The Technology Acceptance Model on Electronic Letter (E-Letter) Application

Abstract

Many technologies are built to facilitate activities in conveying information and communication. E-Letter is a web-based application developed to simplify the process of managing the mailing system within the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Jakarta. With a proposed model modified from the Technologiy Acceptance Model (TAM), this research intends to assess the adoption of the e-Letter system in the Faculty of Science and Technology using quantitative methods. The use of the TAM model is an important area of study, although many models have been proposed to explain and predict system use. The TAM model is the one that captures the most attention in Information Systems (IS). This study wants to find out what factors influence users' intentions to use the e-letter system.
