Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior was the basis for this study. A convenience sample of 105 veterans (53 African Americans, 52 Caucasians) were recruited via Alchemer. Standard multiple regression analysis showed that help-seeking propensity was a significant predictor of help-seeking intentions, with higher scores on help-seeking propensity predicting …

Relationship Between Technology Adoption And Event Sponsorship In Technology-Adopted Events, Sidner Bosibori Nyaboga
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Technology advancement and adoption can affect organizations and industries in different dimensions and spectrums. Technology acceptance is evident through innovative solutions in the events industry, such as virtual and hybrid event delivery modes. However, technology shifts could adversely affect the outcomes of event sponsorships. The problem was the lack of understanding of technology adoption effects on events sponsorships, limiting events professionals in developing effective techniques. This quantitative nonexperimental correlational study involved adopting the technology acceptance model (TAM) to examine the correlation between the predictor variables perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and behavior intention (BI) and the outcome …
