This study examines a sample (N=239) of pre-service teachers’ self-reported intention to use technology. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as a research framework in which findings contribute to technology acceptance research by demonstrating the suitability of the TAM to explain the intention to use technology among educational users. Using the structural equation modelling for data analysis, a good fit was found for both the measurement and structural models. Overall, the results of this study offer evidence that the TAM is effective in predicting pre-service teachers’ intention to use technology. This paper concludes with a discussion of the limitations and recommendations for further study.

Snapchat, and Instagram are two social networks which recently gain their users after adopting such a feature called "Story" which allows a certain post to be disappeared after a certain time. This research takes up this technology trends analyzing the factors that probably affect the behavioral intention to use Snapchat and Instagram stories among generation Z. Factors are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, with basis model and variables from Technology Acceptance Model. Data collection was targeted to finished within 1 week using online questionnaire with respondent from Jakarta and Tangerang for 100 respondent that are using both Snapchat stories and Instagram Stories. There are two tools researcher usually use to analyze Structural Equation Modeling: SPSS AMOS and LISREL. In this research, researchers choose AMOS. From six hypothesis proposed for Snapchat analysis, four hypothesis is accepted, while the other two are rejected. Meanwhile, on Instagram Stories analysis, five hypothesis is accepted and one hypothesis is rejected. This study finds out the Social Presence is an exogenous variable which has a major role in affecting other variables. While Perceived Enjoyment influenced the behavioral intention to use Snapchat and Instagram Stories the most.

This article explores which antecedents explain intentions to adopt a mobile coaching app. To that end, this study describes a coaching service designed to guide/encourage students throughout their studies in order to validate a new model of planned behavior based on the Technology Acceptance Model and the Goal-Directed Behavioral theory. The methodology included a short qualitative study and an online survey to examine the theoretical model which is based on scales tested in previous studies. The convenience sample is composed of students (Bachelor and Master/MBA) with the results analyzed using structural equation modelling to test the proposed model's causal structure. The results show different adoption patterns by gender and type of school.

This study examines the applicability of an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) that incorporates trust, perceived risk, and self-enhancement as antecedents to the TAM constructs. Data collected from 299 Vietnamese online consumers, through a self-administered survey, were entered into a structural equation model using AMOS 23 to establish causality. The results partially confirm the applicability of TAM to the online shopping intentions of Vietnamese consumer, though contrary to expectations, perceived ease of use does not predict behavioral intentions. Trust and self-enchantment fit well with the TAM; the inclusion of perceived risk as an antecedent is questionable. The findings offer new opportunities for explaining TAM theory in light of Schwartz's value dimensions. This article thus concludes with a discussion of the research contributions and implications.

Sebuah organisasi pasti memiliki tiga hal, yaitu tempat, pekerja, dan sebuah operasi ataupun sistem yang dapat membantu pekerjaan. Pada awalnya sebuah organisasi masih mengerjakan segala sesuatu secara manual sehingga dibutuhkan sebuah teknologi agar dalam proses mengumpulkan informasi, pengambilan keputusan, dan menjalankan pekerjaan dapat berjalan dengan baik. Kebutuhan pekerja dalam organisasi seperti penggajian dan transaksi pembayaran dalam kehidupan pribadi dengan adanya teknologi menjadi tidak perlu untuk mengantri panjang saat ingin membayar sesuatu atau menunggu lama untuk menerima upah gaji. Teknologi yang sangat dibutuhkan saat ini disebut mobile banking. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penggunaan mobile banking terhadap transaksi pembayaran pada pendeta dan pekerja Konferens DKI Jakarta dengan menggunakan metode Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Dalam memperoleh hasil menggunakan analisis Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) menggunakan program SPSS dan AMOS versi 22. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konstruk model TAM berhubungan secara signifikan dan pada bagian lain ada yang tidak mempunyai pengaruh sehingga pengguna mobile banking dapat diharapkan untuk lebih teliti dalam menggunakan mobile banking agar mempermudah segala aktivitas transaksi pembayaran. Kata kunci— Pembayaran, Transaksi, Mobile Banking, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dalam Survei Bidang Kependudukan danKeluarga Berencana. Terjadi perubahan dalam teknik atau cara pengumpulan data dalam surveidi bidang kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana/KB (selanjutnya disebut Survei Kinerja danAkuntabilitas Program/SKAP) yang semula dilakukan secara manual dan paper based menjadisistem yang berbasis smartphone yang menggunakan platform Open Data Kit (ODK). Sistemini mengubah semua rangkaian pengumpulan data menjadi paperless dan electronic based.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (a) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived ease of use terhadapperceived usefulness ; (b) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived ease of use terhadapattitude towards using: (c) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived usefulness terhadap behaviorintention to use; (d) mengukur tingkat pengaruh perceived usefulness terhadap attitude towardsusing; (e) mengukur tingkat pengaruh attitude towards using terhadap behavior intention touse; dan (f) mengukur tingkat pengaruh behavior intention to use terhadap actual system usedalam survei berbasis smartphone bidang kependudukan dan keluarga berencana di PulauSumatera. Populasi dalam kajian ini adalah seluruh enumerator dan supervisor survei SKAPyang ada di Pulau Sumatera, kemudian sampelnya ditetapkan menurut teknik estimasi maximumlikehood (ML) yaitu minimal 100 dna maksimal 400 responden. Analisis data dilakukan denganSEM (Structural Equation Modelling) dengan software AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure).Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dari enam hipotesis yang diajukan, terdapat dua hipotesisyang diterima, yaitu (a) perceived ease of use mempunyai hubungan yang positif denganPerceived usefulness dengan nilai CR -4.31 >±1,96 dan angka probabilitasnya 0,001 (<0,05)dan (b) behavioral Intention to Use mempunyai hubungan yang positif dengan Actual SystemUse dengan CR = 2,819 >±1,96 dan probabilitas/P = 0,005 (<0,05).

There are many mobile and desktop apps available to use for free. Starting from games to productivity apps. One type of productivity apps is cloud file hosting services such as Dropbox and Google Drive. This study aims to determine how Dropbox and Google Drive are accepted to the users. Not just want to get the factors of acceptance, but to get the root of the acceptance. By using the methodology of technology acceptance model and relying on statistical calculations of structural equation modeling software LISREL, the level of acceptance of these two popular applications will be known. Index Terms - Cloud Fire Hosting Services, Level of Acceptance, Technology Acceptance Model, Structural Equation Modelling, LISREL.

PurposeThe popularity of e-commerce has increased significantly over recent years. However, this growth is not shared by all European Union states. One reason for this discrepancy is culture which impacts on e-commerce acceptance. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the effect of acculturation process on e-commerce acceptance.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modelling is employed to test three research models: technology acceptance model, theory of planned behaviour model and motivational model.FindingsThe findings show that attitudes towards e-commerce change in relation to the perception of control and the influence of subjective norms, which impact intentions to use e-commerce before movement to a host country’s culture. However, its effect diminishes after the exposure to the influence of a host culture.Originality/valueThis is the first study to demonstrate the existence of the effect of acculturation process on mingling and migrating consumers and their changing attitudes towards e-commerce acceptance.
