Structural Equation Modeling for Acceptance of Cloud Computing

Abstract

As the disruptive innovations are being penetrated to each level of society, the acceptance of modern technology is regulating the education activities. Managing the educational usage of computing through cloud applications is a matter of discussion nowadays. The aim of this study is to instigate the assessment of the adoption of cloud computing from end-users perspective. Technology acceptance model is applied to assess the behavioural intention towards the adoption of cloud computing. An online survey was conducted with close-ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 298 respondents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to undertake the model fit and path analysis through AMOS software. The analysis demonstrates that perceived usefulness and personal innovativeness are most significant element towards behaviour shaping while the subjective norm is found insignificant towards cloud computing use. The study will help to focus on individual-level innovativeness in academia.
