摘要: Possible explanations for the acceptance or rejection of technological innovations have become a crucial topic in research. Depending on type technology, variety factors affect motives. This paper looks into influence technical-self efficacy (TSE) technology infrastructure. An empirical study (n=137 participants) was conducted to effects TSE approval, discomfort, and resistance towards infrastructure, using electricity pylons, mobile phone masts, wind power plants as examples. Overall, it corroborated that is key variable explaining users’ The individual technical self-confidence contributed explanation approval whereas largely based place residence. Acceptance differences between technologies were different influential user factors. Our research provides valuable insights stakeholders contributes energy infrastructures by providing cross-sectional view.
