Abstract
Numerous studies have delved into understanding perception and acceptance behavior, yet research in manufacturing or production industries remains somewhat constrained. This study zeroes in on the factors influencing employees embrace of new technology and their perceptions and acceptance of innovation within this context. Specifically, it seeks to gauge how internal (such as organizational support, incentives, perceived usefulness, innovativeness, experience, and self-image) and external factors (like engagement) impact semiconductor employees perception of using new equipment and subsequently their acceptance behavior. Employing regression analysis, the study explores the interplay between these factors and employees perceptions of new technology, shedding light on how these perceptions shape their acceptance behavior. The findings underscore the significance of emphasizing organizational support, incentives, and particularly, fostering a sense of engagement to cultivate a positive perception of new technologies, thereby facilitating their seamless integration, and ensuring success.
