Understanding the Adoption of Wireless Sensor Network Service in Households

Prior research on the adoption of technology mainly focused on individuals and business organizations. However, along the trend of technology innovation toward potential usage of technology in households, deeper understanding of the adopting technologies in household contexts is getting important. With the call for energy efficient consumption and improved living quality in households, this study aims at understanding households´ adoption technology using wireless sensor network (WSN) service as an example. The model of Adoption of Technology in Households (MATH) based on the Theory of Planned Behavior was tailored to generate hypotheses for testing the model of households´ adoption of WSN service. The hypothesis testing from the survey data support the constructs in determining behavior intention to use WSN services. This research results will benefit the service design for households to engage WSN service.
