E-Business Adoption Models in Organizational Contexts on The TAM Extended Model: A Preliminary Assessment

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) performance studies is a step that can be implemented and applied to several types of SMEs. One of them is developing a model by combining and integrating a pre-existing model, the e-business adoption model, with the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) model. The development of this model is done by using the logic of the IPO (input-process-output) and the causal model by combining, adopting, and adapting the previous model. This analysis is a quantitative study. The research objective is to determine the psychometric properties and to test the questionnaires distributed before the next research stage. The questionnaire uses a Likert scale with 5 Likert scales. The influence of the path formed is composed of 12 links and produces seven variables. The formed variables are developed into 35 indicators, where one variable form five indicators. The results of the validity and reliability tests showed positive results with two indicator rejections because of both items unfulfilled the used threshold. These two indicators were no longer used at the next research stage. Based on this, this model is worthy of consideration for testing the inner model so that it can provide a further picture of the development of the model.
