Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptation of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that
can be employed to explain and predict the acceptance of SMDs. Also included in the
model are a number of external and new moderating variables that can be used to
explain user intentions and subsequent usage behaviour. The model holds that Perceived
Mobility Value and Perceived Enjoyment are direct determinants of usage intention and behaviour and that Activity-based Usage and Device Characteristics are posited to mediate the impact of these constructs. The proposed model aims to enhance one’s understanding of consumer motivations for using SMDs and can aid efforts to promote
the adoption and diffusion of these devices.
