英文摘要 |
Technology acceptance mode(l TAM)mainly focuses on user's acceptance of new technology. However, for users, the acceptance of new technology may imply two situations: one is that users never use any prior technology before they accept new technology, the other is that users had used prior technology before they accept new technology. The primary goal of this study is to analyze and compare the situations of technology acceptance and technology switch, therefore to develop a technology switch model(TSM). Empirical results show that the relationships among the constructs of TAM model are significantly different between technology acceptance group and technology switch group. It means that the two groups are different from each other. The study further examines the TSM and finds out that the factors related to prior technology will affect the users' switch from prior to present technology. The finding implies that TSM can offer an explanation for the phenomenon of technology switch. The research result is expected to be helpful for the building of technology switch model and offer more understanding and explanation on the phenomenon of technology switch. |
