Abstract

The future of the internet is already here and today. This is marked by the use of internet technology that continues to grow rapidly with its capability to facilitate numerous human activities. One of the most important capacities of internet technology is its ability to expedite mobile learning leveraged by any profession. The dissemination of internet technology, however, requires digital literacy as well as information literacy performed by individual users. This study is conducted in an objective to examine the influence of digital and information literacy on the intention to use mobile technology for a learning purpose among Indonesia Gen Z. In addition, we also analyzed the mediating effect of performance expectancy between the literacy and intention relationship. This explanatory research employed a quantitative approach involving 155 Indonesian Gen Z respondents in an online questionnaire-based survey. Using Partial Least Square data processing technique, this study shows that information literacy has a significant effect on the intention to use mobile technology for learning while digital literacy does not. Besides, the statistical calculation results that performance expectancy has mediating effect only between information literacy and intention to use mobile technology for learning among Indonesia Gen Z. The business implication generated from this research shows that, since information literacy significantly forms Gen Zs expectation of mobile learning platform performance in Indonesia, Indonesia mobile learning platform providers are recommended to provide informative and alluring content to gain attraction and raise the satisfaction of using the mobile learning platform service.
