Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to compile the
correlation variables of the characteristics of boxers’ use
of smart boxing gloves. This study combined their
behavioral characteristics, the unified theory of
acceptance, and the use of technology (UTAUT) model to
empirically analyze the important factors influencing the
boxers’ intention to use smart boxing gloves. This study
used the questionnaire survey method to collect data, and
intentional sampling was applied to sample the selected 250
college students. A total of 230 questionnaires were
returned, for a return rate of 92%. The number of valid
questionnaires was 206, for a valid questionnaire rate of
89%. The collected data were analyzed according to the
measurement and structural model of structural equation
modeling. The results of this study show that the
performance expectancy of using smart boxing gloves had
a positive and significant effect on behavioral intention.
The effort expectancy (perceived ease of use) of using
smart boxing gloves had a positive and significant effect on
behavioral intention. The social influence of using smart
boxing gloves did not have a positive and significant effect
on behavioral intention; the facilitating conditions (helping
conditions) of using smart boxing gloves had a positive and
significant effect on behavioral intention. The degree of
involvement of using smart boxing gloves had a positive
and significant effect on behavioral intention. The degree
of involvement in using smart boxing gloves had a
moderating effect on the relationship between
performance expectancy and behavioral intention, and the
degree of involvement in using smart boxing gloves had a
moderating effect on the relationship between effort
expectancy (perceived ease of use) and behavioral
intention. The degree of involvement of using smart boxing
gloves had no moderating effect on the relationship
between social influence and behavioral intention. The
voluntary use of smart boxing gloves had a moderating
effect on the relationship between social influence and
behavioral intention.
