Abstract

For the modern business, Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) in organization is described as a comprehensive Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing with advanced services built on top. The KMS should be contextualized, integrated on the shared ontology basis and personalized for participants networked in communities. In addition, IT-based systems should be developed to support and enhance the organizational process of knowledge creation, storage/retrieval, transfer and application. This paper aimed to present a literature reviews of adoption models at the individual level of information systems both theories and prior papers. Researchers were interested in each different set of impacted factors of three prominent models: A Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for adopting KMS in organization. Researchers also reviewed current three major findings: First, model of IT adoption at the individual level; Second, empirical literature of the UTAUT and finally, definitions of knowledge management systems.
