The Mediation Role of Adoption Readiness on Perceived Anxiety and Attitude Toward Using Database Management System in Correctional Institutions

Introduction to the Study

Overview of technology adoption in correctional settings, key variables, and research importance.

Correctional institutions rely heavily on manual records, which are error-prone and lead to inefficiencies. There is an urgent need for Database Management Systems (DBMS) amid significant gaps in technology adoption and persistent low digital integration rates.

Research Background

• Manual records prevalent in correctional institutions
• Error-prone processes lead to inefficiencies
• Urgent need for Database Management Systems (DBMS)
• Significant gaps in technology adoption
• Low digital integration rates persist

This slide outlines the research purpose of examining adoption readiness as a mediator between perceived anxiety and DBMS attitude in correctional institutions. Grounded in the UTAUT framework, it also incorporates gender moderation effects.

Research Purpose

• Examine mediation of adoption readiness
• Between perceived anxiety and DBMS attitude
• In correctional institutions context
• Grounded in UTAUT framework
• Including gender moderation effects

This slide outlines the presentation agenda with five main sections: Introduction and Background, Theoretical Framework, Research Model and Hypotheses, Methodology and Results, and Conclusions and Implications. Each section includes a brief description of its focus, such as key concepts, UTAUT foundations, hypothesis testing, and practical recommendations.

Proposed model with hypotheses on mediation and moderation.

Study design, data analysis, hypothesis testing, and findings.

5. Conclusions and Implications

Summary, theoretical contributions, and practical recommendations.

The slide presents theoretical foundations for technology adoption, with TAM emphasizing perceived usefulness and ease of use, and UTAUT adding social influence and facilitating conditions. It features an integrated TAM-UTAUT model for high-stress settings, adapted to correctional institutions' unique challenges.

Theoretical Foundations

• TAM: Perceived usefulness and ease of use drive adoption.
• UTAUT: Adds social influence, facilitating conditions to TAM.
• Integrated TAM-UTAUT: Models tech adoption in high-stress settings.
• Adapted for correctional institutions' unique challenges.

Perceived Anxiety is defined as apprehension toward technology use, arising from sources like tech complexity and job security fears. It fosters negative attitudes and reduced adoption readiness, making it key for correctional staff technology uptake.

Perceived Anxiety

• Defined as apprehension toward technology use
• Sources: tech complexity, job security fears
• Impacts: negative attitudes, reduced adoption readiness
• Key in correctional staff technology uptake

The slide "Adoption Readiness (UTAUT)" outlines four key factors from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. These are performance expectancy (system boosts job performance), effort expectancy (ease of use), social influence (others' impact), and facilitating conditions (organizational support).

Adoption Readiness (UTAUT)

• Performance expectancy: belief that system enhances job performance.
• Effort expectancy: perceived ease of using the system.
• Social influence: impact of important others on behavior.
• Facilitating conditions: organizational support for technology use.

Literature shows women experience higher technology anxiety and lower self-efficacy than men, contributing to persistent gender gaps in tech adoption. Gender is hypothesized to moderate perceived anxiety's negative impact on adoption readiness (per UTAUT), with stronger effects for females toward database systems in correctional institutions.

Gender Influence

The slide defines attitude toward CDS/DBMS as a positive or negative evaluation, measured via multi-item Likert scales on beliefs. It predicts behavioral intention in corrections, influences adoption readiness and usage, and serves as a key UTAUT construct in institutions.

Attitude Toward CDS/DBMS

• Definition: Positive/negative evaluation of CDS/DBMS
• Measurement: Multi-item Likert scales on beliefs
• Predictor: Behavioral intention in corrections
• Influences adoption readiness and usage
• Key UTAUT construct in institutions

The research model shows perceived anxiety negatively influencing adoption readiness, which positively affects attitude toward DBMS. Gender moderates the anxiety-to-readiness relationship, with a mediation path from anxiety through readiness to attitude.

Research Model

• Perceived anxiety negatively influences adoption readiness.
• Adoption readiness positively affects attitude toward DBMS.
• Gender moderates anxiety-to-readiness relationship.
• Mediation path: Anxiety → Readiness → Attitude.

The slide titled "Hypotheses" lists three key points: H1 states that anxiety negatively affects readiness, and H2 posits that readiness mediates the relationship between anxiety and attitude. H3 indicates that gender moderates these relationships.

Hypotheses

• H1: Anxiety negatively affects readiness.
• H2: Readiness mediates anxiety-attitude relationship.
• H3: Gender moderates the relationships.

This slide serves as the section header for Section 12: Research Methodology. It offers an overview of the study's methodological approach and procedures.

Research Methodology

Overview of the methodological approach and procedures employed in the study.

The research methodology employed a quantitative survey of 250 correctional staff respondents. Validated UTAUT scales measured anxiety, readiness, and attitudes toward CDS.

Research Methodology

• Quantitative survey of correctional staff
• Sample size: 250 respondents surveyed
• Instruments: validated UTAUT scales used
• Measured anxiety, readiness, and attitudes toward CDS

The Descriptive Statistics slide summarizes a survey of 250 participants with a mean age of 42 years and 60% male. It also reports a mean perceived anxiety level of 3.2.

The hypothesis testing results reveal a path coefficient (β) of -0.45, significant at p<0.01, confirming highly significant paths. The model shows strong fit with an R² of 0.62.

Strong model fit

Readiness fully mediates the link between anxiety and attitudes, with no direct anxiety-attitude relationship. Gender moderates this effect, which is stronger for females in corrections.

Key Findings

• Readiness fully mediates anxiety-attitude link
• No direct anxiety-attitude relationship
• Gender moderates mediation effect
• Stronger for females in corrections

The slide's left column shows an interaction plot where adoption readiness reduces perceived anxiety more steeply for males than females. The right column details hierarchical regression results confirming gender moderation (Readiness×Gender β=-0.28, p=0.008; ΔR²=0.06).

The "Mediation Analysis" slide features a path diagram illustrating indirect effects. It states that the Sobel test confirms mediation significance, with adoption readiness mediating the anxiety-attitude link.

This slide highlights theoretical implications by extending the UTAUT model to correctional institutions and enriching technology adoption theory. It identifies adoption readiness as a mediator and gender as a key moderator.

Theoretical Implications

• Extends UTAUT to correctional institutions
• Identifies adoption readiness as mediator
• Reveals gender as key moderator
• Enriches technology adoption theory

The "Practical Implications" slide recommends implementing training to boost adoption readiness and tailoring gender-specific interventions for DBMS rollout. It also advises reducing anxiety via readiness-focused programs and enhancing attitudes through targeted correctional support.

• Implement training to boost adoption readiness.
• Tailor interventions by gender for DBMS rollout.
• Reduce anxiety via readiness-focused programs.
