<p>This study examined possible gender differences in pre-service teachers’ perceived acceptance of technology in their professional work under the framework of the technology acceptance model (TAM). Based on a sample of pre-service teachers, a series of progressively more stringent measurement invariance tests (configural, metric, and scalar invariances, as well as latent mean difference) were conducted. Practically, the findings revealed that, while the gender groups showed no statistical difference on <em>perceived usefulness</em>, <em>attitudes toward technology</em>, <em>intention to use technology</em>, female pre-service teachers had lower scores on <em>perceived ease of use</em>, suggesting that technology use is more challenging for female pre-service teachers than for their male counterparts. Technically, the findings provided support for full configural and metric invariance, and for partial scalar invariance. Discussions about the findings and their practical implications concerning teacher training are provided. Future research directions are also suggested.</p><p> </p>

The e-commerce industry has the potential to be one of the drivers of the domestic economy. One of the impacts of the advancement of e-commerce is the emergence of many online-based marketplaces or so-called e-marketplaces. However, a lot of these online marketplaces sell 90% imported products. In addition, the outbreak of Covid-19 in Indonesia has prompted the government to establish several policies that have significantly reduced MSME performance by up to 70-100%. This study aimed to provide an empirical analysis of the influence of factors based on the Technology of Acceptance Model (TAM) approach, namely e-marketplace self-efficacy, complexity, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, behavioral intention to use, and actual technology use in e-marketplaces. The sample consisted of MSMEs in East Java, especially those engaged in the food and beverage industry sector with ready-to-eat processed food products whose business activities use the Shopee e-marketplace application platform. This is an online shopping marketplace focused on mobile platforms. There were 150 respondents. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used. E-marketplace self-efficacy, complexity, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, behavioral intention to use, and actual technology use in e-marketplaces all had positive effects on each other. This showed that a system that offers convenience will improve behavior, habits, and performance for MSMEs in using e-marketplace activities. The theoretical and methodological implications and opportunities for further research are discussed. Keywords: MSMEs, e-marketplace, technology acceptance model

The purpose of this study is to assess and test the factors that influence user adoption of e-Government services: the Electronic Approval System (EAS). This study uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the extended TAM (TAM2), the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI), and trust to build a parsimonious yet comprehensive model of factors that influence user acceptance of the EAS. We collected data from a total of 112 public officers in 12 ministries in Cambodia. We assessed the model with regression analyses. The findings in this article show that the determinants of the model (perceived usefulness, relative advantage, and trust) explain 30.5% of the variance in user acceptance of the EAS. At the same time, image, output quality, and perceived ease of use explain 38.4% of the variance in user perception of the usefulness of the EAS. In this article, we discuss our findings, implications, and suggestions for future research.

Location-based services (LBSs) are technology related services that can provide individual users with the capability of being constantly reachable and accessing network services while on the move. The growing influence of LBS has attracted significant attention in developing countries like Bangladesh, where LBS is a new tool for the marketers. However, it is yet to become popular among the mass people. It is therefore important to understand the users' intention to adopt and use LBS extensively in their daily life. In this regard, original technology acceptance model (TAM) has been used along with several other factors to develop a conceptual model for this study. Results claim that constructs like self-efficacy, perceived social value, perceived convenience value, personalization, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use plays vital role in the adoption of LBS in Bangladesh. Accordingly, implications for practice and research, limitations and future research directions of this study are discussed.

The main results from the study confirm the influence of the variables from Technology Acceptance Model –perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness– and of perceived compatibility on the adoption of this service. Although self-expressiveness was also found to be an antecedent of perceived usefulness, all other variables –personal innovativeness, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, perceived cost, and perceived quality of service– were found to have no influence on the adoption of mobile video-calls. Other important findings are the critical role played by perceived usefulness, the existing gap between attitudes, intentions and actual use, and the role of perceived cost in the adoption of mobile video-call. Other findings and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

An enormous number of Internet users have made China a profitable e-commerce marketplace, and clothing is one of the most frequently purchased items. This study explores the predictors of consumers’ motivation to buy clothing online in China by extending the technology acceptance model. Data were collected via an online questionnaire, resulting in 504 returned responses. The results indicate that perceived usefulness has a significant effect on consumers’ intention to buy clothing online; however, no direct relationship between perceived ease of use and buying intention was found. Furthermore, perceived convenience, perceived money saving, and perceived time-saving can explain why consumers perceive buying clothing online as useful, and these perceptions have positive effects on buying intention. Additionally, the findings imply that fashion innovativeness and friend circles significantly influence consumers’ intention to purchase clothing online. This article discusses the results and provides recommendations for implication and future research.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pengguna dan manfaat dari penggunaan OpenSID yang ditujukan kepada perangkat kelurahan. Kerangka kerja yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu  Technology Acceptance Model sebagai alat untuk mengukur penerimaan kelayakan suatu teknologi. Technology Acceptance Model menggunakan 7 indikator yaitu self efficacy (kemanjuran diri), complexity (kerumitan), lack of time (keterbatasan waktu), perceived usefulness (manfaat yang dirasakan), perceived ease of use (kemudahan pengguna), behavioral intention of use (minat perilaku pengguna), actual technology use (penggunaan teknologi sesungguhnya). Penelitian ini melakukan analisis penerimaan OpenSID di area rural dan di area urban. Untuk area pedesaan maka dilakukan di 8 (delapan) desa yang berada di kecamatan Modoinding, yakni desa Sinisir, desa Makaaroyen, desa Palelon, desa Kakenturan, desa Pinasungkulan, desa Linelean dan desa Wulurmahatus. Untuk area urban, dilakukan di 9 kelurahan yang berada di wilayah kecamatan Amurang Barat dan Amurang; yakni kelurahan Kawangkoan-bawah, kelurahan Rumoong-bawah, kelurahan Buyungon, kelurahan Ranoiapo, kelurahan Uwuran 1, kelurahan Uwuran 2, kelurahan Lewet dan kelurahan Bitung. Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa perangkat desa dan aparat kelurahan yang pernah menggunakan OpenSID  mengakui bahwa OpenSID dapat membantu aparat untuk mendapatkan informasi yang tepat. Meskipun diakui bahwa OpenSID memberikan manfaat dalam tugas dan pekerjaan, namun membutuhkan waktu yang lama dalam mempelajari OpenSID.Kata kunci— Desa, Kelurahan, OpenSID, Model Penerimaan Teknologi

Pandemi Covid-19 yang terjadi bersamaan dengan proses penerimaan mahasiswa baru membuat Universitas XYZ mengembangkan sistem informasi pendaftaran online untuk melayani proses tersebut pada tahun akademik 2020/2021 karena pembatasan sosial berskala besar. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengevaluasi tingkat penggunaan dan penerimaan pengguna terhadap sistem tersebut sehingga dapat memberikan rekomendasi dalam pemeliharaan sistem. Pengkajian dilakukan dengan menggunakan konstruk Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), yaitu Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Attitude Towards Using (ATU), Behavior Intention to Use (BIU), dan Actual Technology Use (ATU). Konstruk TAM dianalisis dengan metode Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Hasil pengujian membuktikan ada pengaruh positif dan signifikan antara PU terhadap ATG dengan nilai 2,398, PEU terhadap PU dengan nilai 12,539, PEU terhadap ATG dengan nilai 8,609, ATG terhadap BIU dengan nilai 5,902, serta BIU terhadap ATU dengan nilai t statistik 28,806. Sedangkan hubungan antara PU terhadap BIU tidak memiliki relasi yang signifikan karena nilai t-statistiknya kurang dari t-tabel, yaitu 1,912. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kemudahan menggunakan sistem memiliki pengaruh yang kuat terhadap sikap pengguna. Sementara sikap pengguna mempengaruhi niat perilaku, dan niat perilaku pengguna mempengaruhi penggunaan teknologi secara aktual. Sehingga untuk pemeliharaan sistem, harus diperhatikan dari sisi kemudahan dalam penggunaan sistem.
