Factors influencing the intention to use m-commerce in Malaysian: an extended IS success model

International Journal of Advances in Applied Science, 2024

The progress of mobile technology has undergone substantial development in recent years, leading to the emergence of new and creative ideas. This paper investigates the factors influencing consumers' intentions to use mobile commerce in Malaysia. The DeLone and McLean updated information system success model served as the basis for this study's proposed model. A convenience sampling method was employed to collect 310 surveys from smartphone owners who conduct mobile commerce activities in Malaysia. A "two-stage structural equation modeling" (SEM) technique assessed the research model and the study's assumptions. The findings revealed that "information quality", "service quality", "system quality", and "trust" significantly influence consumers' "intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia". The findings further reveal that "system quality" is the strongest factor influencing the "intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia". Therefore, the research outcomes will benefit academicians, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the mobile commerce industry in Malaysia. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first empirical study that expanded the "information system success model" by including "trust" in the context of Malaysian mobile commerce users' "intentions". However, further research is recommended to explore the factors influencing consumers' "intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia".

2017

Previous studies have explored the adoption of various information technology. However, little is known about mobile commerce adoption among university students especially in the context of Malaysia. Therefore, a study was conducted to propose a theoretical framework based on TAM2 to explain the individual adoption intention towards mobile commerce adoption. This paper presents a basic understanding of the concept of mobile commerce and its business characteristics. Data was collected from 4 public universities in Selangor, Johor, Penang and Terengganu using paper-based questionnaire. The analysis involves 550 valid data set. Based on a thorough literature analysis, a model of determinants towards mobile commerce adoption is presented. The findings from this study could contribute towards the advancement of knowledge in e-commerce area particularly in identifying determinants for mobile commerce adoption among younger generation.

Acceptance of mobile commerce in Malaysia: A descriptive study

2017

Mobile Commerce, also known as M-commerce is thought to be the next big phase in this technologically dependent society after E-commerce era. However, its adoption and level of use is still comparatively low in Malaysia compared to other nations such as Korea, Singapore, and Japan. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the current level of m-commerce acceptance and intention to use in Malaysia. A survey was conducted using convenience sampling with a total of 340 respondents in Klang Valley. Collected data was then analyzed descriptively to reveal the current level of acceptance and intention to use m-commerce. Findings revealed the level of awareness on the existence of m-commerce is high at 76.8% although the level of use is not that high. Only 5.3% of respondents use m-commerce very frequently while only 36.8% use somewhat frequently. However, awareness of m-commerce and experience using m-commerce are significantly related to intention to use while frequency of m-c...

Mobile Commerce Adoption in Malaysia: A Conceptual Framework

Open Journal of Economics and Commerce, 2024

The high acceptance of mobile commerce transactions among Malaysian consumers has become a major obstacle for mobile commerce providers. This study examines the adoption of mobile commerce in Malaysia, focusing on the influence of information quality, system quality, and service quality on customers' intention to use it. It highlights literature on the relationship between intention and mobile commerce acceptance and the moderating effect of perceived cost. The DeLone and McLean updated IS Success Model is the basis of the proposed research model. The study suggests that mobile commerce providers should create userfriendly websites, provide comprehensive information, and deliver high-quality services to boost consumer acceptance. It is also proposed that perceived cost is moderating the acceptance of mobile commerce. This research contributes to the understanding of mobile commerce adoption and provides insights for mobile commerce providers. Further research is recommended due to its conceptual nature and the need for empirical investigation.

Determinants of users’ intention to adopt m-commerce: an empirical analysis

Information Systems and e-Business Management, 2015

The fast-growing penetration of mobile devices and recent advances in mobile technologies have led to the development of increasingly sophisticated services such as m-shopping for goods or services and m-payment. However, although the number of mobile subscribers is increasing, levels of actual m-commerce activities in many cases remain low. Determining what influences users' intention to use m-commerce is therefore of growing importance. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible factors. To this aim, we developed a conceptual user adoption model based on technology acceptance model variables and on specific factors such as social influence, personal innovativeness, customization, and individual mobility. The empirical results show that social influence and customization significantly affect perceived usefulness; mobility, customization, and personal innovativeness significantly affect perceived ease of use; and perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a direct positive effect on behavioral intention.

Factors Affecting the Intention to Use Mobile Commerce in Malaysia: An Integration of TAM and IS Success Model

International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences, 2024

Mobile commerce transactions adoption among consumers in Malaysia has become a major challenge for mobile commerce providers. This paper aims to determine the factors affecting the intention to use mobile commerce by integrating the Technology Acceptance Model and the updated IS Success Model. A non-probability convenience sampling is employed, collecting 395 questionnaires from Klang Valley residents of Malaysia. A two-stage structural equation modeling is employed to test the hypotheses. The findings indicate that system quality, service quality, and perceived enjoyment significantly affect the intention to use mobile commerce. However, the findings further revealed that information quality, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness do not significantly influence the intention to use mobile commerce in Malaysia. These findings will benefit mobile commerce providers and businesses aiming to improve the acceptance of mobile commerce transactions in Malaysia. However, this study is valuable for academicians, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
