Systematic Literature Review on Technology Adoption: Meta-Analysis Approach

Given the constant development of technology and the multiplicity of models and theories explaining technology acceptance, there is a need to systematise the literature to understand the current state of technology acceptance and provide future research avenues. Given the lack of comprehensive reviews on technology acceptance using comparative and longitudinal insights into factors, this study uses the meta-analysis approach and aims to address three main
objectives: 1) identify all factors underpinning technology acceptance without being limited to a specific technology acceptance model, 2) adopt a longitudinal approach to investigate the changes in the effect sizes of factors over time, and 3) compare the predictive strength of three models with three dependent variables (attitude, intention to use and use behaviour). The review will potentially provide theoretical and practical contributions by proposing a comprehensive review of the factors underpinning technology acceptance, thus helping practitioners understand how to design and market technologies.
