The effect of trust in system reliability on the intention to adopt online accounting systems
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine whether the three principles in the SysTrustw
service converge on a single construct to measure potential users’ trust in the reliability of a system,
and whether trust in the reliability of a system, as defined by the three SysTrust principles, affects
potential users’ intent to use the system.
Design/methodology/approach – In this study, the authors provide potential users with hands-on
experience with the online accounting system offered by Oracle Small Business Suitesw. The authors
subsequently assess their perception of the extent to which the system meets the three SysTrust
principles, and their intent to use the system.
Findings – The results show that potential users’ perceptions of the three SysTrust principles
converge on one factor, suggesting that they are indicative of the trust in system reliability as proposed
by the AICPA and CICA. Moreover, the study shows that trust in system reliability, as defined by the
three SysTrust principles, influences potential users’ intent to adopt an online system.
Originality/value – This study is the only one to provide evidence that the SysTrust principles
provide a valid means to holistically assess system reliability as needed by potential users of a system.
This study also extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by including two unique trust
components in the examination of online behaviors. The extended TAM shows that potential users’
trust in system reliability and their trust in the internet interactively influence the intentions of these users to adopt online systems.
