Abstract
Prior research has provided valuable insight into how and why individual make a decision on the acceptance and use of information technologies (ITs) in the organizations. In practice, however, the diversity of IT and managerial task make these theoretical models not always work. To reinforce understanding about the drive mechanism of users’ IT usage, we draw from the representative researches on the technology acceptance model (TAM), and: (i) review and develop an integrated model of determinants of individual level IT usage from both cognitive and emotional perspectives; (ii) discuss the moderating effects of experience, commitment to use, task complexity, network externalities and instrumental on the relationships between determinants and user behavior.
