Determinants of Perceived Ease of Use: Integrating Control, Intrinsic Motivation, and Emotion into the Technology Acceptance Model
TLDR
This work presents and tests an anchoring and adjustment-based theoretical model of the determinants of system-specific perceived ease of use, and proposes control, intrinsic motivation, and emotion as anchors that determine early perceptions about the ease ofuse of a new system.Abstract:
Much previous research has established that perceived ease of use is an important factor influencing user acceptance and usage behavior of information technologies. However, very little research has been conducted to understand how that perception forms and changes over time. The current work presents and tests an anchoring and adjustment-based theoretical model of the determinants of system-specific perceived ease of use. The model proposes control (internal and external--conceptualized as computer self-efficacy and facilitating conditions, respectively), intrinsic motivation (conceptualized as computer playfulness), and emotion (conceptualized as computer anxiety) as anchors that determine early perceptions about the ease of use of a new system. With increasing experience, it is expected that system-specific perceived ease of use, while still anchored to the general beliefs regarding computers and computer use, will adjust to reflect objective usability, perceptions of external control specific to the new system environment, and system-specific perceived enjoyment. The proposed model was tested in three different organizations among 246 employees using three measurements taken over a three-month period. The proposed model was strongly supported at all points of measurement, and explained up to 60% of the variance in system-specific perceived ease of use, which is twice as much as our current understanding. Important theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.read more

Toward An Understanding of the Behavioral Intention to Use Mobile Banking Services
TL;DR: “perceived credibility” is introduced as a new factor that reflects the user’s security and privacy concern in the acceptance of mobile banking, and the effect of computer self-efficacy on intention to use mobile banking is examined.

Social media addiction: What is the role of content in YouTube?
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that content creation in YouTube had a closer relationship with YouTube addiction than content viewing, and social gratification was found to have a significant influence on both types of YouTube activities, whereas technology gratification did not significantly influence them.

Predicting uptake of technology innovations in online family dispute resolution services: An application and extension of the UTAUT
TL;DR: The results suggest that pre-contemplation technology acceptance research can have utility for change management and system design, as well as suggest that UTAUT model was partially validated in this context and effort expectancy mediated the effects of trust in technology on behavioral intention.

Customer online shopping anxiety within the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use Technology (UTAUT) framework
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the influence of anxiety on the customer adoption of online shopping based on the UTAUT framework and found that anxiety simultaneously exerts negative direct influences on effort expectancy (EE), performance expectancy (PE), and behavioural intentions (BI).

The theory of planned behavior
TL;DR: Ajzen, 1985, 1987, this article reviewed the theory of planned behavior and some unresolved issues and concluded that the theory is well supported by empirical evidence and that intention to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior.
Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and User
TL;DR: Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and validated new scales for two specific variables, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are hypothesized to be fundamental determinants of user acceptance.

TL;DR: The authors described three heuristics that are employed in making judgements under uncertainty: representativeness, availability of instances or scenarios, and adjustment from an anchor, which is usually employed in numerical prediction when a relevant value is available.
