Abstract

This paper aims to understand the intention of using e-book among the international students studying in Thailand. The paper adopts Technology Acceptance Model to comprehend the association between perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitudes, and intention to use e-book for their studies. The study further considers trust as a moderating effect on the attitude of adopting e-book. The data was collected from international students studying in a private university in Thailand. A structural equation model (SEM) was done to understand the association between the constructs. The SEM results reveal that all the relationships are positively associated except that trust’s moderating effect is negatively associated with perceived ease of use and attitudes. The results are helpful for the policymakers and administrators in the university in adopting e-book platforms for their students.
