Abstract
Abstract: The increasing use of the Maxim ride-hailing application in Manokwari highlights the need to understand the factors influencing user acceptance and satisfaction. However, the growing number of users does not necessarily reflect a high level of technology acceptance and user satisfaction. This study aims to examine the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and habit on behavioral intention, as well as the effect of behavioral intention on user satisfaction among Maxim users in Manokwari. A quantitative approach based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires using a purposive sampling technique from 156 valid respondents and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that performance expectancy (β = 0.343, p < 0.001), effort expectancy (β = 0.191, p = 0.002), facilitating conditions (β = 0.142, p = 0.029), and habit (β = 0.359, p < 0.001) positively and significantly influence behavioral intention. Furthermore, behavioral intention positively and significantly affects user satisfaction (β = 0.771, p < 0.001). These findings confirm the applicability of the UTAUT2 model and provide practical insights for Maxim management and application developers to improve service quality and user satisfaction. Keywords: behavioral intention; effort expectancy; facilitating conditions; habit; performance expectancy; user satisfaction. Abstrak: Meningkatnya penggunaan aplikasi transportasi daring Maxim di Manokwari mendorong perlunya memahami faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penerimaan teknologi dan kepuasan pengguna. Namun, peningkatan jumlah pengguna belum tentu mencerminkan tingginya tingkat penerimaan teknologi dan kepuasan pengguna. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, dan habit terhadap behavioral intention, serta pengaruh behavioral intention terhadap user satisfaction pada pengguna aplikasi Maxim di Manokwari. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif berdasarkan model Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2). Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner menggunakan teknik purposive sampling terhadap 156 responden dan dianalisis menggunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) dengan SmartPLS 4.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa performance expectancy (β = 0,343; p < 0,001), effort expectancy (β = 0,191; p = 0,002), facilitating conditions (β = 0,142; p = 0,029), dan habit (β = 0,359; p < 0,001) berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap behavioral intention. Selanjutnya, behavioral intention berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap user satisfaction (β = 0,771; p < 0,001). Temuan ini menegaskan penerapan model UTAUT2 serta memberikan masukan bagi manajemen Maxim dan pengembang aplikasi untuk meningkatkan kualitas layanan dan kepuasan pengguna. Kata kunci: behavioral intention; effort expectancy; facilitating conditions; habit; performance expectancy; user satisfaction.
