Role of self-efficacy in e-library usage among students of a public university in Malaysia. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science, 9 (1). pp. 39-57. ISSN 1394-6234 (2004)



Abstract

This study looked at the influence of self-efficacy on e-library usage by 704 university students from four different schools in a Malaysian public university, School of Humanities, School of Mass Communication, School of Chemistry and School of Biology. The results of the study suggest that self-efficacy has a significant direct impact on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use when predicting e-library usage. Results also suggest that self-efficacy, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have direct significant impact on e-library usage. The results further indicate that perceived ease of use fully mediates self-efficacy when explaining e-library usage and perceived usefulness fully mediates perceived ease of use when predicting e-library usage.
