The purpose of this study is to examine a structural relationship among mobile self-efficacy, subjective norm, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and behavioral intention of mobile web service using technology acceptance model (TAM). 144 cyber university students enrolled in a course with mobile web service participated for this study. The result revealed that 1) mobile self-efficacy (${\beta}$ = .43, p<.05), subjective norm (${\beta}$ = .30, p<.05), perceived ease of use (${\beta}$ = .25, p<.05) had a direct effect on perceived usefulness. Second, mobile self-efficacy (${\beta}$ = .36, p<.05), subjective norm (${\beta}$ = .44, p<.05) had a direct effect on perceived ease of use. Third, perceived usefulness (${\beta}$ = .94, p<.05) had a direct effect on behavioral intention of mobile web service. However, perceived ease of use did not have a direct effect on behavioral intention of mobile web service significantly. Results of this study emphasize the role of an extended TAM including mobile self-efficacy and subjective norm in a mobile web service course at a cyber university.

This study provides a prospect for the fast growing the smartwatch market by investigating the relationship between the satisfaction and the continuous use intention of Apple watch users, as well as the factors influencing their satisfaction. Based on the TAM, this study uses system quality, information quality, and self-efficacy as independent variables, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and satisfaction as mediators, and continuous use intention as the dependent variable. We analyze the data of 256 individuals who completed an online survey with SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 software. This study conducts several tests and analyses to empirically evaluate the data including reliability analysis, factor analysis, feasibility analysis, path analysis, hypothesis verification, and mediation analysis. Our results investigate which factors may influence consumers' intention to continuously using Apple Watch devices in the future. In summary, satisfaction has a positive effect on the intention to continuously use smartwatchs. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a positive effect on satisfaction. Among the three factors (system quality, information quality, and self-efficacy), only self-efficacy has no significant impact on perceived usefulness but had a positive effect on perceived ease of use. In addition, system quality and information quality positively affect perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, satisfaction, and continuous intention to use an Apple Watch. Taking the Apple Watch as the subject of our research topic, this study provides theoretical value by exploring the impact of user's satisfaction with their smartwatch on their continuous usage intention. This study further explains the influence of system quality, information quality, and self-efficacy on user satisfaction. Additionally, this research offers valuable insight to practitioners by confirming that information quality, system quality, and self-efficacy are important features for enhancing satisfactory user experiences which in turn may increase users' intention to continued using smartwatches.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of preventive behavior intention to the particulate matter. The results based on the survey of 280 university students showed that the perceived susceptibility and barriers to the particulate matter do not have statistically significant effects on the preventive behavior intention. However, perceived severity and benefits, subjective norm, and self-efficacy to the particulate matter had statistically significant positive effects on the preventive behavior intention. The results of this study suggested that communication strategies to increase perceived severity and benefits, subjective norm and self-efficacy should be required to improve the degree of preventive behavior intention to the particulate matter of college students. It is expected to contribute explaining preventive actions against environmental hazards such as air pollution in the future.
