Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ intention to use ICT and use behaviour for learning and research by extending the UTAUT model with Health Issues and satisfaction as mediating variables between ergonomics factors and intention to use ICT relationship. This study employed a survey, which used a questionnaire to elicit data from university students and quantitative approaches to address the study's objective. A total of 1500 questionnaires were sent out, 972 responses were received, and 955 of them were useful. To examine students' ICT usage, the researchers used partial least squares structural equation modelling. The findings suggest that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and health issues significantly influence students’ behavioural intentions to use ICTs. However, ergonomics factors negatively influence health issues. Finally, students ICT use behaviour was strongly influenced by behavioural intentions. The model explained 50.3% of students’ behavioural intention to use ICT for learning
