BACKGROUND Despite the importance of continuing medical education (CME) for GPs, there has been little research into how providers decide what types of CME to deliver to GPs. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the intention of providers to provide more effective types of CME; and to design a survey instrument which can be used to test the applicability of Triandis' model of social b...

This paper discusses the use of three published models, the Technology acceptance model (TAM), Rogers diffusion of Innovation theory (IDT), and the Triandis theory of interpersonal behaviour (TIB), and attempts to bring them together in an integrated model to better predict the adoption of new information and communication technologies by a cohort of health professionals within UK primary care ...

Mobile Data Services (MDS) encompass all non-voice value-adding services accessible through mobile networks. The adoption and mass acceptance of MDS has been a subject of discourse among academics and practitioners alike, especially when taking into consideration the non-unitary path that MDS adoption patterns have followed in different parts of the world. In view of this observation, our study...

This article focuses on an application of the Triandis Model in researching Internet usage and the intention to use Internet. Unlike other TAM-based studies undertaken to date, the Triandis Model offers a sociological account of interaction between the various factors, particularly attitude, intention, and behavior. The technique of Structural Equation Modeling was used to assess the impact tho...

Our study was initiated to provide a better understanding of the factors influencing employees’ non-work-related computing (NWRC) behavior by comparing two models, one based on Triandis’ Theory of Interpersonal Behavior (TIB) and the other derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Results of the study showed that the TIB-based model had higher explanatory power than the TPB-based model...

This study develops a competency maturity model to describe the skills of an data analyst that positively influence data warehouse usage and insight generation in today’s data warehouse environment. Exploratory case studies were used to identify critical competencies and develop new measures of data warehouse usage and success. Grounded in Triandis’ [48] theory of motivation, a research model w...

lues at the cultural level, such as those employed by Hofstede (1984), Triandis (1995) and Schwartz (1994). Hofstede proposes a one dimensional structure called simply individualism-collecti vism; those cultures that emphasize the autonomy of the person are grouped under individualism, while those cultures whose most important values place emphasis on the dependency of the individual with respe...

The authors performed 2 experiments to examine the accessibility of thoughts about group memberships (i.e., collective self-cognitions) relative to thoughts about traits, states, and behaviors (i.e., private self-cognitions). Few collective self-cognitions were accessible for the present participants from an individualist culture. Furthermore, collective self-cognitions were highly associated w...
