The mediation role of adoption readiness on perceived anxiety and attitude toward using database management system at correctional institutions.

Taking into account the literature on technology acceptance and adoption, this study aimed to investigate the mediating role of adoption readiness, which was built on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), on the relationship between perceived anxiety and attitude toward using the system. This research also evaluated demographic variations and gender roles that could be considered when developing technology-use strategies. In a nutshell, this research looked into the negative and positive effects of technology integration through UTAUT's Correctional Database System (CDS).
