ABSTRACT
Research background and purpose:
The research aims to determine the factors affecting the adoption and use of mobile technologies by top managers. The research sample consists of top managers in SMEs.
Design/methodology/approach:
Data were obtained from SME managers in Turkey. Within the scope of the research, 204 survey data were collected from top managers in SMEs. SmartPLS 3 were used to analyze the data.
Findings:
It has been determined that factors such as usefulness, social impact, and self-efficacy positively affect the intention to use mobile technologies. In addition, behavioral intention had a significant and strong effect on actual usage. It has been determined that the intention to use mobile technolo-gies has a mediating role in the effect of factors on actual usage for mobile usage, social impact and technology self-efficacy. According to the findings, hedonic and mobile ease of use did not affect the behavioral intention of actual use, either directly or indirectly.
Value added and limitations:
The originality of this research lies in its integrated approach, combining the perspectives of top managers of Turkish SMEs with the UTAUT theoretical framework to explain their behavioral in-tentions toward adopting mobile technologies for business purposes. Therefore, the findings uniquely represent the adoption intentions of SME executives in Turkey.
