This study examines the influence of technology readiness dimensions namely optimism, innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity on the actual use of electronic evaluation forms among examiners of internship students in business schools of higher learning institutions.

As a result, this study may provide significant insights into the human aspects influencing technology usage behaviour in educational settings and offer practical suggestions for bridging the gap between technology readiness, actual usage, and commercial value in business schools. The data were collected through an online survey of 119 examiners and analysed using IBM SPSS Version 24 and SmartPLS 4.0.9.2. The findings indicate that optimism has a positive influence on the actual use of electronic evaluation forms, whereas innovativeness, discomfort, and insecurity do not. Additionally, the actual use of evaluation forms positively impacts commercialization. Thus, the findings provide significant contributions to theory and practice.
