Determinants of Collaborative Robot Adoption Intention in Manufacturing SMEs
중소 제조기업 협동로봇 도입 의도 결정 요인
This study examines the determinants of collaborative robot adoption intention in small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It investigates how relative advantage, safety, top management support, government support, and labor shortage influence perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risk, and adoption intention. Survey data from 273 employees and managers in Korean manufacturing SMEs were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results show that perceived usefulness has the strongest effect on adoption intention, while safety reduces perceived risk and enhances both perceived ease of use and usefulness. Perceived ease of use and perceived risk do not significantly affect adoption intention directly. These findings indicate that collaborative robot adoption is driven primarily by practical usefulness, supported by safety assurance, managerial support, and favorable environmental conditions.
