Antecedent factors to end-users' symbolic acceptance of enterprise systems: An analysis in Nigerian organizations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
End-user acceptance of information systems (IS), including enterprise systems (ES) is critically important for the success or effectiveness of such technologies for adopting organizations. While prior research has focused on such issues in the developed West, very little is known about workers' perceptions of ES acceptance or adoption in the developing world. This study was designed to add to the growing body of work in the area by using empirical data collected in Nigeria. We employed symbolic acceptance to enrich insight instead of usage adoption, which is commonly used in the literature. We drew from relevant theoretical frameworks in developing the research model, which was tested with data collected from a survey. Using the partial least square technique (PLS) for data analysis, support was found for the five hypotheses formulated herein. Namely, performance and effort expectancies, social influence, facilitating conditions, and attitude toward ES were found to have significant, positive impacts on ES symbolic acceptance. The implications of the study findings for both research and practice are discussed, and conclusions are drawn.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
