Abstract:
Technology acceptance refers to a user's willingness to employ technology for the tasks it is designed to support. A key assumption in the technology acceptance literature is that 'Behavioral Intention to Use' (BIU) has a direct and significant relationship with 'actual usage'. However, no consensus has been reached between opposing camps of researchers. This study contributes to the existing debate by testing competing models involving BIU and usage using a sample of 131 university students. The results provide some support for using behavioral intention to use (BIU) as an acceptable proxy to measure actual usage.
