Our replication produces nearly identical results to that of previous work. However, more research is needed on the operationalization and measurement of Fit. In addition, some of the problems may be caused by the operationalization and measurement of the dependent variable in Task-Technology Fit models, whether it is utilization or performance. In summary, Task-Technology Fit is an important construct for understanding the utilization of information technology when users have the freedom to choose the software and determine the extent of utilization. While other factors clearly could play a part in determining utilization, an understanding of TTF is very important for tool builders in the creation of new information technology products.
