Abstract

This research was done with the aim of preparing a causal model of the relationship between intelligence beliefs and information technology acceptance with regard to the mediating role of achievement goals, computer anxiety, and computer self-efficacy among Shiraz Payame Noor University students using path analysis. For doing so, 375 students from Shiraz Payame Noor University were selected through multistage cluster sampling and answered to a questionnaire consisted of intelligence beliefs, achievement goals, computer anxiety, computer self-efficacy, and technology acceptance scales. The results generally indicated that incremental intelligence beliefs affects technology acceptance indirectly and positively via the mediation of mastery goals, computer anxiety, and computer self-efficacy. Entity intelligence beliefs had indirect negative effects on technology acceptance via the mediation of performance-avoidance goals, performance-approach goals, and computer anxiety. Moreover, the results showed that the explained variance for technology acceptance is 36 percent in the fitted model.
