Aim of the Study: The purpose of the study was to explore the efficacy of artificial intelligence-powered tools in the learning of English as a second language at undergraduate level in Pakistan. Methodology: A mixed-method approach was adopted to accomplish the set-out objectives. Davis’s (1989) Technology Acceptance Model was utilized to explore the elements that influenced ESL undergraduate students' decisions to accept or reject AI language learning technology. An online questionnaire was administered to 67 randomly selected ESL undergraduate students in order to gather numerical (quantitative) data. Semi-structured interviews were done with 12 ESL respondents who were purposefully chosen to get qualitative data. In terms of data analysis, SPSS version 27 was used to analyze the numerical data. Findings: The results of the study showed that AI tools such as Grammarly, Duolingo, ChatGPT, Quillbot, and ELSA were used by the participants and improved their English language skills (speaking, writing, reading, and listening). The study's results also indicate that ESL students had positive opinions about using AI tools to learn English. Finally, the study identified the difficulties that ESL students had to overcome, such as contextualization problems, internet connectivity problems, a lack of human interaction, and technological limitations. Furthermore, the results derived from the open-ended questions in the semi-structured interviews were interpreted using Braun and Clarke's (2006) theme analysis approach. Five themes were generated: AI enhance/improve English language proficiency, immediate feedback and suggestions, customized learning, engaging and effective learning, and accuracy issues. Conclusion: The study's findings demonstrated that factors like the usefulness of AI tools, their ease of use, and their capacity to function anywhere, at any time, influenced students' acceptance of AI-powered tools.

The purpose of this study was to close the knowledge gaps about how college students’ use of social media impacts their capacity for cooperation and communication. To gather data, 250 university students were given a questionnaire survey on constructivism theory, technology acceptance model, and communication theory. Even though male students were not entirely satisfied with peer contact for collaborative learning, the behavioral intention results of students to use social media for online communication and collaborative learning reveal a beneficial effect on their academic efforts in higher education institutions. As a result, we need to have urged students to use social media for learning through their instructors at universities. Master’s degree students are less in agreement with the performance improvements made by social media. According to the study, social media and cooperative learning enhance student learning activities and enable them to exchange ideas, information, and expertise.

This study's goal is to develop and experimentally evaluate a model that pinpoints The Factors Impacting South Eastern University of Sri Lanka Staff's Use of Online Banking. Perceived Trust (PT) was chosen from the literature since it seemed to be more contextual, while Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) were based on the well-known Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A quantitative investigation based on a survey using questionnaires was used. The total population of the study was 250 and the sample was taken as 152 based on the Morgan table. All 152 responses were received completely. The data collected perfectly fit the model proposed, and the structural model supported that PU, PEOU, and PT, while TAM factors are known to affect behavior-related intentions to use any technology, have been empirically proven to affect behavior-related intentions to use online banking services in the Sri Lankan context. When building mobile banking apps for consumers, banks should consider features that users can easily recognize and utilize. The South Eastern University of Sri Lanka's academic personnel was the focus of the study, although it might also have included non-academic workers. Future research may also concentrate on other university researchers. The research study concluded that independent variables have a strong significant positive relationship with behavior intention to use mobile banking (R = 0.876, R-Square = 0.724). This research study gives the banking industries in-depth information on the efficient usage of electronic mobile banking applications and the strategies to draw potential consumers for their multipurpose use.

The introduction of ChatGPT has provided students with a tool similar to a fairy-tale djinn, giving the ability to simplify homework and projects with just a few keystrokes. This study examines teenagers' perspectives on using ChatGPT for homework, exploring both the perceived benefits and concerns. Based on content analysis of responses from 141 teenagers aged 14 to 16 from grammar schools across various federal regions in Germany, we introduce the 4I Model of Benefits, identifying four key advantages: Information, Inspiration, Improvement, and Immediacy. Integrated within the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, this model clarifies factors influencing teenagers’ acceptance of AI text generators in education. Findings indicate that, while most teenagers recognize the distinct benefits of using ChatGPT, concerns about learning efficacy and over-reliance underscore the need for balanced educational integration. By enriching the TAM framework, the 4I Model identifies the specific benefits of ChatGPT that drive its acceptance and provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and developers.
... The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a widely used theoretical framework in the evaluation of technology adoption and use, including XR technologies. TAM is an adaptation of the theory of motivated action (TRA) to the field of information systems (Davis, 1989). TAM posits that user acceptance and adoption of technology are determined by two primary factors: perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU). ...
... • Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) refers to the degree to which a user perceives that using XR technologies will be free of effort or complexity. Davis et al., 1989) The direct relationship between perceived usefulness and intention shows that people form their behavioral intentions to use based on their cognitive appraisal of how using the system will contribute to improving their performance. According to TAM, users are more likely to accept and use XR technologies if they perceive them to be useful and easy to use. ...
... For example, (Davis, 1989) originally proposed TAM to explain user acceptance of information technology and has been adapted and applied to study user acceptance of technology applications in different contexts. Recent studies also applied TAM to assess the acceptance of VR in educational settings, finding significant correlations between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and user acceptance (Huang et al., 2016). ...
... In the course of the research numerous frameworks and models that have been conceived to study the user adoption of emergent technologies and researching the factors that influence this acceptance, were mapped. These include the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis 1989), Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen 1985), Diffusion of Innovation theory (Rogers 2003), the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein and Ajzen 1975), to name some. These and other similar frameworks form the backbone of numerous studies on technology acceptance, while other research combines previous models or introduces new constructs to expand upon the existing frameworks (Taherdoost 2018). ...
... One popular model that considers relevant factors in technology adoption is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which suggests that perceived usefulness and ease of use play a significant role in the adoption of a technology (Davis 1989). It is widely used to understand and explain the use of information technologies in different contexts (King and He 2006). ...

This paper addresses critical questions surrounding the security of government-issued identity documents and their potential misuse, with an emphasis on understanding the perspectives of ordinary citizens across Europe and the United States of America. Drawing upon research on technology acceptance and diffusion, the research focuses on understanding the factors that influence users' adoption of novel identity management solutions. Our methodology includes a comprehensive, census-representative survey spanning citizens from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the USA. The paper's findings underscore a robust confidence in government-issued identity documents, contrasted by a lower trust in private sector services, including social media platforms and email accounts. The adoption of artificial intelligence for identity verification remains contested, with a significant percentage of respondents undecided, indicating a need for explicit explanation and transparency about its implementation and related risks. Public sentiment leans towards acceptance of government data collection for identification purposes; however, the sharing of this data with private entities elicits more apprehension.
... The factors influencing physicians' willingness to use electronic medical records (EMRs) and their satisfaction with these systems are complex. This study employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis (1989)) as a framework to establish a model of factors affecting physicians' intentions to use EMRs, drawing from both theoretical and practical perspectives in the context of specific medical practice issues within the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system. Initially, a comprehensive review of the theoretical literature regarding the implementation background and policy objectives of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system was conducted. ...
... Perceived Ease of Use directly affects Perceived Usefulness, while exogenous variables within specific application contexts also significantly impact both Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. By considering external environmental factors, one can gain a deeper understanding of the motivations and willingness of users to engage with the system (Davis (1989); Sun et al. (2007)). The hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system promotes the adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs), which offer numerous advantages over paper-based records, thereby reducing the reliance on physical documents (Xu et al. (2022)). ...

In order to promote the practice of the hierarchical diagnosis system in China, We looked into electronic medical record-the important information carrier of patient health data. Based on literature reading and pre-investigation, a model of influencing factors of doctors’ willingness to use and share electronic medical records under the background of the implementation of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system was constructed. The questionnaire was designed with the traditional model and the questionnaire data were collected. The structural equation model was used to test the constructed model. The results show that the perceived usefulness of electronic medical records has the most significant impact on the willingness to share. Perceived ease of use and privacy protection of patient information have significant effects on sharing intention. In the future, the construction of electronic medical record system should be based on improving its use value and considering its convenience.
... One such framework is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The original TAM focuses on the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of new technologies (Davis 1989), where acceptance is defined by the degree to which people "intend to use or continue to use the new technology" (c.f. Lu et al. 2023: 9749). ...
... The changes brought about by the introduction of neural machine translation resulted in feelings of uncertainty among many professional translators. The acceptance of technological innovations within different fields has been studied for a long time (Davis 1989), but there is a growing body of literature that focuses on translators' perception and acceptance of automated translation (Nunes Vieira 2020, Pym-Torres-Simón 2021, Salmi 2021). In our paper, we examined the comment threads under two posts from the Facebook group of Hungarian professional translators. ...

With artificial intelligence and deep learning gaining ground, the last few years have seen an unprecedented development in Machine Translation (MT). Deep learning, neural machine translation, and large language models have opened up horizons that many did not think possible. This era of automated translation has led to a restructuring of the profession of translation and the processes carried out by human translators in target-language text production. Technological advances in some languages make the role of translator seem obsolete, and many have expressed concerns about their livelihoods. Our paper discusses the attitudes and opinions of Hungarian professional translators regarding the development of automated translation. We focused our research on a Hungarian Facebook group, an online platform for professional translators, where they can ask for help and discuss aspects of their work. We show that many Hungarian professionals express reservations about MT replacing human translators, arguing that Hungarian is a “small” language that is “very different” (mostly from a structural point of view) from the “big” languages that MT targets.
... Tracing the origin of TAM, Masrom (2007) claimed that the theoretical framework was developed by Fred Davis in 1989. However, the Theory was primarily hinged on the Theory of reasoned action (TRA). ...
... Perceived Usefulness (PU) As stated before, users understand that using a particular technology will enhance their performance or productivity, and this is made possible by external variables. In the words of Davis (1989), PU is an essential factor that determines whether users can accept or reject new technology. In order words, there is a tendency to accept a technology if the user perceives that it can facilitate the accomplishment of a specific goal. ...

The presence of technology in the domain of language education has proven to provide language learners with a plethora of opportunities to learn any language with ease. Language learners now use the technology of their choice to improve certain language skills. On the other hand, there are differences in the way male and female language learners use these technologies to achieve their required language learning goals. In this case, male language learners may choose a particular technology in language learning based on certain factors. This also applies to their female counterpart. The focus of this research anchors on analyzing this postulation in order to bring to the limelight the relevance of gender variation in technology adaptation in language education. Precisely, the objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between gender variation and technology adaptation in language learning among foreign language undergraduates. In the paper, a quantitative research methodology was adopted, wherein the research data were collated from a total number of three-hundred and ninety-four (394) foreign language undergraduates to achieve the objective of this research. However, relevant statistical measures such as CFA, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation were used to conduct proper analysis for the research. The results of the statistical analysis and the Pearson correlation test emphasize the critical role of gender in determining technology adaptation in language learning. Gender variation influences language learners’ acceptance (mean score =4.10), use of technology (mean score = 3.50), and perceptions of the effectiveness of technology (mean score =2.80). Meanwhile, the research concludes that gender variation influences language users’ acceptance of technology. However, when they accept it, there is a high tendency to use this technology in their language learning process and develop a positive perception of such technology.
... Technology Acceptance Model Survey (Appendix 5) [14]: An 11-item questionnaire was used to assess participants' perception of RH using a 5-point Likert scale that gauged the capacity of the system to ease workflow, productivity, efficiency and efficacy as well as its resourcefulness, interactivity, ease of use, operability, and flexibility. ...
... The pre-assessment Technology Readiness Index showed high optimism that technology adds "control, freedom, and productivity." The post-assessment revised Technology Acceptance Model to assess "perceived usefulness" and "ease of use" was a good fit for our study because of its relevance to radiology and information delivery [14]. One of the most meaningful measures is a positive mindset that technology will improve their efficiency and productivity and that the technology will be convenient, and easy to access and control. ...

Background Using artificial intelligence (AI) to augment knowledge is key to establishing precision education in modern radiology training. Our department has developed a novel AI-derived knowledge recommender, the first reported precision education program in radiology, RADHawk (RH), that augments the training of radiology residents and fellows by pushing personalized and relevant educational content in real-time and in context with the case being interpreted. Purpose To assess the impact on trainees of an AI-based knowledge recommender compared to traditional knowledge sourcing for radiology reporting through reporting time, quality, cognitive load, and learning experiences. Materials and methods A mixed methods prospective study allocated trainees to intervention and control groups, working with and without access to RH, respectively. Validated questionnaires and observed and graded simulated picture archiving and communication system (PACS)-based reporting at the start and end of a month’s rotation assessed technology acceptance, case report quality, case report time and sourcing time, cognitive load, and attitudes toward modified learning strategies. Non-parametric regression analyses and Mann–Whitney tests were used to compare outcomes between groups, with significance set at P<0.05. Results The intervention group (n=28) demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the case report time by -162 s per case (95%CI -275.76 s to -52.40 s) (P-value = 0.002) and an increase of 14% (95%CI 8.1–19.8%) (P-value <0.001) in accuracy scores compared to the control group (n=29) at the end of the rotation. The intervention group also showed lower levels of mental demand (P=0.030) and experienced less effort (P=0.030) and frustration (P=0.030) while reporting. Additionally, >78% of the intervention group gave positive ratings on RH’s effectiveness, increase in productivity, job usefulness, and ease of use. Eighty-nine percent of participants in the intervention group requested access to RH for their next rotation. Conclusion This study demonstrates that RH, as the first reported AI-derived knowledge recommender for radiology education, significantly reduces reporting time and improves reporting accuracy while reducing overall workload and mental demand for radiology trainees. The high acceptance among trainees suggests its potential for supporting self-directed learning. Further testing of a larger external cohort will support more widespread implementation of RH for precision education. Graphical Abstract
... In addressing technology adoption issues, the TAM is often used as a theoretical framework to explain user behavior in accepting and using technology. The TAM model highlights two main variables, namely PE and PU, which play an essential role in determining INT to adopt new technology (Al-Fahim et al., 2024;Davis, 1989;Song and Jo, 2023). TAM explains why most MSME players are still reluctant to adopt cloud accounting, even though the cloud offers significant benefits. ...
... PU refers to an individual's opinion toward technology can improve performance effectively and efficiently (Davis, 1989). PU is defined as the level of trust of SMEs in cloud accounting that can improve the overall performance of MSMEs. ...

The adoption of cloud accounting technology among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is becoming increasingly vital for enhancing corporate efficiency and sustainability. However, the adoption rate requires enhancement due to several obstacles, including insufficient digital literacy (DLC) and technological complexity (CX). This study aims to identify the factors influencing the adoption of cloud accounting in MSMEs using TAM framework. This research encompassed 307 participants from MSMEs in Indonesia, with data gathered via surveys and analyzed with the Structural Equation Model—Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). DLC and compatibility (CO) substantially affect the perceived ease of use (PE) and usefulness (PU) of cloud accounting technology. Meanwhile, relative advantage (RA) positively impacts PE but does not significantly influence PU. CX greatly influenced users’ intention (INT) to embrace cloud accounting. These findings highlights the crucial role of TAM and indicate that enhancing DLC and CO alongside current business practices is essential to promoting technology adoption. This study provides practical recommendations for policymakers and technology providers to improve the use of digital technologies among MSMEs.
... The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), developed by Fred Davis in 1986, provides a fundamental framework for understanding how users come to accept and use technology. The model posits that technology acceptance is primarily influenced by two factors: perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989). Perceived ease of use refers to the degree to which a person believes that using the technology will be free of effort, while perceived usefulness pertains to the belief that the technology will enhance job performance or deliver other significant benefits. ...
... The questionnaire comprised 20 questions, using a 5-point Likert scale as recommended by Sekaran (2003). The items for this research questionnaire were adapted from previous literature, including perceived risk (Qi & Ploeger, 2001), social media usefulness (Davis, 1989), emotional attachment (Qi & Ploeger, 2001;Tommasetti et al., 2018), perceived behavioral control (Taylor & Todd, 1995), and e-commerce intention (Cheng et al., 2006). This structured approach ensured comprehensive data collection, providing robust insights into the factors determining e-commerce intentions among the respondents. ...
... With the government providing a mix of funding, policy, and political cover, private firms can invest in and supply the necessary technological backbone for the hub to function. For the vision of the hub to be realized in a functional way, working together with NGOs and community organizers is extremely important (Davis, 1989). ...
... The successful deployment of these systems aligns well with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The model's foundation is built on two constructs: perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989). Focusing first on the former, we see that farmers are much more likely to adopt technologies that they find easy to use. ...

Aims: This paper puts forth the idea of MaizeConnect—a business model centred on information and communication technology (ICT) to improve a lot of rural maize farmers in Bangladesh when it comes to accessing markets. Methodology: The research was conducted in the char areas of Jamalpur District, where the Making Markets Work for the Chars (M4C) project is being implemented. The research undertakes a mixed-methods approach of desk reviews, stakeholder consultations, and SWOT analysis to understand the model's viability and impact. A situation analysis was conducted in the selected research sites to understand the current marketing practices, identify gaps, and determine the specific needs of marginal farmers. Results: An innovative e-marketing model has been developed for ensuring better access to smallholders in Bangladesh. This model not only seeks to give farmers direct access to buyers but also aims to tackle the problem of postharvest maize losses. The rural farmers are mostly poor, producing maize on a small scale. They don't have much power to negotiate, which makes their situation look pretty grim. MaizeConnect focuses on transforming the maize sector by providing easy-to-use technology, with three main benefits: price stabilization, market connectivity, and payment system inclusion. The model relies on collaboration between government, NGOs, and the private sector, with continuous support essential for sustained impact. Conclusion: There is a unique opportunity to transform the rural agricultural landscape in Bangladesh through ICT integration in the maize value chain—specifically in improving market access and storage solutions. The MaizeConnect model can overcome key challenges including post-harvest losses, market inefficiencies, and the integration of smallholder farmers into a more profitable value chain.
... Growing up in a digitally connected environment, these generations have developed a strong desire for seamless and intuitive experiences when interacting with technology. Davis (1989) identifies key indicators for measuring perceived ease of use, including ease of learning, controllability, clarity, and flexibility. These indicators play a crucial role in shaping the perceptions of Generations Y and Z toward technology. ...
... Yo et al. (2021) have identified a robust correlation between perceived convenience and customer satisfaction. According to Davis (1989), perceived convenience refers to the ease with which individuals can engage in activities using technology, which plays a significant role in the success of mobile commerce. Users are likely to switch products or services if they perceive a gap between their expectations of convenience and the actual experience, which can potentially lead to decreased satisfaction. ...

Financial technology, or FinTech, is revolutionizing banking worldwide by introducing innovative services. However, clients' comprehension and willingness to embrace or adapt to new technologies remain uncertain. As FinTech continues to disrupt traditional banking procedures, it is critical to investigate how these innovations affect Generation Y and Z's perceptions of service satisfaction. As a result, the objective of this study is to determine the major characteristics that impact client satisfaction and trust in the use of FinTech-based services. Data from 250 respondents who use FinTech services show that User Trust and User Satisfaction are important for them when adopting FinTech. The results indicate that security, privacy, ease of use, and convenience are the key factors positively influencing user trust and satisfaction in FinTech services, with a reciprocal relationship between trust and satisfaction. This symbiotic relationship highlights the importance for FinTech companies to prioritize both customer satisfaction and trust-building initiatives to foster long-term relationships with their users
... The TAM is a widely used theoretical framework in the field of information and technology adoption, healthcare, education and e-commerce and according to Sagnier et al. (2020), it has been propounded by Davis (1989) who note that the Technology acceptance model seeks to explain and predict the factors influencing individuals and corporate's acceptance to new technologies. Al-Adwan et al. (2023) concur adding that the TAM suggests that perceived usefulness and perceived ease to use are the key fundamental factors of the user's genuine intention to adopt a particular new technology which turn affects people actual usage. ...
... Scholars continue to expand the model to address these limitations. For instance, in their research, Venkatesh and Davis (2000), the authors extended the TAM propounded by Davis (1989) by incorporating cognitive instrumental process, social influence resulting in the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). Donmez-Turan (2020) hold a view that the social and organisational fundamental factors that can potentially impact technology acceptance beyond individual perceptions. ...

Keywords: Social media, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), travel planning. The tourism industry is significantly influenced by social media, as it serves as a primary resource for travelers to seek information about various places. This study has been conducted to examine the interrelationships among factors that impact individuals' willingness to use social media platforms for trip planning and the desire to engage in travel activities. The current investigation incorporates the theoretical frameworks of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), while also examining the impact of travel-related material on social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. The study used a sample of 388 domestic tourists who were active users of social media platforms. The findings of the study indicate that the components of TAM, specifically perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use in the context of social networks has a favorable impact on individuals' intention to engage in the social media's platform and their desire to visit destination. In addition, the aspects of TPB, specifically the attitude and perceived behavioral control, demonstrate a substantial impact on behavioral intention. The findings indicate that there is a direct and positive relationship of Instagram and YouTube travel content towards behavioral intention. While, there is no significant influence of subjective norms and Facebook's travel content on behavioral intention. This study suggests that Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) can enhance their marketing strategies by leveraging social media platforms, influencer marketing, and user-generated content to attract more tourists. ___________________________________________________________________________

Objective: This study aims to shed light on the disciplinary penalties as a result of the default violation committed by a public employee while carrying out his job duties and know how the management authority, when supervising administrative work, assesses the severity of the electronic violation for sustainable development goals. Theoretical Framework: There are several designations to indicate the act committed by the public employee while carrying out his work electronically that makes him subject to punishment, such as the term disciplinary error, disciplinary crime, disciplinary guilt, etc. Method: The use of the descriptive approach and the analytical and comparative approach in this study. Results and Discussion: This study found principles governing violations and electronic disciplinary sanctions are the same as those found in their traditional counterparts, including the legality of disciplinary sanctions, the principle of proportionality between them, and others. Also, the assessment of the electronic administrative violation is carried out through the discretionary power of the disciplinary administrative authority, similar to that of traditional violations. Research Implications: The presence of the term “electronic administration" would cause the public employee to practice his work electronically, and this may result in the occurrence of a specific act of that employee that may affect his job duties. Originality/Value: The commission of a public employee for an electronic violation leads to imposing a penalty on him to deter him and prevent him from returning to committing it. That punishment affects his job position and may lead to the imposition of the maximum penalty, which is dismissal if the violation is of a high degree of seriousness or gravity.

Despite the promise that virtual reality (VR) technology would be the new media of unprecedented connectedness, our investigation reveals that non‐owners perceive VR as a medium of social isolation, which may hinder its broader acceptance. Drawing on innovation resistance theory, we empirically test the existence of an implicit cognitive association between VR and isolation and then analyze the effects of this bias on VR adoption. Implicit Association Tests (IAT) used in Studies 1a (N = 199) and 1b (N = 200) identify a significant bias, associating VR with isolation. Study 2 (N = 401) further demonstrates the negative association of this bias with the societal image of VR users, potentially deterring willingness to engage with VR technology. Identification and intention to imitate emerge as relevant mediators. Studies 3a (N = 329) and 3b (N = 200) reveal that consumers' perceptions of isolation decrease when VR users are shown interacting with other people in real life (physical presence) but not when they are interacting through the VR platform (virtual presence). This research contributes to the understanding of innovation resistance and VR adoption by underscoring the importance of confronting and reshaping subconscious stereotypes about VR and its users.

This conceptual contribution explains an integrated approach for describing and analyzing adoption and use of IT-based entities that are encountered in today's business enterprises, society, and personal life. Its many concepts and models provide a scaffolding that practitioners and researchers can use at different levels of depth for understanding instances of IT adoption and use. Its integrated treatment of work systems, information systems, and digital agents leads to practical applications and research possibilities that do not flow from quantitative methods that have dominated research in this area. This paper's approach to IT adoption and use is based on the work system perspective. Work systems delegate responsibilities to digital agents, which are algorithmic agents that operate by executing algorithms encoded in software. Numerous capabilities that digital agents may exhibit with different degrees of smartness are identified. An AI-related example illustrates a work system's delegation of responsibilities to digital agents. The adoption of work systems and digital agents is outlined using the work system life cycle model. An agent-responsibility framework reveals many possible uses of digital agents. The framework's horizontal dimension is a spectrum of roles that digital agents may perform. Its vertical dimension is 18 facets of work from prior research. Modes of engagement and patterns of interaction between people and digital agents are discussed. After summarizing this paper's ideas, the conclusion briefly discusses this paper's divergence from much of the literature on IT adoption and use, possible applications by practitioners, and implications for conceptual, case study, and variable-centered research. Keywords: IT adoption and use, work system, digital agents, work system theory, facets of work, modes of engagement with digital agents, patterns of interaction with digital agents

The digital evolution and the adoption of technology have made it possible for information access and management to improve the social and economic impacts of the tourism sector globally. Technology has undoubtedly become the prime driver of modern e-commerce. This article examines the digital divide as a barrier to the adoption of technology by small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in the agribusiness sector in the city of Tshwane, South Africa. The study adopted a quantitative approach and data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The data were subsequently analysed by using descriptive statistics. The relationships between variables were compared and interpretations were made. The results showed that a digital divide is hampering the adoption of technology by SMMEs in the agribusiness sector. The results further revealed that the high cost of technology/online platforms, limited funds and a lack of technical know-how are some of the obstacles faced by SMMEs in the adoption of information and communication technologies. However, the study also established that if these obstacles could be addressed, the benefits would be substantial. It is concluded that empirical work is required to investigate the extent to which SMMEs in South Africa are adapting to the challenges posed by the digital divide.

This paper investigated the use of cloud accounting by SMEs in Zimbabwe. The research used a quantitative approach and simple stratified random sampling techniques, stratifying according to firm size. A total of 132 questionnaires were used to collect data, and SPSS version 22.0 was used for the analysis. The study findings revealed a very low adoption of cloud accounting among SMEs in Zimbabwe. The foremost reasons for the low adoption rate of cloud accounting are a lack of awareness of the usage of cloud accounting, concerns about data security, and cost implications. The study further revealed that lack of training, data migration challenges, technical difficulties, integration issues, and concerns about data accuracy are the challenges faced by SMEs in implementing cloud accounting. The study recommends that SMEs prioritise training and skill development for their staff to build technical expertise in the utilisation of cloud accounting software. Furthermore, as the main stakeholder, the government should launch public awareness campaigns to educate small businesses about the benefits and opportunities of adopting cloud accounting technology.

The increasing relevance of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in professional services, particularly in management consulting, and its impact on client services and operations raises the question: “What factors influence consultants’ acceptance of GenAI?” This study explores the intricate factors influencing the acceptance of GenAI, specifically focusing on management consulting. Using an adapted version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as the theoretical framework, a mixed-methods approach was employed: Twenty semi-structured interviews and a quantitative survey of 140 consultants reveal insights into consultants’ perceptions and interactions with GenAI. The findings indicate the relevance of performance and effort expectations, social influence, facilitating conditions, and concerns about GenAI’s trustworthiness. Highlighting the complexity of human-technology dynamics, some consultants view GenAI as an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in their career progression, while others report feeling ashamed when disclosing their use of it. This study broadens the scope of technology acceptance research, introduces specific adaptations and extensions of the theory to better fit the GenAI context, and provides practical managerial recommendations.

This paper examines factors influencing the adoption of parking apps and explores various app configurations to reduce reliance on traditional parking meters. The study surveyed 304 respondents in Brisbane, Australia. A mixed logit model was estimated to analyze preferences regarding various app characteristics. Results revealed that the introduction of new contactless payment options, real-time parking information, and parking expiry reminders positively influence the uptake and usage of apps. Conversely, service charges were negatively associated with the adoption of mobile payments. Willingness to pay was also evaluated for the most important attributes that influenced uptake. To further explore the impact of different app configurations, this study simulated three distinct payment scenarios, each offering customers the choice between paying through meters or apps. The simulations showed the need to consider customer backgrounds when offering new payment options. For example, the simulations underscore the significance of offering simpler versions of apps to cater to customers with limited technological proficiency or those seeking a more seamless experience. Maintaining a balanced approach between app-based payments and meters is also recommended, as some customers still prefer traditional payment methods. These insights contribute to enhancing the adoption of apps and guide the implementation of smart parking solutions in cities beyond Brisbane.

Tourism advertising and tourism promotion have over the years been the core functions of tourism departments and major tourist sites. In relation to the progressing development of new media, the mobile short-form videos, which are short, focused, and have an engaging content, appear to be a useful means of advertising tourist destinations. In the digital era, short videos have become a new communication tool between destinations and consumers. This current study, based on the S-O-R model and flow experience, investigated the psychological processes through which TikTok attributes and technology evoke flow and lead to tourists’ behavioral intention. Moreover, the TAM, i.e., PU and PEOU, as two technology factors, as well as three content attributes (entertainment, informativeness, and interactivity) were examined. The study utilized a quantitative approach and collected data from 412 respondents in China. The authors adopted the PLS-SEM method to confirm the directions hypothesized in this model. There are significant effects of PU, PEOU, and entertainment on flow experience (telepresence, time distortion, and focused attention). Interactivity impacts telepresence and time distortion, while informativeness impacts focused attention. Moreover, time distortion and focused attention impact tourists’ behavioral intention. The results highlight several limitations and offer implications for future research as well.

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various business sectors is transforming the operational landscape. This paper focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and examines how they can achieve an optimal psychological balance when using AI. The goal is to encourage employees to adopt AI while maintaining critical thinking and autonomy. This research paper uses theoretical analysis as the research method, drawing on established psychological theories such as the Technology Acceptance Model and the Job Demands-Resources Model. The findings are used to propose a model for determining an optimal balance for SMEs. The analysis reveals several psychological barriers related to anxiety, which can lead to increased stress, lower motivation, and general resistance to the use of AI tools. Conversely, once the fear is overcome, there is a risk of over-reliance on AI. Therefore, it is important to provide training that helps employees recognize the benefits of AI and its impact on their tasks, critically evaluate AI recommendations, and find a balance between automated guidance with human judgement. Finding the optimal balance in the use of AI is critical. Fostering a culture of continuous learning, and adaptability, together with supportive leadership, can help maintain this balance. In summary, through a strategic application of psychological theories, SMEs can harness the potential of AI to improve work performance and mitigate labour shortages while developing motivated and critically thinking employees.

The transition to electric vehicles has become an urgent priority due to their lower environmental impact. The automotive industry has already developed solutions for zero-emission vehicles to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, this transition heavily depends on the evolution of consumer demand. This paper focuses on Generation Z, as they will soon become a determining consumer segment in the automotive market. Our research aims to analyze Generation Z's attitude toward electric vehicles. Their attitude provides valuable insights for industry leaders regarding future consumer behavior. We analyzed the relationship between selected adoption factors (environmental concern, perceived risk, ease of use, and enjoyment) and Generation Z's attitude toward electric vehicles (measured by perceived relative advantage). Our research is based on data from Hungarian Generation Z respondents, and our findings conclude that environmental concern is less relevant than enjoyment and ease of use, which are the most impactful factors.

Previous research on technology adoption has primarily focused on younger populations, while older adults’ approach-avoidance conflicts toward digital learning have been relatively underexplored. This study aims to fill that gap by examining digital learning among older adults in Taiwan, incorporating target-specific elements related to their learning process. The unified model developed in this research highlights key barriers and provides new insights into the paradoxical hesitation older adults experience toward technology. A total of 20 older adults from Taiwan (mean age 63.85, 25% male) were interviewed. The study reveals that: (1) social influence is a major precursor for older adults’ exposure to digital technology; (2) both acceptance and barrier factors influence older adults’ digital learning; (3) older adults exhibit paradoxical hesitation toward technology; and (4) three types of senior digital learners can be identified: tech-native learners, tech-novice learners, and tech-rejector learners. This research contributes to understanding how older adults in Taiwan navigate the complexities of digital learning.
