Using Herzberg's motive hygiene theory, this study also investigated the influence of motivation factors and hygiene factors on acceptance and resistance of mobile facial recognition payment services, and the influence of consumer innovation as a parameter on acceptance and resistance from motivation factors and hygiene factors. A survey was conducted on Chinese users who had experience using mobile payment services. IBM SPSS Statistics 26 and SmartPLS 3.0 were used for statistical analysis. As a result of the analysis, the motivating factors of mobile facial recognition payment services have a positive (+) impact on acceptance, and there were no significant results on resistance. In addition, hygiene factors have been shown to have negative (-) effects on acceptance and positive (+) effects on resistance. Consumer innovation, which is a parameter in relation to motivation factors and acceptance and resistance, had a partial mediation effect, and a partial mediation effect was also seen in the relationship between hygiene factors and resistance, but no mediation effect was found in the relationship between hygiene factors and acceptance. The motivating factors found through research results such as rapidity, ubiquity, perceived usability, perceived ease of use, privacy concerns, security, status quo inertia, use barriers, and loss avoidance, which are factors of non-contact and hygiene, can be used as basic data for activating mobile facial recognition payment services.
