Abstract

This study investigates the role of institutional support in influencing the adoption and integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) among academicians in vocational higher education institutions. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines AI-assisted online data collection of primary quantitative and qualitative responses with secondary data analysis of institutional documents and LMS usage trends. Findings reveal that institutional factors such as training availability, administrative encouragement, and infrastructure significantly affect the willingness and ability of educators to adopt LMS tools. The integration of technological and human support elements is shown to bridge gaps in digital readiness and pedagogical adaptability. The study contributes to understanding how targeted institutional support can enhance technology acceptance and shape effective digital teaching practices within vocational education settings.
