While TTF involves a different perspective on utilization behavior than TAM, these models appear to be complementary rather than contradictory. For instance, research by Mathieson and Keil (1998) shows that neither task characteristics nor technology features in their own right can explain variations in PEU, but the interaction between the two classes can. TTF therefore influences or defines PEU. , see Dishaw & Strong, 1999; see also Copyright © 2004, Idea Group Inc.
