Assessing the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators on smart green IT device use: Reference group perspectives

作者:

Highlights:

• We investigate the determinants of behavior intention to use green IT device.

• We tried to understand motivation theory in explaining the causal relationship between motivation aspects and perceived usefulness.

• We emphasized on how the reference group moderates the motivations and perceived usefulness relationship.

• Intrinsic motivation (perceived enjoyment) is significantly related to the perceived usefulness.

• Extrinsic motivation (saving money, legislative pressure) is strongly related to the perceived usefulness.
