The research model is developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and technology\u2013organisation\u2013environment (TOE). Structural equation modelling has been used to test the research model. The paper focuses on the use of management simulation games among educators in higher educational institutions (HEIs). Its purpose is to determine the factors influencing educators\u2019 use of these games from both individual and institutional perspectives. The TAM captures the individual perspective, while the TOE framework addresses the institutional perspective. The structural equation model confirmed most of the TAM hypotheses. Results: However, the model does not support the hypotheses regarding the relationship between perceived ease of use and attitude toward usage or between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The technological factors within the TOE framework did not significantly impact perceived usefulness, only perceived ease of use. Conclusion: The combined TAM-TOE model has demonstrated valid representativeness. Previous research on the usage of management simulation games has primarily focused on students, neglecting the broader perspective of educators in HEIs in business and economics within both the TAM and TOE frameworks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info16010045","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]],"date-time":"2025-01-13T09:49:17Z","timestamp":1736761757000},"page":"45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Understanding Determinants of Management Simulation Games Adoption in Higher Educational Institutions Using an Integrated Technology Acceptance Model\/Technology\u2013Organisation\u2013Environment Model: Educator Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3899-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirjana Peji\u0107","family":"Bach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Zagreb, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3124-3094","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maja","family":"Me\u0161ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Maribor, 4000 Kranj, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Marija","family":"Stjepi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Zagreb, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarwar","family":"Khawaja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SK Research-Oxford Business College, Oxford OX1 2BQ, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1305-9493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fayyaz Hussain","family":"Quershi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SK Research-Oxford Business College, Oxford OX1 2BQ, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nizam, D.N.M., and Law, E.L.
