Abstract

This study aims at identifying the factors that predict the intention of employees of a large Canadian real estate firm to use an Enterprise 2.0 knowledge management oriented enterprise portal platform. Based on the UTAUT model, the data collected from 122 respondents using a Web questionnaire was analyzed to test five hypotheses that relate to the intention to use the Enterprise 2.0 platform. Results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence have a significant influence on the behavioral intention to use. Contrary to recent UTAUT studies, facilitating conditions, self-efficacy, anxiety and attitude toward using technology all have a significant influence on the behavioral intention to use.
