Information technology. Knowledge economy. Including artificial intelligence and knowledge management Women The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitude of working women towards the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at workplace. Seven constructs includes demographic characteristics have been determined in a research model which formulated based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and extended TAM.
