An investigation on Senior Students’ Behavioral Intention to Use Tencent Meeting for Legal Course in Chengdu, China

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to investigate senior students’ behavioral intention to use Tencent meeting for the legal course in Chengdu, China. The key variables are developed from previous literature, including perceived usefulness, attitude, social influence, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, behavioral intention, and use behavior. Research design, data, and methodology: The target population is 500 fourth-year students at three selected universities who have experience using the Tencent platform for the law course. Probability and nonprobability are used, including judgmental, stratified random, and convenience sampling. Before the data collection, the Item Objective Congruence (IOC) Index and the pilot test (n=30) by Cronbach’s Alpha were assessed to ensure content validity and reliability. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used as statistical tools to confirm validity, reliability, and hypotheses testing. Results: The results show that all hypotheses are supported. Perceived usefulness significantly impacts attitude. Attitude, social influence, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm significantly impacts behavioral intention. Furthermore, behavioral intention significantly impacts use behavior. Conclusions: Tencent meeting developers, college administrators, or practitioners should focus on improving students’ Tencent meeting use behavior. The developer of Tencent Meeting and the college’s top management should concentrate on making students’ perceptions of the app’s usefulness, social influence, and attitude
