Explaining Performance Expectancy of IoT in Chilean SMEs

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to validate a research model that explains performance expectancy of IoT from psychological and cognitive variables: personal innovativeness of information technology (PIIT) and social influence respectively. Data were collected from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Chile. A confirmatory approach using PLSc was employed to validate the hypotheses. The conclusions of the study are (a) Chilean SMEs companies do not use IoT massively, (b) goodness of tit indicators allowed to validate the proposed research model successfully, (c) both constructs, social influence and personal innovativeness of information technology, explain 61% of performance expectancy of IoT.
