Abstract

The objectives of this article are: explore the adherence to digital etiquette and ‎belief-oriented technology use, examine the relationship between ‎digital etiquette and belief-oriented technology use, and examine the influence of ‎IT Course on students' digital etiquette. The ‎sample comprised 350 students, who were taking IT and ‎non-IT Courses at two private universities. The research employed a ‎cross-sectional survey using a two-part questionnaire. The first part measured digital etiquette, while the second part measured technology use orientation results showed a widespread adherence to digital etiquette among the respondents ‎with very small numbers reporting the violation of ethics. The same positive pattern was found with use orientation where most respondents reported a positive technology use orientation ‎based on their belief. The correlation analysis indicated a strong positive relationship ‎between digital etiquette and belief-orientation (r = 932), while the t-test results revealed a non-‎ significance difference between IT and non-IT students in their digital etiquette.
