Abstract

Following the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) recommendations, sustainable technologies are increasingly being introduced as a step toward more sustainable behaviors and efforts against environmental problems. However, a holistic investigation of the main factors influencing its adoption and use is necessary. To this end, this work aims to explain the determinants of sustainable technologies used by consumers. Specifically, we develop a contextualized model that extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) by leveraging a mixed-methods approach and, therefore, conducting three studies. The so-developed contextualized model of consumer adoption of sustainable technology is tested using 2003 observations from five European countries. Such a sample also provides the opportunity for a cross-country comparison. We found that habit, environmental knowledge, information provision, and innovativeness were significant predictors of sustainable technology use. Additionally, the cross-country comparison revealed that although conclusions are generally consistent across the countries, they differ in some effects, like social influence and price value. Taken together, we thus provide insights into the consumers' motivations to adopt and use sustainable technologies.

将接受和使用技术的统一理论扩展到可持续技术领域
根据联合国可持续发展目标(SDG)的建议,可持续技术正被越来越多地引入,作为实现更可持续的行为和应对环境问题的努力的一个步骤。然而,有必要对影响其采用和使用的主要因素进行全面调查。为此,本研究旨在解释消费者使用可持续技术的决定因素。具体来说,我们通过采用混合方法,开发了一个情境化模型,该模型扩展了技术接受和使用统一理论 2(UTAUT2),并因此开展了三项研究。我们利用 2003 年对五个欧洲国家的观察结果,对所建立的消费者采用可持续技术的情境化模型进行了检验。这样的样本也为跨国比较提供了机会。我们发现,习惯、环境知识、信息提供和创新性是预测可持续技术使用的重要因素。此外,跨国比较还显示,尽管各国的结论基本一致,但在某些影响方面,如社会影响和价格价值,各国的结论却有所不同。综上所述,我们可以深入了解消费者采用和使用可持续技术的动机。
