2 Technology Acceptance in Modern Organisations: The Role of Past Behaviour and Perceived Behavioural Control. NICOLE ZAMBELLI Supervisors: Dr. Marie Carroll Dr. Patricia Brown Submitted as fulfilment of The Masters of Applied Science (Research) at The University of Canberra Submitted: February 2001
3 IV ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The list of people whose love, support and guidance has enabled me to survive the last 3 years and remain (relatively) sane is long and (I think) distinguished. It is always risky to directly acknowledge people by name and at the risk of leaving someone out, the following people deserve special mention (in no particular order): ; * Dr. Patricia Brown (University of Canberra) - for agreeing to take over supervision of this thesis in the later stages of production and for making great efforts to understand what it is that I was on about. Your understanding and perspective has greatly contributed to the standard of the final edition. < Dr. Marie Carroll (University of Canberra) - for taking over supervision of this thesis in the even later stages of production. Thank you. <» Dr. Ron Henderson - without whose guidance and knowledge of the TAM this study would never have been conceptualised. Bet you're glad to see it completed too! * My Family - you've watched me slog this out over the last 3 years. What can I say but "I've made it!". * Nicole Pearson - my cherished flatmate. You been there through the high's and low's of this thesis campaign and though at times I'm sure you've wished to throttle me with it have remained supportive to the end. Thank you. * 'The Group' - you know who you are. Thank you for maintaining the balance in my life and helping me to keep things in perspective. Here's to more free time to party! * Toby Keene and Derek Bopping - two finer work colleagues one could not hope for. Thank you for listening to me whine, taking absolutely no notice and continuing to challenge me. * Thanks are also due to the Organisational Change Group of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation and the Australian Defence Organisation for the provision of the resources that enabled the data collection, data analysis and preparation of this thesis. And to all those other people who I have ever 'chewed the fat' with regarding technology acceptance, thank you for your views and insights. Now I guess it's on to the next chapter of my life. Onwards and upwards! : - Nicole
4 11 ABSTRACT New information systems will only improve organisational performance if they are accepted and used to their full capacity. It is therefore important to be able to understand, explain and predict the factors affecting technology acceptance. One model which has been successful at this is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM; Davis, 1986). This study tests an extension of the TAM in a mandatory usage environment. The extended TAM proposed here incorporates two new independent measures; past behaviour and perceived behavioural control. Participants were 285 members of an Australian Government Department who had been using a new information system for approximately 4 months. Usage of the system was mandated in organisational policy and there were no alternative systems or processes available to participants to complete their job requirements. Results indicate that when information system usage is mandatory (or nonvolitional) perceived behavioural control significantly increases the ability of the extended TAM to predict system acceptance behaviour. Furthermore, self-reports of system usage were not related to the participants intention to use the system and user satisfaction was the only dependent variable accurately predicted by the model. Past behaviour did not predict either behavioural intention or behaviour in this study. The implications of these findings for technology acceptance in modern organisations and areas for future research are discussed.
