We study the role of social influence from different workplace referent groups, like superiors and colleagues from the same or the IT department, on the intention to adopt. An empirical analysis, using data from 152 firms, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and related approaches reveals that social influence on adoption significa… Show more

“…This inclusion is based on appropriate theoretical foundations (Ajzen 1991;Taylor and Todd 1995b) and empirical findings (e.g., Eckhardt et al 2009;Foon and Fah 2011;Yeow and Loo 2009) which support the effects of facilitating conditions on behavioural intention. This research also argues that anxiety could be used as an external variable in the proposed model.…”

Further research can build upon the findings of Eckhardt et al (2009) in order to assess whether the social influence of the various referent groups in private or workplace contexts differ within and across different cultures (e.g. the influence of a supervisor in contrast to the influence of colleagues and friends).…”
