| Abstract: | This paper integrates the theoretical perspectives and empirical findings of research on personal computing acceptance in small firms and proposes and tests structural equation model examining the role of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intra- and extra-organizational factors in promoting personal computing acceptance in small firms. The findings indicate that perceived ease of use is a dominant factor in explaining perceived usefulness and system usage, and perceived usefulness has a strong effect on system usage. Exogenous variables influence both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, particularly managment support and external support. Relatively little support was found for the influence of both internal support and internal training. |
