Abstract

This research paper aims to scan the relationship between perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, adoption to satisfaction, and attitude towards the continuous use of e-wallets during the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers opted to conduct a study on this because of the proliferation of the use of digital wallets in the Philippines, such as Maya, Gcash, and others. There are about 2,644 distributed questionnaires. The study included partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and a questionnaire tailored to business owners' understanding and attitudes towards using e-wallets. The investigation revealed that perceived susceptibility, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are related to satisfaction with using e-wallets. Moreover, satisfaction with using e-wallets is related to the attitude towards e-wallets. In addition, attitudes towards e-wallets impact business owners' continuous use of e-wallets in the Philippines. This means that because of the pandemic, business owners have a positive attitude toward the continuous use of e-wallets. The study recommends policymakers to continue monitoring e-wallet providers since it is a new scheme of payments.

Abstract

This research aims to establish the relationship between the five components of engagement and the destination loyalty of 1,400 local visitors in the province of Ilocos Norte. Enthusiasm, attention, absorption, interaction, and identification were the variables of this study. The study included structural equation modeling and a questionnaire tailored to the pandemic-related alterations. The results of the inquiry demonstrated this zeal. Attention, interaction, and identification were the factors that influenced destination loyalty. Interaction has the greatest impact on a visitor's loyalty to a place; consequently, it is advised to improve this component. In addition, the report recommends that the provincial government and local tourism officials do more research to identify potential discrepancies between male and female visitor reactions.

Abstract

The study aims to determine the effect of awareness of business students towards cryptocurrencies and readiness of universities and colleges to accept cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange considering the mediation of business students’ attitude. The research used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and deployed a questionnaire attuned to the awareness and attitudes of business students towards cryptocurrencies and readiness and compatibility of use to universities and colleges in Ilocos Norte. The output of the investigation revealed that awareness of business students are not correlated to readiness of universities and colleges which means that even though students understand cryptocurrencies, it is not an assurance that universities and colleges are ready to accept it as medium of exchange. The study proposes that trainings and seminars for business students and professionals should be conducted to expand understanding and acceptance of cryptocurrencies.
