Individual Differences, Perceived Ease of Use, and Perceived Usefulness in the E-Library Usage

This study examines the usage of e-library among students in a public university in Malaysia using the Technology Acceptance Model. Data from a questionnaire survey of 201 students were analyzed using linear regression. The results show that individual differences (computer self-efficacy and knowledge of search domain) had a significant positive relationship with perceived ease of use. Perceived ease of use showed significant relationship with perceived usefulness but non significant with the actual usage of the e-library. For perceived usefulness, it showed a significant relationship with the actual usage of the e-library. Lessons and discussions for individual differences, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and actual usage are presented.

Electronic human resource management (e-HRM) and human resource (HR) competencies: some evidence from an emerging market

This study aimed at investigating the relationship between HR competencies (knowledge of business, HR functional expertise, and managing change), perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitudes towards using e-HRM. The sample consisted of 154 HR professionals. Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The findings from this study indicated that managing change is positively related to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Perceived ease of use is positively related to perceived usefulness and attitude towards using e-HRM. Besides, perceived usefulness has a significant effect on attitude towards using e-HRM. Implications of the findings are further explored.
