English Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model, which describes the factors affecting online knowledge sharing usage behavior of knowledge training centers, that follow the International Telecentre Foundation in MENA region.
Based on UTAUT this study investigates the effect of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions on managers’ intention to use online KS.
Data were collected using online questionnaire consisting of 22- Likert type items from a convenience sample of 297 respondents of knowledge training centers’ managers , data was analyzed using AMOS 16.0 to determine the interaction between the various factors .
The results confirm that performance expectancy, effort expectancy have a significantly positive effect on behavioral intention, which in turn has a positive effect to actual use of technology.
Facilitating conditions have direct positive effect on the actual usage, while social influence has no significant effect on either intention to use or the actual usage.
Several recommendations and future research directions were proposed.
