Abstract

In spite of seemingly conflicting findings, a meta-analysis of studies published between 1971 and 1998 demonstrates an unambiguous relationship between attitude and IS use. The apparent contradictions arise principally because of methodological inconsistencies in the way that attitude was measured (belief or affect) and the timing of the measurement of attitude vis-5-vis the use of the technology. We found that the affective dimension of attitude is more powerful than the cognitive dimension for explaining IS use. However, neither is particularly strong in predicting future use.
