Factors affecting social network use by students in Tunisia
BACKGROUND: Several theories have developed instruments for assessing the acceptance of using technologies. This work is a continuation of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) research for the review of the factors affecting the acceptance of digital social networks (DSN) among Tunisian students. OBJECTIVE: We aim to bring a better understanding of technology use in the educational context. More specifically, we investigate the determinants of digital social network (DSN) acceptance by Tunisian students and the effects of this acceptance on students’outcomes in the presence of social isolation as a mediating variable and fear of COVID-19 to ensure the continuity of university pedagogy. METHOD: We used the survey method, sampling stutents (N = 100) during the COVID-19 pandemic to test this model. For the data analysis, this study employed structural equation modeling through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and condition process modeling. RESULTS: The research found that Social Influence (SI); Effort Expectancy (EE), Facilitating Conditions (FC), and Performance Expectancy (PE) have a significant and affirmative effect on the behavioral intention (BI) and influence of behavioral intention on digital social network (DSN) user behavior in learning (UBL). Furthermore, Social Isolation (SIS) as a mediating variable and fear of COVID-19 (FOC) has a significant effect between dimensions of adjusted unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model and behavioural intention of learning by digital social network (DSN) applications. CONCLUSION: The new adjusted conceptual model is a significant contribution to the current knowledge, which will enhance the dimensions of the actual unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. Moreover, the findings have significant implications for educators and decision-makers involved in designing learning through digital social network (DSN) applications for implementation in universities.
期刊介绍:
Human Systems Management (HSM) is an interdisciplinary, international, refereed journal, offering applicable, scientific insight into reinventing business, civil-society and government organizations, through the sustainable development of high-technology processes and structures. Adhering to the highest civic, ethical and moral ideals, the journal promotes the emerging anthropocentric-sociocentric paradigm of societal human systems, rather than the pervasively mechanistic and organismic or medieval corporatism views of humankind’s recent past. Intentionality and scope Their management autonomy, capability, culture, mastery, processes, purposefulness, skills, structure and technology often determine which human organizations truly are societal systems, while others are not. HSM seeks to help transform human organizations into true societal systems, free of bureaucratic ills, along two essential, inseparable, yet complementary aspects of modern management: a) the management of societal human systems: the mastery, science and technology of management, including self management, striving for strategic, business and functional effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, through high quality and high technology, i.e., the capabilities and competences that only truly societal human systems create and use, and b) the societal human systems management: the enabling of human beings to form creative teams, communities and societies through autonomy, mastery and purposefulness, on both a personal and a collegial level, while catalyzing people’s creative, inventive and innovative potential, as people participate in corporate-, business- and functional-level decisions. Appreciably large is the gulf between the innovative ideas that world-class societal human systems create and use, and what some conventional business journals offer. The latter often pertain to already refuted practices, while outmoded business-school curricula reinforce this problematic situation.
