Abstract

This study explores the chronological development of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) from its inception in 1989 to its evolution into more comprehensive frameworks by 2024. Initially proposed by Davis (1989), TAM sought to explain individuals’ acceptance of technology through constructs such as perceived usefulness and ease of use. Subsequent adaptations and extensions of TAM, such as TAM2, TAM3, and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), introduced new variables and contextual considerations to enhance its applicability across diverse technological environments. This review synthesizes key milestones in TAM’s evolution, highlighting its theoretical advancements, practical applications, and ongoing challenges in predicting and promoting technology acceptance.
