Abstract:
We conducted a multi-institutional case study to identify the issues associated with the adoption of information
and communication technology (ICT) in five private care hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We conducted
interviews with 37 respondents primarily comprising IT professionals.
We found that there were three determinants of behavioural intentions in this case study: organisation
objectives, facilitating conditions and social influence where there are no effects of performance expectancy
or effort expectancy. In all five cases, none of the moderators (age, gender, experience and voluntariness) in
the original united theory of acceptance and use of technology model were considered critically important
by IT professionals. In the present paper, all qualitative elements such as themes, patterns and overarching in
the data were analysed to reach a conclusion. In addition, the various perspectives of using ICT are discussed.
