Quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson correlation statistical analysis, t-test and ANOVA. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between innovation characteristics such as relative advantages, compatibility, complexity, observability and triability with the effectiveness of ICT in MPC. Observability has been identified as the major factor with the effectiveness of ICT in MPC with variants of 49%. The results of the analysis also proved that there is no significant difference between demographic factors with the effectiveness of ICT. The result also showed that age and level of academic is not a factor affecting the use of ICT in MPC. This has been proven by the findings of this study that the majority of respondents used ICT between 5 to 7 hours a day and 131 respondents has over 9 years of experience using computer at MPC.
