Literature review on technology acceptance model: The enhanced variables of Venkatesh's UTAUT model on students' acceptance of use on online distance learning

Abstract

This paper detailed the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) that has been used widespread in IT system and other areas, and the initiative of this paper is to introduce the UTAUT theory evidences and relation in online distance learning at universities. This paper reviewed the literature on UTAUT from multiple perspectives on theoretical analysis of UTAUT and its expansion and continuing for research going forward. Based on Venkatesh (2003), framework of theory evaluation, this paper continuing UTAUT and its extensions developed from few sets of constructs as the parts of a theory and as the whole theory. This review identifies many distinctions of UTAUT, progress related to this theory that has further development, and it relation to online distance learning at IPTA in Malaysia. This paper will allow a significant future work, the theoretical contributions of UTAUT using expanding and cross-context concept. Our conclusion reveals several limitations that lead other researchers to continue a UTAUT study framework that can serve as the theoretical foundation for future research.
