This study compared the performance of the partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and the robust partial least squares -structural equation modelling (RPLS-SEM) methods through Winsorisation approach The inputs and the outputs used in this model were based on the electricity generation data, derived from the Al-Zawiya Steam Power Plant, Libya. Furthermore, the researchers compared the novel RPLS-SEM approach with the traditional PLS-SEM approach and noted that the novel RPLS-SEM method was more efficient compared to PLS-SEM.

The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the factors that could affect the students to adopt e-learning system in Libyan universities. This study is quantitative approach, a questionnaire was adopted from previous studies and distributed among the students to collect the data. The sample of the study consists 365 students from Libya. AMOS software was used to analysis the data. The results indicated that Performance Expectancy, Efforts Expectancy, Facilitating Conditions, Habit and Trust have significant impact on behavioural intention. Moreover, the relationship between Behavioural intention and use behaviour is also significantly positive.
