Factors influencing behavioral intention to use computers among teachers

Since the first computer system was implemented in Malaysia in 1996, computers were deployed to schools in Malaysia. Teachers are expected to use the computers in classrooms to accomplish the country's vision to reach the level of a world class quality education system by the end of year 2020....
