Purpose

Drawing inspiration from the organizational information processing theory, the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of motivation, this study aims to examine the acceptance of private and public blockchain technology-based collaboration among supply chain practitioners.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 257 samples were collected through a survey from supply chain practitioners. The study used parallel mediators of perceived usefulness (extrinsic motivation) and perceived ease of use (intrinsic motivation) to measure behavioral intention to use.

Findings

The results reveal that partial mediation exists between blockchain-based collaboration (private and public) and behavioral intention to use. For perceived usefulness, a stronger mediating effect was found between private blockchain-based collaboration and behavioral intention to use. For perceived ease of use, a stronger mediating effect was found between public blockchain-based collaboration and behavioral intention to use.

Originality/value

By integrating insights from the organizational information processing theory, the TAM and the theory of motivation, this study provides an in-depth understanding of how the distinct features of information processing in blockchain technology-based collaboration influence the supply chain practitioners’ to accept it. The novelty and results of the study expand the existing literature and pave the way for future research.

影响供应链从业者接受基于私有和公共区块链的协作的因素：平行中介模型

目的

从组织信息处理理论、技术接受模型 (TAM) 和动机理论中汲取灵感，本研究旨在检验供应链从业者对基于私有和公共区块链技术的协作的接受程度。

设计/方法/途径

通过对供应链从业者的调查，共收集了 257 个样本。该研究使用感知有用性（外在动机）和感知易用性（内在动机）的平行中介来衡量使用行为意图。

发现

结果表明，基于区块链的协作（私人和公共）与行为使用意愿之间存在部分中介作用。对于感知有用性，在基于私有区块链的协作和使用行为意图之间发现了更强的中介效应。对于感知易用性，在基于公共区块链的协作和行为使用意愿之间发现了更强的中介效应。

原创性/价值

通过整合组织信息处理理论、TAM 和动机理论的见解，本研究深入了解基于区块链技术的协作中信息处理的独特特征如何影响供应链从业者的接受度。该研究的新颖性和结果扩展了现有文献并为未来的研究铺平了道路。
