  • Along with the rapid development of information and communication technologies (ICTSs), an astonishing number of mobile commerce applications have become available.

    Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the use and acceptance of the Mobile Edu- cation Information System of Sakarya University (SABIS), a comprehensive information technology platform developed and implemented by Sakarya University Information Systems Department. Data were obtained from Sakarya University undergraduate students via a paper based survey to test the “Mobile Services Acceptance Model” using Structural Equation Model. Findings from 227 management undergraduate students indicated that the trust is important factor for predicting intention to use, yet the personal characteristics, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness do not have a meaningful effect on user intentions to adopt mobile SABIS. Results also showed a strong exogenous role of context and a positive strong relationship among perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and trust to intentions to use in our theoretical framework.
