Technolody Acceptance Model

Reviewing the literature by focusing on the application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of mobile shopping.

Acceptance, a word with so much meaning, yet so little impact. The world today struggles to accept, from ones choice of words to their race. The texts analyzed are “My So Called Enemy” by Lisa Gossels, “Texas vs. Johnson” by William J. Brennan and “American Flag stands for Tolerance” by Ronald J. Allen in which they demonstrate how people should be accepted along with their opinions. Instead of judging each other we should be coming together to help one another find a way to accept our diversity.

Among them, behavioral theories are primary theories which have been used in the field of e-government to address the issues related to user adoption decisions. Behavioral theories are used by scholars to identify the behavior of people for a new innovation through general accepted principles. Extant literature reveals that different scholars have come across with behavioral theories and have labeled differently. Among them, Theory of Psychological Field (Kurt Lewin), Theory of Behavior Modification (Albrecht et al., 1987), Hohenheim Diffusion Theory (Hoffmann, 2006), Diffusion of Innovation Theory (Rogers, 2003) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) have used in the scientific investigations related to new innovations. However, it could be found only Diffusion of Innovation Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior have considered on the e-government adoption research field and behavioral adoption theories which are more important for the ongoing investigation are discussed lengthily in the next

To further develop the model, Venkatesh & Davis (2000) added new constructs that came from social environment and rational process. They believed that these constructs will be able to explain causal relationship of the model. The new constructs in Technology Acceptance Model 2 are:

There have been several theoretical models employed to study user acceptance and usage behavior of new information technologies. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, Bagozzi, & Warshaw, 1989; Davis, 1989) is the most widely applied model, which is adapted from the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980). TRA is one of the most influential models in social psychology (Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003), and describes that behavior is determined by the behavioral intention to perform it, which is determined by the attitude of the person and the subjective norm (Straub, 2009). TAM (figure 1) worked further on this concept and suggests two specific beliefs (perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness) that determine one’s behavioral intention to use technology (Davis, 1989). TAM further posits that perceived usefulness will be influenced by perceived ease of use, since the easier a technology is to use, the more useful it can be (Venkatesh, 2000). TAM has received extensive empirical support through validation, applications, and replications over the years which proved TAM to be robust across time, settings, populations, and technologies (Venkatesh, 2000). In this research we will limit ourselves to one of the aspects proposed by the TAM: perceived ease of use.

This dissertation aims to elucidate the critical factors that pertain to widespread technology adoption in organisations, with regards to radical IT innovations, whilst also highlighting the issues that stymie technology adoption.
