EXTENDING THE TASK-TECHNOLOGY FIT MODEL WITH SELF-EFFICACY CONSTRUCTS

MIS researchers have developed a number of models for studying the software utilization choices of end users, including the Task-Technology Fit Model and the Technology Acceptance Model. We are exploring the similarities and differences among these models with a goal of developing combined models with more explanatory power. This paper proposes a model that extends the task-technology fit model with a computer self-efficacy construct.
