新的信息技术是否被其预定用户接受，一直是信息系统研究人员和从业人员面临的一个重要问题。在文献中已经开发了几种模型，以促进对采用新信息技术的过程的理解。本文提出了一种新的结构，进一步阐明了明确的技术接受模型的关系，并描述了一个操作措施，这个结构具有理想的心理测量特性。在信息技术领域的个人创新性的结构，假设表现出调节作用的前因，以及个人对新的信息技术的看法的后果。该结构是在以万维网为代表的创新背景下开发和验证的。理论和实践的影响进行了讨论。
The acceptance of new information technologies by their intended users persists as an important issue for researchers and practitioners of information systems. Several models have been developed in the Literature to facilitate understanding of the process by which new information technologies are adopted. This paper proposes a new construct that further illuminates the relationships explicit in the technology acceptance models and describes an operational measure for this construct that possesses desirable psychometric properties. The construct, personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology, is hypothesized to exhibit moderating effects on the antecedents as well as the consequences of individual perceptions about a new information technology. The construct was developed and validated in the context of the innovation represented by the World-Wide Web. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
