Introduction
   Question: Why do people accept or reject technology?
   Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
       Geared specifically toward information technology
       Strong reliability and validity of instruments
       Extensive research: 147 articles between 1990 and 2003
       Good example of how a model is extended and applied
   Purpose:
       To examine the development, extension, and application of TAM
        in order to identify potential areas of research for future study
       To provide IS educators with a foundation for guiding students in
        regard to the TAM literature
       To provide a starting point for evaluating educational technologies
       To serve as a general reference for those interested in technology
        acceptance

                                  ISECON 2006
Methodology
   Keyword search of ABI Inform, Academic Search
    Premier, and IEEE Express

   Criteria:
       Extension of Legris, Ingham, and Collerette (2003)
           Prior analysis of articles from 1980 to 2001
           Current analysis of articles from 2001 to 2005
       Compared articles utilizing a quantitative research method
           PLS, LISREL, path or regression analysis
       Broader range of journals than Legris et al. (2003)
           Prior analysis included only six IT related journals

   Articles grouped on logical categories chosen by the
    author (Strauss & Corbin, 1998)

                   ISECON 2006
Development: TAM (Original)


 Perceived
 Usefulness

               Attitude             Intention to          Usage
                                        Use              Behavior
  Perceived
 Ease of Use
                Perceived ease of use – “the degree to which a person
                believes that using a particular system would be free of
Davis (1989)    effort” (Davis, 1989, p. 320)

                Perceived usefulness – “the degree to which a person
                believes that using a particular system would enhance
                his or her job performance” (p. 320)


                           ISECON 2006
Development: TAM (Original)
   Study 1
       Technology: PROFS electronic mail and XEDIT editor
       Sample Size: 120 users employed by IBM
   Study 2
       Technology: Chart-Master and Pendraw
       Sample Size: 40 MBA students
   Overall Findings:
       Perceived Usefulness significant determinant of Usage
       Perceived Ease of Use significant determinant of Usage
       Effect of Perceived Usefulness significantly greater than Perceived
        Ease of Use
       Attitude does not fully mediate effect of Perceived Usefulness and
        Perceived Ease of Use on Behavior
       Perceived Ease of Use as an antecedent of Perceived Usefulness

                                  ISECON 2006
Development: TAM (Parsimonious)
   Study (Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw, 1989)
       Technology: WriteOne, word processor
       Sample Size: 107 MBA students
   Overall Findings
       Perceived Usefulness strong significant determinant of Usage
       Perceived Ease of Use significant determinant of Usage, but
        significantly weaker than Perceived Usefulness
       Attitude only partially mediated effects of Perceived Usefulness
        and Perceived Ease of Use on Usage

Research Potential
   Mixed results of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of
    Use as the stronger determinant
       Ten studies supported Perceived Usefulness
       Six studies supported Perceived Ease of Use
       How does the type of technology of affect the results?

   Volitional versus mandatory use environments
       Fifteen studies conducted in volitional environments
       Two studies conducted in mandatory environments
       How does the environment affect the results?

   The role of Attitude
       Seven studies indicated Attitude as a direct determinant
       Two studies indicated Attitude is not a direct determinant
       Does attitude play a greater role than previously thought?

  • 1. Development, Extension, and Application: A Review of the Technology Acceptance Model Jason Sharp Computer Information Systems Tarleton State University Stephenville, Texas, USA jsharp@tarleton.edu ISECON 2006
  • 2. Introduction  Question: Why do people accept or reject technology?  Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)  Geared specifically toward information technology  Strong reliability and validity of instruments  Extensive research: 147 articles between 1990 and 2003  Good example of how a model is extended and applied  Purpose:  To examine the development, extension, and application of TAM in order to identify potential areas of research for future study  To provide IS educators with a foundation for guiding students in regard to the TAM literature  To provide a starting point for evaluating educational technologies  To serve as a general reference for those interested in technology acceptance ISECON 2006
  • 3. Methodology  Keyword search of ABI Inform, Academic Search Premier, and IEEE Express  Criteria:  Extension of Legris, Ingham, and Collerette (2003)  Prior analysis of articles from 1980 to 2001  Current analysis of articles from 2001 to 2005  Compared articles utilizing a quantitative research method  PLS, LISREL, path or regression analysis  Broader range of journals than Legris et al. (2003)  Prior analysis included only six IT related journals  Articles grouped on logical categories chosen by the author (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) ISECON 2006
  • 4. A Review of the Technology Acceptance Model Development ISECON 2006
  • 5. Development: TAM (Original) Perceived Usefulness Attitude Intention to Usage Use Behavior Perceived Ease of Use Perceived ease of use – “the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would be free of Davis (1989) effort” (Davis, 1989, p. 320) Perceived usefulness – “the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her job performance” (p. 320) ISECON 2006
  • 6. Development: TAM (Original)  Study 1  Technology: PROFS electronic mail and XEDIT editor  Sample Size: 120 users employed by IBM  Study 2  Technology: Chart-Master and Pendraw  Sample Size: 40 MBA students  Overall Findings:  Perceived Usefulness significant determinant of Usage  Perceived Ease of Use significant determinant of Usage  Effect of Perceived Usefulness significantly greater than Perceived Ease of Use  Attitude does not fully mediate effect of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use on Behavior  Perceived Ease of Use as an antecedent of Perceived Usefulness ISECON 2006
  • 7. Development: TAM (Parsimonious)  Study (Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw, 1989)  Technology: WriteOne, word processor  Sample Size: 107 MBA students  Overall Findings  Perceived Usefulness strong significant determinant of Usage  Perceived Ease of Use significant determinant of Usage, but significantly weaker than Perceived Usefulness  Attitude only partially mediated effects of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use on Usage ISECON 2006
  • 8. Development: TAM (Parsimonious) Perceived Usefulness Intention to Usage Use Behavior Perceived Ease of Use Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw (1989) ISECON 2006

  • 10. Development: TAM2  Subjective Norm – influence of others on user’s decision to use or not use  Image – maintaining a favorable standing  Job Relevance – degree to which the target system is applicable  Output Quality – how well the system performs tasks  Result Demonstrability – tangible results  Experience – with the system  Voluntariness – perception of voluntary/mandatory use ISECON 2006
  • 11. Development: TAM2  Study 1 (voluntary):  Technology: Proprietary system  Sample Size: 38 floor supervisors  Study 2 (voluntary):  Technology: Migration to Windows-based environment  Sample Size: 39 personal financial services employees  Study 3 (mandatory):  Technology: Windows-based account management system  Sample Size: 43 accounting firm services employees  Study 4 (mandatory):  Technology: Stock portfolio analysis system  Sample Size: 36 investment banking employees ISECON 2006
  • 12. Development: TAM2 Experience Voluntariness Subjective Norm Image Perceived Usefulness Job Intention to Usage Relevance Use Behavior Perceived Output Ease of Use Quality Venkatesh and Davis (2000) Result Demonstrability ISECON 2006
  • 13. Development: Antecedents of Perceived Ease of Use Perceived Computer Usefulness Self-Efficacy Intention to Usage Use Behavior Objective Perceived Usability Ease of Use Computer Self-efficacy – how does the user feel about their Direct ability to use technology Experience Objective Usability – objective system measures, e.g., keystroke Venkatesh and Davis (1996) model, expert to novice performance comparison ISECON 2006
  • 14. Development: Antecedents of Perceived Ease of Use  Study 1:  Technology: Chartmaster and Pendraw  Sample Size: 40 MBA students  Study 2:  Technology: WordPerfect and Lotus  Sample Size: 36 undergraduate students  Study 3:  Pine (electronic mail) and Gopher (information access)  Sample Size: 32 part-time MBA students  Overall Findings  Before hands-on experience, Computer Self-efficacy was a significant determinant of Perceive Ease of Use, Objective Usability was not  After direct experience, both Computer self-efficacy and Objective Usability were significant determinants of Perceived Ease of Use ISECON 2006
  • 15. Development: Antecedents Revised Perception of External Control - availability of support staff Computer Computer Anxiety – apprehension or fear Self-Efficacy Computer Playfulness – desire to explore and play Perceived Enjoyment – enjoyable apart from performance Perception of consequences External Control Perceived Computer Usefulness Anxiety Intention to Usage Use Behavior Computer Playfulness Perceived Ease of Use Perceived Enjoyment Venkatesh (2000) Objective Usability ISECON 2006
  • 16. Development: Antecedents of Perceived Ease of Use Three studies measured three times over three months  Study 1:  Technology: Interactive online help desk system  Sample Size: 58 retail electronic store employees  Study 2:  Technology: Multimedia system for property management  Sample Size: 145 real estate agency employees  Study 3:  Technology: Migration to PC-based environment  Sample Size: 43 financial services employees  Pooled Results  T1: Perceived Enjoyment and Objective Usability not significant  T2: All antecedents significant  T3: Computer Playfulness not significant ISECON 2006
