Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the direct and indirect impact of behavioral intention on academic performance by examining the usage behavior of e-learning systems among students at higher education institutions in Tanzania. The research employed an explanatory cross-sectional survey design and utilized a stratified sampling method to choose a sample of 312 participants. Data collection was conducted using documentary review and a questionnaire consisting of closed-ended questions. The inferential analysis of the collected data was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, facilitated by the utilization of SmartPLS 4 software and descriptive analysis was performed with the help of IBM SPSS statistics version 26. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between behavioral intention and academic performance (p value<0.05). This relationship is mediated by the use behavior of the e-learning system. The findings of the study suggest that there is an indirect relationship between students' behavioral intention to utilize e-learning systems and their academic achievement in higher education institutions. Additionally, the effectiveness of the e-learning system is contingent upon the user's behavior. Hence, it is advisable that in the context of developing nations, with specific reference to Tanzania, due attention should be given to the behavioral intention and use patterns of students both during and subsequent to the deployment of the novel e-learning system.
