q3 · i? · associational · r?
Covariance-based SEM study of 349 Malaysian Gen Z university students using an extended UTAUT questionnaire; the article reports that "Behavioural Intention (BI) is influenced by SE, PT, and Perceived Expectancy (PE)". No standardised path coefficients are printed in the provided text, so no effect size is reported.
"Behavioural Intention (BI) is influenced by SE, PT, and Perceived Expectancy (PE), with a diminishing role of Social Influence (SI), suggesting a more individualistic viewpoint among Gen Z"
