Technology Acceptance Model (core items) (TAM), ready to run
The original Davis (1989) 12-item scale measuring two determinants of technology acceptance: Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), six items each. The most widely-cited instrument in information-systems research. Item stems should be customized to name the specific system under study.
