Since the advance of technology, etravel becomes one of potential activities in conducting business transactions especially in tourism industries. This study aims to identify the key success factors that influence the use of e-travel website in Padang based on users' point of view. There are some variables as influencing factors of e-travel website adoption including enjoyment, usefulness, ease of use, and the use of e-travel website. The findings of the current conceptual study build the theoritical framework of e-travel model success according to e-travel user's perspectives in Indonesia. The study is analyzed emperically using SEM technique. The finding of this study is all of the factors (enjoyment, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness) significantly affect the use of e-travel website.

“…The hedonic features of email interface agents are conceptualized in the form of the perceived enjoyment construct that is an important factor influencing an individual's perceptions of the usefulness of computers (de Souza Dias, 1998). The nature and predictive power of perceived enjoyment has not been fully explored in previous projects.…”

a b s t r a c tThis study presents and empirically validates a model that describes user adoption behavior towards email notification interface agents from the end-user perspective. In addition to the original Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) constructs, the model included perceived enjoyment, computer playfulness, and personal innovativeness in the domain of IT. Data were collected from 75 actual email interface agent users, the model was tested by employing PLS (Partial Least Squares) techniques, and several conclusions were offered. First, current email interface agent users are highly innovative individuals who perceive the technology as very enjoyable, useful, and easy to use. Second, in contrast to prior expectations, no direct effect of personal innovativeness on perceived usefulness of interface agents was found. This suggests that more innovative people do not necessarily perceive this technology more useful than less innovative ones. Third, the degree of personal innovativeness had a strong positive direct effect on the extent of perceived ease of use of email interface agents. This finding supports much of the prior research on the role of personal innovativeness in user technology perceptions. At the same time, with regards to the link between perceptions of enjoyment with an email interface agent and perceptions of its usefulness, no relationship was found. Fourth, user perceptions of enjoyment with an email interface agent were found to be the key influencing factor of future behavioral usage intentions towards an agent.

“…Technology acceptance has been investigated extensively in the information systems and management literature [21][22][23][24][25]. By adapting the Theory of Reasoned Action [26] to the information systems context, Davis et al [21] proposed the theoretical framework-Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to predict people's acceptance of computer technologies.…”

Smart buildings conserve energy and create a responsive, comfortable, and productive indoor environment for users and occupants. As a crucial component of smart buildings, smart building management system (SBMS) should provide a wide range of functions and bring about the intended benefits upon successful deployment. This paper identifies salient SBMS attributes and explores key factors influencing building professionals’ intention to use the system in commercial buildings. Responses were collected from 327 Hong Kong building professionals. Data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling based on the refined Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Exploratory factor analysis shows that intelligent building operations and safety and recovery readiness are two dimensions of SBMS emerged. Specifically, intelligent building operations include intelligent and optimal scheduling of building systems, monitor and control of building facilities, having an intelligent and interactive interface, and enabling alarm settings and automatic notifications, showing the importance on the application of electrical engineering in smart building management. Structural equation model (SEM) results indicate that facilitating conditions affect habit, hedonic motivation, social influence, performance expectancy and effort expectancy. Additionally, habit, hedonic motivation and effort expectancy significantly affect building professionals’ intention to use SBMS. Practical implications of SBMS attributes for energy management and the ways in which SBMS is encouraged to be used by building professionals are given.
