Do smart homes influence individual performance?

Abstract

The penetration of smart home devices in people’s homes have increased and multiple studies have been done regarding its health, financial and environmental benefits. Given the lack of studies on the psychological and wellbeing benefits, we study if there is an influence of the use of these devices on individual performance, while also studying the main factors influencing the perceived value of this technology. The results of 175 users of smart home devices, show usefulness, enjoyment and perceived fee to be the main dimensions involved in the perceived value of this technology, while its use positively effects individual performance.
