This paper aims to compare similarities in the usage of two frequently used theories of IS/IT acceptance, namely the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The bibliometric and citation analysis presented in this paper identifies landmarks associated with articles, authors and most frequently used keywords from citation data pertain...

The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) is a little over a decade old and has been used extensively in information systems (IS) and other fields, as the large number of citations to the original paper that introduced the theory evidences. In this paper, we review and synthesize the IS literature on UTAUT from September 2003 until December 2014, perform a theoretical analy...

Electronic Government, also known as eGovernment, is a convenient way for citizens to access eservices and to conduct business with the government using the Internet. It saves citizens and the government both time and money. This study examined adoption of e-Government supply side by looking at the UTAUT as a model of technology acceptance. Furthermore, specific variables that were proposed to ...

This study integrated the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and the four stages of Kolb’s learning style—concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conception, and active experimentation—to investigate the factors affecting students’ behavioral intention to use a virtual reality headset (VRH) in learning. The research model, constructed using structural equat...

Prior research has developed a numbers of models for examining the acceptance and use of technology. This paper extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) beyond the established demographic and contextual variables. Building upon research from social psychology and technology adoption, our proposed model incorporates three constructs into UTAUT: information privacy c...

We assess within-study invariance of key UTAUT scales considering a total of six respondent group characteristics: five variables pertaining to users’ two technology engagement facets (prior technology knowledge and technology usage pattern) and one variable pertaining to their gender. Data collected from 250 respondents about their perceptions and usage of online blogs were analyzed to test si...

Purpose – This research aims to integrate the unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology (UTAUT) with task technology fit to explain users’ behavioral intention of using library mobile applications in university libraries. Design/methodology/approach – By integrating the unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology (UTAUT) and the moderator of task-technology fit, this researc...

In understanding how active and blended learning approaches with learning technologies engagement in undergraduate education, current research models tend to undermine the effect of learners’ variations, particularly regarding their styles and approaches to learning, on intention and use of learning technologies. This study contributes to further examine a working model for learning outcomes in...

Electronic government (e-government) initiatives are in their early stages in many developing countries and faced with various issues pertaining to their implementation of e-government services. Like many other developing countries, the e-government initiative in the state of Qatar has faced a number of challenges since its inception in 2000. This study utilises the Unified Theory of Acceptance...
