English Abstract
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).
In this study, researcher aims to extend UTAUT model in the context of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) based in the Gaza Strip.
The extension is based on variables related to Gaza Strip situation.
In this study, the researcher applies a quantitative research methodology by using an on-line questionnaire distributed to a random sample of NGOs.
Then, data are analyzed by using SPSS program for statistical analysis.
The extension of UTAUT is examined by using a PLS-Graph (build 1126), a PLS structural equation modeling tool.
Based on a sample of 154 organizations, the researcher finds that the proposed model explains 67.9 % of the variance in behavior intention.
Furthermore, the findings highlight the importance of using and improving IT application as an alternative communication tool with the outside world in the besieged Gaza Strip.
It also helps to come up with concrete recommendations for improving the use of IT in the NGO’s community in the Gaza Strip.
