The Role of Compatibility and Task-Technology Fit (TTF): On Social Networking Applications (SNAs) Usage as Sustainability in Higher Education

This study aimed to alleviate the gap between the literature regarding the Social Networking Applications (SNAs) use for active collaboration and engagement as sustainability in higher education and task-technology-fit (TTF) and compatibility on their consequence on students’ satisfaction and their performance impact its sustainability used in higher education. Although researchers have examined (SNAs) usage within multiple situations, the roles of (TTF) and compatibility as mediating variables have not been investigated through TAM model and constructivism theory on measuring education sustainability. Overall 602 students and researchers took part in this study, which were selected from public university. Using the method of structural equation modeling (SEM), we surveyed to discover the perception of students toward the (SNAs). Based on the results, the (SNAs) use for collaboration and engagement as sustainability in higher education, and TTF and compatibility positively impacted the student’s learning performance on measuring education sustainability, and they were found to be completely pleased with the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. In conclusion, the role of TTF and compatibility presents positive influences performances related to sustainability for education; and both factors mediates associations among collaboration and engagement as sustainability in higher education, students’ satisfaction on (SNAs) usage and students’ performance related to sustainability for education. Therefore, their impact should be encouraged in learning processes in higher education institutions.
