Students' Behavioral Intention to Use Learning Management System: The Mediating Role of Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Use

Abstract

This paper investigates the mediating role of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on the effect of online learning self-efficacy factors: learning in an online environment, time management, and technology use to the students' behavioral intention to use learning management system. A cross-sectional explanatory research design was employed to collect and interpret the data gathered from 470 senior high students. Mediation analyses were initiated using PROCESS v3.5 following the procedure of Hayes (2013). Findings revealed that the three online learning self-efficacy factors, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use could explain the variation of students' behavioral intention to use. The results further showed that perceived usefulness and ease of use are both significant mediators in the relationship between online learning self-efficacy factors and student's behavioral intention to use. These results suggest that the future intention to use is higher when the students' perception of LMS found it valuable and easy to use. Development and adoption of LMS in educational institutions should consider the usefulness and manageability features to increase usage, fostering successful LMS-based course implementation.
