Abstract:

The population of this research is Netflix users who reside permanently or temporarily in Semarang City. The research was conducted through distributing questionnaires to a predetermined sample. The analysis was carried out by analyzing the outer model and inner model analysis on SmartPLS software. The results of this study are perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have an influence on actual system use, both directly and indirectly.
