Abstract

The factors affecting rejection or acceptance of an emerging IT artifact such as mobile banking have piqued interest among IS researchers and remain unknown due in part to consumers' trust and risk perceptions in the wireless platform. This study extends this line of research by conjointly examining multi-dimensional trust and multi-faceted risk perceptions in the initial adoption stage of the wireless Internet platform. Results of this study indicate that risk perception, derived from eight different facets, is a salient antecedent to innovative technology acceptance. Beyond prior studies, the results also provide empirical support for employing personal trait factors in analyzing acceptance of emerging IT artifacts.
