Modelling Consumer’s Intention to Use IoT devices

Abstract

Despite the potential benefits of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, Bangladesh is still behind in terms of using full potential of IoT systems compare to others technological devices like laptop or smartphone. Therefore, this study aims to explore the factors that influence users’ intention to use IoT systems. Our proposed model is tested in a field survey among 352 respondents. The results indicated significant relationships between generic view of technology and IoT skills with Technophilia. Further, our result also showed significant positive impact of Technophilia on Intention to use IoT devices. That is if people have fascination for new technologies then they are willing to use IoT. The findings of this study suggest theoretical and practical implications for not only academics but also practitioners like IoT system manufactures and stakeholders from the telecommunication sector and engineering sectors.
