“…In diffusion theory, the perceptions which are hypothesized to have an effect on attitude have been cast as the perceived characteristics of innovations, and have been shown in a number of studies to be linked to adoption/rejection decisions. Tornatzky and Klein (1982) found that compatibility, relative advantage, and complexity were consistently associated with innovative behaviors. Rogers and Shoemaker (1971) identified these three characteristics, as well as trialability and observability.…”

This paper reports on a field study investigating the adoption of an information technology (IT) by end-users. First, based on theories and empirical fmdings from research into the Diffusion of Innovations and the Theory of Reasoned Action, a model was developed of the factors influencing individual level decisions to use IT. The model was then field tested in a survey of 540 individuals in seven organizations. Results show that the model received good support and that it can be used for understanding the utilization of IT. Both one's own attitude and the expectations of others influenced the degree to which one used IT after adoption. Consistent with results from diffusion research, the most significant perceptions that had an effect on degree of use were ease of use, relative advantage and compatibility.

“…This is at odds with the results of a meta-analysis that found that many aspects of an innovation, including time savings, ease of operation, and rate of cost recovery are important predictors of inno-vation adoption. 33 Because ESIP availability, effectiveness, and impact on patient care were not related to adoption, it appears that hospitals may be allowing the perceived cost of safety innovations to influence the level of protection they provide to their employees.…”

“…These were all factors that a meta-analysis of 75 innovation diffusion studies found had the most consistently significant relationship to innovation adoption. 33 Future research might also examine the relative importance of government regulations (local, state, and federal) and hospital certification standards in adoption rates. Additional social influences (e.g., interorganizational visibility and leadership) 47 should also be investigated.…”

“…Earlier research underscored the role of perceived ease of use as a key factor for the successful adoption of technological innovations [30]. The other two questions concerned users' trust in the system: voters should not only be able to vote, but must be assured that their votes will be counted and attributed correctly [25], [29].…”

Abstract. Electronic voting could increase citizens' electoral participation and trust in countries characterized by fragile democratic institutions and public discredit of the political system such as those in Latin America. This paper examines attitudes towards e-voting among participants in a large scale pilot project conducted in Colombia in 2007, focusing on the perceived reliability and usability of different automated voting technologies. Using a multivariate probit model, we determine the effect of socio-demographic, geographic and technical factors on users' evaluations of electronic voting vis a vis the traditional paper ballot system. Our results show that users find e-voting not only easier than the current voting system, but also substantially more reliable. While voters' opinions on usability are driven by technical issues, their trust in the new technologies is strongly affected by individual characteristics. We conclude that e-voting entails a promising opportunity to empower voters and increase confidence in elections in Colombia.
