“…Previous studies have suggested that the participants had positive perception of the mobile phone (6) and adoption of 7 dimensions of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, facilitating conditions, social influence, perceived value, workflow practices, and behavioral intention to use. (7). The CHWs also found it took some effort to become skillful.…”

The magnanimous functionalities and flexibility of smartphone device make them well suited for collecting field data, especially for the local healthcare professional. This paper describes the results of the acceptability and feasibilityfor community health workers (CHWs) after using smartphone application called ‘OSOMO prompt’ app. The results indicated that the comparison of means of one sample t-test responses to the questions on the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of ‘OSOMO prompt’ app. The CHWs found that the high average scores of using the ‘OSOMO prompt’ app were useful in their job (mean=3.97±.68) and easy to use (Mean=3.95±.62). The app also had high score point of improving the quality of CHWs work, easy to do CHWs job, clearly and stability app while all items of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were statistical significantly (p-value <.001). In conclusion, challenging of smartphone ‘OSOMO prompt’ app was feasible and acceptable to CHWs.

“…Taking from this perspective, the intentions and usage of mobile phones by the employees of SMEs are assumed to be influenced by their personal perceptions towards a number of factors, including the way they respond to the queries while performing their duties by using mobile phones as the dependable technology. Some of the factors have already been explained and tested in previous studies in other contexts (Byomire & Maiga, 2015;Prieto et al, 2015;Sun, Wang, Guo, & Peng, 2013;van Biljon & Kotzé , 2007). Other insights were borrowed from studies which have successfully extended TAM in explaining other factors such as job relevance (Kim, 2008).…”

“…The literature is a rich with models and theories that explain the acceptance of technological innovations in different contexts (Byomire & Maiga, 2015;Davis, 1989; Prieto, Miguelá ñez, & Garcí a-Peñalvo, 2015; Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003). Some of them are more specific in terms of technology (like.eLearning, mobile phones, cloud computing and desktop computing) and others are in terms of operational contexts (like in the hotels, healthcare environment and primary schools).…”

The mobility and pervasiveness have created many opportunities of using mobile phones in performing activities of SMEs. This is due to the low ICT readiness especially in SMEs operating in less developed countries compared to large firms. Some of the challenges facing Tanzanian SMEs include but are not limited to poor ICT infrastructures, lack of ICT skills, lack of management support, poor financial capabilities and lack of reliable electrical power supply. While there is a number of studies which explains the factors influencing adoption and usage of mobile phones in SMEs, it is still unclear whether the mandatoriness has an impact on such acceptance. Understanding the voluntary aspects provides informed decision-making for SME managers and potential stakeholders on identifying the issues which needs their attention. This study involved a survey of 459 respondents from Tanzanian SMEs using SEM and AMOS. The results show that the mandated use of mobile phones in the SMEs has a moderating effect on the overall acceptance of mobile phones in performing daily activities. Recommendations and suggestions for future works are also highlighted in this article.

“…Few of the previous studies which used TAM as a benchmark included the context of Maternal pre-school teachers in acceptance of mobile phones where they found that Perceived Usefulness (PU) of the technology and Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) tends to statistically influence the Behavioural Intention (BI) (Byomire and Maiga, 2015). Principally, PEU tends to influence PU because it indirectly influences the intention to adopt technology and finally its Usage.…”

Performing daily activities in SMEs requires the effective utilization of existing technologies. In developing countries, SMEs play great roles in stimulating economies as well as the creation of employees. One of the technologies which are mainly relied upon by the employees of SMEs is mobile phone technology due to the low readiness in desktop computing. Literature has provided insights on the factors which influence the successful use of mobile phone technology and various recommendations were presented which highlights the issues which if are worked on properly will eventually fuel the acceptance of mobile phone technology in SMEs. However, the literature lacks the insights which discuss the relevance of the job which is performed by the employees to the acceptance of mobile phone technology. The essence of this is that it is unclear whether the roles of employees within SMEs might have an impact on the uptake of mobile phone technology. This research involves triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods.
