Testing young business students for technology acceptance and learning performance

“

"The most controversial finding was that gender did not impact BI but it was a significant predictor of actual performance. Correlation, stepwise regression and an independent t test confirmed that gender was not related to behavioural intent. The lack of a relationship between gender and BI was in stark contrast to the literature (Alotaibi, 2014; Oliveira et al., 2014; Venkatesh et al., 2012; Viswanath and Davis, 2000; Zhou, Lu, and Wang, 2010; Zorica and Tamara, 2011). On the other hand, hierarchical regression on actual grade revealed that gender was a significant predictor of actual performance and females outperformed males (? = –.142, T = –5.6, p = .000; independent T(63) = 4.04, p = .000, two-tailed). Very few studies collected independent evidence of actual behaviour but of those that did, Zorica and Tamara (2011) found that females performed better. Venkatesh and Bala (2008) also found gender was not related to usage behaviour. " (p. 259)
