Abstract—This paper investigates the mediating role of
perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on the effect of
online learning self-efficacy factors: learning in an online
environment, time management, and technology use to the
students' behavioral intention to use learning management
system. A cross-sectional explanatory research design was
employed to collect and interpret the data gathered from 470
senior high students. Mediation analyses were initiated using
PROCESS v3.5 following the procedure of Hayes (2013).
Findings revealed that the three online learning self-efficacy
factors, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use could
explain the variation of students' behavioral intention to use.
The results further showed that perceived usefulness and ease
of use are both significant mediators in the relationship between
online learning self-efficacy factors and student's behavioral
intention to use. These results suggest that the future intention
to use is higher when the students' perception of LMS found it
valuable and easy to use. Development and adoption of LMS in
educational institutions should consider the usefulness and
manageability features to increase usage, fostering successful
LMS-based course implementation.
Index Terms—Behavioral intention to use, mediating role,
online learning self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, perceived
usefulness.
