User centric cloud service model in public sectors: Policy implications of cloud services

“…This premise has been also validated in public sectors (Hung et al, 2006;Hung et al, 2009;Loo et al, 2009). SN is defined as an individual's perception of whether people important to them think the behavior should be performed.…”

In particular, TAM has been widely used in IT acceptance in the public sector (Hamner & Qazi, 2009;Hung et al, 2006;Hung et al, 2009;Loo et al, 2009). Based on the wide applicability in the public sector and the findings of previous studies (Brown & Venkatesh, 2005;Davis, 1989;Shin, 2008), the following hypotheses are proposed:…”

“…TAM has been criticized for its lack of contextual understanding (Venkatesh & Brown, 2001), a factor that is even more essential in policy implications. It is unclear which specific factors facilitate and/or inhibit user acceptance in cloud computing in the public sector (Loo et al, 2009).

Youths’ Social Media Adoption: Theoretical Model and Empirical Evidence

“…Moreover, according to technology acceptance model perceived ease of use may have an indirect effect on systems usage through perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989). Many previous studies has use perceived ease of use to explain individuals acceptance /adoption of social media (Kwon, Park, & Kim, 2014;Lin & Lu, 2011;Loo, Yeow, & Chong, 2009;Pookulangara & Koesler, 2011;Shin, 2010). Moreover, it is believed that perceived usefulness of the system will mediate the relationship between its perceived ease of use and actual usage (Davis, 1989).…”
