The effects of cultural dimension on MIS acceptance

In this study we explore the effects of cultural dimensions as influence factors of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with the sample of academics in Indonesia. We adopted some Hofstede's cultural dimensions (power distance, individualism, and long term orientation) as influence factors to Perceive Usefulness and Perceive Ease of Use in TAM. Research carried out by using 308 respondents, who are academics throughout Indonesia. The data obtained and analyzed using Structure Equation Modeling with PLS. Our results show, that Long Term Orientation had highest effect on Perceived Usefulness in TAM, and followed by Power Distance and Individualism on Perceived Ease of Use. These results can be taken as consideration when implementing MIS in higher learning institution in Indonesia.
