Influencing Factors Determine Students’Behavioural Intentions to Adopt an E-Learning System in Tertiary Institution

Abstract

This study aims to investigate into the factor influencing tertiary institution adoption of e-learning systems. As a case study, the study included 3,77 undergraduate students from seven faculties at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi, Nigeria, which made up the study's target population of 17,654 individuals. Consequently, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model was developed using the multistage random sampling approach. The gathered data were examined utilising SmartPLSv3 SEM based on SPSSv23 for analysis. The study's results also showed that PE, EE, and FC significantly influenced students' BI to embrace e-learning systems. However, the effects of SI alone on students' behavioural intentions were not significant.
