It has been evident that the link structure in a website, better known as the website\u2019s information architecture, helps the practitioners with identifying factors that affect the usability of a website. In this sense, practitioners must ensure that the information architecture supports the usage intentions of a websites\u2019 visitors to better serve and motivate them. However, in many cases, different types of users navigate websites that contain immense amounts of information, so understanding their needs is also important for practitioners. In parallel, this article addresses the problem that different visitors of a large-scale website will need to navigate through dense information to find the information they are looking for, and the information architecture of the website must support different user tasks for the website to be widely adopted. Thus, unlike previous studies, this article combines the principles of information architecture and the technology acceptance model to investigate the effect of information architecture on visitor\u2019s usage intentions. The work also guides practitioners in developing architectural strategies to better enable visitors to fulfil their objectives in the least amount of time. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01655515221094436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]],"date-time":"2022-05-06T15:11:22Z","timestamp":1651849882000},"page":"466-480","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Investigation of university websites from technology acceptance model and information architecture perspective: A case study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5761-3866","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ferdi","family":"S\u00f6nmez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Engineering, Fenerbah\u00e7e University, Turkey"}]},{"given":"Uygar","family":"Aydin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Turkey"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1210-2448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ziya N","family":"Perdahci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Informatics, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Turkey"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr1-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551521989531"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr2-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijinfomgt.2017.02.001"},{"key":"bibr3-01655515221094436","volume-title":"Information architecture: for the web and beyond","author":"Rosenfieled L","year":"2015","edition":"4"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr4-01655515221094436","first-page":"51","volume":"1","author":"Momani AM","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Contemp Comput Res"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr5-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1007\/s10799-013-0162-0"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr6-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1145\/3127358"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr7-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1145\/3359590"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr8-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.46.2.186.11926"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr9-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551506070730"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr10-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-5915.2008.00192.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr11-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551519834714"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr12-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1016\/S0360-1315(02)00142-2"},{"volume-title":"Extending the technology acceptance model with interface usability to examine ERP users\u2019 behavioral intentions: a Sap Fiori Case","year":"2017","author":"G\u00fcl MM","key":"bibr13-01655515221094436"},{"volume-title":"A technology acceptance model for empirically testing new end-user information systems: theory and results","year":"1985","author":"Davis FD","key":"bibr14-01655515221094436"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr15-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1108\/JEIM-04-2012-0011"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr16-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1080\/10494820.2015.1122635"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr17-01655515221094436","first-page":"21","volume":"14","author":"Lai P","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Inf Syst Technol Manag"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr18-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-0531(75)90006-X"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr19-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-1031(76)90036-6"},{"volume-title":"The extension of technology acceptance model (TAM) with appending brand credibility and technology readiness: an adoption of model to purchase intention","year":"2010","author":"Ba\u015fg\u00f6ze P","key":"bibr20-01655515221094436"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr21-01655515221094436","first-page":"1","volume":"3","author":"Resmini A","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Inf Archit"},{"issue":"7","key":"bibr22-01655515221094436","volume":"28","author":"Ronda Le\u00f3n R","year":"2008","journal-title":"No S\u00f3lo Usabil"},{"volume-title":"Information architecture","year":"2005","author":"Dillon A","key":"bibr23-01655515221094436"},{"volume-title":"Information architecture","year":"1997","author":"Wurman RS","key":"bibr24-01655515221094436"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"bibr25-01655515221094436","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tele.2016.08.015"},{"unstructured":"Lash J.
