BACKGROUND:

To encourage students’ behavioural intentions (BI) to use Learning Management System (LMS) in Saudi Arabia, policymakers, particularly the ministry of higher education, should persuade potential users that LMS is useful, simple to use, and that others have high expectations for its use in the near future.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to identify factors influencing students’ BI towards accepting the LMS in Saudi Arabia.

METHODS:

An online questionnaire was used to collect 212 student responses from Saudi Arabia’s University of Hail. The integrated model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

RESULTS:

The results of analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed that factors influencing students’ attitudes towards accepting the LMS and, thus, their BI towards the use of the LMS in Saudi Arabia, were their perceived behavioural control (PBC) and perceived usefulness (PUS). On the contrary, attitudes toward behaviour (ATB), subjective norms (SN), and perceived ease of use (PEU) have no influence on students’ BI.

CONCLUSIONS:

The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the predictor variables Technology Acceptance Modell (TAM) and Theory of Plan Behaviour (TPB) on students’ BI to use LMS in Saudi Arabian universities.
