Research on farmers’ willingness to grow high-quality rice based on the TAM-TPB model: evidence from China by Bin Zhang, Yingshu Cai, Zhen Hu, Ning Xie, Jianfu Li, Jianfu Li

“…There are few studies to explore how professional grain farmers induce the planting intention of high-quality rice from the level of subjective psychological mechanism.MethodsBased on the Technology Acceptance Model-Planning Behavior Theoretical Framework (TAM-TPB), we used the survey data of 660 professional grain farmers in Jiangxi Province, China, and used the structural equation model to explore the influencing factors of the willingness of professional grain farmers to plant high-quality rice, and combined with the multi-group analysis method, we further discussed the differences between different groups.Results and discussionThe results indicate that the willingness of occupational grain farmers to cultivate high-quality rice is primarily positively influenced by perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, behavioral attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, with perceived behavioral control having the most significant impact, followed by perceived usefulness. …”
