Abstract

In developing this model, this research draws on a range of theories from existing research on environmental behavior, adoption, motivation psychology, risk, and smart meters in general. Therefore, this chapter is structured according to the different theoretical lenses considered in this study. First, an overview of adoption studies in the IS area is given. This is followed by an overview of the concept of incentives and motivations, emphasizing the work of Malhotra et al. (Journal of Management Information Systems 25:267–300, 2008) in particular. Third, literature on environmental behavior is reviewed, explaining reasons why individuals act environmentally sustainable. Fourth, the role of risk in adoption settings is explained and different types of risks are outlined. Finally, a short summary of variables related to SMT is given. In this subchapter findings out of different studies about energy conservation as well as the results of discussions within a superregional German energy supplier are outlined.
