An empirical study of the determinants factors and gender differences in the acceptance of e-learning technology
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
The UTAUT model (Venkatesh et. al., 2003) was tested in different domains and contexts of use. In the interpretation and comparison of results from different studies is important to assess whether the model and the constructs are perceived in the same way by individuals in different groups. In this article is tested a reduced version of the UTAUT in the context of e-learning using data collected from 220 students (128 women, 92 men). In order to test model invariance and explore gender differences in the acceptance of technology is applied multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA). The results show that the model and the constructs are invariant in the two groups of students in the context of e-learning in Romania.
