Title
A Household Internet Adoption Model Based On Integration Of Technology Acceptance Model, Theory Of Planned Behavior, And Uses And Gratifications Theory: An Empirical Study On Iranian Households
Abstract
Existing theories in the technology acceptance and Internet adoption fields have examined the adoption among users, which can be classified into two categories: technological and behavioral perspectives. In this paper; the authors propose an integrated household Internet adoption model combining both perspectives to provide a holistic view on the subject. For this purpose, the three primal models of technology acceptance and usage behavior; the technology acceptance model (TAM), theory of planned behavior (TPB), and uses and gratifications theory (U&G), are selected to construct the integrated model. In this way, based on the dimensions of the studied theories, specific constructs are defined to integrate these dimensions according to their similarities and appropriateness. The relationship between the proposed model's constructs are then hypothesized based on the literature findings, and examined in a case study of household Internet adoption among Iranian households. Also, structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to illustrate the relationships' coefficients between proposed model constructs, and derived implications for the Internet adoption among bunion households are discussed based on the research findings.
