Article - The effect of computer self-efficacy on the behavioral intention to use translation technologies among college students: Mediating role of learning motivation and cognitive engagement Volume: 246 Halaman: 104259
Amid an era of rapid globalization and technological advancement, translation technologies stand as valuable
assets for college students to enhance accuracy and efficiency in the translation process. However, the adoption
and acceptance of these technologies are contingent on several psychological factors, which are underexplored in
the academic field. This study, populated by a cohort of 397 college students, employs a multiple-item ques-
tionnaire measuring computer self-efficacy, learning motivation, cognitive engagement, and the behavioral
intention to utilize translation technologies. The collected data were analyzed through a Partial Least Squares-
Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Results indicated that computer self-efficacy significantly
correlated with learning motivation, cognitive engagement, and behavioral intention to use translation tech-
nologies. Learning motivation and cognitive engagement were identified as critical mediators; combined, they
exhibited a chain mediating effect on the association between computer self-efficacy and the intention to adopt
translation technologies. Untangling the intertwined influences of these psychological constructs provides pro-
found implications for the stakeholders, including tertiary education institutions, educators, curriculum de-
velopers, and technologists, to design effective pedagogical strategies and technology platforms to enhance
translation technology adoption. This will equip students to harness these technologies and create a conducive
environment for them to thrive in a globalized and digitally interconnected world.
