This research paper describes an integrated framework based on both the ‘Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework’ and ‘Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) theory’. The study explores the noteworthy factors and sub-factors which are pertinent for the adoption of cloud computing in the Ethiopian Higher Education (EHE) sector. The technology literature herein was based on technology adoption frameworks and theories which were studied in order to identify a set of factors and sub-factors relevant to cloud computing adoption. It resulted in conceptualizing an integrated TOE–DoI framework for cloud computing adoption in higher education at the university in Ethiopia and in developing its reliable measures. Accordingly, a quantitative study was done with a questionnaire survey comprising 500 respondents in connection with 4 factors (technological, organizational, environmental and socio-cultural). Consequently, the cloud computing adoption in Ethiopia was established using factors and concepts adopted from the study. It confirmed that the TOE–DoI approach to higher education in Ethiopia is authenticated. Thus, the four factors’ reliability statistics validated with a Cronbach’s alpha a = 0.739, 0.712, 0.761, 0.841, and Cronbach’s alpha ‘a’ based on standard items a = 0.740, 0.713, 0.762 and 0.842 for technology, organizational, environmental, and socio-cultural factors. This indicates that scaling the four aspects therein suggests profound evidence to determine a cloud computing adoption in EHE with TOE–DoI integration.

高等教育领域采用云计算的TOE–DoI集成框架：埃塞俄比亚撒哈拉以南非洲案例研究

本研究论文描述了基于“技术-组织-环境（TOE）框架”和“创新扩散（DoI）理论”的集成框架。该研究探讨了与埃塞俄比亚高等教育（EHE）部门采用云计算有关的值得注意的因素和子因素。本文中的技术文献基于技术采用框架和理论，对这些技术和框架进行了研究，以便确定与云计算采用相关的一组因素和子因素。它为埃塞俄比亚大学在高等教育中采用云计算而采用的TOE–DoI集成框架构想，并制定了可靠的措施。因此，我们通过问卷调查进行了定量研究，该问卷包括500名与4种因素（技术，组织，环境和社会文化）。因此，埃塞俄比亚采用了这项研究中采用的因素和概念，确立了云计算的采用率。它证实了埃塞俄比亚高等教育的TOE-DoI方法是经过验证的。因此，基于技术，组织，环境和技术方面的标准项a = 0.740、0.713、0.762和0.842的标准项目a分别为Cronbach's alpha a = 0.739、0.712、0.761、0.841和Cronbach's alpha'a'，验证了这四个因素的可靠性。社会文化因素。这表明扩展其中的四个方面提供了深刻的证据，可以确定采用TOE-DoI集成的EHE中采用云计算。它证实了埃塞俄比亚高等教育的TOE-DoI方法是经过验证的。因此，基于技术，组织，环境和技术方面的标准项a = 0.740、0.713、0.762和0.842的标准项目a分别为Cronbach's alpha a = 0.739、0.712、0.761、0.841和Cronbach's alpha'a'，验证了这四个因素的可靠性。社会文化因素。这表明扩展其中的四个方面提供了深刻的证据，可以确定采用TOE-DoI集成的EHE中采用云计算。它证实了埃塞俄比亚高等教育的TOE-DoI方法是经过验证的。因此，基于技术，组织，环境和技术方面的标准项a = 0.740、0.713、0.762和0.842的标准项目a分别为Cronbach's alpha a = 0.739、0.712、0.761、0.841和Cronbach's alpha'a'，验证了这四个因素的可靠性。社会文化因素。这表明扩展其中的四个方面提供了深刻的证据，可以确定采用TOE-DoI集成的EHE中采用云计算。和社会文化因素。这表明扩展其中的四个方面提供了深刻的证据，可以确定采用TOE-DoI集成的EHE中采用云计算。和社会文化因素。这表明扩展其中的四个方面提供了深刻的证据来确定采用TOE-DoI集成的EHE中采用云计算。
