Sudden rise in the pandemic has also revolutionized the teaching practices amidst of lock down practices which have led the universities and institutions to adopt technology systems as a source of connectivity to students and impart education. However the haphazard implementation of technological practices has levied a stress upon deliverability by faculties especially in tourism and hospitality which is more a practical based concept. Keeping in view the current scenario of teaching and learning practices, the current study examines factors associated with the technological adoption in tourism and hospitality faculty. Where the technological acceptance model describes the adoption for technology in teaching practices, results for structural constraints associated with it cannot be neglected. So to understand how to sustain technology use, there is a requirement for understanding what influences adoption process among teachers and how such factors determine their future intentions. Accordingly an online survey was conducted from faculties of tourism and hospitality of various universities and institutes in India. About 355 responses which were found reliable were used for final analysis. SEM analysis revealed that the relationship between self-efficacy, perceived ease of use at one hand have direct significant impact on intentions for future use, the structure constraints also mediates the relationship between the self-efficacy and intention to use thereby reflecting a significant role in technology adoption practices. The research will help in filling up the theoretical as well as implications for tourism education system and technological adoption practices where while technological training and digital familiarity programs needs to be implemented play as structural factors induces a significant impression on online pedagogical system in India.
