The antecedents of technology use involve user, system, task and organization
characteristics as well as externalities which can affect all of these entities. Evaluation of all
entity attributes would be impossible; however, measurement of the interaction effects
between these entities can act as a proxy for individual attribute values. A model is proposed
which, based upon evaluation of these interaction effects, should predict technology
utilization. This model will provide insight into the relationship between the antecedents of …

Implementations of information technology solutions to address specific information
problems are only successful when the technology is utilized. The antecedents of
technology use involve user, system, task and organization characteristics as well as
externalities which can affect all of these entities. However, measurement of the interaction
effects between these entities can act as a proxy for individual attribute values. A model is
