    Technology Acceptance, Media Choice and Effective Electronic Meetings of International Non-Governmental Organisations in West Nile, Uganda.
    (2024) Aisu, Gilbert
    Even though, the use of electronic meetings is increasing in the International Non-Governmental Organisation in West Nile Uganda, they are still falling short of effectiveness. This study amongst International Non-Governmental Organisations in West Nile Uganda aimed at examining the relationships among technology acceptance, media choice and effective electronic meetings. This study was quantitative in nature. The study population comprised of 56 International Non- Governmental Organisations, which were selected out of 68, using the Krejcie and Morgan formula of 1970. Using a 5 likert scale questionnaire coded in Kobotoolbox, primary data was collected from 276 respondents out of 336. 276 respondents received the link to the questionnaire and submitted, providing a response rate of 82%. This study found out that there is a: weak positive statistically significant relationship (0.237) between technology acceptance and effective electronic meetings; strong positive statistically significant relationship (0.523) between media choice and effective electronic meetings; weak positive statistically significant relationship (0.259) between technology acceptance and media choice; and a relationship between technology acceptance and effective electronic meetings, is mediated by media choice. Further the study discovered, that organisations with good media choice are 13.373 times likely to have effective meetings than those without it. Furthermore, it was discovered that organisations with good technology acceptance are 2.539 times likely to have effective electronic meetings than those without it. This study is valuable to researchers and policy makers in the areas of electronic meetings, by putting forward how technology acceptance and media choice support in creating effective electronic meetings. Therefore, this study recommends the incorporation of technology acceptance and media choice to make electronic meetings effective. Also, this study was limited to only International Non- Governmental Organisations (INGOs) in West Nile region. Therefore, further replication of this study in other regions with other organisations and sectors, is one of the recommended areas for further studies.
