PATH ANALYSIS BETWEEN CONSTRUCTS OF TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL (TAM) (A CASE STUDY ON RECEIPT OF VIRTUAL ARMS SOLUTION FTS D - 423 IN INDONESIAN EASTERN FLEET TRAINING COMMAND)

Abstract

Indonesian Eastern Fleet Training Command currently has the facilities to train professional soldiers in the shooting.
A simulator facility in the form of computer-based clinic shooting is called Virtual Arms Solution FTS D-423 (VAS).
Need to analyse the relationship between perceived ease of use and usefulness of VAS in order to determine the
level of acceptance. Both these factors are modelled by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which can
explain the factors that influence the actual receipt of the use of technology. After that, the relationship between the
two factors that have been modelled with the Technology Acceptance Model to be treated using Path Analysis
(Path Analysis). Where the path analysis was used to analyse the causal relationships between variables in order to
determine the effect of the direct and indirect causes of the variable to a variable result. Based on the analysis and
discussion, it is obtained as follows that the ease and usefulness of a positive effect on Attitude using VAS positive
effect on Behavioural Intention using VAS. Behavioural intentions affect the Actual Usage.
