Abstract

Contact tracing apps for the COVID-19 have been broadly developed worldwide and Indonesia is no exception. The Indonesian application is called PeduliLindungi. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understading of the public’s intention to use such applications by incorporating trust, trust in government, privacy concerns, and social influence variables as an extension to the technology acceptance model (TAM). A questionnaire was distributed online through social media to attain 371 participants among Indonesian inhabitants based on the convenience sampling method. Descriptive analysis and covariance-based structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that intention was predicted well by trust, attitude, and social influence. Furthermore, trust in government played a role in predicting the application’s trustworthiness. The government and decision-makers should consider this observation in promoting the PeduliLindungi application, as it could increase its effectiveness.
