Abstract: The study aims to investigate factors determining technology adoption by teachers in higher education institutions during the post-pandemic era. The research develops an empirical model that focuses on the factors influencing technology adoption by teachers. The required qualitative data were gathered from 278 teachers through an online survey. The study findings revealed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions positively impacted attitudes towards the use of technology. Similarly, the attitude towards the use of technology positively impacted behavioural intention. This study contributes to the literature by developing and validating a theory-driven framework that highlights the factors influencing technology adoption by teachers in higher educational institutions. Furthermore, the study results may serve as a guide for stakeholders and policymakers to comprehend how teachers accept and use technology.

Keywords: higher education institutions; technology adoption; UTAUT; behavioural intention.
