| Summary: | This study investigated factors that influence faculty members attitudes toward accept
e-resources at the Applied Sciences colleges in Sultanate of Oman, this is due to the unexpected
decrease after the first year of use by the faculty. To achieve this, a set of behavioral factors has
been relied upon, such as the behavioral intention (BI) and the perceived usefulness (PU) and
perception of easiness (POE). These factors may also be affected and related to other external
factors such as information quality.
The study population consists of faculty members working in six CASin the Sultanate of Oman.
120 of them were chosen as a representative sample, and a questionnaire was distributed to them,
which included various factors to measure their acceptance of the e-resources available on the
electronic system.
The results of the study confirmed the presence of a statistically significant relationship in the
effect of behavioral factors such as (PU) and (POE) in using e-resources. It also indicated that
there is a direct relationship between information quality (IQ) as an external variables and belief
variables (PU and POE) which in turn affects the behavioral intention to use e-resources (BI). |
