How to increase consumers’ continued use intention of artificial intelligence voice assistants? The role of anthropomorphic features
Artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistants possess significant market potential and offer diverse services through voice interaction. However, the influence of anthropomorphic features on consumers’ mind perception and continued use intention, particularly across various age groups, remains underexplored. To address this research gap, we employ mind perception theory, the stimulus–organism-response model, and cognitive load theory to conduct a research model. Using a sample of 303 survey responses, we evaluate the research model and hypotheses through partial least squares analysis. Findings reveal that these features positively affect alleviating loneliness and enhancing perceived usefulness. Additionally, the alleviation of loneliness and perceived usefulness contribute to consumers’ continued use intention and mediate the relationship between anthropomorphic features and continued use intention. Furthermore, the effect of anthropomorphic features on mind perception varies across age groups. This research enhances understanding of the influence of anthropomorphic features on consumers’ mind perception and continued use intention of AI voice assistants, providing valuable insights for product developers and marketers to enhance the consumer experience.
期刊介绍:
Electronic Markets (EM) stands as a premier academic journal providing a dynamic platform for research into various forms of networked business. Recognizing the pivotal role of information and communication technology (ICT), EM delves into how ICT transforms the interactions between organizations and customers across diverse domains such as social networks, electronic commerce, supply chain management, and customer relationship management.
Electronic markets, in essence, encompass the realms of networked business where multiple suppliers and customers engage in economic transactions within single or multiple tiers of economic value chains. This broad concept encompasses various forms, including allocation platforms with dynamic price discovery mechanisms, fostering atomistic relationships. Notable examples originate from financial markets (e.g., CBOT, XETRA) and energy markets (e.g., EEX, ICE). Join us in exploring the multifaceted landscape of electronic markets and their transformative impact on business interactions and dynamics.
