NATIONAL CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE: THE IMPACT OF UNCERTAINTY AVOIDANCE

ABSTRACT
This study combined the results from 95 TAM articles
to examine the impact of uncertainty avoidance on
national culture and technology acceptance. This
meta-analysis was based on 342 reviewed TAM
articles, of which 95 met the selection criteria of both
reported statistics and national culture. Each article
was coded for national culture based on the rankings
from the works of Hofstede and GLOBE. Overall,
hypotheses about uncertainly avoidance practices
(UAP) were supported for each correlation. Highlevel UAP confidence intervals were significantly
lower than for the medium-level and low-level UAP
groups for each of the TAM construct correlations.
