<p>Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is something that is growing rapidly in a globalized era and becoming an important element in the development of an organization. Leaders play an important role in ensuring effective application of ICT in the organization, particularly in schools. Review of previous studies more engaged to the level of technology leadership and the characteristics of technological leadership practiced by leaders in the school, while the factors of a more comprehensive which include facilities for ICT, competence, and commitment of teachers in the practices of applying ICT in the management which contributes a grant impact on the management duties of teachers in schools has not been studied in Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to identify whether there is a positive relationship between technology leadership, ICT facilities, competence, commitment and practice of applying ICT teachers with effective management duties of teachers in schools using ICT. This quantitative study involves 370 teachers in secondary schools in the Kedah state which were selected randomly. Respondents gave their views on aspects of technology leadership and ICT facilities available in schools. Respondents also indicated the level of competence and commitment to apply the computer in addition to giving an opinion on the effectiveness of the application of ICT in managerial duties at the school through a questionnaire validated by experts. The findings show that there is a positive relationship between technology leadership, ICT facilities, competence and commitment of teachers to use ICT and the effectiveness of management duties of teachers using ICT in school. The role of teacher practices using ICT to be used as a moderator has a positive correlation with ICT facilities. The framework established by adopting some models related to technology leadership and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) can be used as guidelines in the application of ICT in the education system to make it more effective, particularly in systems management at school.</p>

Penetration of information technology (IT) in almost every sector of the Indian economy is occurring at a very rapid pace. This has brought about a great transformation from a paper world to a digital world. Employees face new technological changes in their workplace almost every day. Some employees welcome the changes brought about by technology while others resist it and become defensive. These differences in employees’ reactions are influenced by a host of moderating variables existing in the environment. For the purpose of the present study, the researchers have adopted three moderating variables, namely, age, gender and experience (from the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology [UTUAT] model of Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, and Davis (2003, MIS Quarterly, 27, 3, 425–478). Hence, the article attempts to study the influence of the aforementioned moderating variables on the employees’ acceptance of IT at their workplace. The study has been conducted in the post offices falling under the Nalbari-Barpeta division of the Assam postal circle. The study is based on both the primary and secondary data.

The Subject

Managing everyday wellness using sensors requires user buy-in and acceptance. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used to measure at D-0 the acceptability (a priori), and at D-21 the acceptance of an ambulatory monitoring system under development, the SHERPAM system. Interviews with the participants revealed that they no longer viewed the system in the same way at the different stages of the study. The results of the qualitative analysis suggest that the time of the research led the participants to stop seeing themselves as potential future users and to take on the role of critical testers of the technology (which corresponds more to a user test). This role change led participants to question the usefulness of the technology, which affected their intention to use the technology in the future (5.30 vs. 4.24; t = 2.58 *). This research identified the reasons why it was crucial to have a fully functional device in the second phase (acceptance study). The results of this study suggest that it is inappropriate to undertake an acceptability study when the technology is under development. While the SHERPAM platform has been the subject of several user tests, none have been carried out in a situation of use. Thus, this study seems to suggest that the dysfunctions observed are more related to the absence of a development phase in the daily activity of the users. Thus, to ensure a good appropriation of the technology and to predict its use, the technology must not only be in perfect working order, but must also have been developed according to the daily activities of the individuals.

This research aims to identify science and mathematics teachers’ attitudes towards integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in their educational practice through applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). A questionnaire instrument was developed based on the constructs of the UTAUT (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions) and attitudes scale. The study sample consisted of a group of mathematics and science teachers in governorate of Ma’an. The participants were randomly selected. Descriptive and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results showed the attitudes of science and mathematics teachers towards integrating information and communication technology in the educational process were high and positive. In addition, the results showed that science and mathematics teachers had positive and high perceptions of integrating information and communication technology in the educational process in all dimensions (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions). Furthermore, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology was valid in explaining the attitudes of Science and Mathematics teachers toward the integration of ICT in the in their educational practice.

This study explored the important role of demographic factors such as gender, age, and education in the adoption of mobile government (m-government) services. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was used as the theoretical foundation whiles the data was captured and analyzed with SPSS and SmartPLS. The results have demonstrated that gender is a significant predictor of both the intention to use and performance expectancy of m-government services. However, gender does not determine mobile self-efficacy. In addition, age and education were both were significant predictors of performance expectancy, mobile self-efficacy and the intention to use m-government services respectively. The implications of these and other findings of the study are thoroughly discussed.

Social commerce (SC) became a major channel for conducting business as a result of the ban adopted by many countries because of Covid-19 era. The simplicity of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and use of Technology (UTAUT) and its extended version (UTAUT2) invites researchers to explore other options that can yield better explanation of the adoption of SC. This study extended the UTAUT2 with perceived value, trust and a SC related construct. In addition, the study re-structured the UTAUT2 to fit with SC environment. The study utilized 463 surveys distributed in Qatar, and analyzed the data using SEM. Results fully supported the proposed model, where trust, perceived value, facilitating conditions, and hedonic motivation significantly predicted behavioral intentions with an R2 value equal to 72%. The model supported the role of performance expectancy and SC constructs in predicting perceived value, and the role of effort expectancy and habit in predicting hedonic motivation.
