Mobile learning (m-learning) is a key solution for education in order to improve the learning effectiveness of students. Increasing mobile penetration in the world, particularly among the young generation urges the investigation of the factors affecting m-learning use in higher education institutions. The primary aim of this paper is to utilize general extended technology acceptance model for e-learning (GETAMEL) developed by Abdullah and Ward (2016) to examine the factors driving the undergraduate students’ attitude and intention to use m-learning in Azerbaijan with the moderating effect of Technology innovativeness (TI). The study used a survey conducted across the under- graduate students in the 7 universities located in the Baku city. The survey questionnaire was used to collect valid data from 698 samples. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) results revealed that Experience (XP), Subjective norms (SN), Enjoyment (ENJOY), Information and communication technologies anxiety (IC-TA), and Self-efficacy (SE) significantly influence Perceived Usefulness (PU), while only XP and ICTA have an impact on Perceived ease of use (PEOU). It did not affect PU of m-learning. TI was found to have moderating effect on the relationship of PEOU and PU with Attitude (ATT), but not the relationship of ATT with Intention (INT). This study filled the gap in the m-learning literature in Azerbaijan, and provided significant implication for both academic and government institutions willing to increase the penetration of ICT technologies and m-learning in higher education.

A research about factors that lead students to choose online courses, as well as the acceptance of these courses, can provide very relevant information for higher education institutions’ decision makers to amend these offers to students’ interests and needs. An investigation through questionnaire was developed involving students who attended online post-graduate courses. It was intended to know which factors affect students' decision to opt for postgraduate online courses. A model, based on the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), was tested to find out what factors determine the intention to use online learning. The results shows that most respondents favour online courses and that their decision, when choosing this type of course, is mainly influenced by time management flexibility, avoiding going to school and the course curriculum interest. The test of the model, with structural equations, shows that attitude regarding online courses and perceived usefulness are factors that predict the intention to use. It was also concluded that the perceived ease of use induces a direct and indirect effect on the intention to use. The most significant results are consistent with published studies and can help the higher education institutions to define offer and communication strategies to reach a greater number of candidates for online learning.

As there is an increasing demand in public transportation and electronic transaction, the service quality of website determines the success of the service provider. Therefore, electronic service quality (e-SQ) plays an important role for any business involved in online transaction to attract customers. Customer’s assessment of e-SQ is usually based on their actual experiences of interaction with the website. According to previous research, there exists relationship between e-SQ and service satisfaction. The moderating effect of technology acceptance model (TAM) shows positive result. As e-SQ and TAM improve, this will, in turn, improve service satisfaction. However, the relationship between “e-SQ-TAM service satisfactions” has been found to be not consistent in the case of low cost carrier airline in Malaysia. With concern to further understanding of this area, the present study explores dimensions of e-SQ in low cost carrier airline context and their relationship with service satisfaction. Furthermore, the moderating effect of perceived ease-of-use and perceived usefulness (TAM) was explored. This study employed convenience sampling and questionnaire method to gain data; 392 completed questionnaires were gathered from Malaysia Airline Industry (low cost carrier) website users. The result indicated that e-SQ dimensions: customization, site privacy and aesthetic, efficiency, system availability and fulfillment constitute e-SQ for low cost carrier airline. Moreover, the result also illustrates that perceived ease-of-use and perceived usefulness (TAM) positively moderate the relationship between e-SQ and service satisfaction.

This study examined the moderating effect of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) communications on the relationship between the perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) of mobile government services and the intention to use mobile government services. The Technology Acceptance Model was used as the theoretical framework and the data analysis was done with SPSS. The results have shown that there was a significant moderating impact of eWOM on both the relationship between PU and PEOU and the intention to use mobile government services. In addition, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of mobile government service were significant in determining the intention to use mobile government services. Also, PEOU was found to be a determinant of the PU of mobile government services. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the key factors that explain intention to use e-wallet services (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, subjective norm, positive disconfirmation and perceived behavioral control). The moderating role of perceived value in the relationship between satisfaction and their intention to continue using the e-wallet is also examined. Methodology A total of 257 e-wallet users participated in an online survey and hypotheses were tested with SPSS/PLS-SEM. Findings The constructs technology acceptance model (TAM), theory of planned behavior (TPB) and user satisfaction affect intention to use. However, perceived value does not strengthen the relationship between user satisfaction and e-wallet usage intention. Practical implications The TAM, TPB and expectancy disconfirmation model (EDM) constructs help explain the use of e-wallet services. These results will help the providers of these services to understand user behavior and to design their marketing strategies more appropriately to ensure consumer satisfaction and their intention to use e-wallet services. Originality This study adopts a holistic and integrative approach to explain the continued use of e-wallet services. The model integrates three basic adoption theories: TAM, TPB and EDM.

Mobile learning (m-learning) has evolved as an alternative way of training delivery in a variety of businesses and sectors. Mobile device technology is continuously developing and improving, resulting in more mobile device use. In a corporate setting, the usage of mobile devices as learning aids has become a new delivery technique. Telekom Malaysia (TM) has also adopted this learning tool for staff training. This research has been conducted to determine the mediating effect of intention to use on the relationship between mobile learning applications and knowledge and skill usage. There are five objectives for this research. Hypotheses have been generated to be tested according to the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model. The questionnaire was used for data collection. SmartPLS version 3.2.8 and IBM SPSS Statistics version 26 statistical software were used in the analysis. The finding revealed that there was an effect of perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) on TM employee knowledge and skill usage. In addition, the study also found there was a mediating effect of Intention to Use (ITU) on the relationship between PEOU and PU with TM employee knowledge and skill usage.

This study examines the relationship among reading app reviews, trying apps, attitude and intention to use the communication apps. Attitude towards apps and intention to use apps change as a result of app reviews and trials. An experiment was conducted in a rural area testing twelve communication apps with 80 participants who were not communication app users. The relationship of the variables was analyzed using statistical regression. This study found that treatments do not affect attitude or intention to use. Meanwhile, significantly, attitude can moderately predict intention to use. Intention to use communication apps was not related to app reviews and trials but related to participants’ attitudes. The findings suggest that this experiment did not use an appropriate method to confirm theoretical modelling of the TAM, TRA and TPB. Future research involving other variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use etc.) is needed to reveal comprehensive modelling to predict the intention to use.  Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan membaca review aplikasi, mencoba aplikasi, sikap, dan niat menggunakan aplikasi komunikasi. Sikap terhadap aplikasi dan niat menggunakan aplikasi berubah sebagai hasil dari review dan mencoba aplikasi. Eksperimen dilakukan di wilayah perdesaan untuk menguji dua belas aplikasi komunikasi dengan 80 partisipan yang bukan pengguna aplikasi komunikasi. Hubungan antarvariabel dianalisis menggunakan regresi statistik. Dari penelitian ini ditemukan perlakuan pada eksperimen tidak memengaruhi sikap maupun niat menggunakan aplikasi. Namun, sikap dapat memprediksi niat menggunakan aplikasi pada level moderat. Niat menggunakan aplikasi komunikasi tidak terhubung dengan review dan mencoba aplikasi tetapi terhubung dengan sikap partisipan. Hasil temuan menunjukkan eksperimen ini tidak cocok untuk mengonfrmasi model teori TAM, TRA, dan TPB. Penelitian selanjutnya yang melibatkan variabel lain (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, dsb) diperlukan untuk membuat model komprehensif yang dapat memprediksi niat menggunakan aplikasi.

Unit Dose Dispensing (UDD) is a drug distribution system in hospitals, where drugs are packaged in the form of a single dose and submitted to patients for one use during treatment. One of the hospitals that has applied UDD with information system utilization is Panti Rapih Hospital. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of UDD using Management Information System (SIM RS) with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) method. This research used descriptive quantitative analytic to present facts systematically. This method is also used to understand and conclude the facts more easily. Hypothesis testing was conducted to see the relationship and influence between variables. This test was conducted using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The hypothesis testing applied was two-way probability with a significant level (α) of 5%. When the p-value of less than 0,05, the data is significant. In addition, the relationship between variables is seen from the original sample value. The result shows the relationship of perceived ease of use to perceived usefulness, the relationship of perceived usefulness to attitude toward using, and the relationship of perceived usefulness to behavioral intention to use has a negative and insignificant effect. On the other hand, the relationship of perceived ease of use to the attitude toward using, the relationship of attitude toward using to the behavioral intention to use, and the relationship of behavioral intention to use towards actual system usage conditions have a positive and significant effect on implementation of UDD using the SIM RS in Pharmacy Installation Panti Rapih Hospital.
