Explanation of the Role of Organizational Support, Computer Experience, Computer Anxiety, and Computer Self Efficacy in the Prediction of Computer Usage among Experts of University of Tehran

The present study aimed to explore the role of organizational support, computer experience, computer anxiety and computer self efficacy in predicting computer implementation among the experts of University of Tehran. In doing so, conceptual model of research has been designed and suggested using TAM model (Technology Acceptance Model) and theoretical and empirical literature has been used. In order to analyze data, path analyze was used. Findings showed that computer experience had direct and positive impact on computer implementation and also had direct and negative impact on computer anxiety, in other hand, organizational support had direct and negative impact on computer self efficacy, and in the same time had not direct and negative impact on computer anxiety. Also, computer self efficacy hadn’t any impact on computer anxiety and computer implementation, but computer anxiety had direct and negative impact on computer implementation. Furthermore, findings showed that only computer experience had indirect impact on computer implementation and this impact has been down by computer self efficacy. In other words, computer self efficacy had a mediator role between computer experience and computer implementation. Finally, the findings showed that the model has a good fitness with research data, and it can explain 20 percent of computer implementation variance.
