Abstract

Various models and theories have been developed to measure and understand the factors that influence an individual's decision to use technology. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), meanwhile, has received widespread support as a robust model for explaining individuals' decision to use technology. The statistical population of this study was 28161 sports secretaries of Kurdistan province, of which 205 people answered the questionnaire voluntarily. To collect data, the decision questionnaire to use technology using the theory of planned behavior was used. Relationships can be meaningful and the research model can provide a suitable model and show the relationships between dimensions and variables well. This study confirms the theoretical importance of teachers' perceptions (ie perceived ease, perceived usefulness, perceived behavioral control) and attitude technology in predicting their future intention to use technology, and also shows that environmental factors (ie management expectation) And technical support) also play an important role in influencing their technology.Various models and theories have been developed to measure and understand the factors that influence an individual's decision to use technology.
