这项工作旨在调查在沙特学生中提高电子学习系统的使用和接受度方面可能发挥重要作用的主要决定因素。该研究采用了技术接受和使用统一理论（e-UTAUT）模型，并引入了新的结构来研究沙特阿拉伯背景下电子学习系统的接受程度。这些数据是通过对费萨尔国王大学（KFU）的507名本科生和研究生进行问卷调查收集的。利用结构方程建模技术（SEM）对研究模型进行了验证。结果表明，课程设计、课程内容支持、课程评估和教师特征等因素对电子学习系统的实际使用有显著影响。然而，社会影响对实际使用的影响在统计上是不显著的。此外，课程设计、课程内容支持、课程评估和教师特征因素对电子学习系统的绩效期望有正向影响。研究结果可为高校管理者和研究人员在改进课程设计、课程内容和课程评估时了解学生的优先事项提供重要参考，从而提高学生对电子学习系统的使用和接受程度。
This work aims to investigate the main determinants that could play an important role in increasing the usage and acceptance of e-learning systems among Saudi students. The study employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (e-UTAUT) model and introduced new constructs to study the acceptance of e-learning systems in the Saudi Arabian context. The data were collected using a questionnaire survey from a total of 507 undergraduate and postgraduate students at King Faisal University (KFU). The research model was tested using the structural equation modeling technique (SEM). Based on the results, the factors of course design, course content support, course assessment and instructor characteristics were shown to have a significant effect on the actual use of e-learning systems. However, the influence of social influence on actual use was found to be statistically insignificant. Additionally, the course design, course content support, course assessment and instructor characteristics factors were found to have a positive effect on the performance expectancy of e-learning systems. The research findings serve as an important reference for university managers and researchers on students' priorities when improving course design, course content and course assessment, thereby increasing the usage and acceptance of e-learning systems among students.
