Acceptance and use of data visualization technologies in miningshort interval control systems (SIC)
Abstract
This study examines the impact of miners' performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influenceand facilitating conditions on digital visualization short interval control systems adoption. We propose aset of four hypotheses adapted from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT).Data from a survey of underground miners was analyzed to validate our proposed hypotheses. Our studyfound that Performance Expectancy does not affect Digital Visualization SIC Adoption, while EffortExpectancy positively impacts user adoption. This research contributes to the emerging literature on theadoption and use of data analytics as a capability that allows individual users in various industries to driveinsights. The study presents some constructs from the UTAUT model and tests a theory on the influenceof performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, specifically focusing on the mining industry context.
