Daftar Isi:
- The adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in small and medium enterprise in Indonesia as to compare with its counterparts, i.e., large scale enterprises, is left behind. This preliminary study reports on several predictors, which influence SME’s owner’s decision to adopt internet technology. A behavioral model was developed based on previous research on technology adoption in SME. The model for preliminary research consists of seven predictors, which include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition, self-efficacy, internet-anxiety, and perceived cost. ICT adoption level is measured as adopter, potential adopter and non-adopter. Results of the measurement show that the score of reliability ranges between 0.6318 and 0.9711 in Cronbach Alpha. Meanwhile, results of construct validity test that employed principal component analysis show that most of the items are convergent to their constructs.
