In a recent paper, Venkatesh et al. (2003) examine a series of models that explain or predict user acceptance of information technology. These models included the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis et al., 1989), Computer Self Efficacy (Compeau and Higgins, 1995) and other models of user behavior, intention, or affect. Their study combined these models to form a Unified Model, which the authors...

With the growing demand for digital information in health care, the electronic medical record (EMR) represents the foundation of health information technology. It is essential, however, in an industry still largely dominated by paper-based records, that such systems be accepted and used. This research evaluates registered nurses’, certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants’ acceptan...

The patronage of e-government services (demand side of e-government) is vital to the successful implementation of egovernment initiatives. The purpose of this study is to explore the predictors determining the willingness of African students in China to adopt and use e-government services. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) will be used as the theoretical foundation ...

This study investigates the factors that influence accounting information systems (AIS) adoption among accountants. Drawing on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), the task–technology fit (TTF) model and the institutional theory, we developed a research model for AIS adoption by accountants. Data was collected from 216 accountants and multiple linear regression was em...

The e-readers, devices designed primarily for reading electronic books (e-books) are a recent innovation that is being spread rapidly. Studies on the factors that affecting its adoption are scarce. The descriptive study tests empirically the new version of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT 2), on the behavioral intention to use e-readers. Data collection was done thr...

When it comes to mobile communication technology, China is the largest market in the world. However, due to its rapidly changing economic environment causing disparities between geographical regions, it presents unique marketing problems. In order to attain a better understanding of China as a potentially highly valuable mobile communication technology market, we conducted a survey of 221 Chine...

در این مقاله یک مدل ریاضی برای مسئله سیستم تولیدی همکارانه ساخت بر اساس سفارش با رعایت انصاف تخصیص بار‌های تولید طراحی شده است. اهداف اصلی مدل، کمینه‌سازی هزینه‌‌های کل و حداکثر استفاده از منابع به‌منظور عادلانه شرایط عدم­قطعیت کنترل پارامتر‌های غیرقطعی روش برنامه‌ریزی فازی ‌شده نتایج نشان می‌دهد افزایش نرخ عدم‌قطعیت، می­یابد. ازآنجاکه ظرفیت کارخانه‌ها ثابت است، مقدار تقاضا، هر کارخانه نیز می­ی...

IoT is considered a next generation digital revolution to connect things with an embedded system to the Internet. The IoT technology is reshaping how people access information; IoT products and services will be a significant part of consumer infrastructure of smart retailing, smart homes, and smart cities, which will change consumers’ lives and their behaviors (Dutton, 2014; Brody and Pureswara...

در این پژوهش سعی می‌­شود مدلی برای شبیه‌­سازی چرخه عمر صنعت برق با استفاده از شبیه‌سازی عامل­بنیان ارائه شود، مدل، 5 عامل استخراج شد و شبیه­‌سازی به کمک نرم‌افزار Anylogic صورت پذیرفت. بهینه‌­سازی مدل چهار سناریو نظر خبرگان شد. سناریوی نخست، جذابیت نیروگاه گازی سیکل ترکیبی کاهش یافت بر دو دیگر افزوده نتیجه افزایش تولید آبی است که توجه کمبود منابع کشور به‌صرفه نیست. دوم ورود یک فناوری جدید میزان...
