Abstract

It has been observed that school senior administrators who are often older tend to delegate computer related tasks to others. This paper tries to look at the impact of anxiety, lack of computer skills through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The collected data are then presented to devise a theory on understanding the phenomena of task delegation by school administrators. The generated theory pointed out that anxiety to learn new skills and technophobia contributes to the fear of learning, plus the concept of easy delegation creates a symphony of inability to learn the new technologies of today.
