This paper describes the first step of a larger research concerning the establishment of a new technology acceptance model. Our final purpose aims at creating a French-speaking tool to evaluate intentions to use new systems. We wanted this tool to be constructed on the basis of an existing model, wherein we planed to incorporate an emotional dimension. Referring to the literature, we considered the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model, [3, 4]) as a reliable groundwork. We translated items into French and checked we recovered the factorial structure of TAM. We did this by assessing the intentions to use the digital work environment of the university. 192 students, registered for the first time in the university, constituted our sample. We ran the statistical analysis and then noted that we did not recover the original factorial structure of TAM. This result is surprising at first sight and is discussed in the last part. We conclude this paper by presenting the next steps of our research.
