Abstract: Digital transformation has shown the ability to complement, enrich and transform education, with the potential to accelerate progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4 for education. This digital transformation involves multiple stakeholders, with the teacher serving as a central actor and playing a key role in the integration of digital technologies in the teaching-learning process. In recent years, digital transformation in higher education has emerged as a key focus in research. To investigate the impact, a study model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology is employed. A pilot study confirmed the model is suitable for investigating on Behaviour Intention of faculty members toward digital transformation in higher education institutions. Survey responses were collected from 500 higher education teachers across various parts of Karnataka. The findings from the study analysis reveal that Employee Involvement and Techno support significantly impact Behaviour Intention.

Keywords: digital transformation; higher education; employee involvement; techno support; behavioural intention.
