Influencing Factors of Behavior Intention and Actual Use of Technology: An Application of UTAUT Model on Science Undergraduates
Year: 2021
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study was conducted by empirically testing a model to predict the factors affecting science undergraduates’ behaviour intentions towards the actual use of technology (digital leaning). This study explored the behavioural intention of use of digital learning from the perspective of students by applying the extended UTAUT model. A cross-sectional study was conducted on science undergraduates. The data was derived from an online survey with 425 respondents and analyzed using a structural equation model. PLS-SEM was used for model and hypothesis testing. The result revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence are positively associated with behaviour intention and actual use of technology. Facilitating conditions were negatively associated with BIUT (behavior intention and actual use of technology). Our findings correspond with the UTAUT model and provide a practical reference for educational institutions on designing digital learning for further studies.
