Abstract: Although numerous studies have found that self-efficacy is an important determinant of perceived ease of use (PEOU), there is no research to test the relationship between self-efficacy and intention to use an information technology.The studies on the effect of self-efficacy on perceived usefulness (PU) are also rare, and findings are inconsistent.In this study, we consider Internet self-efficacy (ISE) as an antecedent to PU, PEOU, as well as behavioral intention (BI), and empirically investigate how ISE influences the end user's willingness to accept web-based medical records.We use hierarchical regression analysis to calculate both direct and indirect effects of ISE on PEOU, PU, and BI.We found that ISE explained 48% of the variation in PEOU, ISE and PEOU explained 50% of the variation in PU, and the full model explained 80% of the variance in BI.
