Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 企業管理學系 === 105 === Due to progression of modern medication and technology, the average life span is extending, pursuing high-quality, healthy and long life growing to an old age is more desirable than ever. Then the aged society related issues have presented serious challenges to public policy as the elderly population in Taiwan increases rapidly. Many developed countries have used "Aging in Place" as the guiding principle for devising elderly care policy. In addition, accompany with the progress of ICT(Information Communication and Technology ,ICT), the ICT integrated for aging in place has been discussing broadly ,and smart space had also become the application of ICT equipment to support the elderly. However, previous research has focused on technology oriented and product development rather than user decision process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the factors that affect the decision-making in the process of adopting smart space in the face of personal, environment and technology.
This study based on Elaboration-Likelihood Model(ELM) to compared two alternative influence processes, the central(Technology Readiness) and peripheral(Social Influence) routes, in motivating Smart Space acceptance. Further, this study examined how these influence process were moderated by users’ ICT user experience.This study collected 310 questionnaire from May 31,2017 to July 30,2017 by paper and internet, and analyze by Smart PLS 2.0 and SPSS. With the result of this study, central route supported that the positive attitude will promote the smart space adoption, but the peripheral route had no effect on smart space adoption. The moderation of ICT user experience had effect toward central and peripheral route.
This research makes a comprehensive view which is based on the personal, technology and, environment. It provides a structure as the basis for the study that explores smart space adoption from user experience and decision process. Intellectual structure, a systematic way to search literature that provides an objective and efficient way to explore the literature. In terms of practice, to improve adoption of smart space can be emphasized in the user experience and technology readiness, and in the social influence must first consider the user's understanding of product attributes. The research topic is innovative and still at the stage of development. In this study, it is limited by regional, cultural and time, but it can provide a complete and effective contribution to the academic and practical aspects. In the future, we can refer to this study’s theoretical framework, methods for more profound discussion.
