Paylater INTRODUCTION echnological developments have a major impact on business and online transactions, especially digital Digital transactions are conducted electronically through an internet-connected computer or mobile device. The term is becoming more commonly used as e-commerce and digital financial services become more popular. These transactions include online payments for goods/services, fund transfers, bill payments, and more through e-commerce/online banking platforms. The main advantage of digital transactions is the ease and convenience they offer, allowing customers to access products and services online from anywhere at any time without having to visit a physical store or bank . Received on 29 Dec 2023. Revised on 13 Feb 2024. Accepted and Published on 30 Jun 2024. INTL. JOURNAL ON ICT VOL. NO. JUNE 2024 For this reason, e-commerce payment systems, with the growing popularity of e-commerce, encourage entrepreneurs and consumers to choose a payment system that is safe, fast, and convenient. One of the increasingly popular payment systems in the e-commerce era is the digital paylater or payment later transaction. This transaction allows consumers to make purchases and pay later at a predetermined time. Paylater is driving sales in e-commerce and many consumers are opting for it to buy items online and pay later to get more time to accumulate money. Examples of paylater services are Kredivo. Akulaku, and Tunaiku. In its development, the concept of Paylater has become one of the popular payment methods in various transactions, including online shopping, airline ticket purchases, digital products, and more. Consumers are given paylater payment options when shopping, which gives them time to pay their bills within weeks or months after the transaction is made . According to the Research Institute of Socio-Economic Development (RISED) survey, the use of the paylater feature in Shopee is the highest with 52. 06%, followed by Gojek . 28%), Tokopedia . 35%). Traveloka . 08%), and . 23%) other applications . This shows the increasing acceptance and usage of paylater in Indonesia. Like research . , which analyzes interest in using Gopay with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Or in research . , which analyzes the acceptance and targets that will use OVO paylayer using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Based on Lowry. , et al. in 2013 to measure the level of pleasure in using the system, the HedonicMotivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM) theory was proposed. And the Hedonic-Motivation System (HMS) theory outperformed the utilitarian-motivation system (UMS) theory for more than a decade. Where UMS focuses on measuring perceived benefits. HMS measures perceived pleasure . So HMSAM is a model used to understand and analyze the factors that influence user acceptance of entertainment-based technologies or those that have entertainment value. HMSAM was developed as a development of TAM which was first developed . From the above research. HMSAM is more suitable than models such as TAM. UTAUT, or UMS because it considers pleasure and comfort for users. In the study . , it was found that analyzing the use of video on demand applications using HMSAM highlighted that factors such as perceived ease of use, control, and joy have a significant impact on user satisfaction and fulfill intrinsic needs which are hedonic needs. HMSAM recognizes that emotional factors and hedonic motivations also play an important role in technology adoption, along with well-known factors such as perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. HMSAM then calculates user satisfaction, which affects continuance intention. In HMSAM, satisfaction with using the system can be measured by how the system generates curiosity and pleasure in using the system. In addition, it is also calculated how easy it is for users to use the system . erceived ease of us. Then, how satisfied users are in using the system . , is influenced by curiosity, joy, and user control . To evaluate the assessment of the public the level of satisfaction with using digital paylater transactions using the HMSAM method, a survey will be conducted to obtain test data. II. LITERATURE REVIEW Digital transaction Digital transactions, encompassing online or electronic payments, have become a prevalent method for financial interactions, allowing users to conduct transactions without the need for cash or credit cards. Utilizing platforms such as websites, mobile applications, or specialized software, these transactions involve activities like bill payments, fund transfers, and online purchases . Key factors, including security, user-friendliness, and accessibility, contribute to the popularity of digital transactions, offering potential time and cost savings. Despite these advantages, concerns about security risks, such as data breaches and online fraud, persist, emphasizing the need for secure platforms . In Indonesia, the government and businesses actively promote the adoption of digital transactions to enhance efficiency and accessibility across various sectors, including finance, trade, and public services. The characteristics of digital transactions, conducted through electronic networks, in real-time, location-independent, with 24/7 availability, and utilizing security technologies, ensure their efficiency, convenience, and security . These characteristics contribute to the numerous advantages of MUHAMMAD ZAHWAN LATIF ET AL. ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE USE OF DIGITAL PAYLATER TRANSACTIONS USING THE HEDONIC MOTIVATION. digital transactions, including convenience, real-time efficiency, lower costs, enhanced security, userfriendliness, 24/7 availability, and dedicated customer support, making them a preferred and beneficial choice for users. Paylater Paylater, a term referring to online credit services without the need for credit cards or cash loans, has gained popularity in various sectors, initially within the e-commerce market and now expanding to areas such as food and beverage and airline ticket purchases. Users of paylater services, offered by fintech companies like Gopay. Shopee. OVO. Kredivo. Akulaku, and Kredit Pintar in Indonesia, can make online or offline purchases and defer payment within a specified period, with some platforms allowing installment options . While the convenience and speed of transactions are primary advantages, users enjoy flexibility in payment terms, avoiding the need for collateral, and access to enticing discounts and promotions. However, the use of paylater is not without risks. Users face the burden of high interest rates, potential late payment fees, and the risk of accumulating excessive debt if not managed carefully. Discipline and financial responsibility are crucial to avoiding these risks. Additionally, there's a potential threat of identity theft and online fraud, emphasizing the importance of cautious data sharing and choosing reputable paylater services to protect users from significant financial losses . Hedonic motivation Hedonic motivation, as outlined by Utami . , refers to the inclination of individuals to derive pleasure or emotional satisfaction from their activities, especially evident in the joy of shopping irrespective of the functional benefits of purchased products. In the context of technology use, hedonic motivation extends to users seeking enjoyable experiences from their interactions with technology. This motivation is categorized into three types: Affiliation, associated with the pleasure derived from specific activities. Escapism, offering a refreshing break from routine activities and novelty, emphasizing the pursuit of novelty and new experiences. Its influence on technology acceptance is significant, impacting user perceptions of technology's usefulness and relative usefulness in both TAM and UTAUT frameworks. Research findings, exemplified by studies such as . , demonstrate that hedonic motivation plays a crucial role in influencing user intentions to adopt technology, with factors like enjoyment/affiliation and social enhancement being key contributors. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions of hedonic motivation is essential for grasping its impact on shaping user attitudes and behaviors in the realm of technology adoption. Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM) The Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM), introduced by Lowry and colleagues in 2013, represents a noteworthy advancement in predicting the adoption of Hedonic Motivation Systems (HMS). Going beyond existing models. HMSAM integrates intrinsic motivational factors and elucidates the relationship between motivation and traditional technology acceptance factors. This study found that the factors that encourage the use of HMS are Control. Curiosity. Joy, and Immersion in the game as the object under study . HMSAM stands out as a technology adoption model that seeks to amalgamate hedonic and motivational factors in predicting technology adoption behavior. It posits that technology adoption behavior is not solely influenced by instrumental factors related to technology's utility and ease of use but is also shaped by hedonic factors linked to user satisfaction and motivation compelling users to embrace technology. The model's characteristics include its consideration of emotional and motivational factors, integration of hedonic aspects emphasizing pleasure in system use, accounting for users' previous experiences with similar systems or technologies, emphasizing the importance of user-system interaction, and identifying pivotal factors such as user trust, system usability, hedonic needs, and user motivation. The comprehensive HMSAM thus serves as a valuable framework for understanding the complex interplay of emotional, hedonic, and motivational elements in technology adoption. INTL. JOURNAL ON ICT VOL.

These findings confirm a positive and significant influence of paylater users' CUR on digital transaction SAT. Higher CUR levels correspond to increased SAT, especially when expectations are met (P-value < 0. T-statistic > 1. , validating the hypothesis. The F Square value of 0. indicates a minor influence of Curiosity on Satisfaction in the model structure, aligning with existing research MUHAMMAD ZAHWAN LATIF ET AL. ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE USE OF DIGITAL PAYLATER TRANSACTIONS USING THE HEDONIC MOTIVATION. , . In the context of increasing user curiosity regarding paylater services, user engagement through competitions or promotional events can be an effective strategy. This is because competitions and promotional events have the potential to capture users' attention and encourage active participation. When users feel intrigued about the service they are using, they are more likely to be actively engaged and exploratory. H7: Satisfaction (SAT) has a positive effect on Continuance Intention (CI) The Structural Model analysis reveals a path coefficient value of 0. 418, surpassing the 0. 1 threshold, with a P-value of 0. 000 and a T-test of 8. These findings affirm a positive and significant influence of paylater users' SAT on their intention to continue digital transactions. Increased SAT correlates with a stronger intention to use paylater services continuously, particularly when aligned with expectations P-value < 0. T-statistic > 96, validating the hypothesis. The F Square value of 0. 212 indicates a minor influence of Satisfaction on Continuance Intention in the model structure, consistent with prior research . , . , . To facilitate user preferences, paylater services can customize offerings based on user needs and previous usage experience. Because continuance intention is influenced by user satisfaction using paylater. CONCLUSION The study, which involved 412 respondents, aimed to assess the impact of various factors on the intrinsic elements of Continuance Intention in digital payment transactions through HMSAM. The findings show that perceived ease of use significantly affects control, joy, and curiosity. User joy and curiosity have a positive impact on satisfaction, thereby influencing the intention to continue using the service, which indicates that it fulfills hedonic needs. Notably, the positive effect of perceived ease of use on user control contrasts with the insignificant impact of control on user satisfaction. Six out of seven hypotheses showed a significant and positive influence on the intention to continue using paylater digital transactions, with T-statistic values > Ttable . and P-value <0. However, the analysis revealed that user control does not have a significant impact on satisfaction, showing a path coefficient of 0. 054, below the threshold of 0. 1, with a P-value of 0. and a T-Test of 1. The F Square value of 0. 003 further confirms the negligible influence of control on satisfaction in the model structure. Based on the research. Joy, which is influenced by perceived ease of use, has fulfilled the intrinsic aspects that have a significant positive correlation with user satisfaction towards continued use. REFERENCES
