Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness As a mediating Factor Between ICT Competencies And EFL University Lecturers’ Motivation

Abstract

The study's goal is to look at ease of use and perceived utility as a mediating factor in the relationship between ICT competencies and motivation among EFL professors. The TAM sample theory is used to investigate the primary criteria, "perceived ease of use & perceived usefulness." The study used exploratory, descriptive, and survey methods to analyze data. The participants are currently enrolled in King Khalid University. The goal is to choose areas where the researchers want to disclose significant facts about the study's purpose. The data-gathering tool was a 5-point Likert scale-based questionnaire. Furthermore, investigate the barriers and strategies for overcoming these issues. The findings show that there is a statistically significant association between obstacles, ease of use, and sense of interest. Moreover, there is a statistically significant association between ease of use and intentions. However, no statistical relationship exists between barriers, intentions, and trends. The study recommended that EFL professors be kept up to date on rapid technological advances and that motivation be activated at universities to assess ease of use and perceived utility.
