Studies have reported the direct and indirect effect of PU in technology acceptance (Abbad et al., 2009; Park, 2009). The mediating effect of the construct in the relationship between PEOU and technology usage has also been argued (Liu et al., 2009). However, it has been shown that PEOU might not have a strong influence in technology acceptance (Chong et al., 2010). Furthermore, the relationship between PU and PEOU has been reported not to have an effect on technology acceptance (Rose and Fogarty, 2006). This shows the dependency of PEOU and PU on the independent variables under
examination as well as the study being carried out. Therefore, this paper proposes that:
