Affordances Theory

Affordance Theory describes the possible actions an actor can perform based on the properties of objects in an environment. These properties, such as shape and size, combined with the actor’s needs, goals, and abilities, shape how the object can be perceived and used.

Social Influence Theory

Social Influence Theory explains the impact of social influence on individuals through three processes of influence acceptance, namely compliance, identification and internalisation, and considers the conditions necessary for these processes to occur.

Technology Acceptance Model

The technology acceptance model (TAM) explains the acceptance of information systems by individuals. TAM postulates that the acceptance of technology is predicted by the users’ behavioural intention, which is, in turn, determined by the perception of technology usefulness in performing the task and perceived ease of its use.

Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology

The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) examines the acceptance of technology, determined by the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions.
