“…There are a number of dimensions to relative advantage, including savings in time and effort, economic profitability, low initial cost, and a decrease in discomfort [Rogers 2003]. Research into IT adoption has overwhelmingly investigated the first of these, savings in time and effort [Van Slyke et al 2008]. This idea may be equated to perceived usefulness, a key component in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).…”

Among the many characteristics that impact the use of e-commerce, one that has received relatively little attention is gender. Extant evidence suggests that men and women differ in their beliefs regarding the use of information technology-related innovations, including e-commerce. However, less is known about how gender moderates the impact of various beliefs on behavioral intentions. In this study, we use a model derived from diffusion of innovations theory to examine gender differences in the degree to which various beliefs regarding e-commerce impact intentions to make purchases online. Results indicate that gender does moderate the influence of beliefs on use intentions in the context of consumer e-commerce. Specifically, our study finds that relative advantage is relatively more important for men and that compatibility is relatively more important for women. We explain why this may be true, discuss the implications of these findings and suggest several areas for future research.

“…In our study, we were able to determine the discriminant validity of the compatibility and relative advantage constructs, measured according to perceived usefulness (Van Slyke et al 2008). The high discriminant validity shown by these concepts proves the appropriateness of measuring relative advantage according to perceived usefulness.…”

This study analyses the factors that influence citizens' intention to use egovernment activities offered by municipalities in Spain. For this purpose, we developed a straightforward user behaviour model that considers the components of the TAM and DOI models simultaneously, harnessing their synergies and factoring in the role of citizens' trust. We also examined the moderating role that population size can play in the model's behaviour. Among the results we obtained, it is important to note that user trust not only improved the model's fit, but also showed a significant effect on intention of use for all the population sizes that we analysed. The other significant relationship for all the samples linked ease of use to perceived usefulness. For the other relationships between variables, we observed the moderating role of size for the populations we considered.

“…Perceived critical mass (Lou, Luo, & Strong, 2000) represents subjective evaluation of this critical mass. Upon reaching critical mass, users are more willing to use the system, even if a positive affective response toward that use is lacking (Van Slyke, Johnson, Hightower, & Elgarah, 2008). Therefore, perceived critical mass positively predicts knowledge acquisition and knowledge creation/diffusion behaviors.…”

This study investigates how social factors affect the use of corporate wikis to share knowledge in organizations. Adopting a holistic approach, the study fills the gap in research on social factors' influence on collaborative knowledge sharing. The study thereby identifies relevant factors for successful knowledge sharing using Web 2.0 tools. Building on research into knowledge sharing, technology adoption, and social theories, this study explores the following social factors: social influence (i.e., subjective norm, social identity, and group norm), social anxiety, and perceived critical mass. The research model explains how these variables affect two knowledge sharing behaviors: knowledge acquisition and knowledge creation/diffusion. Results show that social influence-mainly subjective norm-and attitude toward collaborative knowledge sharing predict intention to use corporate wikis, and that perceived critical mass affects both knowledge sharing behaviors but social anxiety does not. Perceived critical mass is the most important predictor of knowledge sharing behaviors.
