Abstract
The technology acceptance model (TAM) proposes that ease of use and usefulness predict applications usage. The current research investigated TAM for work-related tasks with the World Wide Web as the application. One hundred and sixty-three subjects responded to an e-mail survey about a Web site they access often in their jobs. The results support TAM. They also demonstrate that (1) ease of understanding and ease of finding predict ease of use, and that (2) information quality predicts usefulness for revisited sites. In effect, the investigation applies TAM to help Web researchers, developers, and managers understand antecedents to users' decisions to revisit sites relevant to their jobs.

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.

3,091 Citations1992Dennis A. Adams, R. Ryan Nelson +1 more
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.
MIS QuarterlyAssessing IT Usage: The Role of Prior Experience
2,889 Citations1995Shirley Taylor, Peter Todd
A variety of models that incorporate attitudinal, social, and control factor have been advanced to explain IT usage, but it is unclear whether models such as TAM are predictive of behavior for inexperienced users and whether the determinants of IT usage are the same for experienced and inexperienced users of a 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.
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.

It was demonstrated that while perceived usefulness had consistently strong effects on all usage dimensions, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment affected each specific usage dimension differently.

The tested conceptual model confirms the effects of individual, organizational, and system characteristics on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness and confirms the importance of EUC support and management support, as well as the need for designing mechanisms to improve user perceptions of microcomputers.

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.

Conceptual as well as methodological issues related to measuring system usage are addressed and it is suggested that system usage should be factored into self-reported system usage and computer-recorded system usage.

893 Citations1992Richard P. Bagozzi, Fred D. Davis +1 more
A new theoretical model is introduced, the theory of trying, in which computer learning is conceptualized as a goal determined by three attitude components: attitude toward success, attitude toward failure, and attitude toward the process of goal pursuit.
