Psycosocial aspects of technology acceptance in organizations

Information technologies acceptance may be defined as the will of a group of users to employ information technology in order to carry out the tasks technology is meant to help (Davis, 1989; Dillon, 2001). Acceptance may be conceptualized as the outcome variable of a psychological process the potential users of a technology carry out in order to take decisions regarding the use of the technology itself. The main research objective of this study is to contribute to the validation of a model in which variables deriving from different theoretical contributions are integrated and which is able to predict and explain the phenomenon of technology acceptance in different organizational contexts.
