Computer attitudes of non-computing academics: a study of technical colleges in Brunei Darussalam
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current information systems (IS) literature has paid considerable attention to measuring the computer attitudes of students and schoolteachers. Computer attitudes of non-computing academics working particularly in technical colleges have, however, received scant attention. Moreover, studies on computer attitudes among Asian academics are least reported. Keeping this in view, this study was undertaken by validating an instrument to measure computer attitudes of non-computing academics working among technical colleges in Brunei Darussalam. This study also identi®ed factors that contributed to the formation of computer attitudes of academics. This was achieved by undertaking a survey of 192 non-computing academics from four technical colleges. Attributes related to demographics and education of academics appeared to have little impact on computer attitudes. In contrast, ownership of a personal computer (PC) and level of computer skill were found to be important. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
