Understanding it adoption decisions in small business: integrating current theories
Using a "combine and conquer" strategy with the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the technology acceptance model (TAM), we applied a series of loosely to tightly integrated models to the IT adoption decisions of small business executives regarding a web site. With application of structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques, we found that there were progressive improvements in fit as the models become more fully integrated. The results indicate that a "Collected" model representing the underlying categories of cognitions from the TPB and the TAM provided a better fit than either the TAM or the TPB alone.
Acceptance and adoption of the innovative use of smartphone
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate human motivations affecting an adoption decision for smartphone among medical doctors and nurses.Design/methodology/approach – This study investigates smartphone users' perception based on users' perceived adoption under the self‐efficacy, technology acceptance model (TAM) and innovation attributes leading to an adoption attitude under innovation diffusion theory by providing research constructs for the domain of medical doctors and nurses, testing them with reliability and validity, and demonstrating their distinctiveness with hypothesis testing.Findings – The results indicate that behavioral intention to use was largely influenced by perceived usefulness (PU) and attitude toward using smartphone. PU and perceived ease of use positively determine attitude toward using smartphone.Research limitations/implications – For researchers, this study shows the possible and valuable adaptation of TAM constructs into the smartphone acceptance of doctors and nurs...
