Impact of Technological Innovations in the Workplace and COVID-19: A Case of Botswana Open University
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The current study examines the impact of technological developments on employees during the COVID-19 epidemic at a higher institution in a developing economy. Data were collected and analysed using a quantitative research approach. First, a survey questionnaire (google forms) was emailed to Botswana Open University workers, who were asked to complete it and return it via email. Second, inferential statistics and AMOS were used to evaluate the quantitative data. The study’s findings revealed that fear of COVID-19, social influence, attitude towards use, and behavioural intention were all important predictors of users’ behavioural intention to work remotely. Despite these contributions, our study has several limitations, specifically its application to different geographical areas and sample size, which were not included in the study. As a result, we urge other scholars to replicate our study with a bigger sample size in a different geographical location.
