Abstract

The objective of this exploratory research work is to validate the model of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology UTAUT in the adoption of the NEXUS 7 tool in students of the Faculty of Public Accounting and Administration. The case method was used. study with an exploratory approach that enables understanding of the phenomenon in its context, as well as interaction with students. In this way, the statements of each construct will be evaluated for each variable in the model; Full satisfaction of the variables will predict a positive decision to adopt the NEXUS 7 Tool by FACPYA students. The UTAUT instrument was applied in five sessions to 380 young students from different careers, 44% are male and 56% are male. They are female, all of legal age from different semesters and different majors, obtained a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.864 in the five sections. Comparisons of means were made between the variables (Expectation of Functioning, Expectation of Effort, Social Influence and Facilitating Conditions), showing interesting results since Nexus7 being a common practice tool among students, they adopted it perfectly in its use and application.
