TL;DR
This research introduces a criterion variable that measures intentions as a choice among sevearl alternatives with subjects actually expecting to use their choice.
Abstract
Information technology (IT) researchers repeatedly insist upon the rigorous validation of measuring instruments, yet most IT instruments remain at an early stage of development.The Technology Acceptance Model indicate that perceived usefulness and ease of use will influence an individual's intentios to use an information technology. This research introduces a criterion variable that measures intentions as a choice among sevearl alternatives with subjects actually expecting to use their choice.

Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.

Two studies that replicate previous work by Fred Davis on the subject of perceived usefulness, ease of use, and usage of information technology focus on evaluating the psychometric properties of the ease ofUse and usefulness scales, while examining the relationship between ease ofuse, usefulness, and system usage.

2,530 Citations1989Detmar W. Straub
An operating paradigm for renewal along dimensions previously unstressed is offered and it is argued that confirmatory empirical findings will be strengthened when instrument validation precedes both internal and statistical conclusion validity and that, in many situations, MIS researchers need to validate their research instruments.

Adams, et al. (1992) replicated the work of Davis (1989) on the test-retest reliability of the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use scales and found both scales to have the same validity and reliability characteristics as the study.

Suggestions are offered to experimental IS researchers on how some of these common problems in experimental IS studies can be alleviated or even avoided, particularly in studies on the use of managerial graphics.

Subjects' assessment of the quality of MIS research is relatively low and they feel there is an overemphasis on transient topics, rather than on topics of lasting significance, and continuing evidence of fragmentation in the field.

A procedure that overcomes difficulties for selection problems with known alternatives is presented, an implicit enumeration procedure based on properties of preference theory, and would be simple to implement in an interactive decision setting involving selection from among a set of known alternatives.
