This paper presents a novel acceptance model for scenarios in which people make use of mobile devices for leisure purposes. The use of mobile devices has such a dominant leisure component that user attitudes towards mobile adoption are strongly determined. Since hedonic aspects play a key role in mobile adoption, they are introduced through the constructs in the proposed Technology Acceptance M...

As organizations are adopting new structures such as the networked organization and the virtual organization, groupware is increasingly being used as a way of implementing these new organizational forms. Although user acceptance of groupware technology by the intended users is a prerequisite for realizing its full potential in organizations, there is no clear understanding about why people acce...

In previous studies, the technology acceptance model (TAM) [1] has been widely used by information technology researchers to gain a better understanding of information technology (IT) adoption and its use in organizations. While TAM has been applied and tested in academic and corporate settings, involving students, business managers, clerical and administrative types as subjects, few studies ha...

This study empirically tests the applicability of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to application development outsourcing decision making. Advances to TAM posit that perceived usefulness and ease of use mediate the effects of other variables on users’ attitudes towards a technology. The model tested in this study suggests that perceived usefulness and ease of use of outsourcing mediate the...

Based on self-determination theory (SDT), this study proposed an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of e-learning service. In the proposed model perceived usefulness, perceived playfulness and perceived ease of use are predicted to be influenced by perceived autonomy support, perceived competence and perceived relatedness. Although TAM has received fairly extensive attent...

Researchers are confronted with a choice among models to explain Web acceptance and usage. Therefore, as Venkatesh et al. (2003) suggest, there is a need for a review and synthesis in order to progress toward a unified view of Web acceptance and usage. In this situation of development, a theoretical model based on technology acceptance (TAM) and flow, is proposed to describe the extrinsic and i...

In general, the study of recommender systems emphasizes the efficiency of techniques to provide accurate recommendations rather than factors influencing users’ acceptance of the system; however, accuracy alone cannot account for users’ satisfying experience. Bearing in mind this gap in the research, we apply the technology acceptance model (TAM) to evaluate user acceptance of a recommender syst...

Individual behavior in technology adoption can be predicted by perception and belief. Implementing TAM, this study aims to analyze the behavioral teaching staff using Google Apps for online learning. This examined effect of perceived usefulness, ease use, user training support on intention use technology. We analyzed 108 samples SPSS Process Model 4 15 examine mediation moderated effect. Our re...

The purpose of this study is to assess and test the factors that influence user adoption of e-Government services: the Electronic Approval System (EAS). This study uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the extended TAM (TAM2), the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI), and trust to build a parsimonious yet comprehensive model of factors that influence user acceptance of the EAS. We collected data...

Information Systems (IS) research on technology acceptance has mainly explored user acceptance at the individual level, with the prominent framework being the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Research involving TAM and other similar frameworks has tended to be user-centric with primary focus on individual attributes that could influence user perceptions towards the technology. This study focu...
