A qualidade das interações está relacionada ao ajustamento emocional e comportamento de cada um na dinâmica familiar que pode contribuir para a percepção quanto as suas potencialidades e dificuldades. Recursos como a Tecnologia Assistiva (TA) favorecem a autonomia, a independência funcional e as interações sociais e familiares, facilitam o acesso à educação e ao trabalho, podendo ser aplicados em vários contextos melhorando a qualidade de vida do usuário. Esse estudo teve como objetivo conhecer as características dos familiares de pessoas com comprometimento motor grave e as suas expectativas em relação ao uso do sistema AUXILIS. A investigação de caráter qualitativo contou com amostra constituída por seis familiares previamente selecionados para participarem do Projeto AUXILIS do CTI/MCT, sendo quatro mães e duas avós maternas com idades entre 38 e 57 anos que realizavam a função de principal cuidador de seus filhos e netos com comprometimento motor grave e sem possibilidade de uso convencional do computador devido a limitações físicas. O registro das informações se deu em uma das instituições parceiras do Projeto AUXILIS por meio de entrevistas semidirigidas gravadas e transcritas. As informações foram agrupadas em quatro categorias temáticas e analisadas conforme a técnica de análise de conteúdo. As expectativas apresentadas em relação ao uso de tecnologia assistiva desenvolvida em tecnologia da informação se referem ao desejo de que o filho/neto desenvolva a comunicação e a autonomia, melhore a autoestima e adquira ou aprimore habilidades sociais e escolares. Insegurança quanto à capacidade dos filhos/netos no uso do recurso, a possibilidade deles se tornarem totalmente independente, a possibilidade de frustração dessas expectativas familiares, o sentimento de culpa e a busca por reparação também estavam presentes nos relatos<br>Abstract: The family has an important role socialization and fundamental to the formation of the first affective ties to the development of learning and the constitution of the subject preparing him for life. The quality of interactions is related to emotional adjustment and behavior of each one in the family dynamics that may contribute to the perception of its strengths and difficulties. Features such as the Assistive Technology (AT) favor the autonomy, functional independence and social and family interactions, facilitate access to education and work, can be applied in various contexts by improving the quality of life of the user. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of family members of people with severe motor impairment and their expectations regarding the use of the AUXILIS System. The research included a qualitative sample of six family members previously selected to participate in the AUXILIS Project, CTI/MCT, four mothers and two grandmothers aged 38 and 57 years who performed the role of primary caregiver for their children and grandchildren severe motor impairment with and without the possibility of using conventional computer due to physical limitations. The recording of information was in one of the partner institutions of the AUXILIS Project through semistructured interviews recorded and transcribed. The data were grouped into four thematic categories and analyzed according to the technique of content analysis. The expectations presented regarding the use of assistive technology developed in information technology refers to the desire that the child/grandchild develop communication and independence, improve self-esteem and acquire or enhance social skills and school. Uncertainty regarding the ability of children/grandchildren in resource use, the possibility of them becoming fully independent, the possibility of frustration these family expectations, feelings of guilt and the search for repair were also present in the reports<br>Mestrado<br>Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação<br>Mestra em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação

碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>科技應用與人力資源發展學系<br>105<br>The financial and insurance industries have been dedicated to financial digitization to improve service quality. The information and communication technology (ICT) competency becomes one of the core elements of financial digitization. Understanding the relationship between banking clerks’ ICT competencies, self-efficacy and performance can lead to improve their selection, training, retention and appointment. This study aimed to understand the relationship between the above variables. The subjects of this study were bank clerks in the finance sector of a bank. Employing questionnaire surveys to collect data and using statistical methods, such as factor analysis, correlation analysis and multivariate regression, to test research hypotheses, the results of this study are as follows: (1) Banking clerks’ ICT competencies are positively and significantly correlated with their self-efficacies. (2) Banking clerks’ ICT competencies are positively and significantly correlated with their performance. (3) Banking clerks’ self-efficacies are positively and significantly correlated with their performance. (4) Self-efficacy is a partial mediator between banking clerks’ ICT competencies and performance.

Information security research shows that employees are a source of some of the security incidents in the organisation. This often results from failure to comply with the Information Security Policies (ISPs). The question is, therefore, how to improve information security behaviour of employees so that it complies with the ISPs. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of information security behaviour, especially how it can be improved, from an intrinsic motivation perspective. A review of the literature suggested that research in information security behaviour is still predominantly based on the extrinsic perspective, while the intrinsic perspective has not received as much attention. This resulted in the study being carried out from the perspective of the self-determination theory (SDT) since this theory has also not received as much attention in the study of information security behaviour. The study then proposed an information security compliant behaviour conceptual model based on the self-determination theory, (ISCBMSDT). Based on this model, a questionnaire, the ISCBMSDT questionnaire, was developed using the Human Aspects of Information Security Questionnaire and SDT. Using this questionnaire, a survey (n = 263) was carried out at a South African university and responses were received from the academic, administrative and operational staff. The following statistical analysis of the data was carried out: exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent samples test (t-tests) and Pearson correlation analysis. The responses to the survey questions suggest that autonomy questions received positive perception followed by competence questions and relatedness questions. The correlation analysis results show the existence of a statistically significant relationship between competence and autonomy factors. Also, a partial significant relationship between autonomy and relatedness factors as well as between competence and relatedness factors was observed. The exploratory factor analysis that was performed on the questionnaire produced 11 factors. Cronbach alpha was then computed for the eleven factors and all were found to be above 0.7, thus suggesting that the questionnaire is valid and reliable. The results of the research study also suggest that competence and autonomy could be more important than relatedness in directing information security behaviour among employees.<br>School of Computing<br>M.

The introduction of e-learning in teaching and learning has necessitated the training of staff members in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This study focuses on the challenges that staff members, who are the facilitators of learning, experience when undergoing training in ICT. The research design employed a qualitative methodology which involved focus groups from a public university. Data was collected from the participants through semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that the challenges that staff members experienced during ICT training are related to a lack of computer competence, lack of time, an information overload, the non-involvement of staff in the planning of their training, facilitation limitations, lack of technical support and institutional challenges that involve infrastructure. The study further revealed that the principles of adult learning play a reciprocal role in the staff’s professional developmental challenges. In view of these findings, this study offers recommendations for improving the ICT training of staff members.<br>Educational Studies<br>M. Ed. (Adult Education)

Much of the literature surrounding virtual health communities highlights the factors critical to their success such as availability to medical resources, efficiency of being able to access medical practitioners and the ability to access a supporting network of patients with similar medical conditions. There is however little research which establishes whether South African health consumers are ready for a virtual health community and whether health consumers will be encouraged to participate in these virtual communities to achieve greater levels of self managed health. This study addresses that question. The research was grounded in literature from the Health Belief Model (HBM) and Technology Readiness (TR) and Trust. A research model was developed, which hypothesized the effects of perceived benefits, perceived severity, cues to action, self-efficacy, confidence, trust and technology readiness attributes on health consumers’ intentions to participate in a virtual health community. To test the research model, the study adopted a quantitative research design and collected data using an online structured questionnaire. The sampling frame for this study was a convenience sample of health consumers in South Africa. Ninety-nine useable responses were received. Results from multiple regression analysis showed that perceived benefits, cues to action, self efficacy and trust were good predictors of the attitude towards virtual health communities as well as intentions to participate in such communities. An important part of the study was exploring differences between health consumers with chronic conditions and those without. The study is important for medical professionals, government and pharmaceutical companies, as it provides valuable information on the extent to which South African health consumers are ready for a virtual medical community. It also identifies the factors influencing user’s intentions towards the use of the virtual health community and provides significant empirical evidence for the HBM and TR literatures.
