Abstract:

This paper aims to analyze the factors impacting users’ behavioral intentions of accessingthe National Document Information Resource Guarantee Platforms (NDIRGPs). For this specificpurpose, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Technology Readiness Index (TRI) wereadopted to build a conceptual relationship model to verify the relationships among perceptions, personalattributes, and intentions. The following hypotheses were also proposed: users’ perceived usefulnesspositively influences their intentions of use; users’ optimism and perceived ease of use positivelyimpact their perceived usefulness; and users’ optimism and innovativeness of using platforms positivelyimpact perceived ease of use. Through designing a questionnaire survey to collect data and analyze therelationships among perceptions, personal attributes, and intentions, and building a structural equationmodel to test the hypotheses, we found that the users’ perceived usefulness was positively correlatedto their intentions of use. Users’ optimism and perceived ease of use were positively correlated totheir perceived usefulness, and users’ optimism and innovativeness of using platforms were positivelycorrelated to their perceived ease of use. Finally, we made some recommendations for further developingand improving the NDIRGPs.
