Analysis of External Influence on Implementing Innovative Technologies in Higher-Education Institutions of Developing Countries

Abstract

Technology-enhanced teaching is influenced by numerous and varied factors such as individual characteristics, users’ perception of technology, and external factors. External factors usually comprise of four variables: Organizational Characteristics, External Pressure, Technical Support, and Social Influence. To examine these components, a survey was conducted with 384 staff and students across two higher-education institutions in Nigeria. The use of stratified sampling method was applied in gathering information from a broad classification of universities. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were conducted to understand the relationship and impact between external factors for implementing innovative technologies and its adoption in higher-education institutions in Nigeria. The outcome of this study confirmed that three components: Technical Support, Social Influence, and External Pressure are statistically significant as external factors for implementing innovative technologies in higher-education institutions in Nigeria.
