Abstract
This study examined factors influencing participation in Thammasat University Library information literacy activities (IL) to formulate guidelines for organizationally improving them. Data was collected through an online questionnaire validated for content accuracy (IOC) and reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.884) by questionnaire from 145 participants, including students, instructors, and staff who had attended IL; the data was analyzed by percentage, frequency, mean, and standard deviation.
Results showed that IL participation interest was impacted at a high or highest level by attitudes toward participation, behavioral intention, and perceived self-efficacy, usefulness. Social influence was rated at a high level. Mean scores follow: attitudes toward participation (4.49–4.52); perceived usefulness (4.42–4.47); perceived self-efficacy (4.30–4.41); behavioral intention (4.19–4.42); and social influence (3.21–3.89) and attitudes toward participation is the most impactful variable, exerting significantly positive influence on behavioral intention.
