Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to: empirically validate a modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model by adding an “e‐learning motivation” construct in the South American context; try to determine the role of e‐learning motivation in the use and adoption of e‐learning systems and conversely the effect of technology on students' e‐learning motivation; and to test region and gender as moderators in the model.

Design/methodology/approach

A survey method was used to collect data from 47 schools located at different regions: the coast, Andes, and jungle of Peru. The partial least square technique was used for data analysis.

Findings

It was found that “e‐learning motivation” and “social influence” had a positive influence on behavioural intention, while “facilitating condition” had no effect on e‐learning portal use. Furthermore, use behaviour had a positive influence on e‐learning motivation. Also found was the moderating role of “region”.

Research limitations/implications

The analysis is carried out in a single country, thus, caution should be taken in generalisation of the results.

Practical implications

The findings will help policy makers and practitioners in developing countries to better understand students' e‐learning motivation.

Originality/value

By adopting the UTAUT model, a new construct of “e‐learning motivation” is added, and applied to the South American context.

Abstract

Purpose

This article develops a review of the university social responsibility literature to identify the most influential countries, authors, journals, and institutions, their structure, and research lines.

Design/methodology/approach

The review was carried out from a bibliometric and network analysis of documents published in the Web of Science database.

Findings

In total, 192 documents were found that were scientifically mapped in this field. From the network analysis, four research perspectives were identified: strategic impact management policy, user and its stakeholders, service-learning and its contribution to user, and theories, approaches, and strategies of University Social Responsibility (USR). Finally, the agenda for future research are presented.

Originality/value

The present work carries out a bibliometric and network analysis that seeks to contribute to the literature on USR, identifying its current perspectives and future lines of research.
