Abstract

Factors that can motivate the success of the projects of development and application of technology include expectations and acceptance of the implantation of new information systems. The objective of this research is to identify, in the context of a public company in the financial sector, what are the expectations of key-users in relation to the implementation of a new information system, analyzing them according to the model of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Data collection was carried out through telephone interviews and a questionnaire sent by email in March 2019 to the selected subjects – key-users of the processes that must be supported by the new system. As a result, the variables identified in the research were the UTAUT model for Intention to Use, namely: Performance Expectancy (Reliability of information, System utility, Agility in performing tasks, General improvement in work), Expectation of Effort (Interaction with the new system, Agility in the use of the system, Ease of use of the system, Difficulty in learning), Social Influence (Opinion of influential people, Prestige of the people who use the system, Manager assistance, General company support). Moderating Variables (namely: Gender, Age, Experience, Voluntariness) and positive expectations regarding the Facilitating Conditions (Support for choosing the system, Technical and operational support in implementation, Technical support in use) were also identified. It is concluded that the qualitative results seem to fit the model. The study of the factors referring to effective Use Behavior is proposed as an interest for future research.
