Geographic Information System Continuance Adoption and Use to Determine Bidikmisi Scholarship Recipients Distribution

The objective of this study is to find out the continuance adoption and use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for scholarship recipient distribution in Central Sulawesi. For the data gathering instrument, we employed an online structured questionnaire. One hundred fifty scholarship administrators were selected from fifteen state and private higher education institutions in Palu Central Sulawesi. They were assigned a five-scale survey. All completed questionnaires were analyzed using AMOS. The findings show that the factors of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, information quality, system quality, and change management have significantly influenced the continuance adoption and use of the geographic information system by university scholarship administrators. The results highlighted that when a system was developed based on those criteria, the sustainable adoption and use of the geographic information system can be consistently maintained to improve universities' scholarship management and distribution. Our study contributes to the body of knowledge in geographic information system continuance adoption and use within education institutions and to practices that support universities for better scholarship management and distribution.
