Abstract
A significant majority of research focusing on both technology and burnout has focused on how new technology affects the job-related attitudes of the employees. This research looked at technology and burnout from a different perspective. The technology in question had been in place for several years. Most University System of Georgia (USG) faculty should have already been exposed to the D2L Brightspace platform. However, around the time of this research (2018), the technology was receiving an upgrade, moving to the version called “Daylight.” The aim of this study was twofold. First, this study intended to add to the limited knowledge base of technology acceptance in the context of an upgrade. Second, this study investigated a snapshot of job-related attitudes of the employees. The Maslach Burnout Inventory–Educators Survey (MBI-ES) was joined with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to see how the job-related attitudes of the employees affected their acceptance of the technology upgrade to the Learning Management System (LMS).
