Abstract
The use of information technology is spreading in the construction field. However, the use of information technology in the construction field does not conform to the requirements and characteristics of users who use information technology. This fact is blindly accepted by the government and client demands, which is an impediment to the dissemination of information technology in the construction field. To improve the use of information technology in the construction field, this study analyzes the factors of acceptance of information technology according to the characteristics of users who use information technology in the construction field based on Davis’ technology acceptance model. As a result of the analysis, we found that if users consider IT in the construction industry easy to use, spontaneous attitude and behavioral intention are to be expected. Moreover, acceptance type, educational satisfaction, usage enjoyment, and usage experience are the factors that impact perceived usefulness, and educational satisfaction and usage enjoyment impact perceived ease of use as well. This study aims to derive factors that maximize the approachability and usefulness of users through the use of a technology acceptance model in construction prior to the application of new information technology in the construction field.

As the industrial society has advanced and business strategies and systems have been systematized, productivity has improved in various industries
The information techniques that began with the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM) and structure analysis programs have evolved into the latest information-intensive techniques of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID)
By looking at the beta values that have a similar impact on the perceived ease of use, we found that there is a correlation among usage enjoyment, educational satisfaction, and usage knowledge, in that order
Summary
As the industrial society has advanced and business strategies and systems have been systematized, productivity has improved in various industries. The level of information technology (IT) is increasing every day and the scope of its application is widening rapidly. The construction industry is becoming knowledge information-intensive, passing information within and between enterprises, and governments are establishing information-intensive worldwide construction businesses. Construction enterprises are utilizing information systems such as Enterprise Resource. Planning (ERP), Knowledge Management Systems (KMS), and Project Management Information. The information techniques that began with the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM) and structure analysis programs have evolved into the latest information-intensive techniques of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID). While in other industries, the end users have introduced, developed, and spread IT, in the construction industry, government and company owners have done so
