ABSTRACT
This study delves into the integration of Perceived Enjoyment within the framework of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) through a descriptive examination. Focusing specifically on users of the Tokopedia platform, the research aims to understand the extent to which Perceived Enjoyment factors contribute to the acceptance and adoption of technology. Utilizing a descriptive approach, this study assesses the indicators of Perceived Enjoyment integration including users' perceptions of the appeal of the Tokopedia application, the enjoyment derived from the product search process, the comfort of interacting with online sellers, and the overall satisfaction of the online shopping experience. The findings highlight users' positive perceptions toward the integration of Perceived Enjoyment, with an average response score of 3.34. The research underlines the significant role of Perceived Enjoyment in influencing users' attitudes and intentions to adopt technology. These insights shed light on how integrating elements of enjoyment within the UTAUT framework can enhance technology acceptance and usage. The outcomes of this study can provide valuable insights for e-commerce platforms like Tokopedia, guiding them in refining user experiences and fostering technological adoption.
KEY WORDS
Perceived enjoyment, UTAUT, online sellers, e-commerce.
The development of digital marketing is closely related to the use of communication and information technology. Individual behavior in the use of a technology is very interesting because the development of technology itself has an impact on consumer purchasing behavior patterns. Attitudes towards technological developments and the adaptation of each individual to technology are evaluated by researchers with different concepts. There are several approaches to technology acceptance that are defined as technology acceptance (Davis, 1989), other studies are considered as technological innovation adaptation (Moore and Benbasar, 1991), diffusion of innovation (Roger, 1983). Continuous research continues to be carried out to ensure the acceptance and use of technology to become more mature exploration materials. The development of model characteristics regarding technology acceptance has resulted in the development of a unified model that brings together alternative views of users and usage innovation known as The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Of Technology (UTAUT) (Williams et al., 2015).
UTAUT is ontologically an integration of several of these theories developed for the explanation of individual attitudes towards systems that have shown cumulative development (Rondan-Cataluna et al, 2015; Donmez 2019). UTAUT serves as a comprehensive model that can be applied in various applications and has proven to be a valid tool for predicting adoption behavior in various technology-based systems (Tarhini, et al., 2016). UTAUT is a model that is widely used to predict acceptance and use of technology (Tarhini et al., 2016) and has proven to be a more robust model compared to other models (Venkatesh et al., 2003).
Although UTAUT is a model that has an existence with several constructs that explain technology adoption, there is still a need to investigate factors that are important for the customer context (Venkatesh et al., 2012). UTAUT was originally to investigate technology acceptance in the organizational context, so it is still very limited in investigating the scope of technology use in a voluntary context (Tarhini et al., 2016 and Oliveira et al., 2016).
The development of the UTAUT model in the adoption of individual technology use is very important. Convenience is the main thing for individuals to try new technology. This perceived enjoyment is a level of satisfaction that users feel when making online purchases on a particular website even though it is only limited to making someone feel happy and does not include the results that users get from the experience (Ulan, 2016).
LITERATURE REVIEW
UTAUT, devised by Venkatesh et al. (2003), represents a contemporary model for understanding technology adoption. This model amalgamates key elements from eight prominent technology acceptance theories into a singular framework. These encompass the theory of reasoned action (TRA), technology acceptance model (TAM), motivational model (MM), theory of planned behavior (TPB), the combined TAM and TPB approach, model of PC utilization (MPTU), innovation diffusion theory (IDT), and social cognitive theory (SCT) (Prasetyo, 2017). Through UTAUT, not only can the acceptance of information technology and systems be comprehended, but also the actual patterns of their utilization. The UTAUT model's notable strength lies in its capacity to integrate diverse TAMs, which significantly enhances the study of technology acceptance and employment (Venkatesh et al., 2003).
Performance expectancy pertains to the degree to which the utilization of a technology offers advantages to users in performing tasks (Venkatesh et al., 2012). This concept significantly influences the intention to adopt a technology. If an individual strongly believes that a technology's performance will enhance their work, they are more inclined to use it over an extended period (Venkatesh, 2003). Performance expectancy's formulation draws from several sources, including relative advantage (from IDT), perceived benefits (TAM), job fit (MPCU), intrinsic motivation (from MM), and outcome expectations (from SCT) (Venkatesh et al., 2012).
Effort expectancy relates to the simplicity of using a specific system and reflects the effort users invest in system usage (Venkatesh et al., 2012; Christiano and Brahmana, 2018). Adenan (2015) defines effort expectancy as the perceived ease of system use. Research by Davis (1989) in Chang (2016) suggests that user acceptance of an application is linked to its user-friendliness. This construct draws from three underlying factors: perception of ease of use (Technology Acceptance Model), system complexity (Model of Personal Computer Utilization), and operational straightforwardness (Innovation Diffusion Theory) (Adenan, 2015; Venkatesh et al., 2003).
Social influence encompasses an individual's responsiveness to the actions of others who also adopt the system (Venkatesh et al., 2003). This entails the extent to which a person values others' input in persuading them to embrace a new system. Social influence reflects an individual's perception that significant others endorse their use of an application (Venkatesh & Davis, 1996; Adenan, 2015). Ventakesh (2000) proposes three mechanisms— compliance, internalization, and identification—through which social influence impacts behavior. It is influenced by contextual factors, such as peer influence, voluntary engagement, and organizational factors (Hartwick & Barki, 1994; Karahanna & Straub, 1999; Adenan, 2015).
Facilitating conditions entail an individual's belief in the presence of organizational and technical support to facilitate system use (Venkatesh et al., 2003). This also encompasses an individual's confidence in the resources within their environment, such as connectivity, network availability, and device access, which bolster their readiness to adopt technology (Thompson et al., 1991; Venkatesh et al., 2003; Personal, 2019). Facilitating conditions draw from three main sources: control of conscious behavior (technology acceptance model and theory of planned behavior), enabling circumstances (model of personal computer utilization), and compatibility (innovation diffusion theory).
Behavioral intention signifies an individual's planned future actions or decisions (Sancaka and Subagio, 2014). In the context of system usage, it indicates a user's intent to consistently engage with the system, assuming ongoing access (Venkatesh et al., 2003). This construct serves as a gauge of the strength of an individual's intent to engage in specific
behaviors. Across various user acceptance models, behavioral intention serves as a predictor of actual usage, positioned between perceptions of technology use and the use behavior itself (Venkatesh et al., 2003).
Use behavior represents the actual and practical application of a system (Davis 1989). It signifies the transition from desire or intention to genuine and sustained use. Authentic usage indicates continuous engagement with technology because it fulfills specific needs. This journey is shaped by the initial desire or intention, influenced by the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the technology.
Perceived enjoyment encapsulates the notion that engaging with a system is intrinsically pleasurable, beyond the practical outcomes of its usage (Juniwati, 2015). It signifies an overall awareness of enjoyment when fully engaged in certain activities. This concept also applies to online experiences, where satisfaction and happiness during online purchases on specific websites contribute to consumer decisions (Ulaan et al., 2016; Carr et al., 2001).
METHODS RESEARCH
This research is an explanatory research, which intends to analyze and explain the relationship that occurs between the variables "performance expectancy", "effort expectancy", "social influence" and "facilitating conditions" and enjoyment perception as antecedents of behavioral intention on actual behavior to use the Tokopedia application. As stated by Emory (1980) that explanatory research is research conducted to find an explanation of the relationship and influence of several predetermined factors or variables. The method used in this research is the survey research method. This research is descriptive research conducted on large and small populations, with the intention of producing generalizations. The data is data that studies samples taken from the population (Kerlinger, 1996).

Shen et al. (2010) contend that understanding consumer acceptance of new technology is a complex matter that necessitates the application of multiple models. Jakson et al. (2013) similarly emphasize that an integrative approach offers unique insights beyond what a single theoretical model can provide. However, the field of technology acceptance research often lacks comprehensive integrated models necessary to grasp the entirety of this domain (AbuShanab and Pearson, 2007). In response to this gap, Venkatesh et al. (2003) introduced a model that amalgamates existing technology acceptance frameworks into the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). This amalgamation incorporates theories like the theory of reasoned action (TRA), technology acceptance model (TAM), motivational model (MM), theory of planned behavior (TPB), combined TAM and TPB, model of PC utilization (MPTU), innovation diffusion theory (IDT), and social cognitive theory (SCT) (Prasetyo, 2017).
Within this proposed model, key dimensions include "performance expectancy," "effort expectancy," "social influence," and "facilitating conditions." Performance expectancy gauges the extent to which technology usage benefits consumers in their activities (Venkatesh et al., 2012). Notably, performance expectancy significantly influences an individual's inclination to adopt a technology (Rahi and Abd. Ghani, 2018; Venkatesh et al., 2003). Effort expectancy, on the other hand, measures the simplicity of using a specific system, reflecting the effort users invest (Venkatesh et al., 2012). The perceived usefulness of information technology fosters interest and comfort in using the system (Jati & Laksito, 2012; Deng, et al., 2009).
Social influence examines how individuals perceive the encouragement from others to adopt a new system. Inputs, information, and endorsements from individuals such as friends, family, colleagues, and superiors play a pivotal role in influencing technology adoption (Zhou et al., 2010; Yu, 2012; Oliviera et al., 2016; Alalwan, et al., 2017). Facilitating conditions, drawing from Triandis (52), involve the level and type of support that impact technology usage. In workplace contexts, facilitating conditions encompass factors like training availability and support provision. These conditions positively correlate with the desire to use internet technology and significantly affect its actual usage (Atmaja and Puspitawati, 2020).
Perceived Enjoyment is defined as a comprehensive awareness of the sensory experience while deeply engaged in a specific activity. In the realm of online shopping, enjoyment holds equal significance to physical shopping, influencing customer intentions and behaviors (Juniwati, 2015). Dasgupta & Gupta (2011); Ulaan et al. (2016) revealed that perceived enjoyment positively influences the intention to shop online. This highlights the
imperative for online retailers to prioritize the pleasurable aspects of the online shopping experience to enhance customer engagement.
Theoretical Implications. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of technology acceptance by focusing on the integration of Perceived Enjoyment within the UTAUT framework. By examining the role of Perceived Enjoyment indicators among Tokopedia users, the research extends the existing knowledge on how positive emotional experiences can influence users' intentions to adopt and utilize technology. The findings provide empirical evidence that Perceived Enjoyment, as a significant factor, can be seamlessly integrated into the UTAUT model, enhancing its explanatory power. This expansion enriches the model's ability to explain users' technology adoption behaviors in a more comprehensive manner.
Practical Implications. For practitioners in the e-commerce and technology industry, the insights from this study hold practical implications. First, understanding the impact of Perceived Enjoyment on users' behavioral intentions can guide platform designers and developers in enhancing user experiences. By optimizing user interfaces, personalizing content, and incorporating elements that enhance enjoyment, e-commerce platforms like Tokopedia can foster positive user emotions and increase adoption rates. Second, the study's findings highlight the significance of facilitating conditions and social influences. Ensuring that users have adequate knowledge, support, and access to the required facilities for smooth technology interaction is crucial. E-commerce platforms should invest in user education, offer reliable customer support, and promote the platform's benefits through word-of-mouth campaigns. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous improvements and innovation. To maintain a competitive edge, e-commerce platforms should consistently refine their services, aligning them with users' preferences and technological advancements. By keeping the process of online shopping enjoyable, convenient, and efficient, platforms can increase user satisfaction and loyalty, subsequently driving long-term success.
In conclusion, this study bridges theoretical insights with practical recommendations, offering a comprehensive understanding of how Perceived Enjoyment integration influences technology adoption among Tokopedia users. These implications can serve as a roadmap for e-commerce platforms aiming to enhance user experiences, increase adoption rates, and achieve sustained growth in today's dynamic digital landscape.
CONCLUSION
In this comprehensive study, we explored the integration of Perceived Enjoyment within the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework, focusing on Tokopedia users. The findings shed light on the pivotal role that Perceived Enjoyment plays in influencing users' attitudes and intentions toward technology adoption. Through a descriptive analysis of various indicators, we observed that users generally hold positive perceptions regarding the integration of Perceived Enjoyment within the context of the Tokopedia application.
The study underscores the significance of Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Behavioral Intention, and Use Behavior in shaping users' perceptions and actions. This holistic understanding contributes to the theoretical advancement of technology acceptance theories and extends the practical insights for ecommerce platforms.
Building on the insights gained from this study, there are several avenues for future research that can further enrich the understanding of technology adoption and user behaviors:
• Cross-Platform Analysis: Extend the research to encompass a broader range of ecommerce platforms to understand how Perceived Enjoyment varies across different platforms and how it impacts users' preferences;
• Longitudinal Studies: Conduct longitudinal studies to track users' attitudes and behaviors over time. This can provide insights into the stability and sustainability of technology adoption influenced by Perceived Enjoyment;
• Cultural Context: Investigate how cultural differences might influence the integration of Perceived Enjoyment within the UTAUT model. Different cultures may interpret and respond to enjoyment factors differently, affecting adoption patterns;
• Qualitative Exploration: Supplement quantitative findings with qualitative research methods to gain deeper insights into the underlying reasons behind users' perceptions of Perceived Enjoyment and its impact on adoption;
• Innovation and User Experience: Further explore the impact of continual innovation and user experience enhancements on the interplay between Perceived Enjoyment and technology adoption.
In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights into the role of Perceived Enjoyment within the UTAUT framework and its implications for technology adoption. As technology continues to evolve and shape our daily lives, understanding how enjoyment influences adoption behaviors remains critical for both researchers and practitioners in the field of technology and e-commerce.
