Cloud technology is now becoming a valuable resource, as it provides cost-saving business technology. Businesses exist to earn a profit by keeping their capital and expenses low. In an attempt to address the issue, this study employs structural equation model to complement literature on users' technology acceptance behavior. The framework of the study was based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) to better understand the adoption of cloud computing by small businesses owners. This study looks at the perception and attitudes of small businesses (SMEs) towards cloud technology based accounting information systems, therefore, their intention to adopt the technology. Result support the view that perceived usefulness, ease of use and credibility positively influenced SMEs' attitudes towards cloud-based accounting information systems and therefore their intention to adopt the technology. The result enhances literature in the field of cloud-based accounting systems for small businesses.

Visual analytics is increasingly being recognized as a source of competitive advantage. Yet, limited research has examined the factors deriving it organizational adoption. By integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the task-technology fit (TTF) model, this research developed a model for visual analytics adoption in business enterprises. To test the research model, data was collected through a questionnaire survey distributed to 400 business professionals working in a variety of industries in Jordan. Collected data were tested and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Findings of this research confirmed the applicability of the integrated TAM/TTF model to explain the key factors that affect the adoption of visual analytics systems for work-related tasks. Specifically, the results of this research demonstrated that the task, technology, and user characteristics are fundamental and influential antecedents of TTF, which in turn has a significant positive effect on the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of visual analytics systems. Additionally, there are significant positive effects from perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use toward users' intention to adopt visual analytics systems, and a firm relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of visual analytics systems. Together all these constructs explain 59.9% of the variance in user's intention to adopt visual analytics systems at the workplace. Findings of this research provide several important implications for research and practice, and thus should help in the design and development of more user-accepted visual analytics systems and applications.

AbstractThis study aims to verify and propose a modified technology acceptance model (TAM) to understand the antecedents of e-textbook adoption among college students. An extended TAM is to investigate college students’ intention to adopt e-textbooks. Measurement items were drawn and modified from existing validated scales. After data were collected from college students in Taiwan, structural equation modelling was employed to examine and compare the proposed model with the original model. Moreover, two tests were conducted to determine the extent of common method variance in the current data. The empirical findings support the inclusion of perceived enjoyment in the TAM. The proposed model explained 43% of the variance in behavioural intention, but explained 71% of the variance in attitudes, suggesting an explication of how the different determinants influence college students’ adoption of e-textbooks. The significance of the chi-square difference between the two models indicates that our proposed model shows a better fit to the data than the TAM does. Besides, perceived enjoyment is a critical factor in the influence of attitudes towards the usage of e-textbooks. Perceived ease of use is more influential than perceived usefulness in the determination of attitudes.

The increasing popularity of self-service analytics (SSA) is empowering business users to analyze data and generate actionable insights autonomously. While there are many benefits to SSA tools, there is a scarcity of research on the factors influencing their adoption in business organizations. This article presents an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) that incorporates the task-technology fit (TTF), compatibility, and user empowerment as critical antecedents of users' intention to adopt SSA tools for reporting and analytics tasks. To test the proposed model, data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 211 business users working in different industries in Jordan. The collected data were analysed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of this study demonstrate that the task-technology fit, compatibility, and user empowerment are significant predictors of users' perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of SSA tools. Both of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have a positive effect on users' intention to adopt SSA tools. Collectively, all these factors account for 51.6 percent of the variance in the behavioral intention. The findings of this study provide several key implications for research and practice, and thus should contribute to the design and adoption of more user-accepted SSA tools and applications.

This study investigates adoption/use behavior within the context of Hong Kong Internet Banking services. A research framework based on the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2) and Social Cognitive Theory is developed to identify factors that would influence the adoption and continue use of Internet Banking. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is employed to examine the entire pattern of inter-correlations among the eight proposed constructs, and to test related propositions empirically. A survey involving a total of 499 university students is conducted and confirmatory factor analysis used to determine the measurement efficacies. The results reveal that both subjective norm and computer self-efficacy indirectly play significant roles in influencing the intention to adopt Internet Banking. Perceived ease of use has a significant indirect effect on intention to adopt/use through perceived usefulness, while its direct effect on intention to adopt is not significant.

Accounting information systems acceptance and use has been a research interest for many researchers in recent years. Research in this area has employed several models related to technology acceptance and adoption. Factors that influence users’ acceptance and intention of use were investigated based on the pre-implementation perception of users regarding the usefulness of the systems, ease of use, and many other factors. In contrast, this study provides evidence on the post-implementation acceptance of the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) information system as a result of familiarity with the system and the realized benefits rather than expected. A questionnaire survey is used for data collection from different sized manufacturing companies. To analyze the hypothesized model, data obtained from non-adopters of ABC or adopters at the early stage of adoption were excluded from the analysis. In total, 83 valid responses were collected and used in the analysis. The findings indicate that user acceptance of ABC as a managerial accounting information system was enforced by the wider extent of use and the mediation of reported benefits that were realized by users (departments) of the system. Further, the acceptance of the system mediates the extent of use and the magnitude of reported benefits in their positive effect on the organizational intention to retain the system. These results guide companies that establish a new accounting information system, which may encounter a certain level of resistance, to make the benefits of the system implementation visible to all departments to create acceptance for the system and maximize the benefits of its use.

M-commerce has very rapidly developed into a very powerful way of reaching out to the consumer. M-commerce has been a massive success in terms of users’ adoption in some markets like Japan, while, astonishingly, not as thriving in others. However, its acceptance and level of adoption are low in Palestine compared to other countries. The research main objective is to classify the key variables that influence the acceptance of M-commerce among higher education students in Palestine by developing an M-commerce adoption Model based on an extension of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).  A total of 430 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, personnel innovation, security and privacy, subjective norms, and perceived trust are found to have an important effect on consumer behavioral intention to adopt M-commerce. These results will benefit stakeholders involved in M-commerce activities such as service providers, retailers, consumers, academicians, and students.
