Determinants of the intention to use information system: A case of SIMAD University in Mogadishu, Somalia

Online information management system (OIMS) contributes to the overall operations of higher education systems, enhancing operations' productivity and facilitating the university's service delivery. This article highlights the use of the OIMS system by SIMAD University (SU). The system is crucial in enhancing the university's productivity and performance. In this research, the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) are combined to provide a stronger understanding of information systems (IS). Other than that, the model was tested based on the sample size of 100 staff and students from different departments using the path coefficient created via a bootstrapping method. According to the obtained results, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) have little impact on users' intentions to utilize IS. Still, facilitating condition (FC), performance expectancy (PE), as well as effect expectancy (EE) do have an impact. The knowledge and literature in the field of this study are enriched by looking at the UTAUT and TAM from the standpoint of IS. (c) 2023 The Authors. Published by IASE.
