Abstract | This study explored the extent to which the antecedents (psychological anxiety, behavioural anxiety, need for virtual comfort and security, and need for disconnectedness) impact smartphone usage while traveling, and the extent to which smartphone usage impacts travel efficacy and experience. Structural equation modelling was employed to analyse the data collected through a structured questionnaire from 227 Indian Millennials. The findings suggest that the need for virtual comfort & security and behavioural anxiety positive influence smartphone use while traveling, while psychological anxiety, and need for disconnectedness were found to have no significant impact. Further, smartphone use while traveling was found to have a strong impact on the travel efficacy and experience of users. |
