The study focuses on 150 corporate customers of major banks in Brunei Darussalam to explore the behavioral intent of the corporate customers toward e-banking through their attitudes. The conceptual framework was developed through theory of planned behavior (TPB) to understand the intention towards using e-banking. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 and PLS smart graph suggests that customers' attitudes toward e-banking is a significant predictor of behavioral intention whereas subjective norms and perceived behavioral control remained insignificant. The model has good parsimony with 52% of the total variance in intention is shared by these independent variables. However, use of e-banking was further supported by the behavioral intention. Based upon conclusion, the study provides the practical implications both for the management and researchers.

The acceptance of e-banking is affected by several factors, including the personal attitude of the users that influences normality and the context in which it is used. This study examines 150 customers of four major banks in Brunei Darussalam to explore the behavioral intent of the corporate customers toward e-banking through their attitudes. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is used as a reference framework to understand the intention toward using e-banking. The data is analyzed using PLS smart graph; analysis suggests that customers’ attitudes toward e-banking are a significant predictor of behavioral intention, whereas subjective norms and perceived behavioral control are insignificant. The causal link between perceived behavioral control and behavior (use of e-banking) is also insignificant. However, use of e-banking is further supported by the behavioral intention. The implications of these findings are discussed and conclusions are drawn.

The Big-five factor inventory of personality measures were used and the results indicate that personality dimensionsof “conscientiousness” and ‘agreeableness” are strong predictors of Facebook usage among the students of this technical college.

PBL has a learning environment in which the problem drives learning, because it is posed in such a way that students realize they need to acquire new knowledge before the problem can be solved. This study examines the experience of an implementation of PBL approach to teaching of an undergraduate programming course at a higher educational institution in Brunei Darussalam. The study results further indicated the improvement among students' performance based upon problem-based methodology. A survey instrument was used to generate the quantitative data for subsequent evaluation and analysis using the SPSS statistical software. The finding from this study will contribute to our understanding of the difficulties in learning introductory programming and can provide educators with an alternative strategy...

The data collected through survey indicates that majority of the school principals posses average computer expertise, however the use of ICT across curriculum is still at infancy stage. In addition, demographical variables gender, age and computer expertise significantly contributing towards the principals’ use of the information and communication technologies. However, age is negatively associated with the use of information technology. Based on the results some recommendations are made to the relevant authorities of ICT Department, Ministry of Education

The study was undertaken in one of the technical institutions in Brunei Darussalam. The study uses the survey methodology and is based upon the questionnaire that was distributed randomly to the students to assess their attitudes towards e-learning and to find out any demographical factors that are significant towards the students' use of e-learning. The result shows that the majority of the students have a positive attitude towards e-learning with a mean of 3.67. The factor analysis data has suggested a two-factor solution on the nine attitudinal items out of the 20 items scale that was initially used to assess the students' attitude. The result of regression analysis further indicates that none of the demographical factors are significant predictors of the students' attitude towards e-learning. However, [analysis of variance] ANOVA test has found s...

The study uses a survey approach and further indicate that majority of school leaders posses transformational style which is related with the various uses of ICT. The correlation analysis has also shown the significant relationship between transformational leadership styles and the technology development and operational phase. Therefore, based upon the analysis some recommendations are made for the relevant authorities.

The study uses a survey approach methodology of four hundred customers of the four major banks in Brunei Darussalam. Data from the individual customers confirms that 31% of them are using Internet banking and 46% of the respondents are satisfied with Internet banking. Factors such as income level, Internet experience, age and educational level are significant determinants of overall satisfaction with online banking. However, gender has no impact in determining the overall satisfaction. The model tested with hierarchical regression analysis has a good fit with 66% of variance being explained by all the independent variables towards the customers' satisfaction. Based upon the results some recommendations were made.

The Brunei Government has embarked on various e-government projects. Some of these projects embed biometric mechanism for authentication. The acceptance of biometric security services appears to be affected by several factors, some of which may be the personal attitude of the users, influences of normality and context in
