Adoption of shopper-facing technologies under social distancing: A conceptualisation and an interplay between task-technology fit and technology trust

作者:

Highlights:

• This study explores the structure of shopper-facing technologies.

• Three dimensions are labelled as (pre-)shopping technologies, post-shopping technologies and technology-dominant automations.

• We further examine the impacts of task-technology fit and trust on shoppers' adoption of the multi-dimensional technologies.

• Technology trust moderates the impacts of task-technology fit.

• The moderated effects show differentiated explanatory powers toward shoppers' adoption of the multi-dimensional technologies.
