Baza danych firmy o strukturze biznes-biznes, składająca się z obecnych i potencjalnych klientów została wybrana, jako przykładowa baza dla przeprowadzenia badania. Zebrano 139 wypełnionych ankiet, z których dane poddano analizie statystycznej przy zastosowaniu modelu PLS-SEM 3.0 (Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling).
Wyniki: Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że postrzegane umiejętności użytkowania Internetu I wsparcia dla dostawcy mają istotny wpływ na postrzeganą wygodę komunikacji. Z kolei postrzegana wygoda komunikacji ma bezpośredni wpływ na użytkowanie Internetu przez pracowników działu zakupu dla celów biznesowych zakupów. Postrzegana wygoda komunikacji istotnie określa efekt postrzeganych umiejętności użytkowania komputera oraz wsparcia dostawcy na biznesowe użytkowanie Internetu.

Background: The purpose of this research is to examine a path model and the mediating effect of perceived communication convenience towards explaining industrial purchasing personnel's Internet adoption for business purchasing related activities. It involves sequencing paths examining the predictive effect of perceived Internet skills and supplier support on perceived communication convenience. Consequently, perceived communication convenience would influence Internet adoption as communication tools in a business-to-business context. It also examines the indirect effects of perceived Internet skills and supplier support on Internet adoption mediated by perceived communication convenience.
Method: A structured questionnaire was developed to carry out a cross-sectional survey. A business-to-business company's database consists of its current and potential customers was selected as the sampling frame. A total of 139 responses was collected and Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM 3.0) was utilized in data processing and hypotheses testing.
Results: The findings of the study indicate that perceived Internet skills and supplier support have a significant effect on perceived communication convenience. Subsequently, perceived communication convenience have a direct impact on industrial purchasing personnel's adoption of the Internet for business purchasing related activities. Perceived communication convenience significantly mediates the effect of perceived Internet skills and supplier support on business Internet adoption.
