Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between personal attributes and the motivation of learning computer skills among junior high students in Taiwan. It is found that personal attributes such as computer anxiety, computer self-efficacy, learning style, behavior intention, and computer competence significantly correlate with the motivation to learn computer skills. It is also shown that male students have lower computer anxiety and higher motivation to learn computer skills. Furthermore, a structural model is established to depict the key antecedents of the motivation to learn computer skills. Computer anxiety highly correlates with computer self-efficacy, while computer self-efficacy and perceived ease of use have strong and direct influences on the motivation of learning computer skills.
