In today’s networked world, privacy risk is becoming a major concern for individuals using information technology. Every time someone visits a website or provides information online they have exposed themselves to possible harm. The information collected can be sold to third parties or kept by the site owners themselves for use in creating a profile of users’ preferences and tastes. To gain insight into the role risk plays in the adoption process of technology, the authors studied the use of information systems in relation to a student registration and schedule management system at a major United States university. Further, they extended the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to include perceptual measures of privacy risk harm (RH) and privacy risk likelihood (RL) which apply to the extended model and predict students’ intentions to use technology. Their finding indicated the growing importance of privacy risk in the use of information technology.

Kesan dan akibat teknologi maklumat (IT) dalam operasi perniagaan telah menjadi topik perbincangan yangpenting di seluruh dunia. Nampaknya impak IT sangat penting kepada mana-mana organisasi perniagaanuntuk meningkatkan kecekapan dan produktiviti. Koperasi, sebagai kategori penetapan perniagaan, harusjuga mengadoptasi IT sebagai alat penting untuk terus berinovasi proses perniagaan mereka sebagai alatuntuk kelestarian dalam era globalisasi. Walau bagaimanapun, setakat mana koperasi-koperasi ini telahmenerima teknologi masih perlu dipelajari. Beberapa soalan berkaitan dengan penggunaan IT dan faktorfaktor yang mempengaruhi serta kesan impak IT terhadap prestasi perniagaan di kalangan koperasi perludijawab. Oleh itu, kertas kerja ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penerimaanIT dan kesan prestasi IT dalam operasi perniagaan koperasi. Kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk mencabarandaian implikasinya dalam model penerimaan teknologi, iaitu tidak ada kesan yang sederhana dalamhubungan antara niat tingkah laku dan penggunaan sebenar sistem. Khususnya, kajian ini mengkaji kesanfaktor-faktor sebelumnya-efi kasi diri, imej, norma subjektif, dan kesedaran tentang persepsi; dan pengaruhsokongan pengurusan moderator atas niat dan pengangkatan. Selanjutnya, kajian ini juga bertujuan untukmendapatkan lebih banyak lagi kesan impak yang diterima oleh IT dalam aktiviti perniagaan koperasiyang dipercayai mempengaruhi secara langsung atau tidak langsung proses penerimaan. The emergence and consequences of information technology (IT) in business operation has becomepertinent discussion topics worldwide. It seems that the impact of IT is very crucial to any businessorganization towards improving its efficiency and productivity. Cooperatives, as a category of businesssettings, have to also adopt the new IT as an important tool to further innovate their business process asa means for sustainability in the globalized era. But nevertheless, to which extent these cooperatives haveadopted the technology remains to be studied. Some questions with regard to the adoption of IT and theinfluencing factors as well as perceived impacts of IT on business performance among cooperatives needto be answered. Hence, this paper intended to study factors that influence IT adoption and perceivedperformance effects of IT in cooperatives business operation. This study also aims to challenge the implicitassumption in technology acceptance model, i.e. non-existing of moderating effects on the relationshipbetween behavioral intention and actual use of system. Specifically, the study examines the effects ofprior factors-self-efficacy, image, subjective norm, and awareness on perception; and the influence ofmoderator-top management support on intention and adoption. Subsequently, the study also intendedto seek further light on the perceived impacts of IT adoption in cooperative business activities which isbelieved to affect directly or indirectly the adoption process.

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 chapter introduces national culture as a possible factor accounting for the differences in information technology adoption and use between countries. Based upon culture theory and the technology acceptance model (TAM), the author offers a conceptual model aiming at better understanding IT acceptance across countries of different cultures. It has been argued that six value dimensions—individualism/collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity/femininity, high/low context, and polychronism/monochronism—act as moderators of the TAM relationships. Furthermore, the author aims at helping IT designers and IT managers all over the world to understand why certain national cultural values may be congruent or not with the IT to be designed or implemented.

<p>Information system is being implemented to improve job performance and facilitate employees’ work. However, implementing Information system has some negative impacts on employees and organization if employees do not accept it. Several previous studies investigated some consequences of information technology such as turnover intention and job satisfaction. This study provides a conceptual framework that shows other independent consequences of information system implementation. The model presented the impact of attitude towards using information technology on three components of organizational commitment (formative, normative and continuance). It also addresses the impact of attitude towards using information technology on turnover intention directly and via organizational commitment. Based on technology acceptance and its consequences, we develop a number of testable propositions that can guide to further research on work related outcome due to technology acceptance. Finally, we provide some recommendations for future research.</p>

Abstract - The use of e-commerce by consumers has provided many advantages that have been obtained both from the seller and even the buyer. The greater the interest of consumers in using ecommerce services is to make more and more players in providing e-commerce services and make them provide services to the best to the users. Basically, a site is information technology. Measuring the level of decisions in online purchases can use three variables such as ease of shopping, and trust in onile purchases will impact decisions on online purchases can be used in case studies of IT acceptance over the last few decades. In this study in 3 variables used using 116 samples with 9 questions and where all valid variables only 1 variable failed, with the value of reliability = 0.892> 0.6.

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

Objective: Ambulance services are evolving from use of paper-based recording of patient information to electronic platforms and the impact of this change has yet to be fully explored. The aim of this study is to explore how the introduction of a system permitting electronic information capture and its subsequent sharing were perceived by the ambulance clinicians using it.Methods: An online questionnaire was designed based upon the technology acceptance model and distributed throughout one ambulance service in the south east of England. Closed-ended questions with Likert scales were used to collect data from patient-facing staff who use an online community falls and diabetic referral platform or an electronic messaging system to update GPs following a patient encounter.Results: There were 273 responses from ambulance clinicians. Most participants agreed that they used tablet computers and smartphones to make their life easier (85% and 86%, respectively). Most participants felt that referring patients to a community falls or diabetic team electronically was an efficient use of their time (81% and 81%, respectively) and many believed that these systems improved the communication of confidential patient information. GP summaries were perceived as increasing time spent on scene but most participants (89%) believed they enabled collaborative working. Overall, collecting and sharing patient information electronically was perceived by most participants as beneficial to their practice.Conclusion: In this study, the ability to electronically refer patients to community services and share patient encounters with the GP was predominantly perceived as both safe for patients and an effective use of the participants’ clinical time. However, there is often still a need to communicate to GPs in real time, demonstrating that technology could complement, rather than replace, how clinicians communicate.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of customers’ offline transaction behaviour in the form of loyalty and cross-buying on the adoption of self-service technology innovations by non-business customers in the context of online banking. Design/methodology/approach This study extends the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, as well as the Technology Acceptance Model adapted to describe and model individual customer observed behaviours in the pre-adoption stage of the adoption process. The Log-logistic parametric survival model is applied using panel data for 1,357 randomly selected new customers from a bank. Findings Significant differences arise among customers’ behaviours related to periodicity of interactions with the bank and quantity of products involved in the interactions, as well as convenience and risk of the interactions. The results corroborate that those customers who are more likely to adopt the online banking faster show an offline behavioural pattern more related to higher periodicity of interactions and convenience, rather than a high number of products involved in their interactions, the use of high-risk products or the maintenance of a higher average monthly liabilities. Originality/value While previous research explaining the process of adoption of the online channel has mainly focused on the analysis of customers’ attitudes (i.e. customers’ perceptions) and demographics, in this research an additional explanation is proposed using customers’ offline transaction behaviours. In addition, there is a considerable amount of research about the adoption of new technologies, but there is a scarcity of studies looking specifically at the financial services and banking industry.
