Technology Adoption Theories and Models

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Adoption of LMS in Higher Educational Institutions of the Middle East

Part of the book series: Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation ((ASTI))

Abstract

Numerous theories and models exist in iInformation sSystems (IS) research to examine the variables that influence the adoption of new technologies. This study compares different technology adoption models, and then builds a model on the modified uUnified tTheory of aAcceptance and uUse of tTechnology (UTAUT2). Finally, this chapter presents a conceptual framework for the adoption of a lLearning mManagement sSystem (LMS) in hHigher eEducational iInstitutions (HEIs). This study extends the UTAUT2 model with ‘tTechnology aAwareness’ and ‘Hofstede’s cultural dimensions’ as new variables of the UTAUT2 model. Thus, this study examined the adequacy of the original UTAUT2 model in the cultural context of higher educational institutions.
