AB  - ICT projects in Malaysia have been one of the impetuses for 
  achieving development in this country. Parallel with the ICT development in 
  Malaysia, ICT usage among the Malaysian has increased significantly. Nonetheless, 
  things are different in the rural areas where past studies have shown that ICT 
  usage among the rural community in Malaysia is still discouraging. Albeit this 
  fact are the same situation can be identified among the village administrators 
  and what are the factors that impinge their ICT usage? Purportedly, as the leaders 
  of the rural community they should use ICT in order to encourage the rural community 
  to use ICT. This quantitative study used questionnaire to gather information. 
  Through a multi-stage random sampling, a total of 240 village administrators 
  from four states in Peninsular Malaysia have been selected as the respondents. 
  In general, ICT has been used moderately among the village administrators. All 
  of seven factors of Extended Technology Acceptance Model studied have been detected 
  to be positively and significantly related with ICT usage while self-efficacy 
  was identified as the main contributor towards ICT usage. A number of recommendations 
  and discussions have been highlighted and expectantly it can aid the concern 
  parties and policy makers in drawing plans for strengthening the ICT usage among 
  the rural community leaders.
