Abstract

The paper investigates the impact of Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) variables and external dimensions on behavior intention to adopt online insurance. UTAUT, a technology acceptance model, is a synthesis of eight models of information system derived from social psychological theories. The UTAUT framework was used in the study, along with external variables, including self-efficacy and perceived credibility. Purposive sampling was used to acquire data from respondents using a structured questionnaire. To analyze the collected data, structural equation modeling was applied. According to the findings, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, self-efficacy, and perceived credibility, all had a substantial influence on behavioral intention to adopt online insurance. The model accounted for 68% of the variation.
