The adoption of mobile cloud computing technology is still at an early stage of implementation in the university campus. This research aims to fill this gap by investigating the main factors that influence on the decision to adopt mobile cloud computing in the university campus. Therefore, this research proposes an integrated model, incorporating seven key technological factors derived from previous research review, along with new factors (such as quality of service and relative advantage) that have not been addressed in the previous researches as key aspects in the decision to adopt mobile cloud services in university campus. Data were collected from 210 academic staff in different departments in the public universities in Saudi Arabia. The most influential determinants of mobile cloud adoption were found to be quality of service, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, relative advantage and trust. The results also showed security and privacy concerns still prevent mobile cloud adoption in Saudi universities. Finally, findings of this research provide valuable guidelines to universities, mobile cloud providers and decision makers to ensure a successful implementation of mobile cloud computing technology.
