Purpose

Finding

* / Abbasi, Chandio, Soomro et al. (2011) / To extend TAM to the context of a developing country (504 Pakistan academics’ usage of Internet) / VOL does not moderate the relationship between SN and BI.
Adams, Nelson & Todd (1992) / To examine 118 users’ acceptance of voice mail and/or e-mails / Captive use makes it difficult to find a truly voluntary technology.
* / Agarwal Prasad (1997) / To examine 73 part time MBA students’ use of WWW / PVOL has negative influence on current use (β =-0.27)
* / PVOL has no effect on future intention to use WWW
* / Agarwal, Prasa, & Zanino (1996) / To examine 230 employees’ use of graphical user interface / PVOL has negative influence on future use of graphic user interface (β =-0.148)
Amoako-Gyampah & Salam (2004) / To extend TAM to an ERP system (571 employees’ use of SAP R/3) / The usage of ERP system incorporates both mandatory and discretionary usage. The mandatory usage represents a base level needed to perform minimal job functions and usage beyond that might become voluntary.
* / Anderson, Schwager & Kerns (2006) / To apply UTAUT in a university setting (37 faculty members’ use of tablet PCs) / PVOL has positive influence on use (β =0.478)
Azad & King (2008) / To open the black box of computer workarounds in the context of using a medication dispensing system in a hospital / Social actors negotiate to enact a ‘deviation,’ since without such negotiations there is little chance that any deviation would be enacted in practice. This interpretive flexibility enables professional groupings to bend or ignore rules.
* / Benham Raymond (1996) / To test TPB (using 612 faculty members’ use of a voice mail system) / PVOL has positive influence on perceived behavioural control (β =0.174)
Boudreau & Robey (2005) / To investigate the role of human agency in the adoption of an ERP system / Employees were able to work around the system through reinvention and/or collaboration, rendering the system less mandatory than intended by management.
Brown, Massey, Montoya-Weiss & Burkman (2002) / To investigate user acceptance in a mandatory setting (107 employees’ use of a mandated computer banking system) / When use was mandated, the parsimonious TAM was supported but the original TAM was not. In TPB the intention to use was predicted by perceived behaviour control and subjective norm, not by attitude.
Chae & Poole (2005) / To understand how mandates for ERP systems are issued and socially constructed at the unit level / A mandate can stem from other sources than a management decision, such as a legal requirement, a regulatory body, or an agreement with another organizational partner, and is subject to interpretations.
Chan, Thong, Venkatesh et al. (2010) / To apply UTAUT in a mandatory setting (1179 Hong Kong citizens’ adoption of Smart ID card) / SN is not a predictor of satisfaction in the mandatory setting.
Chau (1996) / To modify TAM by distinguishing between near-term PU and long-term PU (192 users of MS Word and 176 users of MS Excel) / The researcher made a conscious choice in selecting voluntary technologies.
* / Chen, Lai, & Ho(2015) / To investigate continued use (195 high school teachers’ use of teaching blogs in Taiwan) / PVOL has positive influence on continued use of blogs (β =0.40)

Lu, Yao & Yu (2005) / To investigate the impact of subjective norm, image, and PIIT on TAM in the context of adopting wireless Internet services via mobile technology (which is expected to be purely voluntary) / PU and PEOU fully mediate between the external variables and usage intention in a voluntary setting.
Lucas & Spitler (1999) / To extend TAM with performance of 49 brokers and 58 sales representatives using workstations / TAM was not supported in their study and authors attributed that to use that was not voluntary enough. Captive use makes it difficult to find a truly voluntary technology. Users have considerable discretion in exercising different functions and features that are beyond a base level required for tasks.
Malhotra (1999) / To understand the personal construction of technology adoption / The personal constructions were clearly distinguishable from the socially mandated constructions (i.e., management’s normative views)
* / Moore (1989) / To integrate diffusion of innovation with theory of reasoned behaviour (540 professionals from 7 companies across industries) / PVOL has negative influence on attitude toward using personal work station (β = -0.15).

Moore & Benbasat (1991) / To develop measurements for perceived characteristics of innovating / Perceived voluntariness is a continuous variable.
Nah, Tan & Teh (2004) / To understand user acceptance of a mandatory system (229 users of SAP) / Symbolic adoption is more representative of user acceptance than usage intention as the dependent variable when usage is mandatory.
Orlikowski, Yates, Okamura & Fujimoto (2010) / To uncover the metastructuring of computer-mediated communication technology / The newsgroups that were originally entirely discretionary later became official communication medium.
Palen & Grudin (2003) / To investigate bottom-up shared use of an online calendar system / An officially discretionary technology for group collaboration can be made unofficially mandatory due to peer pressure from other group members.
