Mobile technology is a method of internet access and other utilities through mobile devices such as cell phones, iPad, iPhone, iPod, laptops, smart pads and others related. In this study, we investigate if the mobile technology usage behavior affects the perceived work performance improvement. In addition, it was verified if there were some differences between the generations. To accomplish that, we applied a survey to 580 Brazilians which use mobile devices. To evaluate the relations between variables, univariate and multivariate statistics were used. The results evidenced, first that the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use increase the mobile technology usage behavior. Second, it was found that mobile technology usage behavior increases the perceived work performance improvement. Finally, findings of this study provided that the differences in mobile technology usage among employees from different generations exist.
