In a recent paper, Venkatesh et al. (2003) examine a series of models that explain or predict user acceptance of information technology. These models included the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis et al., 1989), Computer Self Efficacy (Compeau and Higgins, 1995) and other models of user behavior, intention, or affect. Their study combined these models to form a Unified Model, which the authors...
