Abstract

The study examines the intention to adopt 21st-century educational technology in higher education, focusing on the factors contributing to educators’ intention to adopt. The novel framework conceptualised in this study combines prominent theories and models, including acceptance, five-factor traits, and technological competence. The study uses partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and predictive relevance analysis with PLSpredict to test the model’s predictive validity. The study found that the conceptualised model was reliable and consistent with sufficient discriminant validity, and the PLSpredict analysis concluded that the developed conceptual framework has high out-of-sample predictive power. The study’s implications for practice and policy include engaging with educators to understand their concerns about technology acceptance, designing personality mapping, aligning with future personality intervention, and ensuring that investment in technology is fully deployed in line with demands and new requirements.
