The objective of this study was to examine the determinants that impact the inclination of Generation Z individuals to use QR Pay in the context of Vietnam following the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to gather the necessary data, this study conducted a survey among a sample of 415 individuals who were customers of the relevant service or product. The survey was conducted using the Google Forms platform from September 2022 to January 2023, employing a convenience sampling approach. This paper constructed a research model utilizing the technology acceptance model (TAM) and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) frameworks. Then, it analyzed the data using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Principal findings indicate that attitude, COVID-19 impact, personal innovativeness, perceived compatibility, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and social influence are significant determinants of Vietnamese Gen Z’s intention to adopt QR Pay. This study provides valuable insights into the factors affecting Gen Z customers’ behavior toward technology adoption in Vietnam under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings can benefit business managers and policymakers, as they can better understand the factors that influence customers’ technology adoption and develop effective strategies to enhance customers’ acceptance of technology.
