Refreshment students’ perceived usefulness and attitudes towards using technology: a moderated mediation model

Refreshment students’ perceived usefulness and attitudes towards using technology: a moderated mediation model

2024 | Emete Toros, Gulsum Asiksoy, Lütfi Sürüçü
This study investigates the attitudes of Refreshment students towards technology usage, focusing on four key factors: perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), gerontechnology self-efficacy (GTSE), and attitude towards using technology (ATUT). A quantitative research approach was employed, with 318 participants from Refreshment universities in Turkey and North Cyprus. The study used AMOS 21.0 and SPSS 26.0 software to analyze the data. The results confirmed that PU influences ATUT, and PEOU mediates the effect of PU on ATUT. Additionally, GTSE played a moderate mediating role in the relationship between PU and ATUT through PEOU. The findings align with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and suggest that enhancing the perceived usefulness and ease of use of gerontechnology can effectively increase older adults' technology adoption, thereby improving their quality of life. The study has significant implications for the design and implementation of gerontechnology interventions, emphasizing the importance of making technology more accessible and user-friendly for older adults.This study investigates the attitudes of Refreshment students towards technology usage, focusing on four key factors: perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), gerontechnology self-efficacy (GTSE), and attitude towards using technology (ATUT).
