“…Many studies have used the TAM to successfully explain and predict the adoption of information technology in a workplace environment (Taylor & Todd, 1995;Igbaria et al, 1997;Venkatesh & Morris, 2000;Moon & Kim, 2001;van der Heijden, 2003;Bruner II & Kumar, 2005;Luarn & Lin, 2005;Wu & Wang, 2005).

The last 10 years have seen a significant increase in the provision of consumer services through technology. Computers, mobile phones, the Internet and self-service kiosks are examples of technology platforms that have enabled services to be offered to consumers in new ways. In South Africa, technology-enabled financial services have the potential to expand financial inclusion, especially at the bottom of the pyramid. There is a need to understand how consumers adopt technology-enabled services. Using grounded theory, an enhancement to the Technology Acceptance Model is proposed and developed to explain adoption of technologyenabled financial services. Confirmatory factor analysis is used to validate the model against data obtained from a survey. The proposed model fits the data well. Implications of the model are discussed.

“…Moreover, van der Heijden [34] indicated that PEOU and perceived enjoyment are stronger predictors of ITU in a hedonic IS than PU and concluded that hedonic nature of an IS is an important boundary condition to the validity of the TAM. In addition, Bruner and Kumar [54] suggested an important way to increase fun is to increase ease of use. This study therefore hypothesizes that: …”

This study seeks to investigate whether information professionals, as well as LIS students, are ready to assimilate Facebook in their work and educational environments. The study uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as well as some characteristics of the “Big Five” model of personality as a theoretical base from which to predict factors that may influence the adoption of Facebook by information professionals as well as by LIS students. Findings reveal that the TAM, as well as other personal characteristics, significantly predict the likelihood of Facebook use and highlight the importance of individual characteristics when considering technology acceptance.
