Abstract

Understanding user intention to accept or reject a new technology is a key factor in implementation and success of new system technology in an organization (Gahtani & King, 1999). The purpose of this study was to explore surgeon’s acceptance of Virtual Reality Headset (VRH) as a surgical simulator. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was applied to explore the factors that affected surgeon’s acceptance. A structured questionnaire was conducted to capture information from international surgeons. The result explain 52% of variance associated with Behavioural Intention (R2 = 0.521), the three constructs of UTAUT model: Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI) and Effort Expectancy (EE) have a significance and the biggest impact on surgeons behavioural intention to use the Virtual Reality Headset, therefore organizations must take into account the following: (1) emphasize the usefulness of the software (2) consider surgeon’s psychological aspects. (3) The system must be easy to use.
