Abstract:

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are globally recognized for their innovative infrastructure delivery and public services; however, the factors influencing their adoption in China remain unexplored. This study investigates PPPs using the technology acceptance model (TAM). Surveying 353 regional civil servants reveals a direct positive impact of complexity on PPP policy. Additionally, policy positively correlates with perceived usefulness and ease of use, mediated by relative advantage, belief in benefits, and facilitating conditions. Regional disparities exist, with notable differences in complexity, perceived ease of use, and usage intention. These findings contribute to the PPP literature and offer practical insights for policymakers regarding sustainable PPP coordination.
