Abstract

Purpose – This paper is the second of two concerned with a meta-analysis of the technology acceptance model (TAM). This part aims to present a rigorous and quantitative meta-analytic review of 569 findings from 95 TAM studies as a basis for identifying gaps and providing guidelines for implementation management and conduct of future research. The paper also seeks to investigate the potential impact of methodological characteristics on the meta-analytic findings. Design/methodology/approach – The approach consists of meta-analysis following Hedges and Olkin's procedures, moderator-analysis using homogeneity Q-values, analogue to ANOVA and weighted regression method. Findings – The dominant focus in empirical investigations of the TAM has been on modelling intention for its effect on self-reported usage behaviour, while the attitudinal construct has been neglected. This raises three questions: whether the exclusion of attitude from the TAM is beneficial for understanding of technology usage behaviour in mandatory settings; whether the revised TAM holds equally for mandatory and voluntary settings; and whether the emphasis on measuring intentions and self-report use rather than actual usage is warranted. An additional question answered in the meta-analysis is about the relative importance of PU and PEOU. Originality/value – The paper provides a rigorous meta-analysis to progress towards a unified view of the TAM.
