This study aims to investigate the relationship of innovation characteristics and demographic factors on the effectiveness of information and communication technology (ICT) utilization in Malaysian Productivity Corporation (MPC). The specific objective of this study is to understand the relationship between innovation characteristics and demographic factors in influencing the level of innovation adoption and which factors are most dominant in influencing the effectiveness of ICT. Using purposive sampling, a total of 210 respondents was selected consisting of MPC headquarters and 5 MPC branches throughout Malaysia. Data and information were collected using questionnaires. 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. This finding suggests that innovation characteristics influenced the acceptance of innovation and will be the determinants of quality in an organization.

The interaction of education and digital technology today is one of the key characteristics of development. Many industrialized nations place a high value on digital learning practices and have created several national strategic plans to encourage and support the use of digital practices in education. In its reform and development of education, Eritrea has also made the strategic decision to assist educational modernization using a clear digital policy. Eritrea has made significant advancements in the creation of technology infrastructure, the use of digital resources, innovative teaching methods, and technology-supported educational management to date. However, there are still issues with execution brought on by teachers' preparation, public spending, and human resources. The study collected useful information from n = 141 active student-teachers participating in post-graduate diploma (PGD) practice at Asmara College of Education utilizing both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Results have been reported using special and original quotes together with both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study's conclusions show that teachers' enthusiasm for using ICT in the classroom will have a favorable effect on their ability to teach, assisting them in becoming aware of the modernized world and adjusting to its expectations. The knowledge of the teachers has a big impact on digital activities. Additionally, the research has revealed that Eritrean school instructors have little knowledge of using ICT in teaching and learning to improve student performance. The perception of teachers' preparation for digital competency is positive, even though a noteworthy problem is being highlighted that prevents teaching and learning from succeeding. They have a very high and favorable opinion of how the use of technology has affected their ability to teach.
