This analysis aimed to investigate the factors influencing the behavioural intention to use Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in Thailand and Pakistan. The study was geared towards exploring the MOOCs, a relatively new technology platform allowing the spread of education and learning in various areas and fields and surpassing traditional online courses. The study adopted the UTAUT model with additional two variables of perceived autonomy and absorptive capacity. A quantitative method was applied using primary data collected from a sample of 490 and 513 respondents from Thailand and Pakistan, respectively. The sample size was composed of students in institutions of higher learning who were aware of MOOCs or intended to use them in their studies. The analysis was conducted using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and multi-group structural equation modelling (SEM). The study found that four variables (social influence, absorptive capacity, facilitating conditions and perceived autonomy) significantly influence the student intention to use MOOCs in Thailand and Pakistan. However, two variables (performance expectancy and effort expectancy) did not influence the student intention to use MOOCs in Thailand and Pakistan. The results indicated that the findings between the two countries were invariant. This study extended the model by Venkatesh et al. (2003), including two additional variables, the perceived autonomy and absorptive capacity. The study indicated various aspects related to the response of students using MOOCs. This study is especially beneficial during the COVID-19 pandemic for determining factors that officials of higher institutions of learning should consider when implementing MOOCs and associated online learning programs to deliver quality education to students.

The article is devoted to the issues of UTAUT (the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) models, which are currently the most commonly used tools of IT acceptance assessment. The aim of the article was to characterize the structure and stages of evolution of the above-mentioned models, to analyze the practical use of these models and to perform a bibliometric analysis of publications on UTAUT. The method of literature analysis and the SciVal Scopus and Google Trends tools were used to analyze UTAUT content search trend statistics. The described models are useful for testing technology acceptance by users with different characteristics in different organizations. The flexibility of the models in terms of extending and modifying them for the needs of various areas of IT technology implementation was demonstrated.

In 2017 Executive Order 13800 was enacted for all federal entities to use the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to report on FISMA compliance. According to GAO-19-545 report sixteen agencies were identified as failing to successfully implement FISMA regulations rooted in information security policies (ISPs). This paper will introduce the link between information assurance awareness with the prescribed actions and its direct influence on information security policies. While organizations are conscious of the federal rules and regulations, most continue to fail to successfully implement and comply with the guidelines due to a sincere lack of information assurance and awareness, which ties directly into human behavior. A discussion on the intersection of information security awareness and behavior will be presented. The UTAUT theory measures and informs the researcher on factors that influence the end-user. Conclusively, recommendations will be offered on why organizations need to invest in a mechanism that measures these factors, which increases information awareness to change behavior, thus achieving better compliance with their organizational ISPs.

To date, the problem of acceptance of payment systems and technology from the consumer's perspective has been intensively investigated. Dahlberg et al. [1, 2] indicated diminishing need for additional research on the acceptance of payment systems by consumers. On the contrary, evaluation of adoption of payment systems by other participants of the market in the e-commerce ecosystem, in particular merchants, is still missing. This paper attempts to fill the existing gap. The objective of this paper is to propose determinants that merchants use as guidance in accepting or not a payment system. The main factors influencing the acceptance of payment systems by merchants have been defined basing on the commercially available “eXpay” system [8], as well as the TAM and UTAUT models. On this basis, a new model containing intention constructs and moderators significant from the merchants' perspective has been proposed. In the paper, the components of the model and possibilities of its application in further research are discussed.

This study benefited from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model through choosing two constructs from this model (Social influence, and Facilitating Conditions) to investigate their impact on employees’ intention to adopt electronic government in Sultanate of Oman. To collect the requested data, a manually administered questionnaire-based survey was used. The valid questionnaires for the analysis were 209 questionnaires which represent a rate of (83.6%) of the selected sample; this response rate is considered a very good rate in the field of Information Systems. To confirm the internal consistency of construct and measures validity, Factor analysis and Reliability test were used for this purpose. In addition to, the multiple linear regression was used to test the study hypotheses. Overall, the adopted model explained a small portion of the whole deviation in employees' Intention to adopt e-government. Meanwhile, both constructs social influence, and facilitating conditions have a significant effect on employees to adopt the electronic government. Government has to disseminate the awareness among groups of social influence about the benefits of using electronic government and clarify them that the transform to e-government does not mean that the government will abandon its employees. As well as, the government has to improve the organizational and technical infrastructure which will be used to perform the e-government tasks. The study originality derives from studying employees’ perspective as individuals, not as representatives of government institutions. Which considered the first study attempted to investigate the employees' intention to adopt e-government. Furthermore, the study narrowed UTUAT model which focused only on two constructs of this model.

W artykule wykorzystano model Jednolitej Teorii Akceptacji i Wykorzystania Technologii (ang. UTAUT) dostosowany do potrzeb badawczych poprzez wybranie dwóch elementów: wpływu społecznego oraz warunków ułatwiających w celu zbadania ich wpływu na gotowość pracowników do przyjęcia elektronicznej administracji w Omanie. Aby zebrać wymagane dane wykorzystano bezpośrednie badanie ankietowe. Do analizy wykorzystano 209 poprawnych kwestionariuszy, które stanowią 83,6% wybranej próby badawczej. Taki udział odpowiedzi uważany jest za bardzo dobry w zakresie badań systemów informatycznych. Aby potwierdzić wewnętrzną spójność budowy oraz istotność elementów, wykorzystano analizę czynnikową i test niezawodności. Dodatkowo, w celu potwierdzenia hipotez badawczych, wykorzystana została wieloraka regresja liniowa. Należy zauważyć, że przyjęty model objaśnia niewielką część zachowań w kontekście akceptacji e-administracji przez pracowników. Tymczasem oba elementy, wpływ społeczny i warunki ułatwiające akceptację, mają znaczący wpływ na pracowników odnośnie przyjęcia elektronicznej administracji. Rząd ma na celu rozpowszechnianie świadomości na temat korzyści płynących z korzystania z elektronicznej administracji wśród grup społecznych i wyjaśnienia im, że wprowadzenie e-administracji nie oznacza, że rząd będzie zrezygnować ze swoich pracowników. Należy również podjąć kampanię informacyjną, że rząd ma na celu poprawę infrastruktury organizacyjnej i technicznej, które zostaną wykorzystane do realizacji zadań związanych z e-administracją. Oryginalność badania wynika z analiz prowadzonych z perspektywy pracowników jako jednostek, a nie jako przedstawicieli instytucji rządowych. Niniejsze badanie jest jednym z nielicznych, w którym próbowano zbadać akceptację pracowników dla wdrażania e-administracji. Ponadto, badania zawęziły model UTUAT, który skupił się wyłącznie na dwóch jego elementach.
