Abstract: To gain a better understanding of the antecedents and determinants of user acceptance of activity-based information (ABI), we collected data from employees at various levels of an organization (The Site) that had recently implemented ABCM and was currently integrating the system into operations. Data obtained from an in-depth, web-based, questionnaire administered to a sample of Site employees and managers was initially factor-analyzed to validate the constructs examined in this study. Path analysis was then applied to test hypotheses concerning factors that influence user acceptance of ABI.We find that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have a significant influence on usersÂ’ acceptance of ABI. The findings also suggest that the difficulty of the task and decision-making activities, level of involvement in the ABCM implementation and adequacy of the ABI training received influence ABI acceptance indirectly through their effects on usersÂ’ perceptions of ABI. User involvement, ABI training and task difficulty are also directly related to user acceptance of ABI.
