Data were collected from 400 respondents randomly through a questionnaire-based survey. SPSS and AMOS were used to analyze and gather results. This study suggests overall life satisfaction as an operationalized dependent variable to measure a traveler\u2019s sense of satisfaction, a traveler\u2019s involvement, and AR adoption of necessary transportation apps is constructed as an independent variable. The model was proposed to explore the impacts of travel satisfaction on overall life satisfaction. The model focused on the role of traveling involvement when it is considered a first variable to explore the impact of travel satisfaction on the overall quality of life. Furthermore, AR technology adoption behavior is where people use traveling apps before and during traveling to fulfill travel needs, obtain details about locations, and make proper arrangements, as well as other facilities. Two significant roles of transportation apps and travelers\u2019 involvement in travel-satisfaction development and overall life satisfaction were found; variables had a positive effect on travel satisfaction and life satisfaction. The results also revealed that AR mobile travel applications with traveler involvement could help improve individual overseas residents\u2019 travel satisfaction; travel satisfaction provides more feelings of satisfaction with life in South Korea.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bdcc6030080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]],"date-time":"2022-07-25T21:20:59Z","timestamp":1658784059000},"page":"80","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["How Does AR Technology Adoption and Involvement Behavior Affect Overseas Residents\u2019 Life Satisfaction?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6862-0474","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nargis","family":"Dewan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Administration, Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Gumi 39177, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0118-7076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Billal","family":"Hossain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School of Economic and Regional Sciences, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, 2100 Godollo, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gwi-Gon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Administration, Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Gumi 39177, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Dunay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Economic Sciences, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, 2100 Godollo, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Csaba","family":"B\u00e1lint Ill\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Economic Sciences, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, 2100 Godollo, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"170","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tra.2017.09.024","article-title":"How does travel affect emotional well-being and life satisfaction?","volume":"106","author":"Friman","year":"2017","journal-title":"Transp.
