Investigating of Mobile Learning Technology Acceptance in Companies

Abstract

Technology plays a prominent role enhancing and innovating the quality of work nowadays. Currently, the world is witnessing a new wave of industrial revolution driven by the development and diffusion of digital technology; for instance, the Internet of Things (IoT) is being used, adopted, and incorporated into people’s everyday lives. Mobile learning, as one of the modern innovations, affects employee learning in the corporate world. Tools like Course Mill® have critical significance due to its various benefits, such as enhance personal and convenience learning as information sharing, promote cooperation and collaboration in learning increasing management, bridge digital divide, and enhance job performance. However, numerous limitations of adopting mobile technologies were identified, such as high cost of implementation, unreliable broadband wireless connection, and shortcomings in mobile devices features like the small screen size. The study utilized both the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT) to develop a research model to be used in the study. The multivariate exploratory factor analysis identified four main barriers that affect M-learning adoption, which is perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use(PEU), social influences (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC).These factors have a significant positive influence on the acceptance and actual use of M-learning technology in companies.
