To further extract the value potential of complex IT, this study investigates employee users’ innovate with IT (IwIT), which is a post-acceptance behavior that refers to individual users’ applying IT in nove...

Mobile Learning (m-learning) is quickly spreading in many regions of the world. However, research addressing the driving factors for m-learning adoption is lacking. This study proposes a revised TAM by integrating perceived long-term usefulness and personal innovativeness. The adoption model was found to explain 60.8 percent of m-learning intentions based on 209 completed questionnaires. Percei...
