User acceptance of employer-sponsored personal health records

This thesis investigated ways to encourage employees and employers to use an employer-sponsored electronic personal health record (ESPHR) system from a consumer-centric viewpoint. Through a mixed method research approach, our study revealed that a focus on technology, human and organizational factors, rather than only technological factors, is a must for an effective ESPHR system. This study provides recommendations for a novel, technology-based, occupational health and well-being model and validates an extension of the established Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in relation to ESPHR systems
