Title: “Does Emotional Intelligence Impact Technology Adoption?”: A study on Adoption of
Augmented Reality

Journal: Asia Pacific Journal of Information Systems

The study makes several contributions to not only the adoption literature

by examining the influence of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Big-Five traits
on adoption of Augmented Reality (AR) but also given its utility in both
industry and research, it contributes to the interesting inter-disciplinary

domain of psychology, information systems, and human behaviour. A
quantitative based approach using a sample of 275 respondents was
undertaken. It is found that emotional intelligence influence both perceived

ease-of-use and perceived usefulness. They in turn influence intention to
use. Another important observation is that personality traits (openness
and agreeableness) have a significant moderating effect on the relation

between attitude and intention to use

AR. This research will help academicians
and executives working on the adoption

of AR in various sectors ranging from
retail industry to the education sector. The

originality of this study is that it explores
the impact of EI on the acceptance of AR

and helps in extending the literature in
interdisciplinary research.
