Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and user acceptance of information technology

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.

Perceived usefulness, ease of use, and usage of information technology: a replication

TL;DR: Two studies that replicate previous work by Fred Davis on the subject of perceived usefulness, ease of use, and usage of information technology focus on evaluating the psychometric properties of the ease ofUse and usefulness scales, while examining the relationship between ease ofuse, usefulness, and system usage.

Towards the experimental study of usability

TL;DR: A field study examined a banking system which provided staff with 36 ways of extracting information from a customer's account and showed that staff were able to use a small set of well-known facilities for most purposes, albeit inefficiently and sometimes ineffectively.
