“…The problem domain concerns retail merchandise planning, a business process that attempts to identify and create a store atmosphere that encourages and increases consumer purchasing. Retail merchandise planning involves not only the physical environment in which shopping will occur, but also the layout of fixtures (e.g., rack, shelf, table, cash register), and the selection and placement of merchandise on the fixtures for retail sale (Tarlton & LaBrecque, 1993) all of which are intended to create an aesthetically pleasing and buying-conducive atmosphere. Aesthetic factors include such things as lighting (Morin, 1998), music (Marsh, 1999), product information displays and visuals (Hill, King, & Cohen, 1996), paint color and furnishings (Reda, 1995), and fixture and product placement (Troy, 1997;Tyreman & Walton, 1998).…”

The nomological network of the technology acceptance model is expanded through the addition of affective and task-preparation variables as antecedents to traditional predictors of technology acceptance:output quality, result demonstrability, and ease of use. An empirical study involving a visual/simulation information system, set in the domain of retail merchandise planning, finds that negative affectivity (NA) is a consistent and strong negative antecedent to perceptions of output quality, result demonstrability, and ease of use. In contrast, positive affectivity (PA) is a significant and positive antecedent to ease of use, but not necessarily a significant antecedent to either output quality or result demonstrability. A new construct developed from the job characteristics literature-perceived task preparation-measured the subject's perceptions of the pre-system usage training, which included task design and modeling instruction, scenarios of activities within the prospective information system, discussions and review of the system documentation, and highly structured, pre-task system use activities. Perceived task preparation was found to be a significant and strong positive indicator of computer self-efficacy.
