TL;DR
A new model is developed that combined the key ideas of both TAM and TPB and showed that both models are necessary in understanding the unique role of each exogenous variable.
Abstract
In spite of many theoretical models, the role of exogenous factors in accepting object-oriented technology has not been satisfactorily demonstrated. By comparing two competing models, our study examined the role and location of exogenous variables in explaining user acceptance of object-oriented technology. Based on the results, we developed a new model that combined the key ideas of both TAM and TPB and showed that both models are necessary in understanding the unique role of each exogenous variable.
