Going Beyond TAM to Predict E-Mail Use in Eastern Europe: A Focus on the Slovak Republic

چکیده
Much research in the last two decades has investigated the acceptance and use of information technology in North America. In fact, many studies have investigated a range of IT applications, including email, where the application is readily available. However, what about areas of the world where these technologies are not readily available? Does TAM still hold? Is it enough to predict email use? This study explores the TAM model in a developing country in Eastern Europe, Slovak Republic, and attempts to look at factors other than the technology that could impede use.
