Motivation and Behavior in Information Systems

In business informatics, various models are used to investigate the connection between motivation and behavior. Studies such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and other models such as TAM2, Utaut, TAM3 and UTAUT2 as well as the Theory Planned Behavior Model investigate effects on motivation.

The so-called technology acceptance models under searches like the name self-explanatory especially the acceptance of information technologies. While the original model of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) focuses on the impact of human behavior. The acceptance of a certain technology depends on the behavior. Therefore, it is a subset of the TPB theory.
