The results show that attitude is the key effect factor of IT usage intention, perceived usefulness has no direct effect on the IT usage intention, attitude is the mediator between the perceived usefulness and the IT usage intention, perceived ease of use has no direct effect on the attitude, perceived usefulness is the mediator between the perceived ease of use and attitude, which is not completely followed to the TAM.
