Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to test previously developed models to identify factors that are perceived to affect the decision to adopt corporate intranet (CI) in a developing country. Design/methodology/approach - The study used survey methodology. A set of questionnaires was returned from 436 intranet users at four major companies in Tunisia. Findings - Several factors identified as significantly affecting users' adoption of CI in Tunisian companies: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, information quality, compatibility, computer self-efficacy, personal innovativeness, superior pressure, peer pressure, self-image, tech support, and top management support. Practical implications –The findings of this study can benefit practitioners as it provides organizations and top managers with a short list of factors that can significantly affect the adoption and usage of CI. Originality/value - The study extends previously tested theories and models to a developing country environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
