The purpose of this study was to examine motivational factors affecting the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the educational practices of faculty members at a university in Jordan. A quantitative approach was used in which 35 participants completed a questionnaire. They were faculty members who were teaching in the first semester of the 2016-2017 academic years. The participants reported limited use of ICT for educational purposes. The most significant motivational factors they reported were internal and personal ones related to the direct benefits of ICT in terms of enhancing their teaching practice, enhancing students' learning, and improving their job satisfaction. External factors including physical and moral motivational factors, as well as university support and encouragement, had a moderate influence on the participants' use of ICT for educational purposes. Recommendations are presented based on the findings.
