Abstract
Purpose: The study aims to examine the influence of Perceived Credibility on the use of Social
Networking Technologies (SNTs) in institutions of higher learning in Uganda. The Study evaluates the
influence of Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Credibility on the adoption of
Social Networking Technologies.
Research Methodology: The study opted for cross sectional survey methodology to gather data from 146
institutions of higher learning on the variables captured by the modified Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived
Usefulness and Perceived Credibility construct.
Findings: Results of correlation and regression analysis indicated that in addition to Perceived Ease of
Use and Perceived Usefulness, a positive and significant relationship exists between Perceived Credibility
and SNTs adoption.
Research Limitations: The Study was limited to senior managers, further research is recommended to
investigate the perceived credibility of SNTs by Students and Lecturers because they are the actual users
of such technologies.
