Information technology and the Internet are becoming increasingly important in daily life for acquiring knowledge or information. Unfortunately, although the population aged over 50 is increasing, many current websites are not suitable for their use (Payne, 2002; Ryu, Kim, & Lee, 2009). We constructed a research model based on the technology acceptance model (TAM; Davis, 1986) and analyzed acceptance of accessible page systems by people aged over 50, using the Taoyuan Gueishan Township Office website as a representative sample. Results revealed a strong inclination toward using the websites and most users rated the webpage as easy to use and said it was a positive learning experience. The tangible benefits of this study are that the requirements for websites by those in the 50+ age group are identified, web developers can use the results to design a suitable website, and thus the results could lead to the development of more accessible pages for those ages 50 and over.

In 2004 the campus information system began to use the internet as an academic tool between students, lecturers, study programs, finance. In the system, there are several models of communication processes built, one of which is the existence of facilities for the content and values of staff, in addition to announcements, academics, finance, and college approval. To find out the causal relationship between the factors that influence the level of campus student acceptance for users. This research includes Exploration research using the Technology Acceptance Model, expenditure using AMOS software. In the Normal Ranking Table, you can see the value in column c.r. All in the recommended amount from -2.58 to 2.58. Therefore, it can be announced that the data is normally distributed, Mahalanobis d-squared assesses that there is nothing greater than the table, which means that it is not an outlier and the determinant value of the covariance matrix obtained is 51345,276 far from zero, it can be concluded that there are no multicollinearity and singularity problems in the analyzed data iso that the data is declared valid. Based on the Final Research Model, it can be accepted that the benefit variable requires acceptance of campus students. After utilizing comfort, take advantage when using. Based ion this phenomenon, it can be used, the use of "voluntary" technology that is used using codes of conduct, attitudes, and intentions in an application. In this case, it can be concluded that respondents "voluntarily" use.

BACKGROUND Many theories/ models adopted from behavioral sciences literature or developed within the field of information technologies could help in understanding the technology acceptance, usage, and effective adoption. OBJECTIVE The main aim of this paper is to review the different theories/ models that can help in understanding information technology/system acceptance and use, and to choose the most appropriate theoretical framework that could be applied to understand the factors influencing physicians’ use of the Electronic Health Record system (EHR) at King Fahd Military Medical Complex (KFMMC) in Dhahran city, Saudi Arabia. METHODS The theories/ models were reviewed using scientific databases. The inclusion criteria were if the theories/ models used to explain individual behaviors toward accepting and using of information technology including the once conducted within the healthcare. RESULTS The review showed that there were five theories/ models were used within information technology studies to understand the technology acceptance and used. There were Theory of Reasoned Action, Theory of Planned Behaviour, Innovation Diffusion Theory, Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, and Technology Acceptance Model. Each has different explanatory power of technology use. The most appropriate theoretical framework to understand the reason behind physician use of the EHR at KFMMC would be the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). TAM model could explain up to 75% of the variation in the behavioral intention (acceptance), and up to 62% of the variation in the actual use. It is the gold standard for assessing the usage of health technologies and systems. In fact, the TAM model is one of the core models used to explore the physician’s perceptions of the Electronic Health Record system adoption. CONCLUSIONS This review showed that there are different theories available in the literature can be used to justify the reason behind electronic health record acceptance. TAM is one of the effective, simplest models used to understand the factors influencing physicians to use the EHR-system. Further studies need to apply the TAM model to check its ability in explaining the reason behind EHR within different hospitals in Saudi Arabia

Abstract: A Behavioral Study on Middle-Class Consumers in Adopting M-Commerce in East Java. The objective of this study is to examine factors that influence the behavioral intention of consumers in using and adopting m-commerce. This study combines Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT). The data of this study were collected through a survey and samples were selected by using convenience sampling technique with SEM-PLS requirement as many as ten times the number of paths. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The results of this study show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, and personal innovativeness affecs behavioral intention. Furthermore, behavioral intention affects actual user, i.e. consumers, to use and adopt m-commerce information technology. This study implies that vendors of m-commerce information technology and management should pay more attention to and reconsider perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence, personal innovativeness, behavioral intention, and consumers as actual users, when they make decision regarding adoption and appliance of m-commerce.Keywords: m-commerce information technology adoption, consumer behavior, Technology Acceptance Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, Innovation Diffusion TheoryAbstrak: Studi Keperilakuan Konsumen Kelas Menengah dalam Pengadopsian M-Commerce di Jawa Timur. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menguji faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi minat perilaku konsumen dalam menggunakan maupun mengadopsi m-commerce. Studi ini merupakan penggabungan model Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), dan Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT). Studi ini menggunakan metode survey, sampel dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik convenience sampling, dan teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah SEM-PLS. Studi ini menemukan bahwa konstruk persepsi kegunaan, persepsi kemudahan penggunaan, pengaruh sosial dan keinovatifan pribadi berpengaruh terhadap minat perilaku. Selanjutnya, studi ini juga menemukan bahwa minat perilaku berpengaruh terhadap pengguna yang sesungguhnya, yaitu konsumen, terkait dengan penggunaan maupun adopsi m-commerce. Implikasi studi ini adalah vendor layanan teknologi informasi m-commerce dan manajemen harus memperhatikan dan mempertimbangkan lagi persepsi kegunaan, persepsi kemudahan, pengaruh sosial, keinovatifan pribadi, minat perilaku dan konsumen sebagai pengguna sesungguhnya dalam mengambil keputusan terkait dengan pengenalan dan adopsi m-commerce.Kata kunci: Adopsi Teknologi Informasi M-commerce, Perilaku Konsumen, Technology Acceptance Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, Innovation Diffusion Theory

The technology acceptance model (TAM; Davis, 1989) has been widely used by information technology researchers to gain a better understanding of information technology (IT) adoption and its use in organizations. While TAM has been applied and tested in academic and corporate settings, involving students, business managers, and clerical and administrative types as participants, few studies have evaluated TAM in the healthcare environment. This chapter examines the applicability of the extended technology acceptance model (TAM2; Ventkatesh & Davis, 2000) in the context of physicians’ intention to adopt Internet-based health applications. Data was collected in a survey of pediatricians to see how well the extended model fits in the medical sector. This chapterdiscusses the implications, limitations, and possible explanations for the inconsistent results found within the model when applied to such professional users as physicians.

This research reviews studies using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to create a modified model and instrument to study the acceptance of Internet technology by consumers. We developed a modified TAM for the acceptance of Internet-based technologies by consumers. We retained the original constructs from the TAM and included additional constructs from previous literature including gender, experience, complexity, and voluntariness. We developed a survey instrument using existing scales from prior TAM instruments and modified them where appropriate. The instrument yielded respectable reliability and construct validity. The findings suggest that the modified TAM is a good predictor of consumer behavior in using the Internet. We found that attitude toward using the Internet acts as a strong predictor of behavioral intention to use, and actual usage of Internet technologies. Future researchers can use the resultant instrument to test how consumers adopt and accept Internet-based applications.
