Assessing the Effects of UTAUT and Self-Determination Predictor on Students Continuance Intention to Use Student Portal

Higher Education Institution, with the advent of information system technology, is putting in an effort to introduce a student portal system for use by students. Continued usage considered as a measure of success in information system implementation. The objective of this study is to propose an integrated research framework to investigate the factors that can motivate students to continue to utilize UCSA student portal system. Two streams of research provide the basis for this integrated framework namely Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and Self-Determination theory. A total sample of 279 students from UCSA (University College ShahPutra) responded to 20-item questionnaires containing 6 constructs: continuance intention to use, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition and intrinsic motivation. Covariance-based SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) was employed as the main method of analysis. Results revealed that the performance expectancy and intrinsic motivation do not have any statistically significant effect on continuance intention to use UCSA student portal. However, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating condition were shown to significantly influence continuance intention. The model which derived from the data explained 53 % of variance of student portal continuance intention.
