savininkų ketinimą priimti IT inovacijas. Polinkis veikti yra stipriausias veiksnys, lemiantis Malaizijos SVV savininkų ketinimą naudoti IT inovacijas. Rezultatai rodo, kad, SVV savininkų nuomone, IT naujovės patrauklumas yra svarbus veiksnys priimant sprendimą diegti IT inovacijos. IT naujovių suvokiamas naudingumas (veiklos trukmė) yra trečias svarbus veiksnys priimant sprendimą dėl naujų technologijų naudojimo savo darbo vietoje. Autoriai nustatė būtinumo suvokimo, polinkio veikti ir veikimo trukmės, SVV savininkams priimant sprendimą, ar naudoti IT inovacijas, įtaką. Nustatytas patirties ir ketinimo ryšys – SVV savininkai, neturintys informacinių technologijų naudojimo patirties, nesuinteresuoti diegti ir naudoti IT inovacijas savo įmonėse. Šis tyrimas prisideda prie technologijų diegimo tyrimų, padidina IT inovacijų naudos suvokimą SVV įmonėse Malaizijos Klango slėnyje.
The results suggest that attractiveness of IT innovation is an important determinant towards the intention to adopt IT innovation. The result revealed that SME owners are more willing to use IT innovation, which is more attractive. Perceived usefulness (performance expectancy) of IT innovation is the third most important factor that SME owners consider when they want to adopt and use new technology in their jobs. The results also revealed that experience moderated the relationship between determinants and behavior intention. Research Limitations/implications - The number of male and female SMEs owners is not equal and our respondents were mostly men compared to women. This study measure intention to use IT innovation, and did not measure use behavior. Practical implications - This study extends to knowledge on IS adoption behavior research by using entrepreneurial event models in the context of technology acceptance. Furthermore, from the SME owners’ points of view, this study has shed some light on the adoption and use behavior and clarified the situation for SME owners when they want to adopt and use IT innovation to be successful in their job and market. Originality/value - This study is one of the first to utilize the Entrepreneurial Event Model (EPM) to the technology acceptance domain. It also provides a broader view of the IT innovation adoption decision and sheds some additional light on individual technology usage behavior.
