Abstract

Web Services have the potential to facilitate applications and information to be delivered over the Internet, which can be accessed by disparate devices from handhelds to large servers. Web Services offer a company the capability of conducting business electronically with potential business partners in a multitude of ways at a reasonable cost. Web Services technology is an emerging technology. As a result, there exists some technical papers in Web Services, but behavioral and attitudinal aspects toward Web Services have not been explored. To address behavioral issues, we apply diffusion theory (Moore and Benbasat 1991) and security related research in technology adoption and propose a model. Nine hypotheses are proposed.
