Information services are very important to attract tourists to come to a certain country or location which can be provided through e-Tourism application. This application is for people who will find out more about the location they will visit. People need to know the location, the length of the trip or the price details for each item they will buy during the trip. Due to this, many countries have developed their respective e-Tourism application. This paper presented the lesson-learn of e-Tourism development from several countries to understand main components of e-Tourism design. We found four main modules of e-Tourism application including booking services, recommender services, tour plan services and information center services. The human factors of application intention usage are influenced by perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, experience, information quality, domain specific innovativeness. Moreover, we also obtained the factors influenced tourism tour booking intention, including advice of travel agent, e-commerce feature, access time, possibility of comparison, information obtained from destinations, social media and opinions & perception target.

User satisfaction with information system quality has long been a substantial topic in the literature of information system (IS). Based on the key constructs of IS success model (including system quality and information quality) and technology acceptance model (including perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness), this paper builds and validates a theoretical framework to explain user satisfaction with information system quality. A survey study with AMOS-SEM analysis of 363 users of management information systems in 9 hospitals in HCMC, Vietnam showed that 12 of 14 hypotheses were empirically supported. The findings affirmed the direct influence of system quality, information quality and top management support on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and trust, and then on user satisfaction. The results also reinforced the impact of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness, and the joint influence of perceived usefulness and trust on user satisfaction. The paper is among the first studies, in the healthcare sector, to empirically identify both information system quality and top management support in predicting user acceptance of and satisfaction with information system implementation in organizational settings. The theoretical and managerial implications of the paper were derived.

This empirical study aims to examine the factors that Online Shopping Users exhibit which can be used to help the online shopping platforms further work on their online presence in order to make sure that all potential users stay on their platforms and most of all, are content using their platforms. Personality, Web Experiences, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude were used to determine how these factors affect Online Shoppers. A survey (Google Forms) was distributed via social media and social messengers which comprised of virtually infinite respondents. The results showed that most of our respondents are not akin to finding the perceived usability or perceived ease of use of online shopping irrespective they have a certain online leadership style, or are impulsive buyers, and are also not deterred even if they are satisfied with a website or are security conscious. But if they end up finding an online system useful and user-friendly, they will definitely intend to come back to the online portal again for future purchases. This research was conducted inside Pakistan comprising respondents distributed in different cities due to the questionnaire being circulated via online mediums. Future researchers can employ the same model to conduct the same research in another country. This study proposes a framework to quantitatively analyzing the link between different aspects of Personality and different aspects of Web Experiences with Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use, and furthermore the Attitude of the respondents towards Online Shopping Platforms.

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dan Webqual merupakan teori penerimaan  teknologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Terdapat lima konstruk yang  digunakan dan merupakan gabungan dari konstruk-konstruk asli yang terdapat dalam TAM dan Webqual. Kelima konstruk tersebut adalah kemudahan pengguna persepsi (perceived ease of use / PEOU), kegunaan persepsi (perceived  usefulness / PU), kualitas interaksi layanan  (Service Interaction Quality of Website/ Web-SQ), kualitas informasi (Information Quality of Website/ Web-IQ), dan minat perilaku menggunakan teknologi (behavioral intention to use / BIUS). Model gabungan ini selanjutnya digunakan untuk meneliti sistem ujian online berbayar dengan studi kasus qualitiva.id. Penelitian ini selanjutnya akan menjelaskan tentang penerimaan sistem ujian online berbayar  pada pelajar, mahasiswa dan masyarakat umum. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksplanatori dengan teknik analisis data menggunakan pendekatan PLS. Data diperoleh dari responden yang merupakan siswa LKP PalComTech Palembang dengan menyebarkan kuesioner tertutup. Terdapat 142 sampel penelitian yang dianalisis menggunakan metode PLS dengan software smartPLS. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data diperoleh hasil sebagai berikut: (1) Konstruk PEOU mempengaruhi konstruk AT; (2) Konstruk PU mempengaruhi konstruk AT; (3) Konstruk AT pengaruh terhadap konstruk BIUS; (4) Konstruk Web-SQ  tidak memiliki  pengaruh  terhadap  konstruk BIUS;  (5)  Konstruk Web-IQ mempengaruhi konstruk BIUS; dan (6) Konstruk BIUS tidak memiliki pengaruh terhadap konstruk BV;. Selain itu koefisien variabel laten PU terhadap AT memiliki nilai paling besar diantara nilai koefisien variabel laten pada model hubungan antar konstruk lainnya

<p><em>The purpose of this study aims to empirically test the effect of information quality on perceived usefulness, the effect of information quality on perceived ease of use, and the effect of perceived ease of use on perceived usefulness. This study uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed by Davis (1999) to evaluate perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.The method of data analysis in this research using analysis of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) - Partial Least Square (PLS) with PLS 3.0.The resultd of this study showed that (1) Quality of information positively affects perceived usefulness, (2) Quality of information positively affects perceived ease of use, and (3) Perceived ease of use positively affects perceived usefulness. The limitations of this study were as follows: (1) The inherent limitations of the data obtained through the questionnaire, due to differences in the authors' perceptions ofthe research respondents, (2) Limitations of the number of accounting student respondents who are following the course of Accounting Introduction Practicum, and (3) Limitations on the selection of accounting software samples used are limited only to the use of the ACCURATE software. Subsequent research suggested that (1) Consider other independent variables that may influence perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, such as user satisfaction and user intent, and (2) Increase the sample size of respondents in this case not only students who are taking the course Practicum Introduction to Accounting, but also students who have taken the course before</em></p>

Many e-learning studies have evaluated learning attitudes and behaviors based on TAM. However, a successful E-Learning System (ELS) should take both system and information quality into account by applying ISM developed by Delone and McLean. In addition, the acceptance for information system depends on the perceived usefulness and ease of use according to TAM. This research combines TAM with ISM by introducing system quality, quality of platform information, and course information as an antecedent of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These factors are crucial for understanding users’ intentions to continue their use of ELS. The research model was examined with data collected from 164 practicing students with ELS experiences. The results indicated that system quality, platform information, and course information had a significantly positive effect on users’ satisfaction and their intention to use ELS continuously.

This research combined TAM with ISM by introducing system quality, quality of platform information, and course information as an antecedent of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. These factors were crucial for understanding users’ intention to continue their use of ELS. This study investigated 412 students with ELS experiences. The results indicate that system quality, platform information, and course information had significantly related to user satisfaction and their intention to use ELS continuously.
