Impact of Perceived Desirability, Perceived Feasibility and Performance Expectancy on Use of It Innovation: Technology Adoption Decisions and Use Behaviour

Abstract

Theoretical perspectives from the field of entrepreneurship can be used to examine entrepreneurs' intention to use IT innovations. This study collected 412 completed survey responses from entrepreneurs and used structural equation modelling to test the proposed technology acceptance decision model. The results showed the significant effect of perceived desirability, perceived feasibility and performance expectancy as the salient antecedents of intention to adopt and use IT innovation. This study examined the effect of external factors which prevent or facilitate the adoption and use of new technology. The moderating effect of the propensity to act is examined and the results indicated that when the individual propensity to act is high, taking action becomes more desirable and feasible. This study revealed that, in the current IS environment, individuals adopt and use a new system due to the attractiveness of the system and perceived feasibility, which are derived from intrinsic interest and affective beliefs.

Adopting DevOps practices: an enhanced unified theory of acceptance and use of technology framework

“…[11], [12] Perceived Organizational Usefulness (POU) POU is defined as evaluating the effectiveness of adopting a system with its fundamental elements to an organization. [13] Training Training provides management and employees with knowledge and information about the newly adopted systems.…”

“…Four critical factors identified in the literature can significantly influence behavioral intention to adopt and use DevOps practices [2], [10], [12], [45], [46]. Those factors will be integrated with original UTAUT constructs as new factors that may impact DevOps adoption and be vital in DevOps practices adoption as recommended by researchers in software development organizations [2], [9], [47].…”

“…So, the following hypothesis proposes to be tested: H5: Perceived DevOps practices (PDP) have a positive effect on the intention to adopt the DevOps practices in software development organizations. Perceived feasibility (PF) is adapted from Bandura [11], as cited by Moghavvemi et al [12]. Bandura argues that "taking action requires consideration of not just perceived desirability but also perceived feasibility" [11].…”

“…Bandura argues that "taking action requires consideration of not just perceived desirability but also perceived feasibility" [11]. Perceived feasibility represents the perception of an individual capability (personal capabilities) to achieve a specific job or group of tasks [11], [12]. It concerns the ability of individuals and their judgment on their capabilities to use innovations [49], [50].…”

“…Some of those models are tailored to the organization as an alternative, and organizations can use pre‫ـ‬existing forms [7]. There are four widely used models: software development life cycle (SDLC), rapid application development model (RAD), prototype model, and component assembly models [12]. Mukred et al [2] have described the standard SDLC as comprising six phases: requirements, specification, design, implementation, maintenance, and retirement.…”
