| Summary: | This study investigated factors that influence faculty members attitudes toward accepting
Masader e-resources at the higher education in Sultanate of Oman, this is due to the unexpected
decrease after the first year of use by the academics. 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 system quality. The relationships between these different factors are also
formulated as hypotheses to verify their stability and validity.
The study population consists of this study will only focus on academics in universities and
colleges in the Sultanate of Oman. The researcher used mixed methods for the current
investigation, where both qualitative and quantitative approaches are joined for a blend of data.
The study found a direct relationship between (POE& PU) and the (BI) to use, and direct
relationship between (SQ) and (POE& PU), which in turn affects (BI) to use. |
