Warner, Janis A.; Koufteros, Xenophon; Verghese, Anto – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2014
This article introduces a new construct coined as Computer User Learning Aptitude (CULA). To establish construct validity, CULA is embedded in a nomological network that extends the technology acceptance model (TAM). Specifically, CULA is posited to affect perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, the two underlying TAM constructs.…
