The examination of Windows technology in a single organization indicates that users and potential adopters of information technology differ on their determinants of behavioral intention, attitude, and subjective norm.
Decision SciencesA Model of the Antecedents of Perceived Ease of Use: Development and Test
2,869 Citations1996Viswanath Venkatesh, Fred D. Davis
Data from three experiments supported the hypothesis that an individual's perception of a particular system's ease of use is anchored to her or his general computer self-efficacy at all times, and objective usability has an impact on ease-of- use perceptions about a specific system only after direct experience with the system.
MIS QuarterlyGender Differences in the Perception and Use of E-Mail: An Extension to the Technology Acceptance Model1
2,212 Citations1997David Gefen, Detmar W. Straub
It is suggested that researchers should include gender in IT diffusion models along with other cultural effects, suggesting that more favorable communications environments might be created, environments that take into account not only organizational contextual factors, but also the gender of users.
Journal of Management Information SystemsExamining the Technology Acceptance Model Using Physician Acceptance of Telemedicine Technology
1,940 Citations1999Paul Jen‐Hwa Hu, Patrick Y.K. Chau +2 more
The results suggested that TAM was able to provide a reasonable depiction of physicians' intention to use telemedicine technology, and suggested both the limitations of the parsimonious model and the need for incorporating additional factors or integrating with other IT acceptance models in order to improve its specificity and explanatory utility in a health-care context.

MIS QuarterlyPersonal Computing Acceptance Factors in Small Firms: A Structural Equation Model1
1,680 Citations1997Magid Igbaria, Nancy Zinatelli +2 more
The findings indicate that perceived ease of use is a dominant factor in explaining perceived usefulness and system usage, and that perceived usefulness has a strong effect on system usage.
Management ScienceEmpirical Evaluation of the Revised Technology Acceptance Model
1,659 Citations1996Bernadette Szajna
A confirmatory, empirical test of the revised Technology Acceptance Model TAM confirmed that the TAM is a valuable tool for predicting intentions to use an IS and introduced and objective measure of technology acceptance, actual usage rather than self-report usage, which supports that self- report usage may not be an appropriate surrogate measure for actual usage.
Decision SciencesInformation Technology Acceptance by Individual Professionals: A Model Comparison Approach*
1,406 Citations2001Patrick Y.K. Chau, Paul Jen‐Hwa Hu
Results of the study highlight several plausible limitations of TAM and TPB in explaining or predicting technology acceptance by individual professionals and suggest that instruments that have been developed and repeatedly tested in previous studies involving end users and business managers in ordinary business settings may not be equally valid in a professional setting.
Journal of Management Information SystemsAn Empirical Assessment of a Modified Technology Acceptance Model
1,062 Citations1996Patrick Y.K. Chau
The results of the study showed that, even though perceived near-term usefulness had the most significant influence on the behavioral intention to use a technology, perceived long- term usefulness also exerted a positive, though lesser, impact.
