Understanding the Individual-level digital divide : evidence of an African CountryDigital divideTechnology adoptionICTBasic valuesICT skillsDissertation presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Information Management, specialization in Information Systems and Technologies ManagementDigital divide, the differential in access and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) represents an obstacle to the information society, and general wellbeing. This study combines the extended unified theory of acceptance, and use of technology (UTAUT2) (Venkatesh, Thong, & Xu, 2012), Schwartz’s basic human values theory (Schwartz, 1992) and ICT skills to: (1) understand which factors influence ICT acceptance among individuals; (2) explore the role of basic values on ICT acceptance; and, (3) examine how these factors explain the digital divide. The research model was tested in the context of a sub-Saharan country. Empirical results suggest that ICT use is mainly influenced by behavioral intention, habit, and ICT skills. Hedonism, achievement, benevolence, and universalism were the most significant values.Oliveira, Tiago André Gonçalves Félix deJesus, Frederico Miguel Campos Cruz Ribeiro deRUNGonçalves, Glória Eduara Moura2019-12-15T01:30:38Z2016-12-152016-12-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/19900TID:201433761enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T17:24:32Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/19900Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openairemluisa.alvim@gmail.comopendoar:71602024-05-22T17:24:32Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
