It also explores the interacting effect of the mass of users (in the user's social and organisational context) on the relationship between perceived usefulness and actual usage of smartphones. Based on a thorough review of both the IS and the social psychology literatures, the paper proposes a conceptual model for assessing the interacting effect of motivation to comply and mass of users in IT acceptance along with eight research propositions. Theoretical and practical implications of the proposed model are discussed, which include how the significance of the interacting effects of motivation to comply and mass of users may help shape mobile service providers' marketing strategies.
