2 A Study on Factors Influencing Adoption of Technology and Innovation in Banking Industry, Tamilnadu, India 1. INTRODUCTION In the present era of technology, innovation and transparency, application of web-based technologies to achieve business improvement become common in the entire business scenario. Banks are forced to invest huge investment in developing information technology infrastructure, new innovations to differentiate between competitors. In India the decade from 1998 to 2008 was marked by proliferated application of electronic commerce in Banks (Saffu et al. 2008). The benefits received from Banks by incorporating web based electronic commerce are reduction in cost, enhanced business opportunities, personalized service to customers, speedy delivery and reduction in lead time (Turban et al., 2008). Online banking constitutes a blend of conventional banking and web technology, being more and more patronized by banking sectors worldwide. Introduction of IT facilities like online banking has led to improved service quality and superior service delivery within the banking sector. Although developed nations such as United States, Australia, Estonia and others in Europe (have implemented online banking, indicated a growing trend of online banking adoption by developing countries as well. In India after the concept of digital India, Online Banking is growing enormously. In the recent years, banking sector in India have been marked by exponential growth and remained fairly unscathed from the ill-effects of financial meltdown owing to a proactive and prudential regulatory regime. According to an IBEF 2015 report, total banking assets in India touched $ 1.8 trillion in 2013 and are anticipated to cross $ 28.5 trillion by The total banking sector credit is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 18.1 percent to reach $ 2.4 trillion by Further, the Indian banking has the potential to become the fifth largest banking industry in the world by 2020 and third largest by Thus it becomes inevitable for the banks to adopt technology for expanding its customer reach and delivering high quality service experience at all times. The number of internet users in India is expected to reach 500 million by June 2018, report by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and Kantar IMRB on Tuesday. The number of Internet users stood at 481 million in December 2017, an increase of 11.34% over December 2016 said the report titled, "Internet in India 2017." Urban India with an estimated population of 455 million already has 295 million using the internet. Rural India, with an estimated population of 918 million as per 2011 census, has only 186 million internet users leaving out potential 732 million users in rural India. "Given that total Urban Population is much lower than total rural population, the Urban-Rural Digital divide is actually more acute than what the penetration numbers portray. The future growth policies therefore must focus on bridging the digital divide that exists between urban and rural India today," the report added. Internet penetration in Urban India was 64.84% in December 2017 as compared to 60.6% last December. In comparison, rural Internet penetration has grown from 18% last December to 20.26% in December Online banking has redefined the customer relationship interface for banking entities. In a branch based banking set-up, the access to bank s information system was restricted to bank staff. Thus, customer interface was limited to bank counter and bank executive serving at the counter was essentially the end user of information system. Online banking has enabled an average banking customer to access bank s information system anywhere and anytime towards availing desired banking services. Online banking facility, in general, provides direct access to information and data related to account and transactions, facilitates giving editor@iaeme.com

NEED FOR THE STUDY Human behavior, in general, takes time to adjust and accept radical changes within its macro environment. Banking through online medium is not alien in this regard. Banking customers accustomed to branch confined banking exhibit diverse apprehensions towards instant adoption of online banking facility. This makes is imperative for banks to identify the factors which are decisive for their customers to embrace online banking and avail cost effective service delivery. This study aims to validate factors which influence online banking adoption among banking customers and test their individual causal significance towards satisfaction. The determinant factors have been identified based on a synoptic review of literature. The relationships have been proposed and illustrated through a parsimonious behavioral model comprising of constructs of an operative character from banks perspective. The investment in development of internet banking infrastructure has been planned by organizations and governments to achieve growth in banking activity, reduction in transactional cost and improvement in efficiency and quality of banking. These outcomes can be realized contingent on the level of participation in internet banking. Policymakers involved in designing initiatives for promoting internet banking among the citizens need to understand the major factors influencing customer acceptance of formulate policies for the marketing and development of banking services and products, recruitment and technology procurement decisions intended not only to satisfy key customer needs but also to increase the number of customers that adopt internet banking. This study investigates the Indian banking customer to provide the much needed inputs required for making strategic decisions with respect to education, promotion and technology development for internet banking. Further, the knowledge of the various dimensions and their impact on the degree of acceptance can help in allocating resources when designing initiatives and developing the technologies for internet banking. 3. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Implementation of technology can affect the user in a number of ways, and the success of a technology is largely dependent on the individual acceptance of the new technology. A number of implementations have failed primarily because of a lower level of acceptance from users. Researchers have sought to understand the factors affecting individual acceptance of technologies. Because behavioral intention (INT) to use a system is a key determinant of the actual use of the system, intention-based models have been developed to determine technology acceptance and use. Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) define INT as the measure of the strength of one s intention to perform a specified behavior. The theory of reasoned action (TRA) model by Ajzen and Fishbein (1980) is a popular intention model that can be used to study behavioral intentions with regard to acceptance or use of a technology. The TRA model was modified to propose the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model that incorporates the impact of the perceived absence or presence of requisite resources and opportunities (Ajzen and Madden, 1986). Although TRA and TPB (Ajzen, 1985) are theories that model behavioral intention, technology acceptance model (TAM) (Davis, 1989; Davis et al., 1989) adapts the TRA model to explain the behavior or INT of the user specifically in relation to the acceptance of an information technology. The adaptation explains the attitude (ATT) variable, originally introduced in the TRA model, using two separate and distinct constructs or beliefs, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) editor@iaeme.com

4 A Study on Factors Influencing Adoption of Technology and Innovation in Banking Industry, Tamilnadu, India Perceived usefulness is defined as the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her job performance. Perceived ease of use, in contrast, refers to the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would be free of effort (Davis, 1989). The behavioral intention to use the technology or system is a function of PU and ATT. Further, the adaptation also excludes the subjective norm from the original TRA model as one of the determinants of INT and includes external factors that can influence the beliefs PU and PEOU. These two beliefs are statistically distinct (Swanson, 1974) and imply that the INT to use the system is higher when the system is perceived to be effective to achieve his/her purpose by the user and the effort or level of difficulty is perceived to be reasonable. A research study by Klopping and McKinney (2004) is one of the several studies that provide research support to state that TAM is superior to other methods for predicting INT. Venkatesh et al. (2003) proposed a unified theory of acceptance and the use of technology that integrates the erstwhile models to propose a model that introduces four dimensions: (i) performance expectance, (ii) effort expectance, (iii) social influence (SI) and (iv)facilitating conditions for explaining the level of acceptance of usage behavior with respect to technologies. 4. FACTORS INFLUENCING INTERNET BANKING ADOPTION Social Influence SI has often been discussed in studies dealing with internet adoption and is known to impact the adoption of internet and other new technologies by users. Venkatesh and Morris (2000) discuss the interaction between gender and SI. SI pertains to the degree to which one relies on his or her own opinion or places importance on social image, other s advice or perceptions. Davis et al. (1989) mention that users might decide to use a technology based on reasons other than one s own beliefs and feelings. Internet Banking Awareness In this research study, the construct awareness (AW) refers to the information that the user possesses regarding availability of online banking, range of services, process of signing up and benefits and risks involved. Awareness has been cited as an important factor in determining a user s adoption of internet banking (Sathye, 1999; Pikkarainen et al., 2004). In India, recent trends show that banks and other e-services are increasingly following the practice of highlighting the internet banking services that can be availed by the user. Trust In the context of online banking factors such as reliability of the system, privacy and security influences trustworthiness, and in turn determines the extent of adoption by banking customers. Importance of shared value towards development of trust and long-term relationship commitment in case of internet banking was emphasized by (Mukherjee and Nath, 2003). The study established communication as a moderate influencer on trust, while opportunistic behavior was found to have a profound negative impact. Future commitment of banking customers towards internet banking depends on perceived trust as determined by the study. Casalo et al., (2007) observed that security and privacy, usability, and reputation lend a positive effect on consumer trust in the context of an internet banking website. As part of the study, trust was found to have significant positive effect on long-term commitment of customers towards online banking editor@iaeme.com

5 W. Porselvi, Dr. D.Jublee and Dr. G. Sivanesan Quality of the Internet Connection The quality of internet (QI) banking, defined in terms of speed and continuity, can influence user s perception of the ease of use. A low-quality connection can make completion of banking tasks difficult and lead to uncertainty regarding the status of transaction. This can adversely impact the degree of PEOU and affect the adoption of internet banking. On the other hand, a better internet service can enhance the user s perception of ease of use and make the user more inclined to use internet banking (Sathye, 1999). Computer Self-Efficacy Computer self-efficacy (CSE) refers to the degree to which an individual relies on his or her own abilities to use the service with no or minimal assistance. The assistance can be in the form of a manual, a phone call or a customer representative. The CSE can vary depending on the cumulative experience and learning from earlier use of a variety of technologies. A number of studies establish the relationship between CSE and the degree of use of internet banking and CSE and PEOU (Davis, 1989; Wang et al., 2003). 5. RESEARCH MODEL This study utilized modified TAM model which is referred as e-tam for predicting the acceptance of internet technologies by banking customers in India. The research model consists of nine dimensions, which are identified from the literature review related to online Banking. The identified dimensions are Social influence, Internet Banking awareness, Trust, Quality of Internet connection, Computer self efficacy, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived ease of use, Customer attitude and Intention to use online Banking. 6.

The psychometric properties of all constructs under consideration for this study are given in the above table. The principal component analysis with varimax rotation was used to find how and to what extent the items are associated with respective constructs (Chong et al., 2010). The principle component analysis was used to identify the selected items group on one or more than one constructs. Factor loadings are considered to be very significant if these are above 0.50 (Hair et al., 2010). Appropriateness of factor analysis is tested using two important measures. The first measure is Kaiser Meyer Olkin overall measure of sampling adequacy, and its value was was above 0.50 which falls within the acceptable limit and was also significant at 1 per cent level of significance as p (0.001). The other measure is Bartlett s test of sphericity, and its value was significant at 1 per cent level of significance as p (0.005). This measure indicates a highly significant correlation among the items of the constructs in the survey. 10.

11 W. Porselvi, Dr. D.Jublee and Dr. G. Sivanesan 14. CONCLUSIONS This study explains the fundamental argument that internet banking adoption intentions are highly influenced by respondents attitude toward internet banking, and these attitudes are influenced by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The latter two are the fundamental TAM constructs of internet banking services which are further affected by social influence, awareness of banking services, Quality of internet connections and computer self efficacy. The quality of internet connection is still a major issue in many developing countries like India. The quality of internet connection and computer self efficacy among customers created a negative influence of customer trust towards perceived ease of use of technology advancement in online banking. If the management, policy makers and Government take appropriate initiatives and right strategies to develop quality of internet connection and increase computer self efficacy, the trust level of customer will increase, which will directly change the right attitude towards intention to use online banking and use intention to adopt online banking technologies and innovations.
