A Conceptual Model for Impact of Employee Readiness for EBusiness on Technology Acceptance

Qin Yuanjian, Ahmed Fawad

Abstract— This paper is part of an ongoing doctoral research and proposes a conceptual model to investigate the impact of employee readiness for E-business (EREB) on technology acceptance with respect to use of any new technology at workplace. The proposed model is based on employee readiness for Ebusiness (EREB) by Jung-Yu & Chorng-Shyong and Davis' technology acceptance model (TAM). It is derived from the existing perspectives of organizational change management theories while focusing on the employee side by treating adoption of new technology as the change process. The model proposes that EREB has an influence on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, leading to actual use of technology.
