A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Area of Science:

Behavioral Economics
Information Systems
Technology Adoption

Background:

Mobile banking applications (MBAs) are crucial in Pakistan's evolving financial landscape.
Existing Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) needs extension to capture socio-cultural factors in developing economies.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine factors influencing MBA adoption in Pakistan using an extended TAM.
To investigate the mediating roles of perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU).
To explore the moderating effect of Personal Innovativeness (PI).

Main Methods:

Online survey of 268 Pakistani banking customers with MBA experience.
Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework.
Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (Smart PLS 4).

Main Results:

Consumer Susceptibility to Interpersonal Influence (CSII) significantly impacts PU and PEU.
PU and PEU are key predictors of Behavioral Intention to Use (BIU) MBAs.
PI moderates the CSII-PEU relationship, enhancing MBA ease of use perception.

Conclusions:

Social influence and perceived attributes are vital for MBA adoption in Pakistan.
Personal innovativeness plays a role in how social influence affects ease of use perceptions.
Findings offer valuable insights for banks to tailor strategies for increasing mobile banking penetration.
