ABSTRACT
The Relationship between Computer Attitude and Knowledge-Sourcing Activity Lua et al. (2009) found that users’ perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment significantly influence their attitude toward using computers, which in turn impact their behavioral intention. Ranaweera et al. (2008) contend that users’ technology perceptions have fundamental relevance to online behaviors. Furthermore, Lin et al. (2007) conclude that technology readiness and acceptance have a significant effect on consumers’ adoption of technological innovations. Similar correlations between computer attitudes and online behaviors can also be found in educational settings. For instance, van der Rhee et al. (2007) suggest that learners who are more technology-ready are more likely to participate in a variety of online courses. Song and Shin (2008) propose that users’ technological capabilities can influence their motivations to source knowledge.
