الملخص الإنجليزي

Information technology (IT) acceptance literature has developed many models that empirically test user acceptance of IT.

The most recent model is the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) developed by Venkatesh et al.

(2003).

Our study extends the UTAUT model by suggesting two additional independent variables, the perceived enjoyment and free access to information, to examine the “intention to use” and “usage behavior” of IT.

Based on a sample of 154 organizations and an examination of the model with PLS structural equation modeling tool, the researchers find that perceived enjoyment of using IT is the most influential factor on the behavioral intention to adopt and use IT in the Palestinian NGOs.

Furthermore, the findings highlight the importance of free access to information as an alternative communication tool with the outside world in the besieged Gaza Strip.
