The relevant data were collected through questionnaires consisting 2 scales tagged technology adoption scale and members predilection scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with the aid of SPSS. The result of the analyses revealed a positive and significant effect of cooperative membership on technology adoption.
