Abstract | This study investigates the determining factors of residents’ behavioural intention and use
behaviour to the adoption of estate mobile applications for property management services in
the private residential sector in Hong Kong based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and
Use of Technology (UTAUT) model by examining the core constructs of performance
expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions from the model.
Questions were carefully designed to conduct the questionnaire survey by face-to-face and
by online survey platform for measurement of those core UTAUT constructs, and the survey
successfully collected quantitative data from 136 no. of respondents residing in private
residential sector in Hong Kong with experience of using estate mobile application for
property management services. The proposed model with quantitative data collected was
analyzed by Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results of the
study revealed that the core UTAUT constructs of performance expectancy, effort
expectancy, and social influence showed positive correlations with residents’ behavioural intention of using the estate mobile application; while facilitating conditions and behavioural
intention positively correlated with the residents’ actual use behaviour to the adoption of
estate mobile application. Findings from the study showed the strongest predicting power of
social influence to behavioural intention, at the same time facilitating conditions having the
strongest predicting power to the use behaviour. Therefore, the results provided insights of
how to improve the attraction to residents for both intentional and actual use of estate mobile
applications for property management services by strategically working on the enhancement
of services of estate mobile application associated with the aspects of social influence and
facilitating conditions.
At last, the study concluded by providing practical implications for property management
companies to refine the development directions of estate mobile application, and the study
also brought about valuable theoretical contributions for scholars to continue the study on
the acceptance of estate mobile applications under a more in-depth framework of study in
the future.
