The purpose of this research therefore was to examine users' awareness of and perception on IS issues amongst the Kulliyyah of Information and Communication Technology (KICT) post graduate (PG) students of IIUM. To this end, data collection was elicited through the administration of questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis was performed by using the SPSS version 20 on the questionnaire and a qualitative study method that involved breaking the interview into themes was employed for the interview data by determining the commonality among their views. |
