Factors influencing behavioural intention to adopt blockchain technology

Copyright © 2018 International Business Information Management Association (IBIMA). This short paper proposes the potential effect on individuals' behavioural intention to adopt blockchain technology. It recognises the importance of blockchain and its associate Bitcoin, and it seeks to shed light on the factors that enable or challenge individuals' behavioural intention to utilise the new phenomena. In particular, this study argues there are three potential dimensions in which one's behavioural intention can be impacted. It suggests that the behavioural intention to adopt blockchain technology is associated with perceived risk, perceived value, and personal innovativeness. This study provides an opportunity for future research to validate the proposed model and suggests a plan to conduct such verification
