Factors affecting the intention to adopt light-emitting diode lighting at home

Abstract

This study investigates the significant factors affecting the adoption of light emitting diode lighting among households in Malaysia by conceptualizing and extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology through the adaptation of price value and the anticipated emotions of pride and guilt within the model. This study used the partial least squares technique to validate measurements and to test the research hypotheses. The results obtained from analysing 1075 valid survey questionnaires revealed the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy and price value on the intention to use light-emitting diodes among Malaysian households. While the results support the mediating role of attitude between the three variables and intention to use light-emitting diodes, the moderating role of anticipated pride on the relationship between attitude and intention to use light-emitting diodes was not supported. The findings confirm that guilt significantly moderates the relationship between attitude and intention.
