Abstract

For the first time in Brazil, an article presents an assessment of the technology employed in the provision of the e-hailing sharing economy service from the perspective of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2), developed by Venkatesh et al. (2012). It aims at providing an understanding of the factors that predict the behavioural intention of the service. In order to achieve this goal, 311 users of the Uber service in Brazil were interviewed for a survey. Uber, as an e-hailing service, enjoys significant use in Brazil and worldwide. The analysis of the data was done by means of structural equation modelling methods. The results pointed out that the factors price value, performance expectancy and habit were the most relevant aspects influencing the customer's choice of e-hailing.
