Introduction
In serving the latest century generation’ needs the innovative ideas providers are
rapidly widening their own market share in competition with traditional ones, by
furnishing irresistible platforms which can satisfy the subscribers’ needs under
highly secure environment. The fast adopting of new technologies became the most
competitive factor among goods and services providers in aim to serve the rapidly
improving customers’ expectations, which are derived by wide orientation towards
technology leading environment(Liu et al., 2015).
For last decade the mobile phones have been reported to be the highest influencer
into human lives in compare to other technologies (Jack and Suri, 2011).
Furthermore, the mankind daily activities has been switched from traditional world
to virtual one by relying on those hand-held devices, which made big
transformation caused by the rapidly adoption of mobile phone (Thakur and
Srivastava, 2014).
As stated in the global attitude survey directed by PEW research center, 65% of
adults in Malaysia reported owing a smartphone, which is considered high

Literature Review
Digital wallet and customers’ acceptance
Few years back the idea of digital wallet has been initiated, starting with switching
from using bank notes to accepting debit and credit cards, followed by forming
EMVCo as a secure payment method rely on smart payment cards with
membership of six organizations namely American Express, Discover, JCB,
MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa (EMVCo, n.d.). Using EMV required to provide
point-of-sale (POS) machine at the shops to read the encrypted information which
has been saved in the “ship and pin” cards. By mid of 2012 over 1.55 billion EMV
cards and 21.6 million (POS) have been launched worldwide (Shaw, 2014).
Afterward, with invention of Near Field Communications (NFC) the process of
making payment became easier if the card and the processing terminal are near to
each other (pay wave) but this option kept just for less risky transactions with
limited small amounts(Cavoukian, 2012).
This technology has been later added to mobile phones where the user can securely
save all the financial information in digital wallet which can be used later ‘to
commence, verify and confirm an exchange of financial value in return for goods
and services’ (Rajan, 2011). Moreover, using the mobile phone to process
transactions has been reported to be more secure based on customers’ point of
view, with 2004 US respondents concluded that z generation (born from
approximately 1996 to 2015) are smarter with money. Correspondingly, while 63%
of z generation are concerned about privacy and security when paying with credit
or debit card online, but only 54% of them have same concern when using a mobile
payment app (Villa, 2017).

The mobile wallet has been categorized into four different types based on the
ability to reload, linkage with the bank and the option of cash withdrawal (Wadhera
et al., 2017). (Table 1).
The acceptance of mobile digital wallet has many steps yet to go further, and a lot
of obstacles to overcome, such as the need to develop a generalized mobile digital
wallet ecosystem includes the main players and required capabilities, this matter
has been discussed by Cole et al., (2009) and came out with illustrating elements of
a mobile digital wallet ecosystem. Furthermore, there is a need to figure out the
factors affecting the adoption behaviour towards mobile digital wallet, based on
systematic literature review of 21 papers studied consumers’ behaviour towards
adopting digital payments which has been published at 2017, found that technology
acceptance model (TAM) and its extension is the most used technology adoption
theory (used in 14 papers out of 21 under investigation) followed by Unified
Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and other theories like
Diffusions of Innovations Theory (DOI) (Rathore, 2016).
Few studies have been considered the consumers’ point of view by conducting
research to figure out the factors affecting their attitude and intention to use. As
example, in his study to understand the consumer acceptance of mobile wallet at
2009, Shin has been defined the mobile wallet as “a form of payment that enables
users to conduct payment electronically via use of a mobile device, replacing the
physical wallet so that payment transactions can be completed at a merchant’s
location”. Furthermore, by using UTAUT his research’s result confirmed the
importance role of classical TAM constructs (perceived usefulness and ease of use)
and also explored new significant effect of perceived security and trust into users’
attitudes and intentions (Shin, 2009). Additionally, at 2013, Shaw in his study
about adoption of the mobile wallet among Canadian business school’s students,
using the TAM found that factors positively affecting users’ intention are perceived
usefulness, Trust and Informal learning. Nevertheless perceived ease of use found
to not have positivise influence into the intention to use mobile wallet based on this
study settings (Shaw, 2014). While many underpinning theories have been applied
to study humans’ behaviour toward technology using, this paper applied the most

Methodology
Conceptual framework
The “Fig. 2,” demonstrates the proposed model based on TAM with adding
perceived risk as it’s argued to have moderating role on the relation between
attitude and intention to switch to mobile wallet.
Measurement
The questioner which has been used in this study included adopted items from
previous TAM literature, with 5 - point Likert scale ranging from (1) strongly
disagree to (5) strongly agree. First section of the questioner included information
about demographic profile of the respondents such as, gender; age; education
attainment and the frequency of using digital wallet. Moreover, while the study
conducted on staff of Universiti Kuala Lumpur, business school a question about
the staff category whether academic or service staff has been added. Second section
of the questioner included the factors measurement of the five constructs used in
this study. The table 3 including all the items used with reference.

Sampling
Random sampling survey method has been conducted among the staff of business
school in Univerisiti Kuala Lumpur to collect the data. Online questioner has been
used to ease the process of responses collection.
Data analysis and results
Respondents characteristics: The demographic profile of the respondents was
analyzed by the descriptive analysis. Most of the respondents were from the
academic staff, and ages fell into range (31 – 40). Furthermore, most of the
25
POLISH JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES 2018
Alaeddin O., Rana A., Zainudin Z., Kamarudin F. Vol.17 No.2
respondents were female, and most of them use the mobile digital wallet 4-5 times
per month.
Construct validity: Using the partial least squares structural equation modeling
PLS-SEM, the construct validity has been proved. Three steps of validation have
been conducted namely content validity, convergent Validity and discriminant
Validity.
Measuring the content validity means that all items are measuring the core concept
of the construct it has been used for (Hair et al., 2017). With factor loading higher
than 0.7 (Hair et al., 1998) range (0.734 to 0.982) all items showed significant
representing to the variable it’s measuring. Moreover all items show higher factor
loading for their respective construct comparing to others.
Three measurements have been used for convergent validity confirmation, first
factor loading higher than 0.7 (Hair et al., 2017), composite reliability higher than
0.7 additionally construct’s AVE is larger than 0.5 (Chin, 1998). The results show
that the convergent validity in confirmed.
For the third part of construct validity called discriminant validity, the square root
of Average Variance Extracted (AVE) has been used and results show all measure
are more related to their own construct than other ones.
Based on the results of the previous mentioned analysis we can conclude that
construct validity was established in this study.
Testing mediating effect: The recommended method to measure the mediating
effect called bootstrapping (Hair et al., 2016) has been used in this study, the result
shows that (T value is 5.728 > 1.96) which means Behavioral intention play a role
of mediator. Additionally based on the results of P value can conclude that it plays
full mediator role for both relations (perceived usefulness intention) and
(perceived ease of use intention).
Testing moderating effect: To calculate the potential moderation effects of
perceived risk, it was necessary to create the individual interaction of these factor,
which is represented in Smart PLS terminology as BA*PR. While the paths are
significant, P value has been calculated (β=-0.95, t=2.047, p<0.05) and the result
shows that perceived risk plays a significant pull moderator role in the relation
between behavioral attitude and behavioral intention to switch of the mobile wallet.
Research Discussion
While the current movements heading towards adopting the mobile digital wallet,
this study figured out two critical factors affecting the intention to switch from the
traditional way of payment to the digital one by using mobile phone. Both
perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use found to be significant factors to
create attitude toward switching to mobile digital wallet. Furthermore, this attitude
has a significant role to generate intention to switch, while this role is affected
negatively by the perceived risk associated with the switching decision to this new
method of payment.

This study approved that TAM is applicable to investigate the customers switching
behavior, also this study found perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are
significantly and positively effect the customer attitude which is compatible with
results of previous researches(Diatmika et al., 2016; Elkaseh er al., 2016; Saadé
and Bahli, 2005).
Also this study approved the moderator role of perceived risk into the relation
between attitude and intention which also compatible with the previous researches
(Casidy and Wymer, 2016; Martins et al., 2014).
