Network security research: Deep Packet Inspection Acceptance in the United Arab Emirates.
Year: 2011
Type: preprint
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: A study developing a United Arab Emirates-based technology adoption model—through primary research, is supported by two pilot studies, field studies, and action research, in E-business. Random samples were 443 Emirati college students, 18 to 25 years old, from a sampling frame of enrolled students, at the Higher Colleges of Technology. Group is targeted by prospective employees by Emirati Federal law for employment industry sectors likely to use deep packet inspection. Six variables: computer self-efficacy, attitudes toward information and communications technology, perceived usefulness of e-commerce, intention to use e-commerce, culture, and Internet filtration were quasi-experimentally tested using the maximum likelihood estimator, robust to non-normality, using confirmatory factor analysis, for an acceptable goodness-of-fit into the UAE Deep Packet Acceptance Model (DPAM). Validity was supported factor loadings ranged from 0.621 to 0.885. The goodness-of-fit values obtained were Normed Chi-Square (2.602), Comparative Fit Index (0.918), Tucker-Lewis Index (0.905), and Root mean Square Error of Approximation (0.060). Reliability using Cronbach's α was greater than 0.80 for all constructs.
