Abstract

Technology acceptance model (TAM) predicts system success based on design features through such variables as perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Acceptance and use of Knowledge Management System is complicated by organizational and personal barriers and aggravated by information overload. Perceived ease of use, "the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would be free of effort" (Davis 1985), comes to the fore in that context.

Present paper makes an overview of Knowledge Management Systems from the TAM perspective considering the mentioned limitations. It identifies gaps in the existing stream of research and focuses on three external variables which predict the perceived ease of use: 1) visualization, 2) underlying ontology design, 3) employees’ ability to structure and generalize knowledge.
