Exploring teacher acceptance of e‐learning technology

Abstract: A number of studies have indicated that the successful pedagogical use of technology depends on teachers' attitudes and acceptance towards technology. In order to predict and understand teachers' technology use and acceptance, a well‐defined framework is essential. The purpose of the present paper attempts to explore a model to understand teacher acceptance of e‐learning technology. A self‐reported questionnaire was designed to examine teacher acceptance and attitude towards an online learning platform. Data were collected from 152 in‐service teachers who were studying in a part‐time teacher education program in Hong Kong. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as the core framework for analysis while additional constructs were added in order to find a better model to understand teacher acceptance of e‐learning technology. A composite model including five constructs, namely, intention to use, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norm and computer self‐efficacy, were formed and t...

CEO duality and firm performance: evidence from Hong Kong

Abstract: Purpose – This paper seeks to examine the relationship between chief executive officer (CEO) duality and firm performance and the moderating effects of the family control factor on this relationship with respect to public companies in Hong Kong.Design/methodology/approach – This study employs publicly available data from financial databases and the annual reports of a sample of 128 publicly‐listed companies in Hong Kong in 2003.Findings – Neither agency theory nor stewardship theory alone can adequately explain the duality‐performance relationship. The empirical evidence suggests that the relationship between CEO duality and accounting performance is contingent on the presence of the family control factor. CEO duality is good for non‐family firms, while non‐duality is good for family‐controlled firms.Research limitations/implications – The study is based on publicly available financial data, and actual board processes are not observed.Practical implications – The design of board leadership structure is co...
