DETERMINANTS OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS USAGE AND ACCEPTANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Information systems are recently widely introduced at Polish Universities, both teachers and students have problems using them. Recently Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) has launched new University Management Systems, among them Internet based platforms for students and teachers: mandatory Dean's Office Service System (USOS) is continuously developed and updated with new features. The aim of this paper is to find main determinants and variables regarding use and acceptance of the USOS. The study was conducted among university teachers at Warsaw University of Technology Branch in Plock. The Internet based survey was conducted via Internet. Teachers highly evaluated the system, however the negative relationship between the didactic position and the frequency of use and USOS knowledge is visible. Based on the survey conducted in Plock the study will be extended to the entire University.
