The present study applies the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) to investigate the factors that affect the intention to use the mobile payment services. For this purpose five potential variables (perceived usefulness, perceived convenience, ubiquity, innovativeness, and safety risk) that are expected to affect the intention to use the mobile payment services were selected. An online survey was administered, and 339 questionnaires were analyzed. Structure Equation Model (SEM) Analysis revealed that TAM variables (perceived usefulness and perceived convenience) partially influenced the attitude. The perceived usefulness predicted the attitude while perceived convenience did not predict the attitude toward the mobile payment service. Personal characteristics variable (innovativeness) and mobile nature variables (ubiquity, and security risk) were identified as the predictors of the attitude toward the mobile payment service. While innovativeness and ubiquity affected the attitude positively, security risk affected the attitude negatively. Finally, the analysis substantiated the influence of attitude toward the mobile payment services on the intention to use the services. On the basis of findings, managerial implications and suggestions for further studies were discussed.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors affecting Thai commercial bank users' behavioral intention towards QR code payment system via mobile banking applications. The researchers conducted the study based on quantitative research approach. Non-probability sampling method such as the quota and convenience sampling was applied as sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed. The data was collected from 1,800 respondents living in Bangkok, who have had an experience with QR code payment system with the top-three mobile banking applications in Thailand. This study concentrates on confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling as a statistical tool to examine the data, model accuracy, and influence of critical variables. In addition, the researchers applied the first-order and second-order techniques to examine the relationship between constructs. Adoption readiness and perceived risk were second-order constructs. The results reveled that compatibility has an impact on attitude towards QR code payment. Moreover, adoption readiness, compatibility, attitude, and personal innovativeness are statistically significant that impact behavioral intention towards QR code payment. The strongest antecedents of behavioral intention were compatibility, attitude, adoption readiness, and personal innovativeness, respectively. Surprisingly, perceived risk and perceived trust do not statistically have a significant impact on behavioral intention towards QR code payment.

Contracting is said to be a high-risk business, and a common cause of business failure is related to cash management. A contractor's financial viability depends heavily on how actual payments from an owner deviate from those defined in the contract. The paper presents a method for contractors to evaluate the punctuality and fullness of owner payments based on historical behaviour. It does this by classifying owners according to their late and incomplete payment practices. A payment profile of an owner, in the form of aging claims submitted by the contractor, is used as a basis for the method's development. Regression trees are constructed based on three predictor variables, namely, the average time to payment following a claim, the total amount ending up being paid within a certain period and the level of variability in claim response times. The Tree package in the publicly available R program is used for building the trees. The analysis is particularly useful for contractors at the pre-tendering stage, when contractors predict the likely payment scenario in an upcoming project. Based on the method, the contractor can decide whether to tender or not tender, or adjust its financial preparations accordingly. The paper is a contribution in risk management applied to claim and dispute resolution practice. It is argued that by contractors having a better understanding of owner payment behaviour, fewer disputes and contractor business failures will occur.

L/C allows the exporter to have a bank's payment undertaking against shipping documents required by L/C. This means that the exporter can take export proceeds from a L/C issuing bank regardless of importer's payments and therefore the L/C better mitigate importer's credit risk compared to remittance and collections. Recently the use of L/C has been on down trend in line with increasing use of T/T, causing a big change of payment system. This tells that the payment method change in Korea is positive as the change also happens same in developed countries. This however gives more buyer's credit risk to exporters and therefore a systematic solution to this negative effect is required. In Korea, export credit insurance has been widely used to cover the buyer's credit risk. But the export credit insurance is limited because of lack of government's financial support and strict evaluation of buyer and exporter. Now Korea is ranked 10the largest trading country and therefore the exporters shall find another source for credit risk protection elsewhere. And as such this paper suggest International Factoring as a tool for the credit risk protection. The International Factoring gives advantages to the exporter in terms of credit protection and advances by purchasing account receivables on a without recourse basis.

This study investigates to investigate the factors that influence user resistance of mobile payment services. We suggested individual and technical characteristics of mobile payment services as factors influencing perceived risk and user resistance. In addition, we suggested negative security recognition as moderating variable. To test the proposed hypotheses, we collected 349 survey responses from the users of mobile payment services and conducted structural equation modeling with SmartPLS2.0. The results show that, first, negative social influence, risk aversion and distrust in existing services had an effect on the perceived risk. Second, the pace of change and vulnerability had an effect on the perceived risk. Third, perceived risk affected the user resistance while negative security recognition is related to the relationship between perceived risk and user resistance.

Electronic payment is a very crucial function in electronic commerce. As electronic commercial transactions develop on a mobile basis, a variety of electronic payment services that can be conveniently used are appearing. In particular, mobile easy payment services improve the user's convenience of payment and give a positive effect on activating online transactions. In this study we investigate empirically the factors influencing the user resistance to mobile easy payment services. Especially, we compares the main acceptance factors of the mobile easy payment services with the main acceptance resistance factors of the services. By doing that, we derive the implications that could contribute to the vitalizations of the mobile easy payment service market. The research model includes "perceived risk" as a main acceptance resistance factor, and "easy of use" and "usefulness" as the main acceptance factors. The relationship among these three factors, "use conflict", and "user resistance" is expressed in the model. We analyze the model by Structural Equation Model. The results proves that all the research hypotheses are adopted except for the impact of "ease of use" on "use conflict", and that users of mobile easy payment services think of "usefulness" more important than "risk".

The mobile payment app market has been expanding recently. However, the usage rate of mobile payment apps is not meeting service providers' expectations due to concerns about security and privacy. This study investigated how personal predisposition and how the security signals of the payment app affect users' perceived privacy and security risks, and how these factors ultimately affect the trust of mobile payment apps. The results showed that privacy concerns increase the risk of perceived personal information leaks and reduce perceived mobile system security, while familiarity, perceived reputation, and assurance seal reduce the risk of perceived personal information leaks and increase perceived mobile system security. Finally, it revealed that the reduced risk of perceived personal information leaks and the increased security of mobile systems had a positive impact on the reliability of mobile payment apps.

This research focuses on the effect of consumer's innovativeness and the trust in other domain affecting the intention to use mobile payment services. The result of this paper reveals that consumer's innovativeness has both a direct impact on the intention to use mobile payment services and a indirect impact. Relative advantage and image play a mediating role between consumer's innovativeness and the intention to use mobile payment services. Moreover, the study reveals that the trust in other domain not only directly affects on the intention to use mobile payment services but also indirectly affects by mediating relative advantage, image, and perceived risk. This study indicated that a customer's established trust in other domain influences his or her trust in mobile payment services. Electronic payment service providers should consider that the trust-building process encompasses other domain as well as mobile relationships. And electronic payment firms should do their best to reduce customers' perceptions of risk.
