Abstract
This study investigates the linear and nonlinear relationships among the concerned variables in electronic repository adoption. We apply the polynomial regression and response surface analysis to explain the nonlinear relationships. The results show the perceived behavioral control which is a critical part of the planned behavior theory is not a significant predictor to electronic library adoption, while the subjective norms and attitude are the two significant predictors. Furthermore, the nonlinear relationship between subjective norms and attitude is identified. It is a negative synergy between subjective norms and attitude in E-repository adoption where users have volitional control over their use of the system. Increasing in subjective norms has a decreasing marginal impact on usage intention when the attitude is high; while increasing in attitude has a decreasing marginal impact on usage intention when the subjective norms are high.
