Moreover, the hypothesis was tested using structural equation modeling - partial least squares (SEM-PLS). As the results, this study indicated that the task and technological characteristics had a positive effect on task-technology fit; and task-technology fit had a posilive effect on smartphone usage. In addition, the smartphone usage mediated the effect of task technology on learning achievement. While, the characteristic of individuals (learning styles) did not affect task-technology fit in advancing learning achievement.
