The User Acceptance Analysis of Information Systems at University’s Research Department Using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

Abstract

The transition from a conventional system to an information system-based one entails a greater investment of time from users to adapt. However, this process ultimately results in a better understanding and acceptance of information technology. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the degree of acceptance of information systems within the Department of Research and Community Service at XYZ University. The research utilizes two variables within the TAM framework: PU and PEU. The analysis revealed a significant correlation (Sig. 2-tailed) worth 0.000 < 0.05 between PU (X1) and PEU (X2). This finding indicates a strong correlation between the PU variable (X1) and the acceptance variable. Furthermore, the calculated rvalue for the relationship between PU (X1) and acceptance (Y) is 0.989, which exceeds the value in the rtable 0.254. Therefore, It can be inferred that a correlation exists between the PU variable (X1) also acceptance variable. Similarly, the calculated rvalue for PEU (X2) & Y : 0.991, It also exceeds the rtable value : 0.254, suggesting a correlation PEU variable (X2) and the acceptance variable (Y). It should be noted that the positive calculated r or Pearson correlations indicate a positive correlation between the variables. Therefore, it can be inferred that higher ease of use leads to greater acceptance.
