Abstract:
The higher education institutions (HEIs) are adopting the new modern cloud computing technique rapidly due to its cost effectiveness, efficient and productive feature. Though cloud computing technology is beneficial to educational sector, it is important to assess their economic benefits, technical, organizational, environmental appropriateness and potential obstacles before adopting the new technology. There are four evaluating theory for adopting the cloud computing technology which are the Technology Organization Environment (TOE), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI), and the Institutional (INT). This study has developed a new adoption framework for accepting cloud computing technology for HEIs of Saudi by integrating the above mentioned theories. This framework is unique from others because no research has been conducted yet on the adoption of community cloud at the organizational level considering the four theory simultaneously. This research has developed 25 hypotheses on the adoption of community cloud computing in HEIs and analyzed those hypotheses using SPSS statistical analysis software. The reliability of the data was tested by utilizing composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha method. This study have introduced an innovative approach and framework to understand the adoption of the community cloud which will help the decision-makers to build strategies in their organizations for effective adoption of community cloud services.
