The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) could be extended to include external variables including computer self-efficacy, prior experience, computer anxiety, management support and compatibility, to further understand the learners' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of an e-learning system. The study also aims to clarify which factors are more influential in affecting the decision to use e-learning. Five factors were examined together with the TAM construct using the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) technique. The study reveals that management support, prior experience, computer anxiety and compatibility have predictive power towards behavioral intention to use e-learning systems. The results gained from this study, which took place in the banking workplace in Indonesia, provide a conceptual framework for individuals and organizations to better understand the critical factors which influence e-learning acceptance in developing countries.
Due to the continued prevalence of e-learning underutilization in Indonesia's higher education context, this study empirically examines individual and system characteristics believed to influence students' acceptance of e-learning systems. The proposed research model is developed to examine the influence of five characteristics of the Technology Acceptance Model using the Structural Equation Modelling technique. This study found that both individual characteristics, computer self-efficacy and internet self-efficacy, play an important role, indirectly affecting perceived intention to use e-learning. The system characteristics including learning content and technology accessibility have been found to significantly influence learners' acceptance behaviours. Both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness were found to be significant predictors of perceived intention to use. Additionally, perceived usefulness was found to have more predictive power than perceived ease of use on behavioural intention to use. This study contributes to a better understanding of how to enhance e-learning acceptance through improvement in individual and system characteristics.
The use of information and communication technology (ICT) has become progressively widespread in various sectors including agriculture. This study investigated the barriers to the diffusion of ICT in agricultural extension. Further, the study examined the effect of barriers toward ICT acceptance in agricultural extension. A paper and pencil survey by mail was conducted to collect data from 355 respondents in the Greater Surakarta Region, Indonesia. The study discovered that individual barriers, cultural barriers, government policy barriers, support and technological barriers significantly influenced the acceptance of ICT. In line with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), these variables influenced perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and perceived intention to use of ICT. The findings suggested the methods that could be adopted by governments and non-government bodies to overcome the barriers in ICT implementation.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap permintaan daging ayam kampung dan untuk mengetahui perbedaan permintaan antar kelompok konsumen berdasarkan karakteristik demografis konsumen terhadap pembelian daging ayam kampung di pasar tradsisional Kota Surakarta.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 24 Agustus-21 September 2017 di pasar tradisional Kota Surakarta dengan metode survei.Responden adalah pembeli daging ayam kampung dengan pemilihan sampel menggunakan metode convenience sampling sebanyak 60 responden. Data yang diperoleh berupa data primer meliputi: karakteristik demografis, (pendapatan, umur, pendidikan, jumlah anggota keluarga), harga daging ayam kampung dan harga daging ayam broiler. Data sekunder meliputi data Dinas Peternakan, Badan Pusat Statistik, dan buku pustaka.Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi linier berganda dilanjutkan dengan uji determinasi (R 2), uji F, uji t dan uji Oneway Anova. Analisis regresi linier berganda diperoleh persamaan Y = 4,811-2,443X 1-4,366X 2-0,038X 3 + 5,503X 4-0,248X 5-0,197X 6. Nilai R 2 sebesar 0,593 artinya semua variabel bebas mempengaruhi variabel terikat yaitu permintaan daging ayam kampung sebesar 59,3%. Uji F menunjukkan nilai F hitung 12,876 > F tabel 2,275 berarti bahwa menolak H 0 yaitu variabel bebas berpengaruh secara bersama-sama terhadap variabel terikat.Hasil Uji t dan hasil uji Oneway Anova variabel umur dan pendapatan secara individu berbengaruh signifikan terhadap permintaan daging ayam kampung.Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah semua variabel secara bersama-sama mempengaruhi permintaan daging ayam kampung, secara individu faktor umur dan pendapatan, menunjukkan perbedaan terhadap permintaan daging ayam kampungdi pasar tradisional Kota Surakarta.
INTISARIPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor pokok yang dapat mempengaruhi pengembangan usaha ternak sapi potong dan mengetahui bentuk-bentuk strategi yang dapat diterapkan dalam pengembangan usaha ternak sapi potong di Kecamatan Wuryantoro Kabupaten Wonogiri. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode campuran (mixedmethod) kualitatif dan kuantitatif untuk mengumpulkan data primer dari responden dan data sekunder dari instansi terkait, yaitu BPS Kabupaten Wonogiri, Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Wonogiri, dan Kecamatan Wuryantoro. Pengambilan sampel penelitian ditentukan secara kebetulan (convenience sampling) sebanyak 60 responden peternak sapi potong, dan 10 responden dari Dinas Peternakan dan pedagang sapi. Analisis data menggunakan analisis situasi internal dan eksternal serta analisis SWOT. Hasil analisis SWOT secara kualitatif pada faktor internal menghasilkan identifikasi kekuatan (strength) dan kelemahan (weakness) yang terdapat pada usaha ternak sapi yang terdiri dari sumber daya manusia, kondisi keuangan, operasional/produksi, manajemen, pemasaran. Hasil analisis pada faktor eksternal menghasilkan identifikasi faktor eketernal berupa peluang (opportunity), dan ancaman (threats) yang ada pada usaha ternak sapi potong terdiri dari lingkungan sosial, ekonomi, kebijakan pemerintah, dan teknologi. Hasil analisis matriks SWOT kuantitatif menunjukkan faktor internal sebesar 1,09 (pada sumbu x), dan faktor eksternal sebesar 0,23 (pada sumbu y). Oleh karena itu strategi yang sesuai dalam pengembangan peternakan sapi potong berada pada kuadran I yaitu mendukung kebijakan pertumbuhan yang agresif (GrowthOrientedStrategy), yaitu menggunakan kekuatan untuk memperoleh peluang, keuntungan dalam usaha ternak sapi potong.(Kata kunci: Analisis SWOT, Sapi potong, Strategi pengembangan) ABSTRACT This study was aimed to determine the principal factors that may affect any development of the cattle business and know what strategies can be applied in the development of the cattle business in the
