Erkan, Ismail. "The influence of electronic word of mouth in social media on consumers' purchase intentions." Thesis, Brunel University, 2016. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/12972.
Full textAbstract:
The influence of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) on consumers’ purchase intentions has long been known. However, the emergence of social media has brought a new perspective to eWOM through enabling users to communicate with their existing networks on the Internet. On social media, conversely to the other online platforms, users are able to exchange their opinions and experiences about products or services with familiar people, which refers to people who they already know such as friends and acquaintances. This new way of eWOM has the potential for greater impact on consumers. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the influence of eWOM in social media on consumers’ purchase intentions. To do so, the research in this thesis involved two major phases. In the first phase, in order to explore the determinants of eWOM information on social media which influences consumers’ purchase intentions, a theoretical model was developed based on the integration of Information Adoption Model (IAM) and related components of Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The new model, which is named as Information Acceptance Model (IACM), was validated through structural equation modelling (SEM) based on surveys of 384 social media users in the UK. The results have highlighted that quality, credibility, usefulness and adoption of information, needs of information and attitude towards information are the key factors for eWOM in social media which influence consumers’ purchase intentions. Furthermore, to provide better understanding of the influence of eWOM on social media, the second phase of this research was designed as a comparative study. To explore whether the eWOM between familiar people on social media or the eWOM between anonymous people on other online platforms was more influential on consumers’ purchase intentions, the data collected through survey was reanalysed with a different perspective; and a comparison was conducted based on multiple regression analysis. The results have revealed significant differences and found anonymous reviews to be more influential on consumers’ purchase intentions than friends’ recommendations on social media. However, since these results were contrary to expectations, 10 in-depth interviews were also administered to enlighten the insightful results found through the survey. The interview findings uncovered the survey results. Information quantity, information readiness, detailed information, and dedicated information were discovered as the factors which make online reviews superior than friends’ recommendations in terms of the influence of eWOM. This research contributes to theoretical implications through its validated model and found key dimensions. The research model, IACM, brings a new approach to information adoption by extending IAM and provides new insights to researchers who study Information Systems (IS). In addition, the model highlights the information adoption process as an antecedent of behavioural intention, which is a very important finding for the related literature. Future studies can build new models through considering this relationship between information adoption process and behavioural intention. Moreover, the second phase of this research provides new constructs for future studies through its qualitative findings. The findings reached through in-depth interviews, which explain why consumers prefer anonymous online reviews, can either be tested as components of new theories and models or they can be tested as inclusion of existing theories and models. Both types have potential to provide valuable results for the literature. On the other hand, in terms of practicality, this research provides marketers with a frame of reference to understand the influence of eWOM in social media on consumers’ purchase intentions. Both the contextual and the comparative studies in this research offer valuable insights for marketers; marketers thus can develop better strategies for marketing on social media.

Chandio, Fida Hussain. "Studying acceptance of online banking information system : a structural equation model." Thesis, Brunel University, 2011. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/6153.
Full textAbstract:
Acceptance of information technology (IT) has remained a topic of interest for a last few decades. Several theories, specifically over the conceptualisation of the technology acceptance model (TAM) have emerged and they have been applied in different contexts to investigate new insights into the acceptance behaviour at individual and organisational levels. However, despite TAM’s maturity and validity in different contexts, very little published literature strives to extend its capability to predict individuals’ acceptance behaviour about an online banking information system (OBIS). A possible rational for this gap may be conceptualisation of the TAM under which individuals’ acceptance behaviour can only be predicted with two beliefs: perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU). The evidence in literature shows that PU and PEOU beliefs are not sufficient; hence, they may not explain individuals’ acceptance behaviour in emerging contexts, such as online banking information systems, especially in developing economies such as Pakistan. There is therefore a need for inclusion of any additional factor that can enhance prediction of acceptance of online banking information system by potential users. Extending research on the TAM, this study developed and tested a model of OBIS acceptance. The proposed model integrated key constructs from the information systems acceptance research stream into the theoretical frame of the TAM and other theories from social psychology, such as the theory of reasoned action (TRA), theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the TAM2. According to the proposed conceptual model, OBIS acceptance was determined by eight main factors, which included perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, technological self-efficacy, response time, output quality, accessibility, and terminology clarity. In this model, PU was hypothesised to be affected by PEOU, trust, technological self-efficacy (TSE), output quality (OQ) and response time (RT). In addition, PEOU was hypothesised to be determined by three external factors: TSE, accessibility and terminology clarity (TC). The model was tested on a sample of 353 Internet banking users in Pakistan. Using structural equation modelling with Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software, data analysis showed considerable support for the extended hypothesised model. The result indicated that, in order of importance, PU, PEOU and trust explained 45.7 % of the variance in the acceptance behaviour. The trust and the TSE predicted 28.1 % of the variance in the PU. However, the hypothesised relationships between the PU and the PEOU, OQ and RT were found to be not significant. While in the PEOU, 21.8 % of the variance was predicted by the TSE, accessibility and TC. TSE was found to be a more influential determinant of the PEOU than the PU. The consideration of factors that have a significant influence on the acceptance of OBIS, as identified in this research, is important for the managers in the banking sector, especially in developing countries, in order to increase wider acceptance and use of these systems, which provide benefits to both the customers and the service providers.

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:
Even though most clinical information systems (CIS) today are technically sound, the number of successful implementations of these systems is low. For that reason, understanding the characteristics and challenges for organizations implementing CIS is now considered key to successful information technology deployment (Lorenzi & Riley, 1997). Although theory driven information systems models and CIS studies exist, an integrated model to predict a successful CIS has not been evaluated. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the ability of a theoretically-based integrated model of CIS success (CISSM) to predict a successful CIS from the clinicians' perspective. Data were collected and analyzed from 234 registered nurses in 4 hospitals who had used the Cerner PowerChart Admission Health Profile (AHP) longer than 3 months. Construct validity and internal consistency reliability of the 23-item online instrument were established. The results of stepwise multiple regression analyses provided tentative support for the CISSM model.

Full textAbstract:
The implementation of a new Information Technology in an organization represents a
significant change. Little research, however, has been conducted on the collective
power of Information Technology acceptance and change management. The current
research seeks to integrate a prominent model of technology acceptance and change
management theory to develop an holistic approach to Information Technology
implementation and acceptance. Using Davis' (1989) Technology Acceptance Model
(TAM) (Attitude) and Beer, Eisenstat and Specter's (1990) six step model of change
(Change), this three phase longitudinal case study examined the change management
of the implementation of a new Information System within a statutory authority.
Results from the current study show that the addition of the six step model (Change)
adds appreciably to the TAM (Attitude) in the prediction of general service
satisfaction and perceived implementation success. Findings also show the temporal
salience of the factors of the six step model and the TAM in the prediction of these
dependent variables. The current research supports previous work by Davis (1989)
and Thompson, Higgins and Howell (1994) who stated that initially people are
motivated to use an Information System by affect, but will in time be more concerned
with usefulness as habit formation occurs. The current study found that during the
pre-implementation phase, commitment through communication and vision are
critical to the change process. However, as the change moves into the implementation
phase, consensus becomes most important. The shift in factors salient during the
change process is what the author refers to as the temporal progression proposition.
Strengths and limitations of the current study and recommendations for future
research are discussed.

Jones, Cynthia. "Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model to Assess Employee Adoption of Information Systems Security Measures." NSUWorks, 2009. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/hsbe_etd/49.
Full textAbstract:
Companies are increasing their investment in technologies to enable better access to information and to gain a competitive advantage. Global competition is driving companies to reduce costs and enhance productivity, increasing their dependence on
information technology. Information is a key asset within an organization and needs to be protected. Expanded connectivity and greater interdependence between companies and consumers has increased the damage potential of a security breach to a company's
information systems. Improper unauthorized use of computer systems can create a devastating financial loss even to the point of causing the organization to go out of business. It is critically important to understand what causes users to understand, accept
and to follow the organization's information systems security measures so that companies can realize the benefits of their technological investments. In the past several years, computer security breaches have stemmed from insider misuse and abuse of the information systems and non-compliance to the information systems security measures.
The purpose of this study was to address the factors that affect employee acceptance of information systems security measures.
The Technology Acceptance Model was extended and served as the theoretical framework for this study to examine the factors that affect employee adoption of information systems security measures. The research model included three independent dimensions, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and subjective norm. These
constructs were hypothesized to predict intention to use information systems security measures, moderated by management support affecting subjective norm. Five hypotheses were posited. A questionnaire was developed to collect data from employees across
multiple industry segments to test these hypotheses. Partial least squares statistical methodology was used to analyze the data and to test the hypotheses. The results of the statistical analysis supported three of the five hypotheses with subjective norm and
management support showing the strongest effect on intention to use information systems security measures.
Few studies have used TAM to study acceptance of systems in a mandatory environment and to specifically examine the employee acceptance of computer information systems security measures. This study, therefore, adds to the body of knowledge. Further, it provides important information for senior management and
security professionals across multiple industries regarding the need to develop security policies and processes and to effectively communicate them throughout the organization and to design these measures to promote their use by employees in the organization.

Full textAbstract:
Along with the development of smart phones and smart phones operating systems, users of smart phones are able to install software, games and other programs provided by third-party providers. WeChat as a third party software that exists in the current market, is an in-stant messaging application that enables users to send voice, video, pictures and text to their contacts through mobile network. Being a new application, the user acceptance of WeChat has not been studied. Therefore, the result of this study will be valuable to fill the knowledge gap about user acceptance study of this mobile application, and future development of other similar instant messaging mobile application could also benefit from this study. This study focuses on WeChat users and answers to the following research questions: 1. What are the factors that affect the users‘ acceptance of WeChat? 2. How could other competing instant messaging applications improve their user acceptance? The purpose of this study is to explain factors that affect the users‘ acceptance of WeChat among WeChat users who are studying in one specific school and working in one specific company. This study adopts a deductive, theory testing approach. The research model was proposed through literature review and expert interview, and six hypotheses were developed based on the research model. A survey was conducted subsequently to collect quantitative data. Hypotheses were tested through analyzing the quantitative data by using SPSS. Through testing the hypotheses, this study concluded that effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, cost and privacy are the factors that could affect user acceptance of WeChat. Other similar IM mobile applications could take those identified factors as reference in further user acceptance study, and the proposed research model in this study could also help in improving understanding of user acceptance in similar IM mobile application study.

Full textAbstract:
The Republic of Moldova is losing many of its citizens to more lucrative economic opportunities abroad. Remittances from emigrants, in many various forms, have become vital agents in the Moldovan economy. This thesis investigated whether remittance activity among immigrants from Moldova in the United States and Canada might be used as a model for an effective strategy to spread public health information amongst Moldovans. Specifically, two studies examined whether remittance behavior among Moldovans living in The United States and Canada predicted their perceptions that a "knowledge remittance" strategy for public health information would be effective and their interest in participating in a knowledge remittance effort. Grounded in the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2), two studies evaluated the remittance relationship. Study 1, an exploratory online survey (n = 15), indicated that Moldovan immigrants living in the United States and Canada that have a generally positive attitude towards capital and knowledge remittances will tend to perceive the transmission of knowledge remittances as useful. There was tentative support for the correlation of perceived usefulness with the intention to remit knowledge. Study 2 (n = 5) consisted of qualitative interviews and found that Moldovan immigrants living in the United States and Canada have access to the Internet and frequently use the technology to contact family in Moldova at home. Interviewees had a generally positive view of both capital and knowledge remittances, though they were in disagreement on the major health risks facing Moldova. The findings of these studies suggest that a remittance propagated health campaign is a possible resolution to poor health knowledge in Moldova.Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
The use of Electronic Prescribing Systems (EPS) has significant potential role in improving patient safety and reducing adverse drug events. However, the introduction of these systems can have negative outcome on delivery of care if healthcare providers are not utilizing regularly and accept it. This study aims to explore paediatrician’s attitude towards electronic prescribing systems as well as understand the possible factors affecting user acceptance at tertiary care using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A qualitative research methodology was applied. Semi-structured interviews were developed according to TAM model and used as primary source of collecting empirical data. Seven research participants were interviewed. The findings of this study had identified factors that are important for paediatrician’s acceptance of EPS systems. Although paediatricians are positive to the usefulness of EPS, it appears that there are some acceptance problems due to ease of use concerns and usability issues of the system. The acceptance of EPS can be improved by leveraging ease of use as well as enhancing training.

"As the delivery of healthcare has become more sophisticated, scientific, and complex, the need for HIM (Health Information Management) professionals at all levels has increased, and the role and status of those managing these functions has increased accordingly." (AHIMA, September 24, 2007). Studies by the Institute of Medicine and others have found suboptimal technology use throughout the healthcare industry. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) developed the e-HIM Virtual Lab (V-lab) to train students in the use of new technology applications in response to IOM findings. Faculty are the gatekeepers for use of instructional technology in educational settings. Many disciplines have evaluated instructional technology use by students. There are very few studies on faculty use of instructional technology. There are no published studies of the determinant factors influencing health information management (HIM) faculty use of instructional technology. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the faculty's attitude and behavior toward the use of the V-lab instructional technology. A non-random one group pretest posttest design was used to test the hypothetical Instructional Perception -Technology Acceptance Model (IP- TAM) for faculty perceptions regarding system functionality, usability and technology acceptance. The Path Analysis determined the strongest construct indicators for intent to use the V-lab were Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease Of Use (PEOU), System Functionality and Usability (SFU). These findings support the recommendation for a collaborative examination of the existing V-lab systems to improve utilization and success.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
The two longitudinal case studies that make up this dissertation sought to explain and predict the relationship between usability and clinician acceptance of a health information system. The overall aim of the research study was to determine what role usability plays in the acceptance or rejection of systems used by clinicians in a healthcare context. The focus was on the end users (the clinicians) rather than the views of the system designers and managers responsible for implementation and the clients of the clinicians.
A mixed methods approach was adopted that drew on both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This study followed the implementation of a community health information system from early beginnings to its established practice. Users were drawn from different health service departments with distinctly different organisational cultures and attitudes to information and communication technology used in this context.
This study provided evidence that a usability analysis in this context would not necessarily be valid when the users have prior reservations on acceptance. Investigation was made on the initial training and post-implementation support together with a study on the nature of the clinicians to determine factors that may influence their attitude.
This research identified that acceptance of a system is not necessarily a measure of its quality, capability and usability, is influenced by the user’s attitude which is determined by outside factors, and the nature and quality of training. The need to recognise the limitations of the current methodologies for analysing usability and acceptance was explored to lay the foundations for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The United States is one of the last countries to transition to the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) coding system. The move from the 35-year-old system, ICD-9, to ICD-10, represents a milestone in the transformation of the 21st century healthcare industry. All covered healthcare entities were mandated to use the ICD-10 system on October 1, 2015, to justify medical necessity, an essential component in determining whether a service is payable or not. Despite the promising outcomes of this shift, more than 70% of healthcare organizations identified concerns related to education efforts, including lack of best practices for the ICD-10 transition. Lack of preparation for the implementation of ICD-10 undermines the clinical, technological, operational, and financial processes of healthcare organizations. This study was an exploration of implementation strategies used to overcome barriers to transition to ICD-10. A single case study was conducted, grounded by the conceptual framework of the technology acceptance model, to learn about ways to mitigate the barriers of this new coding system. Data were gathered from the review of documents, observations, and semistructured interviews with 9 participants of a public healthcare organization in Florida. Data were coded to identify themes. Key themes that emerged from the study included (a) in-depth ICD-10 training, (b) the prevalence of ICD-10 cheat sheets, (c) lack of system readiness, and (d) perception of usefulness of job performance. The results of the study may contribute to social change by identifying successful implementation strategies to mitigate operational disruptions that will allow providers to capture more detailed health information about the severity of patients' conditions.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade, a growing number of organisations have been developing executive information systems (EIS) to enhance the performance of their executive managers and facilitate their work. Such systems cannot improve individual and organisational performance if they aren't used. Thus, understanding the key determinants of EIS utilisation is an essential step toward enhancing their impact on individual users and organisational performance. Numerous case studies and explorative surveys of EIS development and implementation have been conducted, but an extensive literature review has shown that theory-based systematic investigations of post implementation use of EIS are rare, especially in the UK. The study reported here developed and tested a model of EIS usage. The proposed model integrates key constructs from the information systems success factors research stream into the theoretical frame of the technology acceptance model and other theories from social psychology (the theory of reasoned action, the theory of planned behaviour, and the Triandis model of attitude and behaviour). According to the proposed model, EIS usage is determined by six independent variables, namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, information quality, involvement, subjective norm and facilitating conditions. In turn, perceived usefulness is influenced by perceived ease of use, perceived information quality, user involvement, subjective norm, and facilitating conditions. User involvement, perceived information quality and perceived ease of use are determined by four external factors, namely, user participation, information systems maturity, computer training, and user experience. The model was tested against data from 216 EIS users across various organisations. The results provided considerable support to the research model. In order of importance, subjective norm, perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions, information quality, and ease of use were found to explain 47.1% of the variance in EIS use. User involvement, information quality, subjective norm, ease of use, and facilitating conditions were found to explain 47.6% of the variance in perceived usefulness. Length of EIS use and computer use skill were found to explain 9% of the variance in perceived ease of use. IS maturity and user participation were found to explain 11% of the variance in EIS information quality. Finally, user participation was found to explain 2.4% of the variance in involvement. Implications of the study findings for practitioners and researchers are outlined.

Cloud computing emerged as an alternative to traditional in-house data centers that businesses can leverage to increase the operation agility and employees' productivity. IT solution architects are tasked with presenting to IT managers some analysis reflecting cloud computing adoption critical barriers and challenges. This quantitative correlational study established an enhanced technology acceptance model (TAM) with four external variables: perceived security (PeS), perceived privacy (PeP), perceived connectedness (PeN), and perceived complexity (PeC) as antecedents of perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEoU) in a cloud computing context. Data collected from 125 participants, who responded to the invitation through an online survey focusing on Afghanistan's main cities Kabul, Mazar, and Herat. The analysis showed that PEoU was a predictor of the behavioral intention of cloud computing adoption, which is consistent with the TAM; PEoU with an R2 = .15 had a stronger influence than PU with an R2 = .023 on cloud computing behavior intention of adoption and use. PeN, PeS, and PeP significantly influenced the behavioral intentions of IT architects to adopt and use the technology. This study showed that PeC was not a significant barrier to cloud computing adoption in Afghanistan. By adopting cloud services, employees can have access to various tools that can help increase business productivity and contribute to improving the work environment. Cloud services, as an alternative solution to home data centers, can help businesses reduce power consumption and consecutively decrease in carbon dioxide emissions due to less power demand.

Full textAbstract:
In retail, the explosion of data sources and data has provided incentive to invest in information systems (IS), which enable leaders to understand the market and make timely decisions to improve performance. Given that users’ perceptions of IS affects their use of IS, understanding the factors influencing user acceptance is critical to acquiring an effective business intelligence system (BIS) for an organization. Grounded in the technology acceptance model theory, the purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship between perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and user acceptance of business intelligence systems (BIS) in retail organizations. A 9-question survey was used to collect data from end-users of BIS in strategic managerial positions from retail organizations in the eastern United States who reported using BIS within the past 5 years. A total of 106 complete survey responses were collected and analyzed using multiple linear regression and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The results of the multiple linear regression indicated the model’s ability to predict user acceptance, F(2,103) = 21.903, p < .000, R2 = 0.298. In addition, PU was a statistically significant predictor of user acceptance (t = -3.947, p = .000), which decreased with time as shown by the results from Pearson’s product-moment correlation, r = -.540, n = 106, p < .01. The implications of this study for positive social change include the potential for business leaders to leverage BIS in addressing the underlying causes of social and economic challenges in the communities they serve.

Full textAbstract:
Information technology (IT) has become pervasive in the healthcare industry. Many view the Internet as a strategic healthcare tool. The Medical Records Institute suggests that Internet-based health applications (IHA), for example, electronic health records, e-prescribing, and mobile health are the goals of most healthcare organizations (2002). The use of the Internet for electronic medical records, e-billing and patient scheduling can enable the health care industry to reduce its inefficiencies and errors in care delivery (HlMSS/IBM Leadership Survey, 2000). While the use of IT in healthcare has increased tremendously, key players, specifically physicians still have not fully
embraced the valuable resource of the Internet. Despite the purported advantages of lT investments in healthcare many doctors do not widely use Internet-based health applications in their clinical practices. Physicians often misunderstand the functions and full potential of the Internet (Wang & Song, 1997). Health & Health Care 20 I0 report that less than 5% of physicians use computers to record all clinical information for an average patient. The present study examined physicians' intentions to adopt Internet-based health applications for use in their clinical practices. This research reports on the test-retest reliability of the extended Technology Acceptance Model-TAM2 (Venkatesh & Davis, 2000). Data were collected from a survey of pediatricians to evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of the model in the medical environment. Results from the study indicate that TAM2 is appropriate but not completely applicable to the unique characteristic of physicians. The test-retest indicated reliable results with the exception of the result demonstrability construct. The results of multiple regression analyses indicated that perceived ease of use was not significant in predicting physicians' behavioral intentions in this study. As theorized the primary predictor variable perceived usefulness was a strong determinant of intention to use. Results indicate that physicians tend to be pragmatic in their IT acceptance decisions. Physicians focus more on the technology's usefulness rather than its ease of use.
This dissertation discusses the implications, limitations and presents possible explanations for the inconsistencies within the extended technology acceptance model when it is applied to a professional group not commonly examined in IS research.Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2002.

Full textAbstract:
Studying how individuals accept new computer systems is one of the main issues in information systems research. Organisations need to develop and implement information and communication technology systems successfully. Successful implementation of any system depends op, its acceptance and use by potential users. This thesis investigates how managers make their decisions towards new information and communication technology systems. It is a new extension to the technology acceptance model, which includes new factors which have direct and indirect influence on managers' decisions to use new technology. The thesis pursues an answer for the research question 'what factors affect managers' decisions to accept or reject a new information and communication technology system?' This research adds more constructs to the original technology acceptance model which are adapted from the theory of reasoned action, the theory of planned behaviour and other information systems development theories such as user participation, user interface design and management support. This research adopts action research, case study and web survey methods to test the 22 hypotheses. The results confirm the new extended technology acceptance model which is an addition to the literature of computer systems adoption.

Användaracceptans är en viktig del i alla systemutvecklingsprojekt och är också en väldigt lättpåverkad variabel för en lyckad implementering. Därför är det viktigt att ha översikt på sådana faktorer som kan påverka användaracceptansen negativt, en sådan faktor är försening. Denna uppsats belyser sammanhanget mellan hur en försening påverkar användaracceptansen. Genom att låta en undersökningsgrupp genomgå en enkät utformad efter Technology Acceptance Model har jag samlat upp en generaliserad åsikt. Resultaten visar att försening som variabel inte påverkar användaracceptansen för fallstudien.User acceptance is an important part of all system development projects and is also a very easily influenced variable for a successful implementation. That is why it is important to have an overview of those factors that could influence the user acceptance negatively, one of those factors being delay. This thesis highlights the cohesion between a delayed project and its influence over the user acceptance. By letting a study group answer a survey formed by the Technology Acceptance Model, I have gathered the generalized opinion of the group. The results show that delay as a variable does not influence the user acceptance of this case study.

Full textAbstract:
In recent times, there has been a rapid increase in technological initiatives to promote electronic commerce. Delivery of services via the Internet or other remote computing technology now represents the trend for most organizations. In keeping with market trends, the banking industry in Jamaica and other countries worldwide have also adapted a variety of technological initiatives to enhance the delivery of services to remote customers. As these trends continue, there is heightened interest in information systems (IS) research to understand the factors that motivate or encourage individuals to use these technologies. This situation exists because interactions in these environments are significantly different from the traditional face to face settings.
The original Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has long been studied, modified, and extended by IS researchers as a classical model for understanding individual's intention to use (IU) an IS. According to TAM, IU an IS is based on two constructs: perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU). Researchers have identified other factors such as trust (TRST) and computer self-efficacy (CSE) that impact an individual's IU an IS. In this predictive study, the researcher examined the integration of TRST and CSE into TAM and their overall impact on customers' intentions to use banking information systems (BIS) in Jamaica.
A 32-item Web-based survey instrument was used to collect data from 374 customers of three major banks in Jamaica. A revised TAM model was proposed and SPSS's AMOS 7.0 statistical package was used to perform data analysis and model fit testing based on structural equation modeling (SEM). Results showed that while CSE did not significantly predict TRST and PEOU, it significantly predicted PU. Additionally, TRST significantly predicted both PEOU and PU, and PEOU positively predicted PU and attitude (ATT) towards BIS. Furthermore, PU was a significant predictor of ATT and IU, and ATT significantly impacted IU. The findings also revealed that only TRST varied significantly across males and females and the original TAM had a slightly better fit than the revised TAM. The research laid the foundation for future exploratory studies of TAM in specialized contexts such as BIS in Jamaica.

Because of the development of electronic medical record and constant lackness of nursing workforce, there are more and more medical institutes build their own nurse information system (NIS). The system expects to provide nurses a platform they can utilize during their day-to-day clinical care activities. The goal of using NIS intends to mitigate the burden of nurses during their medical records writing, improve their care quality, and to promote patient safety. In any hospital, not only are most of the medical professionals nurses, but they are also the direct care providers to patients. Therefore, their participations and standpoints play a key role when to evaluate and implement the nurse information system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of implementing NIS, and to discuss several issues affecting a successful deployment from the perspectives of nurses who are the major users of the information system. The methodology is based on the theory of Technology Acceptance Model, TAM. The researcher adopted a Cross-Sectional study method for survey and data collection. 167 questionnaires were handed out to subjects. 158 valid questionnaires, about 94.6 percent were collected, and these data were analyzed by using software including SPSS and PLS. The data analysis depicts that the most significant factors that influence the willingness of nurses to use NIS are their degrees of satisfaction and their usefulness perceptions towards the system. A nurse information system being able to provide functions that lead to characteristics such as usefulness and convenience, avoidance of tedious repeat writing, and improvement of care quality will make nurses feel satisfied about the system and thus stimulate their interests in using NIS on their work. Item analysis revealed that nurses asked very willing to learn and use care information systems, and can be trained to operate him. This result can be used as hospital managers to understand nurses' willingness to use nursing information systems, and can also be served as references for future development of similar information system in the hospital.

To date, information security is essential for most firms. Researchers have traced recent implementation failures to a lack of professionals and techniques of information security. Therefore, firms are shifted to consider using information security outsourcing. Yet, information security outsourcing is likely to meet some problems that result in many firms do not know whether to accept information security outsourcing. Therefore, this study will explore the impact factors of information security outsourcing services of firms’ acceptance. In this study, by applying the extended outsourcing acceptance model (EOAM), transaction cost theory (TCT), and technology readiness (TR), we proposed an information security outsourcing acceptance model (ISOAM) and took an extended perspective to explain this issue. We designed a questionnaire to survey decision-makers who have the power to make decisions or outsourcing staffs. In a questionnaire, we analyzed the data using structured equation modeling (SEM) to test the strength of the hypothesized relationships, if any, among the constructs, which include transaction cost, prior outsourcing relationship and technology readiness as independent variables, perceived usefulness, perceived risks and attitude of information security outsourcing as intervening variables, and intention to accept information security outsourcing as the dependent variable. The result provided support of ISOAM and confirmed its robustness in predicting decision-makers intention to accept information security outsourcing services. This study contributes the literature to follow by formulating and validating ISOAM to predict information security outsourcing services, and its findings provide useful information for firms or vendors to draw up in strategies of information security outsourcing. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

As the Internet of global is glooming in today’s information age, Web-based Learning is the trend of modern distance education development. There is difference between face-to-face learning and learning on World Wide Web. The web-based learning system creates an interactive learning environment, which includes a lot of rich information and managed knowledge. This study empirically examines TAM model reported by Davis, F D in 1989,the relationship between E-Learning intensity and the Perceived usefulness and Perceived ease of use . The effective of professional characteristic and organization attitude to E-Learning intensity and the Perceived usefulness and Perceived ease of use is concerned and discussed. Compared with Taiwan and Mainland China information professional the difference. Based on the questionnaires, the paper analysis the difference of professional characteristics of Taiwan and Mainland China .Compared with Taiwan and Mainland China information professional, the professional in China take less time in browsing Internet, and they are usually more competitive and less loyalty. the professional in Taiwan takes more interest in learning on WWW. It can be concluded that better computer-efficiency and self-expected can promote the professional to accept the way of Web-based learning, and the Web-based learning can enhance one’s learning ability or not would be discussed in the future.

Information Technology (IT) application has become popular in the modern generation. Almost every enterprise establishes the information system to improve its production or service depending on its organization needs. But the investment on IT increases yearly and do not bring reciprocal income. One of the reasons is the degree of the employees’ acceptance toward information science and technology is not high enough, and the enterprise performance is not highly influence by IT. Therefore, to understand and to consider the factor of new science and technology usage and to implement the successful and satisfactory information system seems to be very important. Similarly, it has been a worldwide focus on applying IT to the learning domain, and a principal educational policy on integrating IT with teaching. Many schools have been integrated into an e-Portfolio which has been used as the tool of teaching innovation in teaching and evaluation. The main purpose of this research is to carry on investigating analysis and to inquire into student''s usage attitude, user''s satisfaction and usage intention for "e-Portfolio” based on Information System Success Model and TAM. According to the research object, students of different back ground use e-Portfolio, which holds discrepancy and correlation of student’s usage attitude will help development and popular usage of e-Portfolio in the school and make teacher and student reach the reference of the object of e-Portfolio application of the learning process.

Now in this business environment full of fierce globalization competition, the contest between each company has had the changeover from simple competition between manufacturers to supply chains; owing to the progress in leaps and bounds of information technology, and the rapid development of internet and E-commerce, using information technology to manage such complicated supply chain activities has become the weapon for each enterprise to create competitive advantage. We used to focus on the technical part of this supply chain technology information research, and pay not much attention to the study of the effect of intentions of enterprises’ ideas adoptions, but for supply chain information technology which would results in broad-spectrum effect, the value of studying the effect of such intentions is not second to technical part research. This research combines three dimensions of factors from the research of “transaction environment”, “organizational factors”, “system supply side”, and use Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a basis to construct the research model and research hypothesis. We take first 1,000 manufacturing enterprises in Taiwan as sampling frame of potential respondents, and mail questionnaires to them to proceed research as empirical study in order to probe the affecting factors of enterprises’ supply chain management system cognition and adoption intention effects. Research result reveals that when a company is in a “ highly competitive, uncertain, and mutual-trust integrating ” transaction environment , this company would have better idea of perceived usefulness of supply chain management information technology and adoption intention than one in a “lowly competitive, steady and loose-linked “ transaction environment; as last we use structural equation modeling(SEM) to verify the causal relationship between each latent variable in research model, and result shows that adoption intention of supply chain management related information technology of each enterprise is mainly affected by “perceived usefulness” and “firm size”, and the effect of “perceived ease of use” and “ adoption intention” is not significant; ”perceived usefulness” is affected by ”perceived ease of use”, “information technology infrastructure”, ” transaction climate”; ”top management support”; “perceived ease of use” is affected by “system vendor’s reputation”, “information technology infrastructure”, ”consultant support”, “transaction climate”, “product complexity” and “cost”.

Full textAbstract:
Information Technology has been a significant research area for some time, but its nature has changed considerably since the Internet became prominent just over a decade ago. Many researchers have studied and proposed theories and models of technology acceptance in order to predict and explain user behaviour with technology to account for rapid change in both technologies and their environments. Each theory or model has been proposed with different sets of determinants and moderators and most of them have been developed in the U.S. It is therefore questioned whether the theories and models of technology acceptance that have been developed, modified, and extended in the U.S. can be used in other countries, especially in Thailand. It is also questioned whether there might be other determinants and moderators that also play important roles in this specific environment. This thesis (1) reviewed literature in respect of nine prominent theories and models, (2) reviewed previous literature about IT acceptance and usage within four contexts of study, (3) investigated the extent to which academics use and intend to use the Internet in their work, (4) investigated how to motivate academics to make full use of the Internet in their work, (5) investigated to what extent using the Internet helps in improving academics’ professional practice, professional development and quality of working life, (6) formulated a research model of technology acceptance regarding Internet usage by Thai academics, and (7) generated and validated the research model that best describes Thai academics’ Internet usage behaviour and behaviour intention. These last two objectives represent the main focus of the thesis. Questionnaire survey method was used to collect primary data from 927 academics within Business Schools in 20 Public Universities in Thailand. The survey yielded 455 usable questionnaires, with a response rate of 49%. Statistical analysis methods and Structural Equation Modelling with AMOS version 6.0 were used to analyse data. The research model was formulated with five core determinants of usage and up to nine moderators of key relationships. It was then tested and modified, the final modified model evidenced by goodness of fit of the model to the data, explained 31.6% (Square Multiple Correlation) of the variance in usage behaviour in teaching , 42.6% in usage behaviour in other tasks, 55.7% in behaviour intention in teaching and 59.8% in behaviour intention in other tasks. From the findings, three core determinants: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and self-efficacy significantly determined usage behaviour in teaching. Two core determinants: perceived usefulness and self-efficacy significantly determined usage behaviour in other tasks. Finally, usage behaviour significantly influenced behaviour intention. In addition three moderators: age, e-university plan and level of reading and writing, impacted the influence of key determinants toward usage behaviour. Only two moderators: age and research university plan, impacted the influence of usage behaviour toward behaviour intention. The rest including gender, education level, academic position, experience and Thai language usage did not impact the influence of the key determinants toward usage behaviour and did not impact the influence of usage behaviour toward behaviour intention. Consequently, the final modified research model which is called the “Internet Acceptance Model” or “IAM” has the power to explain and predict user behaviour in a Thai Business Schools environment. A thorough understanding of the model may help practitioners to analyse the reasons for resistance toward the technology and also help them to take efficient measures to improve user acceptance and usage of the technology.

Despite the fact that information security systems have become more effective and user-friendly, they still can’t effectively appeal to user for smoothly and effective use. In part, it is due to the complexity of the system and unpredictable nature of security events and caused impact. This study aims at exploring the impact of human factors on the adoption of information security system as an attempt to provide a holistic viewpoint into the deployment of information security system. The case of National Taxation Information System in Taiwan was examined. In this system, around 17.6 billions tax payers information are processed annually and the information handling are under strict regulation for the protection of data and personal information privacy. By combining technology acceptance model and big five personality traits, a research model is proposed in which the personality traits are regarded as moderator to the system acceptance. More than a hundred of users at the tax bureau participated in the survey study. The results indicate that perceived usefulness and ease of use significantly affect the user’s behavior intention. Several personalities did play the role in moderating the user’s behavior intention on the use of information security system.

To promote all levels of disaster relief operations, each government planned to build the disaster information system. Most previous research related to information systems into most users’ satisfaction and willingness as a basis on expectation confirmation theory (ECT). In this study, we extended the post acceptance model (PAM) which was extended from ECT, with information quality, system quality and service quality. According the user experiences of the Highway Administration of Disaster, we collected the feedback by questionnaires. This study adopted partial least squares to analyze the proposed research model, to explore the impact between the various dimensions. Finally, we proposed the managerial implication and discussion for the design guidelines of disaster information system.

Deming ) 博士所倡導的「全面品質管理 」( Total Quality Management )概念指出：員工的參與才能有效的解 決問題，因為員工最了解制度，而且最清楚癥結所在。這樣的提示，雖早 被管理者重視且廣泛地運用在組織活動的設計範疇中，不過，就參與效能 的評估與改善，仍有不少值得再予強調的課題。本研究既係依此觀點，藉 由檢視使用者參與行政管理資訊系統發展過程之現象，提供一個思索的空 間。整體研究架構，以檢證Davis 所提出的技術接受性模式為基準，同時 透過此一模式了解使用者參與在系統使用行為上造成模糊結果的原因，進 而提醒行政管理者，在系統發展或執行過程，勿陷入以效率掛帥的功能主 義典範窠臼，對於溝通、平等與尊重等新人性主義典範所揭示的概念應予 適度關注。也就是說，在民主的工作環境下，應將本身視為組織生活的目 的，而非僅有工具性價值；參與效能的評估不僅須針對「結果」而且應顧 及「過程」。在上述要旨下，關於研究實體部分，經就文獻分析、實證調 查結果的發現與筆者實務經驗，提出以下結論與建議：一、技術接受性模 式，尚可適度詮釋國內行政管理資訊系統使用者的使用行為。惟其適用的 分析情境、態度與行為關係之假定，仍有再作深入探究之必要。二、參與 及系統使用行為關係之研究，不僅可透過置入中介變項的權變研究觀點來 了解，分析使用者在這二行為間的心理歷程，對於改善參與效能而言，亦 是一種可行的途徑。三、使用者對系統有用性及簡易性的認知，是影響系 統使用態度、意向及行為的二大要素。其中有用性的認知更具決定性地位 。四、使用者參與效能的模糊結果，除了源於理論欠紮實、研究模式過於 簡化，以及研究方法上的瑕疵以外，研究上未仔細區辨系統使用情境之差 異亦為主因。不過，參與究非萬靈丹，無定論的結果，並不代表即是一種 錯誤。五、參與效能的改善，除了管理當局的支持與專家協助以外，有賴 從加強系統發展者與使用者的教育訓練著手。六、自主性的系統使用情境 下，使用行為( 頻率 )始能較正確地詮釋使用者接受程度。七、未來應重 視以系統發展者與使用者互動作為分析單元的研究。至於在行政管理實務 上，本研究所欲表達的主要意念是：員工的參與及評估的步驟是缺一不可 的。因為，沒有評估的參與，則參與無法發揮實際的效果，充其量僅具象 徵性的價值；而僅有評估卻無參與活動，這樣的評估除了可能是膚淺、不 切實際以外，在實務上存在的機率亦不大。公部門的決策及管理階層，面 對高度層級節制的組織文化，能否擺脫「官大學問大」心態，而以恢宏的 胸襟與氣度，善用與因應來自員工的意見，塑造具有參與效能的情境，將 是成功地推展各項事務最基本的前提要件。

For many students, smart phone has become an indispensible element in their lives, with campus information system today also integrating internal information, acting as a bridge. In this way, students can connect the mobile phone to network and gain access easily to information about activities on campus. In this study, based on, Davis (1989) “Technology Acceptance Model, TAM , Davis (1989)”as research framework, we conduct the research, from the user''s perspective through the "School Activities Information System", developed by researchers, combining the concept in innovation feature from “Diffusion of Innovations, DOI” with three external influence dimensions: "Compatibility", "Result Demonstrability", and "Convenience", and propose the integration research model, "Information navigation services". With this model, we conduct the empirical research according to users’ behavioral motive on adopting the “Campus activities Information System”, expecting to understand the main factors that affect users’ behavioral intention on adopting new information technology, and to provide relevant personnel reference on designing campus activities information system in the future. The study collected 152 valid questionnaires from internet survey. Through structural equation, we conduct quantitative and statistical analysis. The results show that both "Compatibility” and "Result Demonstrability" as well as “Convenience” have significant influences on "perceived usefulness." Also, “perceived usefulness” and “perceived usability” have direct and significant impact on users’ intention on adopting campus information navigation system, which means “Compatibility”, “Result Demonstrability”, and “Convenience” show significant influence on behavioral intention on adopting new system. Consequently, through the empirical result from this study, we can improve the weakness on developing following systems, and thus provide service with more convenient and more useful functions as well as content with high quality.

The technology of information and communication has dramatic developed in recent years. The public sectors always adapt varied of related equipments or facilitates to simplify operational processes and to improve efficiency. Would it guarantee the desired results when public substantial budget purchased of new equipment? There is a gap between the publicly known statistics reports and the users’ actual feelings. Under the decision-making assessment, it is noteworthy to evaluate how to manage and maintain the information technology equipment and operations for the purpose of obtaining the efficiency of technology management. The study designed the TAM questionnaire with basis on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the new information systems success model, which combined seven factors and 29 items of affecting system. The policemen who use the mobile information devices (M-Police mobile computer) in Kaohsiung City were sampling. The Public Technology Acceptance Model (PTAM) would be applied to interpret the interaction situation of “the pros and cons of the equipment” and “users’ capabilities”, followed with the design of management questionnaires and the compiled viewpoints of the industry executives and the police department managers. The study showed that of the public sector would make the equipments purchase strategy based on the analysis result of APAA process (with the steps of "assessment", "procurement", "application", and "effect analysis") to buy, lease or rent off. It would set up a contract clearly defined the provider’s the responsibilities and obligations and establish the expertise mechanisms to evaluate the effectiveness of the equipments. Effective promotion management of equipments purchase project would affect mostly on several key aspects such as setting up a dedicated person on management and operations, users training, improving the users’ intention and satisfaction, reward systems, applying the mechanisms of the evaluation effectiveness and archiving the responding strategies. Operated with both hardware and software, the current mobile information systems could promptly transfer the requested information, to and fro, through the wireless communication network. However, today''s smart phones and the flat computers with powerful computing and functions could be replaced traditional huge heavy equipments. Therefore, both the touching mode phone and flat screen combined the customization of particular operations software; it could largely reduce the expenses of the hardware purchase and minimize the police’s burden of carrying too much equipment on duty.
