Perceived usefulness of information: a psychometric examination*
TLDR
In this paper, a new instrument for measuring two dimensions of perceived usefulness is developed and the results of an empirical study designed to test the reliability and construct validity of this instrument in a capital-budgeting setting are presented.Abstract:
The perceived usefulness of information is an important construct for the design of management information systems. Yet an examination of existing measures of perceived usefulness shows that the instruments developed have not been validated nor has their reliability been verified. In this paper a new instrument for measuring two dimensions of perceived usefulness is developed. The results of an empirical study designed to test the reliability and construct validity of this instrument in a capital-budgeting setting are presented.read more

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.

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.

User Acceptance of Computer Technology: A Comparison of Two Theoretical Models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the ability to predict peoples' computer acceptance from a measure of their intentions, and explain their intentions in terms of their attitudes, subjective norms, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and related variables.

Information Systems Success: The Quest for the Dependent Variable
TL;DR: A large number of studies have been conducted during the last decade and a half attempting to identify those factors that contribute to information systems success, but the dependent variable in these studies-I/S success-has been an elusive one to define.

Convergent and discriminant validation by the multitrait-multimethod matrix.
TL;DR: This transmutability of the validation matrix argues for the comparisons within the heteromethod block as the most generally relevant validation data, and illustrates the potential interchangeability of trait and method components.

The Structure of "Unstructured" Decision Processes
TL;DR: Mintzberg et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a general model to describe the interrelationships among strategic decision processes in terms of 12 elements: 3 central phases, 3 sets of supporting routines, and 6 sets of dynamic factors.
