shows that the perception of app’s and providers’ reputations influences both interpersonal and
institutional trust. Privacy sensitivity, as expected, shows a significantly negative influence on
trust in privacy ergo the institutional trust. Hence, these two factors appear to be the main direct
determinants of trust itself.
Regarding the remaining external factors, technical affinity and competence show a significantly
positive influence on the perceived ease of use, a result that is intuitive. Perceived control has
the same kind of influence both on the PEOU as well as the perceived usefulness.
Besides these intuitive results, there are also weakly significant influences that lack contentual
explanation: Negative experience with apps for example shows a counterintuitively positive
effect on PU while PEOU shows a negative effect on the intention to change behaviour. Although
only being significant on a 10% level, we mention these results as an indicator for possible
needs of further qualitative research following our study that could explain these phenomena.
Regarding all results, we see various opportunities for future research based on our findings.
Currently, these results are being used by us for a follow up study. The aim of that study is to
identify tangible modes of governance for complex traffic systems. To govern these systems, it
is key to know how recommendations to change behaviour lead to users’ factual action.
