necessary trust among
the public. It is recommended that the municipality attends to water leaks and ongoing
complaints from the public timeously to reduce the current apathy from the public against
reporting water-related issues and to ultimately ensure compliance to water restrictions. / Hierdie navorsing fokus op die evaluering en vergelyking van deelnemers wat in

gekom dat die munisipaliteit proaktiewe waterbewaringsbewustheidsinisiatiewe op ’n
deurlopende grondslag moet implementeer om hoë wateraanvraag te verminder en ’n
kultuur van waterrentmeesterskap, veral in Atteridgeville,
te skep. Deursigtige
kommunikasie word ook van die munisipaliteit vereis om die nodige vertroue by die
publiek te kweek. Daar word aanbeveel dat die munisipaliteit betyds aandag aan
waterlekkasies en deurlopende klagtes van die publiek sal gee om die huidige
onverskilligheid van die publiek by die aanmeld van waterverwante aangeleenthede te
verminder en om uiteindelik te verseker dat die publiek die waterbeperkings eerbiedig. / Patlisiso ena e ne e tsepame hodima ho lekola le ho bapisa maikutlo, boitshwaro ba
