Abstract
BACKGROUND: To encourage students’ behavioural intentions (BI) to use Learning Management System (LMS) in Saudi Arabia, policymakers, particularly the ministry of higher education, should persuade potential users that LMS is useful, simple to use, and that others have high expectations for its use in the near future. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify factors influencing students’ BI towards accepting the LMS in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: An online questionnaire was used to collect 212 student responses from Saudi Arabia’s University of Hail. The integrated model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). RESULTS: The results of analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that factors influencing students’ attitudes towards accepting the LMS and, thus, their BI towards the use of the LMS in Saudi Arabia, were their perceived behavioural control (PBC) and perceived usefulness (PUS). On the contrary, attitudes toward behaviour (ATB), subjective norms (SN), and perceived ease of use (PEU) have no influence on students’ BI. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the predictor variables Technology Acceptance Modell (TAM) and Theory of Plan Behaviour (TPB) on students’ BI to use LMS in Saudi Arabian universities.
期刊介绍：
Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
