Exploratory factor analysis (EFA)


After running the EFA, 6 factors were retained by the proportion criterion. We repeated this sequence six times before there were not items correlated with more than
one factor. Consequently, the following variables, were eliminated: UI1, UI2, UI3, Eco1, ECO3, Conv2 and Conv3. To be able to eliminate these variables, we had
completed the following steps:

- Drop variables if Kaisers measure of sampling adequacy were <0.5


- Drop variables if factor loading in the rotated factor pattern table were <0.5
- Drop variables if cross loading were >0.4

Because of all of that was mentioned above and for further analysis, our data was composed by 15 variables and 184 observations.

The Kaisers measure of sampling adequacy shows that all variables are > 0.5 so the sampling is adequate.

In the factor patter table, the cross loading is < 0.4 and there are not items correlated with more than one factor. The factor loading is > 0.5.

Even though 4 factors are retained by the proportion criterion, we will drop factor 4 because itis not accounted by more than one unique variable (EGO rule).

measure of the construct from the item scores. Therefore, we took the average score across the items (Usage1, Usage2 and
USE (UI)

Regression analysis to test the hypotheses


Testing the Hypotheses

As age and gender might influence the shopping activities and use of the technology, we put age and gender as Independent Variables (IVs).

As the intention to use smartphone for m-payment is unidimensional and reliable, we can compute the aggregation measure of the construct from the item scores.
Therefore, we took the average score across the items (Usage1, 2 ,3) to compute variables of intention to use smartphones for m-payment.

Moreover, according to factor analysis:

Ei: Experience with mobile shopping (Sexp1, Sexp2, Sexp3, Sexp4 and Sexp5);
Ri: Perceived (Risk RiskPriv1, RiskPriv2, RiskPriv3, RiskFin1 and RiskFin2); and
Bi: Perceived Benefits (Conv1, Eco2, Pleasure1, Pleasure2 and Pleasure3).

As these factors are unidimensional and reliable, we can compute the aggregation measure of the construct from the item scores. Therefore, we took the average
score across the items of each factors to compute variables of experience with mobile shopping, perceived risk and perceived benefits

Therefore, the formula would be:

() = 1 + 2 + 3 1 + 4 2 + 5 + 6 + 7

Consequently, we had to run a correlation analysis to investigate potential multicollinearity issues. This process has shown us the following correlations between IVs:

Perceived Benefits <.0001 0.7554 0.6377 0.6377 <.0001 0.3076

We can see that Ei and Bi are highly correlated to most of IVs where as other IVs are less correlated each other. As it is better to have small correlation between IVs
(<0.4), we can assume that variables experience and perceived benefits might not be good IVs while other IVs should be good variables to explain variable intention
to use.

From the Regression Model, we got this formula (G2 is deleted as it is opposite of G1)

() = . 35 + 0.02 + 0.12 1 + 0.04 0.28 + 0.94

Therefore, following variables are positively/negatively correlated to intention to use:

Age: positive Gender: positive to men Experience: positive Risk: negative Benefits: positive

Moreover, from p-value, we can see only risk and benefit variables are significantly coefficient.

From this result, we can assume that H1-3 are correct but as for the H3, the correlation between experience and intention to use are not significant.

From the standardized estimate, we can see that the benefit variables are the most important.

According to r-square score, we can see the almost 68 % of the intention of use are explained by selected variables.

Recommendations to the retailer


As the intention to use smartphone for m-payment is highly correlated to the factors of risk and perceived benefits, we would recommend to the retailer to emphasize
on the economic benefits, convenience and pleasure that can attain the customer. By accomplishing this task, the clients should be feel motivated enough to use the
system, making shopper concentrates in these factors instead of worrying about risks they might have when they install m-payment.

Therefore, the retailer should have sales representatives well educated and capable of explaining the system accurately and with an strong accent in the fully
comprehension of the perceived benefits and the safety of using the m-payment system. In addition to this, retailers may consider to provide a meeting section or
organize different events to provide further detailed information about the benefits and safety of the m-system to maximize the beneficial image and minimize the
risky image of m-payment.
