Method evidence record

Technology Acceptance Model Questionnaire

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is a foundational framework introduced by Fred Davis in 1989 to explain user adoption of information technology. Published in MIS Quarterly, TAM posits that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are the primary determinants of technology acceptance, regardless of an individual's prior computer experience or technical background.
