The global economic impact of the construction industry cannot be overstated. The use of information and communications technology (ICT) offers a potential for massive cost savings and increases in productivity. Unfortunately, the US construction industry lags behind most other US industries in the implementation of ICT. This research sets out to understand what factors improve the use and adoption of ICT in the US construction industry by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) developed by Davis (1989). The TAM recognized a relationship with actual use of technology based on the premise of behavioral intent (BI) and intended use and that user perceived usefulness (PU) leads to intended use, which translates to actual use. The TAM also recognizes that user perceived ease of use (PEOU) supports the premise of PU enhancing intended use by increasing the PU. This research used independent variables from previous research to serve as a basis for establishing a benchmark for US construction firms. Seventy-six US construction professionals were surveyed for this study. The results showed that the US construction industry follows the TAM model in that if the technology is perceived to be useful it will be adopted, and this seems to be supported by PEOU. Application of this extended TAM in the US construction industry will help companies predict the successful adoption and use of ICT, allowing managers to make more informed decisions in the adoption process.

Teaching and learning are significantly influenced by information and communications technology (ICT). The goal of this study was to develop a new model and conduct confirmatory factor analysis to learn more about how students use ICT for digital learning as sustainability. The purpose of this research project was to investigate computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, perceived enjoyment and acceptance of digital learning as sustainability at Saudi universities, based on students’ satisfaction with actual ICT usage for digital learning as sustainability. This research project made use of structural equation modelling with SEM-AMOS and an expanded variant of the technology acceptance model as the research model. A questionnaire based on the technology acceptance model and social cognitive theory was employed as the main data collection method and was distributed to 684 students from students at two universities. Students’ answers were categorized into seven categories and evaluated to determine how satisfied students were with ICT and how likely they were to continue using it for digital learning as sustainability. The findings revealed a connection between computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety and perceived enjoyment, factors which all played a significant role in perceived usefulness and ease of use. Perceived usefulness and ease of use also had an impact on students’ continued intention to use and satisfaction. This research-built model was effective in explaining students’ continued desire to use ICT and their satisfaction with it.

In Indonesia, the use of social media has been increased. Many factors are related to support the use of social media. This research aims to prove the affects between quality of life, social exchange, and technology acceptance model, which is based on previous research by adding privacy concern as moderating variable. This research conducted by distributing online questionnaires to the citizen that using social media in Indonesia. This research used Structural Equation Modeling as analysis method with software WarpPLS 5.0 as statistic tools. Data were collected from online questionnaires and the total of sample are 440 respondents. The result for this research shows that quality of life affects social exchange, which also affects to technology acceptance model and results to actual use of social media while the variable of privacy concern doesn't prove as moderating variable. As the result of the study, researchers suggest to the organizations that provide social media to pay attention to quality of life that will motivate someone to using social media.

The success of an information system (IS) depends on the users’ satisfaction with the system. In this study, the Technology Acceptance Model by Davies (1989) was extended. The paper synthesized the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explain and predict the success of e-payment system using users’ satisfaction as dependent variable. The hypothesized model was validated empirically using a sample data collected from of a modified e-payment questionnaire. A total of 74 teaching and non teaching academic staff selected from the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, University of Ilorin, Nigeria constituted the sample for the study. The results revealed correlation among perceived benefits, perceive enjoyment, speed; service quality, perceive ease of use and actual use and e-payment success. Moreover, all the seven e-payment predictive factors together made 69% of e-payment system success. Similarly perceived benefits, perceive enjoyment, speed; service quality, perceive ease of use and actual use are good predictors of e-payment system success. One of the implications pointed out by the study is that the measures for the construct of e-payment system success used are self-reported. In the light of this, future research should develop more objective and accurate measures for determining e-payment system success.

The purpose of this study is to measure factors that influence students’acceptance of a Learning Management System (LMS) using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). LMS is an information system that facilitates e-learning that serves to process, store, disseminate learning materials and provides administrative support and communication related to the teaching and learning process. Support students as users of the LMS content are one of the success factors in the implementation of the LMS. This study uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which has five factors namely perceived usefullness, perceived ease of use, attitudes towards to use, behavioral intention to use and actual use. A set of questionnaires have been completed by 60 students in Politeknik SAKTI Surabaya. Data were processed using SmartPLS and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The results showed that the TAM was valid, reliable, and substantially acceptable based on the results of data evaluation, ie the indicator factor loading > 0.5, the t-statistic ≥ 1.96, the cronbach alpha ≥ 0.6, and the value of the goodness of fit  = 0.47. The factors that influence students’acceptance of a LMS in Politeknik SAKTI Surabaya are perceived usefullness, perceived ease of use, and attitudes towards to use, affecting the intention to use, and significantly affect the actual use of LMS.

Technology acceptance model (TAM)—new media—has been widely viewed as a veritable medium for innovating businesses, specifically business positioning. However, organizations are hardly adopting it due to fear of losing control of information flow and cyber-attack, which has intensified and taken mutative dimensions recently. Although numerous studies have explored TAM, they have largely focused on users' perception of the system's usefulness, ease of use, intention to use, and the actual use, while leaving out the strategic implications of such business practice. Thus, relying on thematic textual analysis of interview data drawn from 41 respondents, this chapter empirically investigates how selected ICT firms in Nigeria are behaving towards TAM- new social media. Consequently, the study proposes that rather than dwell on avoidance model, following associated risks, TAM can be securely and effectively integrated to help stimulate business positioning: market positioning, market leadership, customer intimacy-relationship, and competitive advantage for organizational success.
