We develop a conceptual model to investigate the effects and path relationships of multiple constructs related to technology adoption, data security, morality, social influence, trust, and COVID-19 to predict behavioral intentions and actual usage behavior. We use structural equation modelling with the partial least squares method and identify effort expectancy, social influence, prevailing opinions on COVID-19 and the CWA, as well as moral and ethical considerations as the most influential predictors. We are able to explain moderate to high amounts of variance with our model.
