This causal and correlational study was designed to extend the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and to test its applicability to Valencia Community College (VCC) Engineering and Technology students as the target user group when investigating the factors influencing their decision to adopt and to utilize VMware as the target technology. In addition to the primary three indigenous factors: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention toward utilization, the model was also extended with enjoyment, external control, and computer self-efficacy as antecedents to perceived ease of use. In an attempt to further increase the explanatory power of the model, the Task-Technology Fit constructs (TTF) were included as antecedents to perceived usefulness. The model was also expanded with subjective norms and voluntariness to assess the degree to which social influences affect students decision for adoption and utilization. This study was conducted during the fall term of 2009, using 11 instruments: (1) VMware Tools Functions Instrument; (2) Computer Networking Tasks Characteristics Instrument; (3) Perceived Usefulness Instrument; (4) Voluntariness Instrument; (5) Subjective Norms Instrument; (6) Perceived Enjoyment Instrument; (7) Computer Self-Efficacy Instrument; (8) Perception of External Control Instrument; (9) Perceived Ease of Use Instrument; (10) Intention Instrument; and (11) a Utilization Instrument. The 11 instruments collectively contained 58 items. Additionally, a demographics instrument of six items was included to investigate the influence of age, prior experience with the technology, prior experience in computer networking, academic enrollment status, and employment status on student intentions and behavior with regard to VMware as a network virtualization technology. Data were analyzed using path analysis, regressions, and univariate analysis of variance in SPSS and AMOS for Windows. The results suggest that perceived ease of use was found to be the strongest determinant of student intention. The analysis also suggested that external control, measuring the facilitating conditions (knowledge, resources, etc) necessary for adoption was the highest predictor of perceived ease of use. Consistent with previous studies, perceived ease of use was found to be the strongest predictor of perceived usefulness followed by subjective norms as students continued to use the technology. Even though the integration of the task-technology fit construct was not helpful in explaining the variance in student perceived usefulness of the target technology, it was statistically significant in predicting student perception of ease of use. The study concluded with recommendations to investigate other factors (such as service quality and ease of implementation) that might contribute to explaining the variance in perceived ease of use as the primary driving force in influencing student decision for adoption. A recommendation was also made to modify the task-technology fit construct instruments to improve the articulation and the specificity of the task. The need for further examination of the influence of the instructor on student decision for adoption of a target technology was also emphasized.Ed.D.

New technology has changed how people do business. With rapid development of technology, it has been difficult for businesses and organizations to successfully implement technology advancements. This problem has spurred research in the area of technology acceptance. The Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989) is a dominant theory used to explain technology use. Although many researchers have copied, expanded, and altered this model through quantitative research, making it robust, this study will further the model by using qualitative methods to explore how members understand and classify technology use. This study adds to the existing knowledge of computer-mediated communication and technology acceptance by exploring information technology use within a volunteer or not-for-profit organization (NPO). In order to offer a unique perspective to exploring how organizational members understand and adopt new technology, this study employs qualitative methodology to a topic traditionally explored through quantitative surveys and measurements. Research questions specifically consider why organizational members accept or reject new technology and how organizational membership affects technology acceptance. Using the third iteration of the technology acceptance model (TAM 3), data confirm perceived usefulness and perceived ease as determinants of technology acceptance. The influencing factors of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were also confirmed. Two new influencing factors of perceived usefulness emerged in this study: appropriateness and information overload. Also, insight into the role of age and technology adoption calls into question stereotypical misconceptions of technology use and acceptance. Overall, this study confirms and expands on research in the area of technology acceptance.

Despite significant investments in information technology in developed nations over
recent decades, concern exists over the extent to which such expenditures have produced
the intended benefits. At least part of this concern is based around the issue of whether
any information technology is accepted by its intended users. Human factors
professionals are interested in understanding the determinants of acceptance and ensuring
new designs are built and implemented so as to minimize resistance. This concern has
extended the traditional ergonomic concern with usability, or ability to use, to cover
acceptance, or willingness to use.

Full textAbstract:
In the past few years, rapid development of mobile technologies has been changing the way people approach purchasing. Using Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1986), the authors believe that IKEA’s furniture mobile application creates a certain value to its users. The study aims at examining the importance of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and compatibility dimensions of IKEA’s app and their impact on consumers’ behavioral intentions to see whether or not they lead to actual purchase. The thesis findings reveal that IKEA mobile application is not widely used. The results should have been applicable for similar companies as IKEA especially those which promote in-store app usage. However, it is not possible since the thesis contradicts the assumption of broad usage of such mobile application. The analysis of the surveys releaved gender having a role in IKEA mobile app perception as well as occupation. The analysis is also contributing by a realization that mobile technologies lead to faster decision-making, more information availability, and therefore, can create better marketing communication strategies.

In rapid advances in marketing strategies, Social Networks Marketing (SNM) is dramatically becoming an important aspect in promoting businesses. Social networks marketing has been found as one of the most effective tool used in businesses today, by most business owners in South Africa, to expand, and flourish their businesses. The explosion of Internet usage has drawn the attention of researchers towards social networks marketing. Research has shown that potential Internet users are doubtful, and indecisive to use, and accept SNM system in spite of their availability. Therefore, there is a need for researchers to identify some of the factors that determine user’s unwillingness to accept and use the system. According to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), and Perceived Usefulness (PU) are the two major constructs in determining the use and acceptance of various information systems. These beliefs may not fully explain the user’s behaviour towards newly introduced system, such as social networks marketing. Hence, this study had successfully implemented TAM to the newly proposed information system (social networks marketing system). Using TAM as a theoretical framework, the study added two new constructs “perceived credibility” and “awareness” as part of the factors influencing user’s acceptance of social networks marketing. The purpose of the study was to explore the impact of social networks marketing system by SMEs in South Africa, and perception of consumers. In addition, this research investigated factors that influence users’ acceptance of social networks marketing using TAM as the basis for the theoretical framework. Questionnaire-based study done in 2 groups; consumers and small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs), in this work, represent the major users of social networks marketing in South Africa. The research model was tested using data collected from 143 questionnaires and analysed using linear regression. The results show that user’s intentions to use SNM are strongly and positively correlated with user acceptance. The empirical results confirmed that perceived credibility and perceived usefulness are the strongest determinant in predicting user’s intention to use SNM. In addition, many of the South African SMEs using SNM, have presumed that SNM has positively and negatively impacted their businesses.

Full textAbstract:
This study developed and empirically examined a model to help understand how key individuals in businesses decide on whether or not to buy and utilise technology in the context of managing their obligations in relation to business taxes. In restricting the frame of reference to a taxation context, it enabled a link to be made to individual decision making, as it is ordinarily the case that one lead buyer is evident in the context of tax and technology in organisations. The model was developed from a review of extant literature in the areas of technology acceptance, behavioural intention, and consumer and business buying models. The overall model was built on a framework that has at its core the Augmented Technology Acceptance Model (Taylor & Todd, 1995a). A correspondence between attitude to use of the technology and product quality is theorised, allowing a connection to a wider model of purchase intention. The initial model was developed with thirteen hypotheses, ultimately leading to an examination of intention to buy tax technology. After an initial pilot study, in the main study a questionnaire was designed to capture empirical data for measurements related to the model. Data collected from 125 informants (i.e. senior tax staff in large organisations) about tax technology buying decisions they were currently considering was used to empirically test the model, using Structural Equation Modelling. The low sample size caused a need to simplify the original model to retain statistical power. This had the result of reducing the number of hypotheses to ten. The analysis was performed testing the measurement model and the model fit and thereby investigating its underlying hypotheses. The results supported the key hypotheses and the overall explanatory power of the model in examining intention to buy tax technology was strong. The use of technology acceptance principles as core to helping explain buying intention for tax technology was strongly supported. Only one hypothesis was not supported, relating to a proposed positive relationship between Relationship Quality and Intention to Buy constructs. Potential explanations for this finding with regard to relationship quality were introduced. The general research contributions and implications of the study were also discussed.

educational ideologies on their acceptance of technology, and to find out whether there are differences in the perceived ease of use of technology, perceived usefulness of technology, attitudes toward technology, and the frequency of use of technology in education in terms of their educational ideologies. A survey design was used in this study. The questionnaire used in the study was developed by making use of the related literature, and it was administered to 58 academic personnel and 320 students in Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey during the fall semester of the 2003 - 2004 academic year. The data gathered was analyzed with the SPSS program, using descriptive and inferential statistics where ANOVA was conducted. The results of the study showed that academics&rsquo
educational ideologies affect their acceptance of technology
specifically they affect the perceived usefulness of educational technology. Furthermore, there is an effect of students&rsquo
educational ideologies on the frequency of their use of educational technologies. In conclusion, the results of this study can contribute to the literature on the factors of technology acceptance. Educational ideology is a factor affecting academics&rsquo
perceptions of the usefulness of technology, moreover, it is a factor affecting the students&rsquo
the frequency of use of educational technology.

Full textAbstract:
Technology has been an integral part of human life since the 19th century’s Industrial Revolution, and the advancement of technologies has continued into the 21st century. Of all new emerging technologies, the computer has been identified as the most important, most complex and fastest emerging technology. In order for businesses to compete and survive within the business world, they are compelled to adopt new computer technologies. However, computers alone cannot improve organisational performance. Computers need to be accepted, optimally used and utilised by employees in order for an organisation to succeed. One such technology is SAP AG’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which is a real-time, fully integrated business system used by more than 170 000 organisations in 120 countries. Measuring information system success has been a concern since its inception due to its complexity and difficulty to appraise. Researchers traditionally attempted to measure success by the delivering of a functional information system product within certain monetary and time constraints. Subsequently, evidence suggested that a more accurate measure of success lies within the field of system use. One model of assessing and predicting user acceptance and which has gained popularity in recent years is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Apart from accepting the SAP ERP system, users should also be of the intention to continuously use it as a job requirement. The model for measuring user commitment is psychological attachment which determines whether the commitment is insincere and temporary, or long-lasting. Further, not only do users need to accept and continuously use an information technology like SAP ERP; they also need to be able to cope while using it. If not, psychological stress known as techno stress develops and prevents the optimal use of this system. With these three possible explanations for computer technology avoidance as a premise of departure, this study aims to determine the congruence, if any, between the sub-constructs of the TAM (perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward using, behavioural intention to use and actual system use), psychological attachment (compliance, identification and internalisation), and techno stress (negative computer thoughts) within a South African SAP ERP user environment. A cross-sectional survey design was used rendering a convenience sample of N = 241 from among the SAP ERP user fraternity at a South African steel manufacturer. The measuring instruments used were the 23-item Technology Acceptance Questionnaire (TAM), the 10-item Psychological Attachment Questionnaire (PAQ) and the 20-item Computer Thoughts Survey (CTS-C). Study 1 which was a literature review confirmed conceptual congruence in that although the technology acceptance model was the most parsimonious, powerful and widely applied theoretical model, it was constrained due to the omission of social influence (psychological attachment) as a contributing factor in the processes of behavioural change towards technology acceptance. Furthermore, it was found that techno stress lowers employee efficiency and creates dissonance in the work environment, resulting in acceptance, hesitance or resistance towards the technology in question. Congruence was established between the system itself (technology acceptance), social relationships (psychological acceptance), and inherent psychological stress (techno stress). The aim of study 2 was to test the technology acceptance model within a South African SAP ERP user environment. Structural equation modelling confirmed that positive inter-construct relationships exist between all TAM constructs. Actual system use, which is the measurement for technology acceptance, was directly affected by behavioural intention to use and indirectly by perceived usefulness. In turn, behavioural intention to use was directly affected by perceived usefulness, attitude toward using and indirectly by perceived ease of use. Attitude toward using was directly affected by perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness was directly affected by perceived ease of use. Study 3 revealed that internalisation had a direct positive effect on behavioural intention to use and an indirect effect on actual system use via behavioural intention to use. Furthermore, in this study identification had direct positive effects on internalisation, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and actual system use. Indirect effects emerged between identification and behavioural intention to use via internalisation as well as behavioural intention to use via perceived usefulness. Compliance, on the other hand, had negligible, negative direct effects on all TAM constructs of which the most prominent was that on attitude toward using. Results acquired from structural equation modelling in study four confirmed that weak negative relationships existed between techno stress and all TAM constructs. This finding is contrary to other studies and can be attributed to the fact that participants in this study were at large, proficient around SAP ERP and therefore experienced low levels of techno stress. Furthermore, aspects such as effective training, clear deadlines, effective teamwork, recurrent performance evaluations, job security, career development and realistic job load are all antidotes for techno stress which is believed to be current within the participant fraternity. In a concluding chapter the conclusions derived from the literature review, as well as the empirical research were presented and recommendations flowing from this research study were made.PhD (Psychology), North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2014

Full textAbstract:
New information systems will only improve organisational performance if they are accepted and
used to their full capacity. It is therefore important to be able to understand, explain and predict the
factors affecting technology acceptance. One model which has been successful at this is the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, 1986). This study tests an extension of the TAM in
a mandatory usage environment. The extended TAM proposed here incorporates two new
independent measures; past behaviour and perceived behavioural control. Participants were 285
members of an Australian Government Department who had been using a new information system
for approximately 4 months. Usage of the system was mandated in organisational policy and there
were no alternative systems or processes available to participants to complete their job
requirements. Results indicate that when information system usage is mandatory (or nonvolitional)
perceived behavioural control significantly increases the ability of the extended TAM
to predict system acceptance behaviour. Furthermore, self-reports of system usage were not related
to the participants intention to use the system and user satisfaction was the only dependent variable
accurately predicted by the model. Past behaviour did not predict either behavioural intention or
behaviour in this study. The implications of these findings for technology acceptance in modern
organisations and areas for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid development in technology and the huge funding in technological systems in Hong Kong Public Libraries have drawn the attention for researchers to conduct library technology research. While traditional research focuses on the technological development, it is found that there is lack of user-focused research. During the past ten years, public libraries in Hong Kong spent millions of dollars on the development of different technological systems. However, there is no proof that public library users have used them sufficiently. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting user acceptance of library technology in Hong Kong. Considering the reported underutilization of library technology and the importance of promoting them, this study aimed to provide better understanding of the different factors of user acceptance based on a well established theoretical foundation. This study integrated different technology acceptance models towards intention to use library technology in a public library environment. These models are prominent models used to explain the effects of users' internal beliefs and attitudes on their system usage behaviour. Fourteen variables are included in the proposed model in this study. This study employed a cross-sectional field study using a mixed research method which first included qualitative and then quantitative techniques. The study targeted public library users who have experience using library technology. The population of the study was public library users sampled in three major libraries and in three major districts in Hong Kong. Based on a sample of 462 public library users, the proposed integrated model was found to be strongly effective in explaining user acceptance of library technology. It also demonstrates the effects of external variables on behavioural intention through perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. The results of the data analysis showed that perceived ease of use had a stronger effect on user acceptance than perceived usefulness, suggesting that user acceptance of library technology depends on the ease of using one system. Relevance, system reliability and perceived ease of use showed positive effects on perceived usefulness. Also, it was found that accessibility, domain knowledge and level of navigation showed positive effects on perceived ease of use while level of understanding of terminology did not. Moreover, the results indicated that user training has a significant effect on perceived usefulness but not on perceived ease of use. This calls for a need to re-examine the effectiveness of user training in the context of library technology. The results also suggested that although subjective norm does not directly affect users' intention to use library technology, it exerts an influence for users in order to get to know this technology. Additionally, the results indicated that there were significant differences of age towards the acceptance of library technology while younger users were found to have more intention to use library technology than older users. The findings of this study provide public library managers with increased understanding so that they can implement improved strategic, marketing and operational changes. Details of the full range of management benefits of the findings are available in Chapter Eight of this study.

Full textAbstract:
While information technology has rapidly changed work in the United States in the past 50 years, some businesses and industries have been slow to adopt new technologies. Healthcare is one industry that has lagged behind in information technology investment for a variety of reasons. Recent federal initiatives to encourage IT adoption in the healthcare industry provide an ideal context to study factors that influence technology acceptance. Data from 261 practicing pediatricians were collected to evaluate an extended Technology Acceptance Model. Results indicated that individual (i.e., perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use), organizational (i.e., subjective norm), and device (i.e., compatibility, reliability) characteristics collectively influence pediatricians' intention to adopt tablet computers in their medical practice. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. Future research should examine additional variables that influence information technology adoption in organizations.

Full textAbstract:
Medication errors are a major concern for patient safety, and cost the health care system billions of dollars each year. There is evidence that Barcode Medication Administration Technology decreases medication errors. However, little is known about the factors that affect Barcode Medication Administration Technology Acceptance by Nurses. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationships between caring, role conflict and role ambiguity, organizational commitment and barcode medication administration technology acceptance by nurses.
A quantitative non-experimental correlational design was utilized for this study, in addition to two qualitative questions. Eighty-six nurses completed four questionnaires measuring the study variables. Two of the four hypotheses were supported. There was a negative correlation between role conflict and role ambiguity and technology acceptance, indicating that nurses in this study who experienced less role conflict and role ambiguity were more likely to accept BCMA technology. There was also a positive correlation between organizational commitment and technology acceptance, indicating that nurses in this study that were highly committed to their organization were more accepting of BCMA technology. The qualitative findings indicated that nurses experienced some frustration when aspects of the technology malfunctioned, making the medication administration process time consuming. However, nurses verbalized that BCMA technology made their role of medication administration safer and more efficient.
This study's findings can assist administrators, nurse educators and informatics directors in providing adequate training, support, resources and environment for promoting BCMA technology acceptance by nurses. This will help to promote patient safety and technology acceptance and may result in less turnover due to nurse role conflict and role ambiguity.

Science and Technology, Vol. 31, Medford NJ: Information Today, 3-32. ABSTRACT:
Understanding the factors that influence user acceptance of information technology is of
interest both to researchers in a variety of fields as well as procurers of technology for
large organizations. The present chapter reviews literature which demonstrates the nature
of technological acceptance is mediated by distinct factor groups related to the
psychology of the users, the design process of information technology, and the quality of
the technology in user terms. It is concluded that current research offers insights that can
support the derivation of reliable predictions of user acceptance. However, potentially
overlapping theories seem to exist independently of each other and there exists scope for
a unifying framework to extend innovation diffusion concepts and systems design models
(particularly user-centered design) into a formal theory of user acceptance of information
technology.

Oshlyansky, Lidia. "Cultural models in HCI : Hofstede, affordance and technology acceptance." Thesis, Swansea University, 2007. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42813.
Full textAbstract:
There are many models of culture available to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers and industry sector practitioners that could potentially help in tackling the challenge of designing across cultures. Models by Hall and Hofstede (investigated in this thesis) among others, are used by the HCI community to shape research, frame research findings and inform design. However, very limited information is available that proves the applicability of these models to the field. There is currently no large scale, multi-country study that addresses the suitability and applicability of cultural models to the topical areas covered by HCI. The consequence of this lack of validated applicability is that the community, due to a lack of tools or knowledge, have to rely on guesswork or rules of thumb when tackling cross-cultural research and design. The research described here sets out to investigate when cultural models can be applied and to which HCI topics. This thesis explores the relationship and applicability of Hofstede's cultural model to two HCI topics which span Ito and Nakakoji's (1996) model of cultural impact on interaction. These two topics are cross-cultural affordance and cross-cultural technology acceptance. The thesis contingently also looks at the viability of doing cross-cultural research by using standardised tools and measures. The first study described here was a research project exploring the differences in affordances between two cultures and how or if Hofstede's cultural model could be applied to explain the findings of this study. The results from the affordance study showed that cultural differences do exist at the affordance level of interaction. However, Hofstede's cultural model could not help explain HCI at the lower end of Ito and Nakakoji's cultural influence model, at the level of affordance. The affordance study also provided useful insight into the questionnaire method used for gathering data in the second, larger scale project on technology acceptance. The second study which focused on cross-cultural technology acceptance, at the high end of Ito and Nakakoji's model, was a large scale, multinational, exploratory study. It investigated how Hofstede's cultural model could assist in understanding cross-cultural differences in technology acceptance as expressed when using websites. The research sought to understand how and if Hofstede's cultural model as measured by the Value Survey Module (VSM) would correlate with website acceptance as measured by the Unified Theory Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Both models were measured using questionnaires in 11 countries and 6 different languages. Results of this second study showed that Hofstede's model was not helpful at the higher end of Ito and Nakakoji's cultural influence model. Indeed the results cast doubt as to the validity of Hofstede's model as measured by the VSM while validating the use of the UTAUT cross-culturally.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this study is the problem of declining trend in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patient compliance. Studies reported improved compliance in patients with chronic diseases due to technology-based interventions. However, researchers have not investigated the advantages of technology to improve the compliance of OSA patients in detail. The specific problem was the lack of engagement between patients and healthcare managers, resulting in low compliance within OSA patients. The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate how technology-based interventions can improve OSA patient engagement with the healthcare managers resulting in improved compliance with treatment procedures. In this study, the technology acceptance model was used as the instrument in evaluating the information collected through interviews with 20 healthcare managers about their attitudes toward usage, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. The transcribed interviews were open-coded using the RQDA library in R Studio. In general, results from this study indicated that the healthcare managers showed a positive attitude towards the use of technology for patient engagement and expressed that the technology is useful for patient engagement and is easier to use. However, they identified technology-related and patient-related challenges in implementing technology for patient engagement. Further, the respondents identified process-related and patient-related opportunities in using technology for patient engagement. Results from this study have practice and policy implications by enabling healthcare managers to devise better compliance plans for OSA patient management. The findings could have a social benefit by helping healthcare managers to implement technology-based interventions to better achieve a higher compliance resulting in better patient health at lower costs.

With the rapid innovation of information technology and the increasing cost of human resources, more and more companies are offering technology-based interface as an alternative for service encounter. Although the potential financial benefits of successful technology incorporation are enticing, the savings cannot be realized unless customers embrace and use the technologies. Of the suite of theories that explain technology acceptance, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) appears the most popular. Besides, scholars have also advocated that customers’ technology readiness (TR) should be also taken into account in order to accurately predict the perception and behavior of customers. Therefore, this research attempts to incorporate TR into TAM by exploring the relationship between TR and TAM. The results indicate that customer’ TR enhances perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and intention to use. In addition, the influence of perceived ease of use on attitude decreases under conditions of high TR.

As of today, Blockchain is an innovative distributed ledger technology enabling the exchange
of value online without the need of intermediaries such as banks or players of the shared
economy. The technology provides a decentralized and trustless network, secured by
cryptography and consensus mechanisms.
The study attempted to assess the current ‘Level of Knowledge’ about the up-and-coming
Blockchain technology throughout society, which is considered to be fundamental in order to
unfold full socio-economic potential. Based on a modified version of the Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis (1989) the study sought to define relationships between
self-reported variables such as ‘Perceived Ease of Use’, ‘Perceived Usefulness’ and
‘Perceived Risk’, ultimately predicting the ‘Intention to Use’ of Blockchain. An online
questionnaire was designed and shared across a convenience sample population, comprised by
young students and professionals.
The results reveal that about two thirds of the sample population is non-aware of the topic at
hand. The findings affirm overall significance and appropriateness of the tested constructs
within the conceptual framework. A system will be accepted, if it is perceived as trustworthy,
convenient and useful. ‘Perceived Risk’ was the most significant determinant in predicting
intended use. Regression analysis revealed significant relationships among all the variables
used.
Managerial as well as academic implications about the outcomes of this study have been
formulated.
It should be noted, that due to the nature of TAM and the convenience sample, general
conclusions about society’s perception are limited.Atualmente o Blockchain, ou “protocolo de segurança” é uma tecnologia inovadora que garante a partilha de valor online sem intermédio de terceiros. Por outras palavras, a tecnologia garante uma rede descentralizada e segura, assegurada pela criptografia e outros mecanismos consensuais, criando uma alternativa à confiança em bancos e outros players que atuem sob a economia partilhada. O estudo em causa tenta avaliar o atual “Nível de Conhecimento” na sociedade relativamente à tecnologia, considerado como um ponto fundamental para revelar todo o seu potencial socioeconómico. O mesmo, é baseado numa versão modificada do modelo Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), proposto por Davis (1989), que procura definir relações entre variáveis previamente definidas como: ‘Facilidade de Utilização Percebida’, ‘Utilidade Percebida’ e ‘Risco Percebido’ que preveem a intenção de uso do Blockchain. Isto é, afirmarse- á que um sistema é aceite caso seja visto como seguro, conveniente e útil. Um questionário relativo ao tópico foi partilhado entre uma amostra por conveniência, composta por jovens estudantes e profissionais. Os resultados revelam que cerca de dois terços dos indivíduos que compõem a amostra não estão cientes do tópico em causa. Identificou-se que a variável ‘Risco Percebido’ é aquela que significativamente melhor determina a intenção de uso, sendo que, a análise de regressão revelou relações significativas entre todas as variáveis utilizadas. Implicações académicas e de gestão foram formuladas após a análise dos resultados. Contudo, devido à natureza da TAM e à amostra por conveniência as conclusões gerais sobre a percepção da sociedade relativamente ao Blockchain são limitadas.

Abstract Since 1987, Taiwan government opened up gas station from government-owned to private-owned; it changed the all structure of the gasoline industry in Taiwan. FPCC (Formosa Petrochemical Corporation) became the gasoline supplier in 1990, and then it broke the situation about monopolization by government-owned gasoline industry. According to Bureau of Energy statistical information, in July 2010, there were 2071 gas stations supplied by CPC (Chinese Petroleum Corporation), 586 stations supplied by FPCC. In February 2014, there were 1975 gas stations supplied by CPC, 529 stations supplied by FPCC. During short three years, total of 153 gas stations went out of business or closed down. In recent years, some gas stations continue to promote the use of self-service refueling. According to many literatures, developing self-service refueling not only reduces personnel costs, but also enhances efficiency and competitiveness of gas stations. According to Davis, Bagozzi &; Warshaw (1989) proposed the technology acceptance model, and combines consumer traits that Dabholkar &; Bagozzi (2002) proposed in order to explore the relationship of various dimensions: 1.There is significant difference between consumer traits and Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of use by using self-service fueling. 2.There is significant difference between Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of use by using self-service fueling. 3.There is significant difference between Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of use and Attitude Toward Using by using self-service fueling. 4.There is significant difference between Attitude Toward Using and Behavioral Intension to Use by using self-service fueling. An Empirical Analysis of the results for the degree of consumer traits, Perceived Usefulness and of Perceived Ease of use by using self-service fueling are highly relevant. Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of use by using self-service fueling are highly relevant. Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of use and Attitude Toward Using by using self-service fueling are highly relevant. Attitude Toward Using and Behavioral Intension to Use by using self-service fueling are highly relevant. Finally, based on result, propose some suggestions for self-service fueling and service process design improvements.

As the Internet environment matures, Internet users increase rapidly. Internet has gradually evolved into users participation in the new generation-Web2.0. Thus, Blog, online video and other internet applications develop with the concept of Web2.0. The information acquisition of Internet users has significantly changed. However, the social software is just satisfied with interaction demands of Web2.0 concept. The first Social bookmarking service, del.icio.us, appeared at this time. Past research about the motivation of using e-learning indicates that most of them focus on personal intentions. The impact on the use of social bookmarking websites includes the factors regarding social influence and perceived playfulness, in addition to personal intentions. Most of past research about social bookmarking focuses on technology development and application of tagging bookmarks. Social bookmarking websites in Web2.0 services have integrated with the information searching, information sharing and community. It makes the social bookmarking websites more interesting. Therefore, this study will use Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which adds the variables of perceived playfulness and social influence to study what factors influence web users using social bookmarking? What are the social bookmarking users’ characteristics and behavior? The results are as following: (1) The level of user dependency on internet is high, but users spend less time and use social bookmarking moderately. (2) Domestic portals have not provided social bookmarking service. (3) Perceived ease of use is positively associated with Perceived usefulness and Attitude toward using. (4) In the attitude toward using behavior and behavioral intention to use, perceived playfulness is more positive than social influence. (5) Sex is positively associated with behavioral intention to use, and perceived usefulness is positively associated with Attitude toward using in the female samples.

Due to the credibility of measuring intention of use and behavior of technology users, Technology Acceptance Model (Davis and Arbor, 1989) has been broadly used in different fields. Therefore, there has been more and more emphasis put on the antecedents of the model. In the past, most of research used external variables as the antecedents, but the internal variables should not be ignored; among the internal variables, emotion is one of the most essential ones since it plays an important role in affecting the behavior of human being, but there has not been enough research for this important topic. This research would based on TAM and combine a emotion framing method (Beaudry and Pinsonneault, 2011) to investigate how emotions can affect users’ perceived ease of use.

This research intends to examine uer technology acceptance status toward the newest entertainment technology: Mobile sensing game. TAM theory (Davis, 1986) has been broadly cited for providing the parsimonious and theoretically results in past few decades. As the TAM theory stands alone from the point of cognition, recent studies suggest that affection factors should be integrated to deep in the explanation of technology acceptance; as a result, the perceived enjoyment (Davis et al., 1989; Jo, Beak, & Ryu, 2001) is adopted. Furthermore, prior studies found there was a positive relationship between flow experience and attitude (Hsu and Lu, 2004). Therefore, this research combined all above mentioned factors to examine user technology acceptance toward mobile sensing game. Data were collected through face-to-face interview and web-based questionnaire, and concerning to the numbers and validity, we choose the face-to-face group to carry on the following analysis. Because this group were asked to do the survey after playing mobile sensing game The SEM results suggested that perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment and flow experience were significantly impacted individual’s attitude toward adoption while perceived usefulness was proved not significantly impacted attitude toward adoption in this study. The findings also suggested positive relationship between attitude toward adoption and behavior intention to use as TAM stated. In addition, this research provides several suggestions to practitioners who are interested in the management of motion sensor gaming phone development.

When we search and gain information more and more easy, the numerous information will cover the truth of informations, therefore, We are hard to discover the information which we really need. Moreover, the information is only the data after organize. “knowledge”can be more important that brings the competition for the enterprise and the people. Knowledge management（KM） was the most important issue obviously. Knowledge management system through the information technology, could achieve the twice the result with half the effort effect and gain the competitive advantage. After the raising of knowledge management system, there were many information technology which was based on the concept of knowledge management system. However, as the enterprise introduces new technical, the member of organization itself could resist servely. Therefore, to promote the information technology to have the anticipated effectiveness, the enterprise itself enhance organization member to accept KM system, this is research goal. This research using Technology Acceptance Model（TAM） to inspect that the enterprise output after using technology. By the exterior variable's influence, causes member's consciousness to receive the change, then changes its attitude and the behavior, finally has individual achievements. This research mainly through the online questionnaire, take technology industry's in member as the object of study, discusses the knowledge management system's satisfaction and acceptance by TAM. In the exterior variable's organization factor, conforms to the technology industry nature of the fast change emphatically. Finally, confirms this research’ hypothesis and construction by the factor analysis and the regression analysis. The result discovered that the exterior variable can affect organization member’s faith. Organization member’s r faith can affect organization member’s satisfaction. The satisfaction will affect organization member’s acceptance. The new hypothesis's organization factor has higher influence regarding organization member's faith. The perceived ease of use influence is higher than perceived usefulness. Between each construction dimension has many intermediary effects, and has the relevance highly. According to the results, the research suggests the contributions: 1. Construct KM system's TAM 2. Establishment the organization factor as the main exterior variable 3.
