Technology Reading Index (TRI) has used to determine individuals’ willingness to use of
technology. This study focuses on differences among belief and use new technology of academic staffs. The
article examines how each dimension (optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, insecurity) of Technology
Reading Index (TRI) influences Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which have consumer perceived
usefulness and perceived ease of use dimensions. The results show that of optimism dimension of TRI has
a positive effect on both consumers perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use while innovativeness
dimension has a positive effect on perceived ease of use. Researches on TRI and TAM have overlooked
the potential role of technology readiness and acceptance in the development of academic staff. This study
tests belief and use new technology of academic staffs.
