METHODS: Data were collected using a convenience sampling approach from the respondents associated with different business projects in China and analyzed using structural equation modeling and factor analysis. RESULTS: The findings affirmed the positive relationships of TAL and TAD on OPP. The study revealed the mediating influence of PEOU between TAL and OPP. The study further affirmed a positive mediation of PU between TAD and OPP, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study provides insights into how incorporation of technological and TAM tools—TAL, TAD, PEOU, and PU—may improve OPP of the organizations in today's digital era. In addition, the study provides implications for the management and future opportunities for the researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
