Abstract

Understanding an individual's use of information technology has become an
important determinant of successful usage and implementation of technology. In order
to help understand and improve the successful use of information technology this
research aim to investigate some key factors that influence an individual's use of
information technology and the relationship between those factors. This research
examines the relationship between computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety,
computer experience, organisational/Faculty support, and computer usage. A
conceptual model posits that computer usage is influenced by several factors such as
computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, computer experience and
organisational/Faculty support. Based on the responses of 137 Commerce students at
University of Tasmania, we found that computer experience and Faculty support had
a positive relationship with computer self-efficacy. While computer self-efficacy,
computer experience and Faculty support had negative relationship with computer
anxiety. However, Faculty support and computer experience were found to have no
significant relationship with computer usage. The findings are important as they
provide information on how faculties might consider assisting students in their
utilising technology.
