Acceptance of using technologies in telesupervision during the pandemic: An international study

Abstract

This study utilizes the Technology Acceptance Model by exploring the relationship between user acceptance attitude and actual usage behaviors of technological tools in telesupervision among supervisors in international societies. Specifically, the age of supervisors is examined to see whether it mediates the relationship between acceptance attitude and usage behavior. Survey data were collected from 194 supervisors in international societies using online Survey Monkey. The results indicated a significant relationship between user acceptance attitude and actual usage behaviors of technological tools in telesupervision. Implications of these findings for supervision training and further telesupervision development are discussed.
