This research examines the influence of integrating generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in education, focusing on its acceptance and utilization among elementary education students. Grounded in the Task-Technology Fit (TTF) Theory and an expanded iteration of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, the study…

This study based on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model, examines factors influencing graduate students' behavioural intention towards adoption and actual use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Using a cross-sectional data from 415 graduate students in Ghana, this study employed the partial…

The aim of our investigation is to identify teacher motivation profiles towards information technology, according to achievement goal and expectancy-value theories. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was applied to examine if homogenous latent profiles exist within a sample of 866 teachers in China. Four distinct profiles of teachers were identified:…

During the COVID-19 lockdown, all the courses at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU) were delivered fully online, including field-training courses. Since there was no previous experience in offering field-training courses in a distance format, the current study aims to identify factors that could impact students' behavioral intention to…

This study investigates employees' intentions to telecommute post-pandemic based on IT employees' present work experiences.
