  1. RA relative advantage, CB compatibility, SC security concern, TR management support, TL top management support, FS firm size, ES external support, EP external pressure, RE regulatory environment, AD adoption situation.
  2. aS.D. denotes the standard deviation.
  3. bConstruct reliability = (sum of standardized loadings)2/ [(sum of standardized loadings)2 + (sum of indicator measurement error)]; the indicator measurement error is calculated as 1- (standardized loading)2.
  4. cSquare root of the average variance extracted (AVE) (in bold on diagonal).
  5. dCorrelation is significant at the 0.05 level.
