Empowering smart customer to participate in electricity supply system: Extended of technology acceptance model

Based on the literature on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and related efforts in technology adoption research, this paper proposed an extended model for analyzing supply system acceptance of users. Innovation adoption has been widely researched in academe, industry and the public sector. The user readiness to adopt and use smart grid will be evaluates using Technology Acceptance Model. This literature review is based on articles relating to TAM model being identified and observed to have been published in journals from databases EBSCOhost , Emerald, Proquest New Platform, Science Direct and IEEE Explore between the year 1998-2013. The most recent studies investigate the TAM model in information system and involved service industries in its scope have been reviewed. A discussion on the TAM model and factor on consumer acceptance smart grid is presented and conceptual framework and model are proposed

Users' trust in information resources in the Web environment: a status report

This study has three aims; to provide an overview of the ways in which trust is either assessed or asserted in relation to the use and provision of resources in the Web environment for research and learning; to assess what solutions might be worth further investigation and whether establishing ways to assert trust in academic information resources could assist the development of information literacy; to help increase understanding of how perceptions of trust influence the behaviour of information users

An Examination of Internet Effectiveness for Non-work Activities

The Internet is frequently used for non-work activities. When used for these purposes, the effectiveness of the Internet in accomplishing these leisure activities becomes an important consideration. Research literature has remained relatively silent in regards to the examination of accomplishing non-work tasks through the Internet. This study uses Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a basis to predict different types of common user web activities—entertainment, communicating, and information searching. Using Structured Equation Modeling, this paper examines the effectiveness of the Internet in accomplishing non-work activities. In this study, the overall analysis of the survey data suggests that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness predict all three types of Internet activities. The findings of this study suggest a refinement for constructs in web usage studies and contribute to the expanding of TAM to predict perceived effectiveness of Internet usage
